I can't pretend to know how Trey thinks but I know that I wouldn't want Jimmy sitting on the bench just waiting for me to have a rough game. When you're young and inexperienced you have enough to worry about without wondering if you're going to be pulled the first time you screw up. Learning for a rookie is already tough. No need to put that extra pressure on him.
So, it was okay for Jimmy to go through that exact same scenario last year but Lance shouldn't have to do it because he is young and impressionable. Got it. 
Jimmy remaining on the team as a back up is an unlikely hypothetical scenario, the Jimmy fan club is now at the bargaining stage of the 5 stages of grief.
Depression comes next when he's released from the team, and finely acceptance when the Niners have success without him.
Well, typically for your sort, you're missing the point. Personally, I am of the opinion that, if the team believes Lance is their guy and is ready to go there isn't much upside to bringing Jimmy back this year. I was just pointing out the usual hypocrisy and double standard that have become the norm of certain posters on this particular topic.
Actually your point about hypocrisy was 'false equivalency' given the context of why Trey was backing up Jimmy. It was a planned transition scenario, while the scenario of keeping Jimmy would indicate a lack of confidence in Lance.
It's a pointless debate as it's based on the unlikely hypothetical of keeping Jimmy as a back up. A scenario that doesn't consider that Jimmy would not want to be a back up, but would rather want a chance to start elsewhere.
