PFT: Former No. 3 Overall pick Trey Lance to hit free agency

[DuncanIso]

I thought it was worth the gamble. Obviously it wasn’t but the 49ers gave 3 firsts so that was a much worse deal

Lance is UFA and his agent wants $$$$$

Not about ability.

We have Grier and likely draft a QB.

Thats 2M.

Cap broke.

1st round QB.

Yes, that's where he was picked by San Franciso ...

His agent can want in one hand lol he’s not gonna get more than vet min maybe some incentives. He hasn’t shown he can be a capable backup in the nfl let alone a starter. Someone will take a look but no big payday coming

1st round QB.

Free agent quarterback with 4 years in the NFL and a woeful resume. In addition, when his original team dared play him he was exceedingly injury prone. His agent has quite a challenge ahead of him starting next week. He’s going to earn his 3%.

When did Shanahan become a QB guru? He had Matt Ryan and lucked into Purdy. Also, Lance was a John Lynch pick. Sean Payton is more of a QB guru than him.

Why b/c Payton "lucked" into Drew Brees? Shanahan is cut from the same cloth.

If you aren't saying they should have just let him play then how is it you determined they had no intent to ever let him play? The fact that he didn't play doesn't prove that.

Again, he was a developmental guy. They didn't bring him in with the intent to play him immediately. His chances of playing always hinged on how the coaches saw his development.

I never said they should have just let him play. Can you show me I said that?

I object to signing someone with the intent to never let him play. There's a difference there and it's not subtle.

And it was NEVER about his performance. When Jerry signed Dak...that was it. There WAS an injury and Jerry rightly started Coop based on his experience.

My comment came from some small quip about "never intending to play Lance". I just don't think you should EVER do that. Even a "development" SHOULD have an intent to play.

True or not...I was only commenting on THAT. And yet here we are.
