“The draft is such a crapshoot” they could have done nothing and had Micah Parsons with their original pick . That draft was stacked. A huge miss
Imagine Parsons on that line..💀
Shanahan misses a LOT, but for some reason he still has great teams.
He passed on Mahomes 🥹
@@eduardovelazquez7321 And Brady.
Yeah I totally agree. Rich is either being nice or oblivious to the situation. That draft was very stacked and Parsons on this team would have been nasty. Hell they could have gotten Jamarr Chase at 3 after the trade.
I’d love to see Trey in Minnesota. Go home, sit behind Kirk Cousins and inherit an offense that’s just as talented. He just needs a new situation that believes in him and will develop him.
Exactly. Trey to Jefferson!
Jus because he was picked high doesn't mean he will ever be good. If he went to Minn no guarantee he wins the starting job either you acting like they would jus hand it to him
@@TheSweetswed There is a chance that he isn't any good, but sometimes a QB who was a high draft pick just needs to be in the right system to flourish like a Steve Young or Jim Plunkett.
Do we really believe Anthony Richardson is gonna play better this year than Trey Lance would? I would treat the 23 year old as rookie and tailor the offense to his strengths. Hey the most recent film on him, he was stud. Granted it was only a quarter, but it's there.
That's usually the case. The main reason guys get given up on is a bad attitude or lack of work ethic. Thats not the problem.@@farakhhanif
Absolutely for his draft position he will be labeled a bust, hopefully for his own sake he can make something out of his career
Trey is a great person. Hope his life goes great, football or not.
@@jimandersen3003 He’s got millions and millions now.. he will. Lol
He hasn’t had the opportunity
@@xavieonedavis1318 He did. He got hurt and never had another one. Life ain’t fair.
@@whiskey2392 he was a 3rd overall pick with 4 starts he hasn’t been given a chance
a 3rd string qb with 34million guaranteed over 4yrs... well played lance😊
Yeah, he won't be homeless. ;)
Straight outta the Blue Mountain State playbook
🤣@@joeking433
LOL, he’s not going to be QB3 for long. What an inane take.
@@Jschmuck8987he's still on a rookie contract whether 9ers like it or not, benefits of being drafted in the first round
Who could have possibly guessed that it might not be a good idea to trade a bunch of first round picks to draft a guy who played less than 20 games in college against a bunch of future Chuck E Cheese managers?
Zach Wilson?
@@melofinessedid a bunch of picks get traded for Wilson?
Those picks didn't turn out to be much of anything. 2 of those picks went to the Dolphins and Lions lol Also- Jimmy was there still as Qb1 when Trey was drafted.
@@PickyapoisonJaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill are on the team because of that trade up lol
His team invested 3 first round picks in him and determined that Sam Darnold was a better option at backup. That is the definition of bust.
Darnold isn't better. Kyle picky. If Brock injured season over. Can't trust Darnold
@@cgruthless49erstalk58 The coaches who traded everything for Lance and have every incentive to make it work picked Darnold over him. They think Darnold is better and quite honestly he is. Lance is an incredibly raw rookie who has hardly played QB at any level. He hardly played in college or high school.
@Colt-bd2mv it's a case of darnold fitting the system better. That doesn't mean Trey is a bust. He needs a good run of games before you can label him that. I think lance could flourish in a more vertical offense
This same organization thought they were better off with Jimmy G than Tom Brady. They also thought Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes wasn't worth scouting. Its about Kyle not wanting to change his system for anyone. They took the chance on Lance then once Brock found success they moved on from Trey and signed Darnold so he doesn't have to change his system. He turned down Tom freaking Brady for his system
@@ahjrome This is what has made Belichick so good. He was always able to grab guys like a Kyle Van Noy or Dion Lewis or an old Corey Dillon and was able to maximize their skill sets instead of molding them into what he WANTS them to be. They use totally different game plans depending on who they are facing and sometimes even will sit very good players in favor of someone better suited for a specific game plan.
Lynch's interview this morning said a lot. No accommodation was made for Lance's strengths and weaknesses this year and at the end of camp he wound up as their third best option in Shanahan;s preferred scheme.
I could label John Lynch gm as a bust. The guy would be fired with any good owner. I wish Joe Lacob owned the team. I know John Lynch would be working at Fox right now
@@user-cx7kb4yk3c Agreed. Nepotism got him and shanahan Hired. They are NEVER going out do Mike Shanahan in post season success. The idiots on RUclips don't realize that Trey didn't draft himself. THOSE TWO FAILURES THAT I MENTIONED DID!!!!
Niners fans be taking nfc championship games for granted it seems
@@BoondockGoreonly the dumb ones. 31 teams fail to win the SB every year; making it to the conference championship should also be important because of that fact
Lynch tenure as gm has said a lot. And that’s he shouldn’t be a nfl general manager
Many fail to realize that this not about Lance. It's about niners trading 3 first found pick for an extreme experiment. Fans are pissed about that.
Darnold is an excellent backup and Purdy throws a pretty ball. They dont need Lance
It’s WAY to early to call Lance a bust. HOWEVER, he’s not a first round draft pick, perhaps third. The 49ers got carried away with the hype. I look for Lance to have an emergence later in his career. If he hadn’t been drafted first, we wouldn’t be breathing life into this tired story.
It sucks being a 49er fan. Fans with bad ownership is the worst. I see it both ways. One way great with Joe lacob, other terrible with Jed York. Any good owner would’ve fired Lynch long time ago. He sucks at his job. The worst trade in nfl history. Him and Kyle somehow get another pass
He’s a bust. They wasted three first round picks and seven first rounders in six years. How anyone could possibly keep their job it’s just like my mind wants to blow up. It’s insane how nobody has lost job
They could’ve had Fields if they just took their blinders off.
It’s not too early….he’s a third overall pick and for that he’s a bust when the last pick in same draft is starting on that team
No it isn't
I'm a 49ers fan, and I'm pissed off. When he didn't start Week 1 two years ago, I had a feeling this was going to happen. If Purdy turns out not to be the guy, I want people fired.
Fellow Dodger/9er fan saying hi!
purdy has shown hes the guy compared to lance, experiencewise and performance wise
@@dougb2301 We'll see. While I do think Purdy has some talent, I also believe he took advantage of the fact that no one had seen him before and teams couldn't prepare for him. They got tape now. He won't be able to catch teams by surprise.
@@dodger1214Exactly! Purdy seems fragile! Will he be able to last a 17 game season if not then you always have Donald! Good luck 49er fans.
It was always Darnold. They signed him literally moment they could and laid him 3.5 million. I really don’t think Trey ever had a shot. But I think they were surprise by the mechanics improvement he made. He did do much better 2nd preseason game and I did expect rust in first action after 329 days.
If not for the big bucks, Lance would be gone. He looks like a Div 1AA star, in big boy pads
The NFL market spoke. Trey Lance is worth a 4th round pick. No more, no less.
The Niners being good doesnt excuse this being one of the worst trades in history because it absolutely is, they gave up Three first round picks and a Third for Trey 🤦
WE NEED AT LEAST 3 QBS ANYWAY, with how last season went.
JaMarcus Russell was a bust, Trey Lance is still a project.
At least, that's the difference as I see it.
John Lynch as a general manager is a bust. Seven wasted first round picks in six years. He’s a better politician than he is general manager. Any good owner and he would be working at Fox right now. Broadcasting games on fox
Plus JaMarcus got what, two seasons to suck. Baker is on his FOURTH team. Lance got four STARTS. 😂😂😂
My advice to Trey is stay in shape as if he is Q1 because there's always an opportunity ivy out there. Look at Purdy, he was Q3 and look what happened!
Right, what happens when Purdy is re injured and Sam plays his usual crappy game,
1. Vikings - Can sit behind Cousins for a year, and then maybe take over.
2. Bills - Can backup Josh Allen. Has a similar playstyle, current back-ups don't.
3. Falcons - Backup Ridder, can take over if he is pulled or injured
4. Bears - Backup Fields
Cant call em a bust yet, a bust is someone you fails by not playing well enough, Trey ain't played in order to see if he is a bust or not. He has had some bad luck
Hes played in practice, preseason, & a few games in regular season
@pauliej345 lol. You cannot be serious right now.
Practice and preseason count as playing in games now?
Hope not cause based on that logic Brock has thrown like 20+ INT in past 2 seasons.
His live game action is very limited. They don't put ya in bust category after 4nor 5 games and one of which being monsoon season.
He has had bad luck with stupid injuries and one serious injury. He needs to stay healthy and actually play a series of games in a row. If he fails that then he could be a bust.
Some folks just amaze me with the simplest of thinking
@@xezqeznunya6671They will put ya in the bust category if you never play because you cant beat out the other QBs in PRACTICE on your team and remain a #2 or # 3 QB after being drafted 3rd overall. Lmao its the simplest of the thinking. Currently hes a bust until he proves otherwise because of his draft position
@@pauliej345 Cept he was named the STARTER last season. Lost it due to injury
Now u saying every QB is a bust less they prove otherwise?
Do you even football?
Peyton Manning was a bust? So many QBs and others stuck it up the first season or 2 they played and was not called a bust. Maybe in the simple world ya live in but here with the people living in reality he has yet to fit in the bust category
@@xezqeznunya6671He was named the starter by default. They just had drafted Purdy with the last pick and werent assuming he was going to be what he was. They were going to play the guy they drafted #3 much like Colts with Anthony Richardson this year. Hes in no way ready to start but what they gonna do play Minshew. Of course there gonna play the #3 pick in the draft.
How did so many get it wrong with Lance? Not just the 9ers, but all the nabobs who played up Lance before the draft. Clearly so many got this guy wrong.
Trey to the Giants being coached by Brian Daboll seems like a better fit. But Idk if Daniel Jones is secure enough in his standing to create that sort of media frenzy in NYC around Trey as the longterm answer when you're trying to prop up Daniel Jones as the franchise guy. Could also have Trey behind Josh Allen in Buffalo, but Idk if Ken Dorsey would have developed Josh the way Daboll did. Regardless, the Josh Allen blueprint for Trey seems like what he needs more so than the Shanahan offense.
😂😂 like they would upset the QB room for a Lance
@@TheSweetswedI mean based on what he's shown so far, you're right. Based on the fact that he barely got to play in college and does have raw talents...I don't think he's a joke. And he does have a good personality and work ethic. I think everyone in SF loves him as a guy...he just hasn't put it together.
In an ideal world, Trey would be able to go back to college and play for a D1 program for 2-3 years and then return to the NFL. But alas, it doesn't work that way.
Ya he might need to go to the XFL or some shi or just hope they can trade him @@jvandyck87
not happening
this was one of the most well-rounded football segments I've ever heard. history + context + analysis + cross-references to other experts - loved it 🎉
Plus Mr. Irrelevant turned gold. Lottery wins bailout all.
It’s a horrible miss by the front office..it could have been different if Trey lance didn’t break his ankle last year or break his finger, but they could of gotten so much talent, Patrick surtain, Micah parsons, etc. Injuries have definitely played a huge role in this
If this was the Raiders or Browns the tone of the conversation would be VERY different
Rich. I appreciate your optimistic approach. I'm very similar. I think it's a great leadership trait, because it signals the idea that better days are ahead if you believe in process.
Trey is a great human, #1. But #2, is he works his tail off. He's improved his bouncy drop back. He's improved his uncatchable fastball. His accuracy is improving. If he continues to respect the process, he'll break through.
You label somebody a BUST when its through all faults of their own that theyre not progressing or succeeding. Thats not Trey!
Too soon? 3rd overall pick who cant even win the backup job and you’re asking if its too soon??
I’d like to see him get some real game time before he’s labeled a true bust. But, the sample size we do have says he might be a bust.
You can’t be a bust in 4 games josh Allen’s first 3 career games were bad but look at what he turned into
Man rich really feels for this kid
Everyone labeled Mitch Trubiski a bust after year 3. And he made the pro bowl. Lance can’t beat Darnold for a backup spot
It's a disaster on the Niners' front. To trade three first round picks for a guy who starts 4 games total is ridiculous. The Niners have clearly given up on him and that's just huge draft capital wasted. And the team has been one of the top contenders regardless so how well would they have done if they had been able to use those picks on people who actually played. Now maybe Lance goes somewhere else and does well and then he's not really a bust but that just makes it more of a screw up for the Niners because then they had the guy but didn't recognize it and let him go. Now if Lance does suck, then he's a huge bust, in discussion for biggest of all time just because of how much he cost his team. But regardless this is one of the worst draft botches in sports history.
Those picks are really nothing to spend it does not hurt cap
@@javarzshinall93963 1st round picks are nothing 😂😂😂😂
Diasaster is a huge stretch. In the NFC championship last year and among the favorites to get there again this year.
Was it a bad trade for us. Sure. As of now it didn’t work out. Disaster would be if the team sucked as a result of losing those picks. They clearly don’t miss those picks
@@DillaKid3 Lame excuse. They likely would’ve made and or won the superbowl with those picks used on star players.
Bad take, bad replies
Lynch and Shanahan seem to know what they are doing to win games so more power to them. If they want to have 4 QB's on their roster, I can't criticize that.
The problem is 49ers didn’t use him like they used every qb. They used him as a running back that can throw and that’s never his game. So of course he got injured but that’s on Shannahan.
We all thought Trey was going to the best possible situation for him. Turned out to be the worst for him.
It’s Kyle’s system or the highway
He's the head coach and that's how it should be.
It is too soon. But right now "bust" feels just right, nonetheless.
Could Trey Lance be the Vince Evans, longtime back up quarterback for the Raiders, for San Fransisco?
If not for the emergence of Brock Purdy, there may have ben a very good chance of Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch being in the hot seat right now, with the way things have played out with Trey Lance. They traded three consecutive 1st rd picks and a 3rd rd pick to move up and draft Trey Lance.
Definitely fire-able offense. Worse was passing on brady for Jimmy G. If they had picked waddle, parsons, even fields or Mac Jones, and they probably would've won a SB
Do the Niners take care of QBs?? It sure doesn’t seem like it. Jimmy, Kap and now Trey.
Why is Rich always on his knees for Lance? Never heard him cry this much for Rosen or other "busts" that had bad luck or bad situations. He's caping for this guy like he is his dad.
TWO 3rd overall draft picks backing up "Mr. Irrelevant" ... That's crazy
Too early to call someone a "bust". A good comparison would be Steve McNair (also a third overall pick), and it took McNair 4 or 5 seasons to polish his passing skills enough to be a truly effective quarterback. Either way, I hope the Niners figure out their quarterback situation. I'm not a fan of the team, but they have such a great roster of versatile, unselfish team players, it would be a waste if they never won a Super Bowl...
If this 49ers team doesn't get to a SB (let alone win one or many) due to all the players they could have drafted if they just stayed put, then this trade/pick will go down as the worst disaster in the history of sports.
Rich just be capping 😂 thats definitely going down as the worst trade in history. 3 first round picks.
The good thing I don’t have to hear annoying trey fan boys anymore
For how high he was picked its def a Miss. Maybe he ends up being alright but ya so far he clearly hasn't shown enough
This would have been a disaster at pick 22. This was pick 3 x 3 holy conoli
Just because the trade didn't tear the franchise apart the last two seasons doesn't mean it's not one of the worst trades in NFL history. These are two separate things. Also, we don't know that the trade won't cause more ramifications, especially since their first round pick this year was traded for him. If Purdy or Darnold don't work out this year and we have to move on from players like Kittle, Juice, Aiyuk, Armstead, etc. because of cost and then Trent Williams retires, don't you think that we would've liked those picks?
The 49ers have been a QB away for a while yet nobody gives them any push back…it’s funnt
@@CalobAdamsInfamous913 why would they, Kyle is a genius....except when it comes to the most important position in sports lol
I agree with your first sentence. The thing is, we basically traded a 1st and two 2nds. We swapped 12 for 3 the draft year, and our pick from this draft that MIA used was at 29. Probably around the same place or hopefully later in the next draft for the final pick. Still a lot for sure, but those aren’t blue chip picks exactly. We missed at 14 one year with Kinlaw, or the year we drafted Thomas at 3, it happens. Given how extremely good they are at drafting later rounds, I don’t really believe that this trade cripples them at all in the future. Losing everyone like you suggested would be catastrophic of course, but I don’t see that happening at all. Aiyuk leaving and or Williams retiring seem like the only real possibilities though. Williams would be much more difficult to replace obviously
@@Fernando_616 I'm not so sure. We have many high paid players, plus will have to pay Aiyuk, Bosa, potentially Hufanga and have high paid players in Williams, Kittle, Warner, Juice, Deebo, CMC, Ward, Greenlaw, and Armstead. Then if one of these QBs work out you have to pay them and that takes a decent chunk. We'll see what happens there. As for the draft, I'd rather have a decent RT, better depth at DT, and a better backup TE, all things that could be reasonably drafted in that late first round area. You don't just throw away draft picks no matter where they are. There's a reason they're so valuable
Yeah, just think how good the Niners would have been if they wouldn't have drafted so badly!
Sam Darnold signing sealed Lance's fate.
It’s not too early… bust
It’s been 4 years and he barely plays. Can’t even win the backup job as a top 3 pick. That’s a bust.
As a Pats fan, I’d love to see Trey Lance in NE is Mac has a bad season
You could also say the Covid year was the best year for him. Played in just one mediocre game to show off what he had and teams had to go off his limited experience to see wha the could become
He’s not a bust. He needs a full season period. After that then we can decide
He’s not a Bust! Brock Purdy was not in the equation and that has hurt Lance. Brock is a better QB who had over 40 career starts in college compared to 10-12 by Lance. Lance is a victim of the success of a guy who wasn’t supposed to be this good. Lance needs to be traded to a team where he can better develop.
Brock is not a better QB lmfaoooooo
@@AniSageso Lance is better?what you see in their practices? Fill us in man..love to hear it
@@AniSageexcept he is, otherwise lance would be starting
@@howdareyouexist lazy analysis. Shanahan feels like Purdy fits his scheme better than Lance which is why Purdy is starting. that does not make Purdy a better QB than Lance. anybody with two functioning eyeballs and a brain can see that Lance has far more talent than Purdy, more athleticism than Purdy, and a bigger arm than Purdy. he’s cleaned up his mechanics a lot since coming into the league and whatever team ends up trading for him is getting a good QB that still hasn’t realized his potential.
Lance chose to enter the NFL with as few college games under his belt. San Francisco chose him despite all the history that says QBs with little game experience don't work. The pick didn't work out. When a first round pick does not work out, they are labelled busts. The fact that the 49ers recovered from it last year with Brock Purdy doesn't change that. Heck, the Pistons won an NBA title after taking Darko over Melo and Wade. Darko is still a bust. The Warriors drafted James Wiseman over LaMelo and Haliburton. They won the title. The shipped Wiseman off to Detroit for an injured Gary Payton II. He didn't work out. He was a bust. That is how the label works.
Can't call any player a bust after 4 regular season starts. No one but Nathan Peterman is that bad. 😂😂😂
One of the biggest busts in the history of the Universe
Lance 4 starts, one team ' he's a bust'
Darnold 55 starts, three teams 'he ain't a bust, he's a second stringer'
Please stop with the "covid season"; everyone had to deal with it. I hope thing's work out for him.
*Bust*
Trey couldn’t beat a guy who sees ghosts. 👻
Who drafted him? They're terrible too!!!!
@@aroperdope Trey was supposed to be good.
@@davidlandrum that's what the coaching staff and front office are telling Jed York. At some point, they're going to run out of excuses, or ownership is going to get tired of hearing the same ones
“I can’t see at all”
~Trey lance
@@davidlandrumyea his projection is a 3-4 year project player that needed reps and why would a win now team draft a player like that
Doing something 300 times isn't enough to learn especially at the highest level
I don’t think he’s a bust, he have never been drafted in the spot he was drafted.
What would the 49ers expect from a trade partner in terms of draft capital for Trey Lance? A fourth round pick that could improve to a first round given some incredible play by Trey? Very interesting situation for the 49ers.
Nail on the head
To the 49ers he's a bust. No way to argue that with all they spent and what they got in return. We'll see if he succeeds in the NFL. I personally hope he does.
Trey to Miami after Tua's concussion in week 6. Trey and MacDaniel reunited.
This is one of the biggest busts in history. Because they gave up 3 1st rounder picks. The only reason the coach and the GM still have their jobs is because they are still winning regardless of QB.
The 49ers already made there decision to go with Brock Purdy, at the start of the regular season. If Trey couldn't impress Kyle Shanahan in training camp or preseason, he wasn't getting his job back from Brock Purdy. There are rare opportunities for a guy that was picked last in the draft, to have a starting job in the NFL. Brock is going to everything is his power, to hold on to the starting job as long as he can.
Lance Won the Lottery does it matter beyond that he's well taken care off.
He ran the scam of a century. He shouldn’t even be in the nfl
How bout them backups!? Good luck in Dallas, young fella!
Try to trade him and you will know.
They went from Purdy, Garappolo, Lance to Purdy, Darnold. I dunno... seems like a bad move overall.
Lance has had as many starts as Paxton Lynch did. Their numbers are shockingly similar. Lynch was run out of the league, but people seem to be clinging to hope with Lance. Feels like a double standard.
Lynch and his white privilege 😂
But Alex Smith bum a55 got 8 years of futility, and then finally Harbaugh comes in and makes him serviceable. So let me get this, the white kid is allowed to play trash football for years but the Black kid is discarded like trash! He's racist, the white fan base is largely Prejudiced as well.
Can't say. We call this "a case of insufficient data".
I don't think he should be labeled a bust, he's not been given a decent amount of starting time. They just don't know if he can play or not. I hope he gets a chance and I hope he turns it around.
Reminds me of the Alec Baldwin scene in Glengarry-Glenross.... "Nice guy? I don't give a sh*t, good father? F*ck you, go home and play with your kids! You wanna work here, CLOSE!"
Steve Young is such a 49er Homer
Too early to call Trey a bust..but you can call the trade up a bust. The only ppl that trade made sense to was Lynch and shanny.
I chuckle thinking back to Rich cheering Trey from the mountain tops about how great he looked in college (against defenders that looked like they would have struggled to make my 6A varisty H.S. football team in Merritt Island Florida)...the bottom line is giving up three 1st round picks to move up to take him was a very bad decision...that is the only thing here that needs to be examined.
If SF can’t develop him no one can lol
Josh Rosen Media ppl have a 2 second memory
Rosen didn't cost 3 first round picks, and he also had multiple chances on multiple teams.
Just reading the title made me say out loud. YOU THINK!?
My advice as a Niners fan don't trade him.
I wish they draft Justin Field though. I don't really see other top 15 picks from 2021 draft class could help them get better than they were. sure they can draft Micah or maybe Surtain but their priority was QB. also doesn't help that Lance doesn't fit in with Shanahan scheme while Purdy fit in almost perfectly. Don't know if Lance is a draft bust yet but that was a big waste of draft picks.
4 games can't make someone a star nor a bust, it does make Shanahan and Lynch negligent and they should be fired
And likely to be out of the leagure after next year, regardless.
So if they had him on the block for a three months, saying he was on the block for two months, that's not accurate.
Why is no one talking about why they have so many injuries. It isnt bad luck its the play style. Ya sure they have a nice defense, but Kyle shannhan is a curse for Qbs and honestly if Purdy is a great QB he should want out of San Francisco ASAP. It wouldnt surprise me if all three end up injured this year
It's definitely not too early as of now.
I'd say it's way to soon he's so young. Hasn't even played consistently for a season. He's so far from a dumpster fire.
If trey lance is not a bust Dolly Parton is not one either.
The niners wanted to bet on him but he got injured. I mean there are stars on this team samuels n bosa kittle. Like u gonna let them age because he needs reps?
I think it's past that. I just wonder if any team is even going to want him for a backup? 90% of QB's in the draft fail. Oh well. Of the 2013 draft only 3 QB's drafted out of 13 total are still playing and they're fighting for backup positions. Of the 2016 draft all but one QB out of 16 drafted have either not been traded or cut and that was a QB drafted in the 4th round (Prescott). That's just the way it is in the NFL.
It comes down to this - SF traded to move up in the draft so they could draft a player who only played 2 years(including a partial year) at an FCS school whose last NFL QB was Carson Wentz. Let's be honest, Wentz has not entirely worked out. So making this move for a player that evidence suggests is likely to, at best, be LIKE Wentz, seems like a questionable move.
I feel like this could be a ravens or Patriots kinda player here, that or the Falcons....
Enough Trey Lance. Are there any other QBs around, well other than A. Rogers?
there was never a competition. Sam Darnold was signed to be "Purdy insurance" and that's what it is and that's what it should be.
I take Darnold over Lance all day every day and if things go down with Brock Purdy it wouldn't surprise me to see Darnold grow into a longterm option for us.
LOL ...49ers are NOT winning a SB with Purdy under center! I'd take Trey and his ceiling over Sam *I See Ghosts" Darnold!!
@@itzanopinionlol not Trey’s “ceiling” again. Since when do ceilings win games? Purdy is so much better than Trey bust it’s laughable. So is Darnold.
Darnold was there for Lance motivation.
It's too early to label Trey a 'Bust', but he is. It's hard to imagine a worse position to be in when it comes to development, team roster situation, and trade value.
The only bust in SF is Kyle Banahands for the way he has always handled QB's. He ruined RGIII's career, they let Jimmy G flounder during the offseason last year, and totally screwed up the Trey situation.
With their luck Purdy is gonna get hurt and then darnold becomes the guy
it's still way too soon to categorize him as a bust. He didn't get the opportunity to play for a longer period of time with the true 49ers team like Brock did. However the ship has sailed between Lance and the 49ers. They told him whether directly or indirectly in his face that he's not better than darnold which he definitely is. That's gotta hurt.
Darnold is way better
@@chilistyles5108 a guy who sees ghost in football is never better than anyone.
@@PeanutButterAndJellyBros years ago lol. Look at his play last season, it's ok though, Lance can keep the bench warm
