That's inconsistent logic.

The only difference is that one player is the GOAT QB in his prime while the other is a rookie playing in an elimination game.

In both cases, they are impressive performances in themselves.

When context takes you to Joe having an all time good day for any QB = to TL beating the Texans

It's the same team that beat Justin Herbert the week before, contributing to the Chargers falling a game short of making the playoffs, the same position the Niners were in up to that point at 8-7.

That was a high pressure game for a rookie. Shanahan should have stuck w/ Trey after that game as Jimmy was never going to win #6 whether injured or healthy.

We will forever be hearing about how HOU.. a combined 7-26-1 with 2 fired coaches in 2 years.. beat Herbert the week before..

look I don't have a narrative.. just the fax sir or madam.. HOU sucks.. that's all there is to it

sure it counts, it counts as what is it, beating HOU is what it is.. I don't put it on the level of beating playoff teams / teams bound for the postseason or hype it as a tough team

Agree. Trey fanboy are trying so hard...LMAO.

With players that left as free agents to contenders. See Justin Reid.

You made a poor argument. That's an NFL team, better players than Trey faced in college.

There is no discounting stats because of your opponent's record. That's a straw man argument made up by Lance critics.

When Joe Montana put up 476 yards 6 tds against an Atlanta Falcons team that finished 5-11, no one dismissed it because of their record.

We really comparing Montana to Trey now?

No, it's an example of how an impressive statistical accomplishment wasn't discounted because of the quality of the opponent.

Lol.. throwing 476 and 6 is an accomplishment I don't care who you play.. beating the Texans isn't in the same ballpark

Look credit where it is due I think the HOU win was cool it was the first win in a young man's career; that's a big deal, but let's not blow smoke here

In one example the weakness of the opponent didn't matter but in the other example it does.

That's inconsistent logic.

It was consistent logic. Both were discounted, but Montana still have an excellent day no matter how you discount it. Trey not so much.

You are trying way too hard.

when having context, goes wrong

It's not that complex.

The team drafted Trey knowing he needed reps to improve. They then sat him as a rookie only playing him when forced by injury and when they played him it was mostly using him as a near fullback.

I mentioned before when you look at Trey's runs vs Seattle when he came in mid game vs his runs when he was a starter they were a lot worse.

On top of it the whole thing this year with Lance starting was "we don't need Trey to do too much the run game, defense and all our talent at WR/TE would help him out"

His one start this year aka his big chance to prove himself Kittle is out. Mitchell gets hurt early. Deebo fumbles in the red zone. Defense commits stupid penalties in key moments and screw up coverage allowing Fields to throw for his 3 good throws and two of them for TDs.

So yes the team failed him. They knew what they were getting and the support system which was supposed to lift him up didn't live up to the billing.

People get the fullback line wrong. He wasn't used like a fullback. He moves around like one. That was the quote from the guy who has a ring.

Fair enough. And I understand the circumstances with one QBs start and another will never be 100% the same. NFL to me is a results business, I am not gonna make a bunch of excuses for this player or that. You either get the result or you don't. BP has had many context reasons why he should fail. Mr Irrelevant in his first career start should not be beating Tom Brady. He overcome. That's all you can ask. Yet to see TL really produce or click on the field but he's got more years with us.

We've seen a lot of examples of QB who didn't impress early who teams stuck with and they now have elite QBs headlining their teams.

Josh Allen was brutal early on. Buffalo fans wanted to move on. Now they all worship him and are SB favorites.

Jalen Hurts looked like an athlete with a so so arm. Now he's an MVP candidate and a huge part of their success. Eagles fans were still crying for Wentz and looking at taking a new QB.

Tua before getting his concussion issues also showed how much someone can improve after early struggles.

If Purdy keeps balling then the team may not have a choice but to sit Trey and take the sure thing but in no shape or form is Trey a finished product and the team understands that. Hard decision for them will be so you basically not allow him to develop the way he would with playing time or do you risk it? We'll see what happens.

Go back and watch his runs during the Seattle game as a rookie and tell me he moves like a fullback.

To me he looked hesitant on the designed runs because he wants to run the play as designed and not yet used to NFL speed. When he ran out of pass plays on QB scrambles he was a lot more instinctive, faster and more agile. Another reason why Kyle should've eased up on the designed runs.

You made it sound like the Niners are a dysfunctional organization. We are actually the opposite of that. Trey just couldn't get it done and got hurt.

So what you are saying is he can't even run the QB designed run plays properly. That is very bad.

He does he's got a heavy first step. Purdy moves better imo. Quicker first step. TL would smoke BP in a 40 yard dash.. but that's not what we see QBs doing on gamedays, running the 40. Considering he was invested in a major way, probably more than any 49er pick in history, for his run ability, I would expect him to be better at it. I am on record as saying he should maybe drop some baby fat and come back 210 and quicker or add some weight to lean into the power role. Either may be an upgrade. He can get some off schedule first downs but he's no elite run threat from my viewpoint.

He definitely looks hesitant on the designed runs as opposed to when he scrambles

It's ok just stick that head in the sand and pretend anything going against your argument is BS.

And it was wrong, as has been proven to you MULTIPLE TIMES. He does NOT move like a fullback. He's far more agile than a fullback. He's just also big, and as such is USED like a fullback on QB power plays.

Do I need to once again prove you wrong about this by posting images of Trey cutting like a running back rather than a fullback? Will you even acknowledge it? You have yet to, if I recall correctly.

EDIT--The only fullback that moves like that is the one who runs routes like a wide receiver, who is on our team. Trey doesn't move like a fullback. He just has bad vision when running and generally just slow reaction time. When he's in the right state of mind he's much quicker than a fullback.

There is no discounting stats because of your opponent's record. That's a straw man argument made up by Lance critics.

When Joe Montana put up 476 yards 6 tds against an Atlanta Falcons team that finished 5-11, no one dismissed it because of their record.

We really comparing Montana to Trey now?

No, it's an example of how an impressive statistical accomplishment wasn't discounted because of the quality of the opponent.

Lol.. throwing 476 and 6 is an accomplishment I don't care who you play.. beating the Texans isn't in the same ballpark

Look credit where it is due I think the HOU win was cool it was the first win in a young man's career; that's a big deal, but let's not blow smoke here

In one example the weakness of the opponent didn't matter but in the other example it does.

That's inconsistent logic.

The only difference is that one player is the GOAT QB in his prime while the other is a rookie playing in an elimination game.

In both cases, they are impressive performances in themselves.

It was consistent logic. Both were discounted, but Montana still have an excellent day no matter how you discount it. Trey not so much.

You are trying way too hard.

It wasn't.

No one ever mentions the Falcons' record when talking about Joe's amazing day, because it was irrelevant, just as the Texans' record was irrelevant when Trey helped save the Niners season.

I don't expect you to concede. Feel free to continue to downplay not only a talented player's accomplishment, and the team's win.

Don't bother. This dude keeps ignoring simple facts when they don't fit his narrative of Trey sucking.

I've asked these guys to go back and look at those games and point out specific plays when Trey either shows he can't read the field, makes a bad read or makes inaccurate throws with a clean pocket.

Far as I know none of them have done that and keep referencing things like completion %.
