It’s funny that Mr. Irrelevant has two #3 overall picks as his backups 😂
Goes to show those scouts are a bunch of phonies (see "Moneyball", 2011, with Brad Pitt).

More about Kyle than Purdy or Lance
Lance has barely played any football in the past 4 years. Trading up to draft him has turned out to be ridiculous.
He only drafted Trey Lance because the media and some of the toxic 49er fans vilified Mac Jones, and that scared Kyle away drafting Mac Jones.
@@motown1970 Kyle diidnt want him thats common knowledge now and was known then Lynch wanted Lance and now Lance has delusional fans who hyped him up look if he didnt mess his ankle up he would have eventually been benched for Jimmy
The idea that he hasn't been playing any football is so ludicrous. It's not like he's been stocking shelves like Kurt Warner or something since 2019. He plays football almost every day of his life. You think practice and film sessions and preseason games means nothing or aren't football? Aaron Rodgers held a clipboard for his first three years in the league. He didn't start a single game and then came in and threw for 4000 yards and 28 TDs the first year he started. Trey has started multiple games already. He's been playing football, FFS.
@@googleisskynet7312 Well, then maybe he is no good at QB and needs to find a different career path.
Ridiculous would be an understatement of the year. Insanely dumb, idiotic and stupid is closer to the truth.
Florio’s Lance hot take was ridiculous. And there was no push back from any of you guys. You just let him say it.
Florio wants to be Skip Bayless so bad (not a compliment)
Truth
@d.9258 Wanting to be Skip for the fame is like wanting to be a Kardashian for the attention.
There are far higher titles to take
@@d.9258I cant stand him. Hes a liar.
Dude has spent a year now asserting that clark hunt is cooking the books and pocketing shared revenue. He needs humbled. That's defamation.
Lombardi didn’t lie 🤷🏻♀️
The line about Trey Lance's instincts "from the crib" is entirely out of line. It's shifting the conversation from his pro struggles to him never having any upside and that's demonstrably untrue.
I'd appreciate more actual sports journalism as opposed to talking heads and their "hot takes".
What upside and since when do imaginary upsides win football games? What has Trey ever accomplished to make what he said demonstrably untrue? Lombardi was correct whether that hurts the feelings of Trey fans or not. He’s a terrible QB who clearly lacks the basic instincts for the game.
They dont do journalism they do "hot topics"
As soon as someone talks about "instincts", you know they're full of it.
You watched his tape in college and thought he looked like a top 3 draft pick? Have you ever watched Marino or Elway college tapes? They played against top talent and both jumped off the screen as elite talents. I watched Trey's tape against, effectively H.S. talent and, yes he put up big numbers, but i didn't see anything other than a man playing against boys.
@stevefowler2112 sure u "watched the tape" lol
Lance also didn't have CMC for his 5 quarters to start the season. Oh and Kittle was out Week 1 in Chicago too.
And Jeff Wilson jr as running back
More excuses. Purdy didn’t have Deebo at all down the stretch and still played lights out. So Trey needs a Super Bowl roster around him just to not be awful?
Darnold didn't have CMAC last year either going 3-2.
And having CMAC means squat when your indecisive. Know what happens if Trey plays with CMAC?
Trey gets CMAC killed because the window is closed and he gets KILLED when LB hits him.
Kittle is VERY happy with Brock dude. You never listened or saw or looked at any Kittle stats with Purdy.
Lol😂
You wanna be fans.
No QB has been dismissed before playing two games back to back like this. Two freak injuries are the only things holding him back. He needs reps. He was the most raw QB in his draft. That hasn't changed because of a broken finger and a broken ankle
His play holds him back.
@@Thebob6 ok clown. He has a higher QBR than Fields and Fields is a dark horse MVP candidate
@@Labelup01 Fields was close to being traded. As he can’t read a defense. He is a nice fantasy pick with his running ability at least.
@@Thebob6Lack of playing holds Trey back, as it would with any other underdeveloped QB.
Not hard to figure out.
@@Labelup01 Tbf anyone actually saying Fields is a MVP canidate are either dullusional Bears fans who fail to realize they are 6-21 under him or are fanasty players who take too much stock there
And Purdy vs Lance is the debate and the question is:
Would you rather a qb who might be good or a qb who has proven to be elite(albeit through 8 games but those 8 games were better played than anyone in the leauge )
That line from Lombardi is one of the harshest things I've ever heard about a high-drafted QB (edit: any athlete really) and seems needlessly cruel.
I can't believe he said that.... he owes the entire Lance Family an apology. What a jerk of a comment
The tone of it was fucked up and unprofessional. That said, I agree that Lance looks too nervous and indecisive to really succeed, he needs to trust his instincts and calm down
@@nathanchildress5596He did calm down the more he played & has done this before.
Agree
the way 49ers qbs seem to ALWAYS get injured i wouldnt say its out of the realm of reality to say that Trey no matter how he looks in preseason could get in some games. Hence the need for 3 maybe even 4 QBs
Shanahan always breaks his QBs
@@penoyer79not true when you actually look at the facts
@@penoyer79His 'innovative' protection schemes do create a lot of mismatches for the defense.
@@dakotastylesYou mean like having a back up tight end solo block an all pro pass rusher, leading to a serious injury to the starting QB in the NFCC?
That's a fact. It happened. It shouldnt have, but it did.
@@whitewhale9012 you say “ALWAYS” and you only give 1 example
Said it before and I’ll say it again, Lance still deserves a fair shot with the official weapons of the 49ers.
Keep saying it all you want, doesn't make it true. All he deserves is a pay check from the 9ers. They handed him a superbowl ready roster last season and he got hurt again because he doesn't have enough experience playing qb. He could run thru defenders at North Dakota, can't do that in the NFL and he learned the hard way. It was his decision to come out early after very little experience, he did it to chase a big payday. Good for him, but the 9ers have done all they can, time admit it was a huge reach.
@@Jdb6734 Got hurt play fullback, coaches fault. He's probably the best qb they have, only time will tell.

Must be earned.. every back up quarterback doesn’t get to play the first team
It's not kindergarten. He either has it or he doesn't. Big fall from starter to maybe #3.
The coach has to give him reps
@@cgruthless49erstalk58 It's year 3. Brock had very few reps before he went into the Miami game. It's a tough situation. At some point they probably all will play. He does need the experience. That's how you get confidence.
@@karenhardie1132year 3 and he’s played 3 1/2 games. You speaking about it being year 3 is irrelevant with context. He won’t get reps either unless he beats out darnold and Purdy gets hurt. Just be fair and stop being hyperbolic
@@ignoremyhandle The best person plays. The coaches know who that is.
@karenhardie1132 Finally someone with a brain. Unfortunate to Lance, but it has to be earned.
What I don't understand about NFL scouting is how Lance was so praised and Purdy was rated so low. The 2 QBs are proving NFL scouting is so bad.
Usually a quarterback that plays a bunch of years in college don’t get drafted high. Teams who are drafting a quarterback high are going to take a chance. They’re taking some hotshot kid and praying he can figure out the game and his talent will shine. They see someone playing 4 years in college they know exactly what they’re going to get and if it’s just good then they don’t care
I think it goes for all sports in general. "Scouts" of every league choke on their calls yearly. Baseball is the worst of them all though
Michael Lombardi was out of line. Fortunately the Lance family seems very respectful and decent people. Had that been anybody else, I could see a family member punch Lombardi in the mouth. Lombardi should do the right thing and apologize because that's crossing over the line.
i get people mad all the time because I say the truth they don't want to hear
I live near NDSU and I'm really pulling for the kid(Trey). I would love to see a QB from NDSU do well in the NFL. Of course, Wentz is from there also. Would love for them both do end up doing well, eventually.
Wentz is done. And I think Lance has a steep mountain to claim. Very steep. Talk about getting out of the frying pan and into the fire. The Niners screwed him over in more ways than one. I am a HUGE Niners fan, but I absolutely hate them for what they did to Lance. I still can't believe what they did on that Draft Day 1 in 2023. I was absolutely shocked 2 years ago. With all due respect to Lance, he was a 4th round pick at best, maybe even the 5th round. To give up THAT MUCH for him, 3 first round picks and 1 second rounder made no sense. If you give up that much for a QB he better be next Joe Montana/Steve Young, ready to hit the ground running right away. Lynch and Shanahan basically mortgaged the future of franchise on this pick. That's too much pressure to put on a guy who played just 12 games, I believe, in a Division II school, granted a perennial champion. I still can't understand what he showed in those 12 games to make them fall head over heels for him. To make things worse, they didn't trade Jimmy G and made him a starter in '21 over Lance! Ridiculous. Then Lance got injured in the 2nd game of '22 season and after Purdy's emergence it was clear that Lance will never be Niners starter ever again. And to make this even worse, they traded him to Dallas which has to deal with Dak situation, and no one knows how that version of Dallas soap opera will play out. To make long story short, Lance is screwed. But I wish him well, hope he'll find a way out of this mess cause none of it is his fault.
You can trade up for a quarterback who turns out to be a bust. I'm not gonna be mad about that. But during a super bowl window, with a player that was absolutely a HORRIBLE scheme fit, it's a historically bad draft pick. A big quarterback with as much talent as he has is someone you want with the ball in his hands making plays. The 49ers want to get the ball out of the QB's hands so other guys can make plays. I wonder if those extra first round picks they used to get him to finally get over the hump. Lynch and Shanahan blew it.
100% yes. If Kyle doesn't win a superbowl in this window it will be because of that trade. Micah Parsons was drafted at 12 - the 9ers original spot before trading up. Historic mistake indeed...
That window is CLOSED!!
I see no lies here. They should’ve kept their pick and drafted fields, Rashawn slater or Micah parsons
@@seandouglas6769 Or maybe...Trey Lance.
Only if we knew then what we know now.
Not enough is being said about CMC and the damage he will create for defenses!
He’s a running back Carolina didn’t win with him. They could put anybody back there.
Shhhhh!!! Don't blow his cover lol. He's the mvp for sure.
CMC is glass and will get hurt by WK6
49er fan here. Trey Lance fans are Jimmy G haters. It's not about football. They hated Jimmy even when he was winning. It's about certain psychological issues they had with Jimmy's looks. It's all very weird and sad. Ignore them.
they didn't like Jimmy G because he was a turnover machine and was a playoff choker. jimmy proved he couldn't be trusted in the post-season. that's why they traded 3 first round picks to replace him. but for whatever reason the 49ers could never break free of that toxic relationship until brock purdy pulled a jimmy g and want 7 straight games
I don’t know that that’s true. Most of us wanted Jimmy G to succeed and saw success, want Lance to pan out and use his potential fully, and wanted Purdy to keep that 8 win run going.
@penoyer79 I think Jimmy G has been scapegoated by fans for team failures.
Jimmy G took you guys to a Super Bowl and everyone complains about that miss in the endzone late in rhe game but conveniently forget he gave his team a 10 point lead going into the 4th. He also gave his team a 10 point lead against the Rams in the 4th quarter but the Team blew it!
Jimmy G deserves way more respect than he received from Niners fans. You win as a team and lose as a team.
@@chrisnivo dude scored 0 points in 4th quarter vs the chiefs in SB. then he scored 0 points in the 4th QTR of the NFC CG vs the rams. he's not a QB you want in the post-season. and he has a tendancy to meltdown in high pressure situations
I didn’t like Jimmy because he was hurt every single year of his career but 1. You can’t win with a hurt qb. Now the tradition keeps going as lance and purdy got hurt too
The only saving grace for Trey is that as a first round pick, at least he did get himself a bag! 💰
jim harbaugh would have gotten the most out of lance. he never would have pussied out and resigned Jimmy g 5 minutes after drafting lance that's for damn sure.
@@penoyer79
Tell us, would the niners have gone to the NFC championship without Jimmy g? Lance sucks
Lance already made more (30+ million) for playing 3-4 mediocre games than Joe Montana’s whole career (26 million)
They not gonna care in Thailand. He sucks at football though. An entire state will curse the existence of the Lances
@@skitown11they only got to the playoffs because of Lance. If he would of lost against Houston they would of been out
All I'm saying is Purdy was the last pick in the draft and came in and won 12 straight games and took them to the NFC championship game and possibly a super bowl if he hadn't gotten hurt smh.
I dont think Trey would have done nearly as well being brutally honest. You literally couldn't do better then Purdy did so far
He actually won 8
truly a special talent to have won 12 games while playing 8
@@divinecomedy7311Meanwhile Trey has 1 win going into 3rd year where he will be lucky to be the 3rd string QB after suffering 3rd injury last year.
@@DS94everXevagain, when you got a dude who can win 12 games while playing in 8 then that’s enough said.
@@theslickrips5904 When you aren't intelligent enough to recognize a typo that says a lot to others.
As a person I’m hoping Trey finds success, he seems like a great guy, but when you’re too anxious to make open throws what else are the 49ers supposed to do?
Let him play more to shake off the nerves 😂 it’s funny how people don’t even understand there own species wow
@@MattGraves-dc4yr It's not just "shake off the nerves," he's misreading basic coverages, throwing easy passes late & behind, and taking the check down with guys open down field, and getting hurt because he won't slide when he runs; and it's his 3rd year in the league, he's not a rookie. Hopefully it clicks for him, but he's going to be a backup for some time.
Lance was over-hyped and over drafted. He only played in 19 D1-AA games in college. He's now started 21 games total since coming out of high school 5 years ago. There is no way Lance is anywhere near Purdy.
who knows what lance would be if he was allowed to play without having 50% of his camp reps vultured by other QBs, and allowed to start more than 1 game at a time. obviously he's had some injury issues. but the 49ers have had opportunties to let him go out there and figure it out and they pussied out everytime which in turn has turned the locker room and the fans against him. if the 49ers coaching staff doesn'tbelieve in his why should they?
I trust the local media more than the national media when it comes to QB competitions.
Right
I watched Trey Lance play the most unbelievably amazing season of college football that I've ever witnessed a QB play and have been so excited to watch him play in the NFL. It's really frustrating to see him denied that opportunity.
Just real bad luck for him. No one expected Purdy to do what he’s done. Hopefully he can get a shot with a different team. Kids still young and has a chance to be great
“Such is life.” ❤️ 🐶
He'll probably play this year. Our qb gets hurt and misses games every year, looking at the o-line and understanding Kyle's lack of interest in protecting qb it'll most likely happen again.
@@MrDdottdot most likely. I think we would put Darnold in as QB2 if that happens. No dig at Lance I just feel Darnold plays a similar game to Purdy. Wouldn’t have to change much up
@@kristobin8451and then Sam will get hurt just like Brock. With how Kyle protects his qbs lmao. It’s only a matter of time before trey turns into Brock at the end of the year. BOOK IT
Why are Michael Lombardi comments NOT deemed as TOTALLY offensive to Trey Lance and family. That’s disgusting! And he should be CALLED OUT for it. What gives him the right to degrade Trey Lance’s Mother?
Because people like you can't see a _rhetorical metaphor_ if it landed in your lap.
Would your rather Lombardi just say "since the moment he was born he lacked total quarterbacking instincts"?
@@daneberhardt8658Dede had barely played.
It was dumb to draft a QB so high when he lacked playing experience, and double dumb to then not let him play.
How did he degrade trey's mom exactly? He didn't say a harsh word against her. I swear you trey baes just make up reasons to be mad. Lol
Seems more and more you Treybois are the real racists, lol. That or youre totally gay and love him. It sure isn't about football anymore. This Trey saga has proven you dumb about football and a total racist, lolol. Or the other thing.
You’re probably offended by everything
Lance shouldn’t be getting criticized because he’s only started 4 games in the NFL. That’s nothing!
That's the problem. He barely played in college.
He is in his third year and plays worse than Alex Smiths rookie year.
Brock Purdy is the real deal.
Grant Cohn was making up excuses for Lance
Lance only started 2 games last yr, & one doesn’t even count bc it was in a monsoon, & the other he got hurt. It’s ridiculous. He has the most upside of all of the SF QBs. He should start. He needs to actually play to improve.
What upside? He’s a slow runner and a terrible passer. Upside doesn’t win games but please explain to me what Trey has ever accomplished to be simply handed the starting job.
Lancexcuses.
Fields played well enough to WIN in the same monsoon.
@ClutchGene just to play devils advocate
Actually, Fields played just a bad but no one ever want to hear that.
@@justified004 Fields had one of the worst rosters in the league and STILL outplayed Lance.
I’m not a JF fan but sheesh, he made Lance look like a lost puppy who saw rain for the first time.
@@ClutchGene better roster? No CMC yet, Mitchell got injured, no Kittle that game, and an out of shape Deebo to start the year but keep listening to the national media. Also, our stellar defense got outplayed by Fielda in the rain. You say the Bears suck, but we couldn't stop them. You can't have it both ways.
Do they expect every QB to be great? Sometimes a QB stinks, no matter how high he was drafted, it’s not a crime to call a spade a spade
Trey will be an amazing CFL quarterback
He’s better in life than you will ever be.
@@ryanm9628 Bro calm down 😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@ryanm9628You don’t stick up for a grown man .
It's well deserved to be critical of him and it's the 49ers fault. If they didn't trade 3 number 1 picks to get him no one would talk about him. Just goes to show how stupid of a move that was.
If it wasn't for Purdy up till this point it might already be the worst draft in History. The scariest part is there are still Niner fans with there heads up there arses. Raida fans werent this stupid about Jamucus Russel.
thank you rich and show. thats why i love your show
How ya gonna talk about his mama
sad this is all we will be hearing and dealing with as 9er fan 😪
This is weird. NFL media’s favourite party trick is to call out draft busts. Lance has many telltale signs of being a bust. Trading three first round picks to move up and pick Lance, over McCorkle, makes it that much richer as a story. It’s all pretty standard stuff …
If Shanahan drafted Mahomes, he would have buried him behind Jimmy G and would have done the same thing he is doing with Trey. Kyle is absolutely terrible.
shanahan never even scouted pat mahomes because he was too busy dreaming of his bff kirk cousins
Ok, yeah… because Trey Lance and Mahomes are so similar 😂 and Kyle is soooo terrible that we made the NFC championship last year and could’ve won if our backup QB’s (Trey) weren’t made of glass and covered for Purdy. Do you even watch football or just post what your wife says??
Andy Reid kept Mahomes behind Alex Smith when he drafted him. Just so happens that mahomes was ready by year 2 and trey lance was injured year 2
@@penoyer79actually, John Lynch actually thought about taking Mahomes back in 2017, but… he went defense and took Solomon Thomas instead.
As a Niners, I predict injuries at the QB spot and injuries in general will need to be addressed towards management and coaching schemes.
Rich was telling us he was possibly a generational talent when the 49ers moved up to draft him. I watched his college tape and went, Huh? I saw a guy that looked like a man playing against H.S. talent who even against that talent didn't scream elite QB talent that could transition to the NFL as a starter and SB QB. I totally did not get the Trey hype train.
People are talking about Purdy like an 8 year Vet not an 8 game Rookie. He’s played well but he still is going into his second NFL season coming off a major injury. Steelers Defense will be very tough for him.
Make us HAVE to start you Trey. Because you’re so good.
Since you wanna embody the team, how about you not try drafting a project QB with a high pick when you have a high level QB under center? Everything about that move was wrong.
Says what? The handful of layups he’s completed that even a high school QB could make? Or how about the non-existent mobility you zombies keep groaning about? Until there’s actual proof to back you gum flapping, how about you stop making it worse for the kid you irrelevant cultist.

Cha-ching $$@@mitch_the_-itch
Sorry bit you have to give Lance same chance with the new offense that Purdy had at the end of the year. And then we can decide. Purdy had McCaffery Lance ddnt
Darnold could end up starting before we know….
He needs Rep, he's getting no shot with the 49ers
He could have spent more time in College developing. He left with three years of eligibility.
Kyle and lynch is to blame for drafting a raw qb for 3 1st round picks not trey he did not choose were he wanted to be drafted
But he did decide to go into the NFL with 3 years of College eligibility left.
Lance is in the worst spot: unproven, unplayed, unlucky (the Purdy miracle), unloved, relegated to QB3 after being 1st rounder ? This 49ers episode has turned into a nightmare for him. He needs a fresh, less glamorous start, somewhere else. I hope he requests a trade soon, or that some huge bust opens up an oportunity for him.
I hated this deal from the minute the 49ers made it. Three first-round picks for a very raw talent. But, in fairness, Lance just hasn't had to opportunity to develop under fire and he may never get it now as the 49ers are looking to win now.
Kyle is a QB Killer just like his daddy Mike. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
Purdy will absolutely be benched if he struggles imo. Also believe it will be in favor of Darnold if it comes to fruition.
He should've stayed in school one more year
Transfer to a big school.
Niners fans, please correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Lynch the one who wanted Lance? I remember hearing reports of KS & Lynch having a disagreement about which QB should be taken in that specific draft.
If the Niners are just one Elite QB away from a Super Bowl, I would trade Purdy, Lance, and Darnold plus 3 first round picks for either Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hurts or Justin Herbert.
To have all three of those QB's is the best "QB field" in the league.
IMO
best ability is availability. remember an injury is what gave us t.brady. and we see how that turned out.
Tom Brady could read a Defensive. Trey Lance gets fooled by vanilla Raida defenses in preseason, lol.
He looked very poor in his first preseason, the tape doesn't lie. He has a lot of improvement to do and it's evident why Purdy will start (and why he'll likely be the 3rd string).
They just keep attacking the kid huh?
The game still seems too fast for Lance. Linebackers in the NFL are as fast as the receivers he had in college.
lets be honest though try lance doesnt have it, it doesnt matter if you only have a couple of starts, look how far purdy took his shot, sure there was no other choice with the injuries but with how purdy played it showed there was something about him.
I would fully put Rich's show in the camp that has been fair to Trey Lance, I would also put Rich's show in the camp of a group of people who are only listening to what the 49ers head coach is saying publicly about Brock Purdy and not the reports of what he is actually doing in camp which is averaging 2 picks a day while not being able to throw the ball much more than 20-25 yards and not looking at all like the guy he did last year. As a lifelong 49ers fan I am willing to say if Lance sucks that he sucks, but camp is showing this is the perfect opportunity to give him the reps and not throw Purdy to the wolves after a major injury and instead we have a coach and GM who would rather let it ride and I would not be surprised in the slightest if the 49ers crash and burn this year because of not giving the healthy guy reps while pushing a guy that doesn't seem ready to come back but is doing so to not lose his chance.
Jamarcus Russell also received harsh criticism.
Being someone from the area, state(Minnesota) and local region of NDSU its absolutely a bummer seeing these QBs not being successful in the NFL. I feel the potential is there the understandable issue is this is a "what have you done for me lately type league"!!
Rich out here acting innocent like he wasn't saying Brandon Allen was going to make the team over him LOL. TYPICAL WOLVERINE
And he's right.
Trey won't make the 53-man roster.
In Chicago it really only rained the last 7 minutes of the game in the fourth quarter. I'm tired of you guys saying oh monsoon monsoon
Injury aside, Lance's problem is simply being drafted 3rd in a big trade up by a team who were a QB away from winning it all. Were it not for the 9ers interest when would he have gone baring in mind Fields went 11th and Jones 15th? End of the 1st or closer to Trask/Mills in the 2nd, arguably where he should be? Drafted right = pressure off.
Purdy might sit out week one against the Steelers just to keep the hype up surrounding him. He might mysteriously get hurt in practice a week prior to game 1. Protect his numbers and resume like they did Jimmy then trade him. Jimmy didn't throw in that icy game against the Packers either. Maybe Purdy won't be able to throw the ball against the Steelers either. Maybe Kyle will runTrey up the middle that game too.. Coach Jacka**... All hype and ain't doing nothing but loosing since he's been there. Sam Darnell!!? He was suppose to be better then Cam. What happened over there in Carolina?
Malik Cunningham looked light years ahead of Lance despite taking WR reps in camp under Belichick. Tired of the excuses for Lance.
If Brock Purdy doesn't play well, and doesn't play well consistently, does Trey Lance get a chance to play? At what point does the 49er's either give him a chance or trade him? Lance has a 9 and 10 million cap hit this year and next year...
How stupid are the people in charge of the Niners when they give up 3 first round and a third for a guy nobody was looking at?
I don't like the monsoon defense for Lance. Fields was in the same draft and had to play in the same conditions against the #1 Niners defense. I also think if Lance isn't playing by the trade deadline he needs to be traded to a place where he is going to get reps. Not playing 4 years straight is not helping him. Maybe he can go to the Broncos and be used like Taysum Hill until he has a chance to build up a QB resume.
It’s more excises for him
I hate the what if questions . They’re so irrelevant.
What happened to Purdy?
They're gonna play the QB that gives them the best chance to win right now,and it isn't Lance.
The NFL is a win now league. The 49ers have a SB roster with many of their prime players looking over the hill. Last year was doomed if we didnt have a QB ready. Lance got hurt because Shanahan didnt trust him to throw the ball so he ran him and got him hurt. You cannot compete and develop at the same time in any professional league. Especially the NFL at the THE most important position in sports. Yes it is a tough position to be in but to play an inexperienced player because we need to what hes got, then theres no purpose in mini-camp, practice, and pre-season. Trey will play if he continues to improve and develop. He might even start its a long season. Also, 1rd draft picks usually last a minute in the league especially the ones drafted to a bad team with potential and upside.
2nd best team in the division is still respectable.
The only people who don’t like the coach, wish that he coached their teams
Purdy will get hurt, this the the San Francisco 49ers we’re talking about.
The sequence about Purdy "taking care of the football" is quite amusing given the fact that he has thrown about 2 interceptions per 15 attempts in 49ers camp. Please update your information, before spitting out something like this .True, Purdy did not throw many ints in his 8 games last year, but it remains to be seen,if he can keep that up.
That's it ! Trey didn't have the chance to play football for the last 3 years and half so I don't agree with the general opinion about him. He needs to play football !
Just my 2cent, The pick I thought they were going to pick, and should've been Justin Fields... Game over ..
Michael Lombardis mom lifted him from crib and there wasn't a lick of NFL GM instinct in him...
No arrogance is not addressing thr offense line because you think your system is that great that you don't need to have a great oline. Yet you can't keep any of your qbs healthy
The Bears would start the guy drafted after Lance, in Fields, against the Steelers. Why couldn’t the Niners start who they believed to be a better QB, against the Steelers?
Honest question.. why does anyone care what Michael Lombardi thinks?
Anyone of thos QB's has the POTENTIAL to be traded for a 3rd to 4th round pick next year as well
Bring back Cody Pickett.
Shanahan cost 2 different teams guaranteed wins in the superbowl
Nothing is guaranteed
Brock Purdy is just cooper rush. An ok qb being carried by a defense and run game
To qoute patrick mahomes "we got tape " as far as brock purdy goes .
Shanahan didn't draft Lance. It's been evident he's not his type of qb
Waitaminute Sam looked way more comfortable 😂. Trey started getting comfortable. The whole team played like crap .
Blake bortles been to a championship game before Dak and the cowboys.
peyton manning 1st 5 starts: 4td 12ints 55.8 QBR
trey lance 1st 5 starts: 6td 4ints 84.5 QBR
One played 48 games in the SEC one played 12 games in D1AA.. RELAX
Knowing how well Shanahan protects his QBs, they will probably need all 3 of them at some point this year. 😅
I will never understand how the national media has fallen so in love with Brock Purdy. I get the part about him being the ultimate underdog. They're all ready to put him in Canton. I don't know if he's a starter in this league, YET. Not to mention he just had a serious injury that may not allow him to return to his previous form, whatever that was. Let's just slow down and see what BOTH of those kids are capable of, before we jump to conclusions.
How many times do you need to see over hyped qb's fail, before you learn to slow down with the assessments? There's a reason why sometimes qb's look decent their first year but then never show much after that. Mostly because rookies aren't asked to do much. Put the full playbook in their hands, let the defensive coordinators of the league study them a little and suddenly you see the truth.
We already saw an overhyped 49ers QB fail. His name is Trey Lance.
Shanahan bought the hype hook, line and sinker. He should’ve followed his gut instead of listen to a bunch of hype from the media.
