Never mind me. I'm just over here envisioning the plausibility that Trey Lance could represent a Taysom Hill kind-of asset starting this season.
This season. And from where I sit, I think he could even be a stronger asset than Hill has ever been for NO.
Honestly, it's probably the role that makes sense for him. For now anyway. Starter, of course not. But it's not hard for me to imagine McC coming up with some packages for him to keep an opposing defense on edge and impact a game.
I mean, the kid is still young, and there's reason to give him at least a couple of years to see if he can be the QB he was drafted to be. But you don't have to do that right now. Lance is an athletic freak, and as I re-read some of his pre-draft scouting reports, he was commonly considered a slimmer version of Daunte Culpepper coming out of UCF back when UCF had something like the same regard as NDSU had had.
He has the raw tools.
