Wow, look at the way Jimmy was moving after he handed the ball off.

Yeah, maybe he really is injured. Anybody find where he got stepped on?

someone said he hurt his calf after that trick play, jumping up to get the pass back lol. Jimmy made of glass if that's true.

Tad ironic that Jimmy gets hurt jumping to catch a pass that's too high…..

Offense was moving up to that point...perfect spot for Kyle to get too cute with his pkaycalling.

Rolling is a bit extreme....missed FG and INT the two series prior.

If Trey takes us to the Super Bowl (one day), will we nickname him "Big Dance" Lance?

No, he got stepped on. Wasn't that play.

It's been clear since training camp which guy gave the offense a higher ceiling, but that guy also required a unique set of plays. Juggling two different schemes has left things feeling watered down, all while it looks like Trey Lance hasn't been given many reps in practice.

Can't wait to see what Trey has after a few weeks of reps with the 1's and a scheme tailored to his skill set.

Chris' thread here sums it up pretty well...

I swear some are trying to pigeonhole Trey into a pistol QB.

If you watch his big plays from Preseason, it wasn't from Pistol.

I think we just saw some Pistol early on when Trey came in, was because it was a last second thing where they all found out Trey had to go out there. And there were reports of headset issues.

I don't feel it's a two different scheme thing when it comes to Jimmy and Trey.... and I don't feel a unique set of plays, are required for Trey to be successful in this offense.

Outside of our division games.. we have a pretty cupcake schedule overall. Maybe we can win some with Lance considering that.

This. As long as we win the games we should, wild card definitely still on the table. And with Lance getting in this early, he will be that much more dangerous by the seasons end.

Trey Lance not being ready was part of the deal when he was drafted, but not giving him necessary practice time or game experience exasperates that. Then if (when) Jimmy Garoppolo gets hurt, you suddenly have a rookie QB over his skis. And it's not like JG is Alex Smith.

— Chris Biderman (@ChrisBiderman) October 4, 2021

Shanahan's insistence on it not being a QB battle is where I think he took a misstep. It should have been, because that would have meant more reps for Lance. And if he doesn't think Lance was good enough to make it a QB battle, that's ultimately on the coach who's developing him.

— Chris Biderman (@ChrisBiderman) October 4, 2021

You can't be undecided on a starting QB. Biderman's takes on this all year have been annoying. Our QB is either Jimmy, or its Lance. Once you go to Lance, it's permanent. He wasn't going to prep two starters each week so the team wasn't on the same page. Its Jimmy until it isn't. When Jimmy is healthy enough to go again, he'll either be back starting, or Lance will have permanently taken the job.

Lance hasn't been ready to start, so he wasn't going to get starter reps in practice.

You are forgetting about the other 15 injuries that will happen.

There's no exaggeration. Try looking at it from others pov that have argued with these guys about Jimmy hitting Deebo and then them claiming it was a terrible pass then 2 weeks later completely flip flopping and saying the exact same thing we were saying about Jimmy. He put it up there for a td. Or saying that Jimmy hitting Deebo for a huge gain was just luck. Or hating on Jimmy for a check down on 3rd and 15 yet didn't say a word with lance on 3rd and 5.

were you part of these discussions? These guys literally flooded the Jimmy thread non-stop with negativity. Suddenly a slight under throw is no big deal. Suddenly mis-throws are acceptable.

iff topic kind of but I won't even get started on their crush of rival QBs. I don't see them drooling over MVP Stafford this week.

The hypocrisy is frustrating and I'll leave it at that.

If you think this is the same scenario, I dont know what to tell you.

It was except one guy was covered the other had nobody even close to him.

"It was except..."

Thanks for confirming it wasnt.

Great input. By all means explain what the harder throw was instead of "no". Or not.

Great input? You literally said it was "the same except"....if there is an except, that means it wasnt the same.

Now you want me to explain which was the harder throw, as if further confirming that they were not the same.

Haven't been real thrilled with shannys play call this year, tho I am a huge fan, but that was a walk in touchdown if the pitch to jimmy is even reasonable. He absolutely nailed what he saw in film with that play. It has to be executed! 100% on the back. Also, I doubt that's the play he got hurt he said it was in the first drive.

This Is why I thought we should played Lance as much as possible though pre-season. The more reps, the better he'll be going forward.

Who said anything about being a pistol QB? Kyle most certainly isn't gonna call the same exact plays for Trey as he does for a 4 yr vet here. He's not ready for all that...he's a pup who's played little football compared to every NFL QB.

What's wrong with making s**t a little easier for him at the start of his career? Why make him stand in there are go through full field reads? Move the pocket, run the s**t out the ball, rollouts/PA easy stuff...then incorporate more as the game slows down for him.

Kinda get a Prescott vibe from him...in time
