We'll see what happens. If Brock plays well enough to win the job then great. But you're wrong in your reasoning.
Trey didn't fail the team with his play, the team failed him. Whether that matters is another story, it's a tough business.

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.
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.
