There is plenty of reason to think Brock may be the FQB moving forward, but ZERO reason to hope we trade Lance. The narrative is that Lance isn't worth s**t so we should trade him. But if he wasn't worth s**t, why would any team want him? So we have a Drew Brees/Phillip Rivers situation. Why not enjoy the depth at QB and luxury of having both on rookie deals for the foreseeable future? Why are these few people so eager to dump him? We AIN'T keeping Jimmy, that what's bothering folks?
Teams will trade for the unknown and right now that's where Trey lands on league radars for everyone but this Franchise who has seen him in 2 training camps and preseasons. Teams will also make stupid moves for a QB when they don't have a QB. Trey still has trade value but if we skirt him out for a 3rd season to see him fail again it will diminish what we can get for him.
This is Purdy's team and I'm a Jimmy fan but the kid has something special.
Trey will get a 2nd and a 3rd best case in a trade. Who would do that? Anyone who loses out on any other chance on QB's they want in the draft and on veteran QBs they want in free agency. He's got a low salary cap next year, we should just keep him. I'm only worried about him "beating out" Brock in TC and the pre-season for reasons unrelated to his skills or performance, and more related to how much ego is tied up in that awful draft trade for the rights to draft him.
Why would the 49ers choose to lose cap space AND a backup QB to get mid round picks? Don't see them trading him. The best QB is going to play. The only way Trey has a chance at beating out Brock is if he grows in the off-season and Shanahan gets fixated on QB power and things off of it again. That's very unlikely to happen. It's not like Brock is playing like Jimmy. Brock is playing like a top 10 QB.
I'm a little worried about them giving the ball back to Trey because of his draft commitment. Purdy has obviously been better, but he also didn't have CMC. I honestly thing Christian has been the difference maker, but Purdy is also more accurate, has way better pocket awareness and his scrambling is more productive
CMC really started consistently lighting it up after Purdy became QB. Lance was so deer in the headlights that I don't think CMC, or Walter Payton for that matter, would have suddenly made him play like Purdy. Purdy is on another level as compared to Lance.
Lance certainly was a "deer in the headlights". He habitually jumped scared from the pocket way to early and missed passing opportunities for short runs. He is very unpolished and nothing would have changed that up to now. He is still going to need another couple of years to develop as a second stringer. He is not up to the starting job anytime soon. It is just pure fantasy to think he will be QB1 at the start of next season particularly when we have Purdy balling out like we would expect a No3 pick to do.
Imagine the noise if Bosa needed a couple of years to develop before he got his first sack because he was too inexperienced. It is the same deal with Trey. All hype but no walking the walk.
