On another note, I am devastated by the Purdy injury, but the silver lining is that it opens the door for us to get a definitive answer on Trey. I was slightly worried that we roll with Brock and he becomes a solid starter for us for years, but Trey would go somewhere else and grow into an elite QB. Especially if he really is a transcendental type player. A lot of what ifs, sure, but I like the idea of finding out for ourselves rather than him never having a good chance with us.
This x 100000000
Same exact sentiment I have on the whole situation.
I wanna see what Lance is or isn't for myself before we trade him. Brock going down will allow this so as long as Brock will come back at 100% of what he was when he played this is a silver lining to see what Trey is. If he is underwhelming like Jimmy was we can rock with Brock and make the switch.
.... and this is why it's almost like a bitter sweet sacrifice...
While Purdy is recovering, and still say let him sit for the entire 23 season and hope that Baby Face Trey can stay healthy and not be asked to run the " QB Gap ", and that he gets to showcase his talent...
We do need to bring a veteran just what like English ( who would not PM me back for whatever reason considering his a Moderator ) posted, a guy like Darnold..
BUT if I was running the show, I'd do a 3-way trade.
Lance to Houston - 2nd overall pick to Green Bay - Aaron to SF
Can't imagine Houston doing their part of that trade, but you'd trade the second overall pick for a few years with Rodgers at the end of his career? Interesting...I guess we'd instantly be SB favorites for those years, but I'd rather stick with Purdy + Lance and spend the second overall on DL or OL. Gives us a meaningful shot at sustained success.
it's not that I want to trade the 2nd overall pick, but we know that would make Green Bay listen... they may be in love w/one of the QBs in this year's draft and that 2nd overall pick may just the one to get Aaron to SF.
Since Houston's coach is now MECO, he should know if there's any QBs in this year's draft who he likes MORE than Lance.. No ?? if he believe in Lance, then he can make this trade happen.
Plus, we are just not asking for the 2nd overall pick from Houston, if you look at my other posts, we are also askin for the 3rd round this year and their QB (Mills) to be our backup while Purdy is out for the year (or may be forever) and Houston's 1st overall in 2024.
If Lance sucks, then we can have that 1st overall pick in 2024 that can land us 13 from USC !!
