McCarthy: We've adjusted some things in Trey Lance throwing motion

[DuncanIso]

The mistake was made by the 49ers giving 3 first round picks for him lol everyone knew he needed a lot of development

His scouting report says otherwise.

He’s a phenom.

Kerry Collins says hi. He even got a team to a Super Bowl after Jim Fassel changed up his motion to limit the hitch that he had.

Jim Fassel also changed the hitch in the defense that carried Sober Kerry Collins to a Superbowl

Dak says he's been sober too

 

[CWR]

Wow, wasn't he a converted safety, or was it the other way around?

Pretty sure Showers was cut that year and signed to the practice squad. I liked Showers, remember rooting for him.

KM wouldn't have lasted long as our starting QB. He was trash. Dak would've taken his job, even as a rookie.

He hasn’t played enough games, isn’t accurate enough to give 3 first round picks for. For 3 first you don’t draft a guy that raw that’s gonna need multiple years to develop. A 4th wasn’t a bad deal to see if we can develop him at all

 

[Canada180]

Maybe Lance can show Dak what he learned

” adjusting his throwing motion “ is the kiss of death.

This could also be listed as Dak’s weakness!

 

[Dorsett33]

If they’re adjusting his throwing motion that’s not good, especially with this being his third season.

What's not good about it? NFL QBs .....some of the best make adjustments all the time. Many go to a QB school or have a QB guru that makes adjustments in year 4, 5 or year 6. Nothing wrong with this.

That's what Romo did.

Yeah...most do. Brady did it. A lot of them do

[NotForLong]

The fact that he is not good enough to make it onto the field is not a point in his favor and I find it strange people are trying to argue that it somehow is.

Injuries kept him from the field

 

[NotForLong]

Have to wonder what will happen after this season if Jerry lets McCarthy also play out his contract and goes elsewhere and probably to a team that needs a QB. Lance is also on his last year of a contract with Dallas so if McCarthy believes that Lance has the stuff, then I could see a team hiring McCarthy and brings Lance with him.

Sure Dallas could keep Lance on a franchise tag for some $45 million but the fans would go nuts at having to pay Lance $45 million for a unproven QB.

Any Given Sunday

 

[TwentyOne]

And the 9ers be like

 

[Adreme]

Injuries kept him from the field

Injuries only caused issues in 1 of his 3 years (and the injury in year 2 was after he looked horrible to start). Looking bad as a rookie and losing a backup job convincingly to Sam Darnold were not injury related and were simply because he was not good enough.

Again there is not a single QB this century who you can say looked as bad as he did and managed to reach the level of a top 10 or even top 15 QB. It’s not impossible but it would be a historic turnaround.

 

[rambo2]

How does Trance change anything, when he has not done anything?

You are going to look pretty silly once camp starts.

He already is looking silly. He is in a "Trance" over Trey Lance.

It's weird what he has been doing.

 

[Bullflop]

I have a decent amount of respect for MM as an offensive judge of QB talent and guidance. I think the adjustments he speaks of with regards to Trey Lance have been something more of subtle adjustments than radical changes. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in TC with Trey Lance. He sorely needs additional development more than anything else. I suspect the 49ers wanted a quick solution, rather than a developmental thing at QB. We'll possibly see if things bear that out in TC.
