Singletary feels he’s ready for head coaching role

We know, eventually, Trey Lance will be the starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. He has to be. The team gave up too much to trade up and grab him with the No. 3 overall pick. Head coach Kyle Shanahan's future is dependent on Lance developing into a playmaker. That development, however, does not appear to include starting as a rookie. "We know Trey is the future here, and we're trying to do what's best for him and for our team," Shanahan said on Monday. "And Trey's coming off a pretty big injury, and we're going to keep bringing him along and keep getting him prepared as good as he can be to always be ready to come in and help on the plays that we ask him to do. Always be ready to take over if Jimmy gets hurt and being ready to be the future for us

Six games into the 2021 season, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan says he has still yet to have a game where he's truly found a groove from a play-calling perspective. The 49ers have had their inconsistencies on offense throughout the season, with their 30-18 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7 being the latest example. The offense got off to a strong start against the Colts with a touchdown on the opening drive followed by two field goals before the end of the first quarter, but from there they went into a funk that saw them put together seven failed possessions before finding the end zone one more time in the fourth quarter. Shanahan was asked in his postgame press conference if he felt he's gotten into a play-calling rhythm for an entire game at any point
