It will if he's awesome - have some faith!

Not really. See, if he busts it will be wrong as he won't be the QB of the future. if he is a success it will be wrong, because he would then be the QB of the present... So, three years from now, the title will be wrong either way... 😂

Good thing we have title editing.

49ers gave up a lot for him, he's got high expectations whenever he sees the field, the moment he has a bad game, or even a bad throw, the fanbase and media will turn on him without a second thought

I'm hoping he can dispel the rumors or claims of being inaccurate. Maybe coaching can help that. His throwing motion and release look great to me though, but I'm not a pro at understanding footwork.

I still can't believe we got f**king Trey Lance

Same here!!! Funny thing is - I believed the whole time that it makes most sense to draft Lance and I believed they'll draft him and since it has happened - I'm in disbelief. Lol weird.

No joke I can relate. My gut told me Lance the entire time but all that Mac stuff got to me and drove me nuts not gonna lie

I never really bought into the Mac stuff. It just made no sense to give up so much for him.

But, the first watch of the press conf got me a little. I thought it was very defensive. But when I watched the press conf again later in the day - I thought the questions asked - led to defensive answers more than anything.

The next morning I was again sure they will draft Lance. When they announced - since then I am in constant shock and joy lool

Love this feeling.

Really like this one too. Keeps his feet moving - keeps going thru progressions and find the open receiver. Throws over the LB who is dropping in coverage with some touch. Excellent awareness and decision making.

I've posted this in the draft room and someone astutely pointed out Jimmy G threw an INT against Vikings in playoffs.

Ok, good videos, now lets see the bad throws from that game if we are critiquing.

Sorry you're late to the party. You'll find that in the draft thread when we were critiquing him. Also - I like to focus on what he can do well already and what Kyle saw in him.

Like I said - he was 19. He was starting at QB - he was calling protections - he was calling plays in the huddle - he was running the show. That's pretty impressive for someone who started playing the position in HS.

You want to focus on what he can't do - you're more than welcome to post gifs of that. I'm more interested what he can do and what Kyle loved about him.

#49ers QB Trey Lance had plenty on his plate at NDSU but he still found time every week to put together cut ups and walk his teammates through scenarios on his own every Friday before games. On why Lance might be ready to play sooner than most expect... https://t.co/NPyhjDIJYB

Not at all. The guy was throwing 40+ TD's when a really good season was 20+. It still boggles my mind that people hook 'Super Bowls' upon players as a barometer of their greatness fully knowing that Dan Marino has none.

Well he did get blown out once by lets see, which team was that?

And this time it won't look like a relief pitcher skipping 100 mph fastballs in the dirt.

Marinos throwing motion was a lot like a quick jab. The thing unique about it was that the ball still went 50+ yards with accuracy and velocity. Just watching these Trey clips-- i do get the feeling his arm is way stronger than I thought. Way stronger. If he develops the kind of accuracy that Brees and Montana had, oh my God. with the kind of mobility he has --

I hope Kyle doesn't get hypnotized by the kind of offense he will have like Don Shula did with Marino. I've always felt Shula never was able to build a decent defense around Marino. Same with Seiferts failure to build a strong defense around Steve Young (the Haley trade to Dallas). Both Shula and Seifert (I thought) put too much draft capital on offense because they were going though defenses like a hot knife through butter, and failed thier QBs on the defensive side.

I'm not sure I get the connection between being 'hypnotized by the offense' regarding Marino and not being able to build a defense around him. The Dolphins were throwing the ball more simply because they had one of the top 5 QB's of all time, and were forced to throw more because of a declining defense and running game. They also drafted pretty heavily towards defense...it's just that most of those players never panned out.

He was a freak.....a lot of people want that 'mobile' QB, but I'd take that mid 80's Marino over pretty much everybody in the NFL today.

When your offenses is unstoppable on third downs it makes your defense look good - **statisically**. Time of possession makes your defense (from a yardage standpoint) look like tops in the league because your offense isn't allowing the opposing offense to move against your own defense. So, in other words, a great offense tends to inflate a lot of defensive statistics-- such that you think you have a great defense, when you really have an average defense. I've always felt that when I saw the Miami *killer bees* defense, and also thats how I felt about Seiferts defense when he traded away Haley.
