Trade Lance

[Blackspider214]

The trade the 49ers made for Trey Lance will go down in the record books as one of the very worst in NFL history. Certainly a top 10 bad move.

True but at least they knew when to cut bait and move on. Some teams hang on to these high draft picks because they seem obligated. Especially if they gave up a lot to get him. You see it a lot. Front offices lean hard on these coaches to play these guys they went out and signed, drafted, traded for. Even though the players aren't good. SF saw Lance and knew he was never going to cut it. He got hurt and never won his job back. Doubt he would keep it long even if he stayed healthy. He was very bad. SF never really lost a step on this draft blunder. These kinds of moves can cripple a franchise for years.

SF is very proactive in their QB situation. Even though Jimmy G got to a Super Bowl, they knew he wasn't that good and desperate need for an upgrade. This is why they went out of their way to get Lance. Jimmy G is a bum who was carried by the rest of his team. They were proactive when they saw Lance was not good. Now, a guy they drafted with the last pick of the whole draft, is most likely going to be their guy for the next decade plus and they still have room to sign their other cornerstones. I envy front offices who can wheel and deal like them. Eagles are the same way.

Now that Dak is signed, trade Lance to a QB starved team and at least recoup the draft capital we spent acquiring him.

At this point JJ isn't going to get anything close to a 4th rder for Lance. I believe JJ is between a rock and a hard spot with Lance. If Lance is put on the PS any team can sign him away for NOTHING or leaving him where he's at takes up a valuable spot on the 53 man roster and he's not even the 2nd best QB on the team. Shop him now and take whatever offer you get.......................

How do you know the team hasn’t?

 

[quickccc]

No league trade value...Might as well use and keep him here in case of Injury emergency...

Try to resign him to league minimum per free agency after the season to continue development. ..imo.

Jerry dropped a major turd with this costly trade move. This man just can't help himself from hurting the team.

SMDH.

How did it hurt the team? No more of a gamble than any other 4th round pick. Some you guys are over the top.

 

[charron]

To whom?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

To whom?

I like how some say "He's worthless let's trade him NOW!!!"

Ummm...to who? You say he sucks but think someone will trade?

There were 4 good RBs there towards the later half of the 4th round for the taking which any of them could have immediately helped our current rushing attack. That's the truth. If you or others can't handle that fact, it's not my problem.

Only fact in that statement was 4 running backs, them helping is an opinion, a fact that you don't seem to be able handle. Here is another fact for you, we traded down and picked up an extra 3rd and still didn't take a RB.

I agree about SF being proactive and moving on when they realized the huge mistake they made by trading all those picks for the guy. Contrast that with Jerry Jones being reluctant to let go of Lance although he only cost a 4th and a few dollars even after Lance proved he was a dud this preseason.

That's right. No one is desperate to give up assets for a guy who hasn't shown much entering the last year of his deal.

Only 70 yards rushing yesterday between 3 RBs. Not good enough. FACT

It was good enough for the day. Give it some time.

 

[TwoDeep3]

What if Dak gets hurt. You want to depend on Cooper Rush?

Haven't we seen this movie before? I think it was called, "4-1." It starred some redheaded actor whose name I have forgotten.

Dowdle needs less reps. Give those to Deuce Vaughn. Deuce has more wiggle and burst, plus can hide behind our Oline and get through the smallest crevices for positive yards. Even possibly break several if given much more than only 1 measly rushing attempt.

 

[exciter]

I don’t think he monumentally failed. He certainly flashed as a runner at different points, and his traits alone will get him some looks.

He is raw and is a developmental prospect. Teams fall in love with those kinds of prospects all the time.

I’m not saying he has a great market by any stretch, but I think he would absolutely be picked up by a team and given another opportunity to develop

Yay he can run!
Lots of people can do so in this league and not get the time he’s been allotted.
4 seasons and he’s just as raw and inept as the day he entered the league.
Guessing whatever interest he has piqued during that 4 seasons has waned dramatically!

 

[DandyDon52]

The trade was stupid in the first place.

Now he has not only lost any value he had. He is taking up a big cap number this season that could have been used to secure a RB in free agency.

No jerry was going to go with elliot no matter what.
And jerry is going to keep lance as he sees potential !

 

[vlad]

I’d be surprised if you could get a 7th 4 years from now for him because of the contract situation

the way that game was, in the 4th they should have ran duece only, give him some carries and see what he does.
But no they just gave him the 1 carry which was meaningless.
I dont think MM wants deuce at all.

You might be right, DD. If McCarthy or Schottenheimer don't want to use Deuce, they are making a big mistake.
