Los Angeles Chargers QB Trey Lance Thread

so that S2 cognitive test that Brock scored elite in (and people said Lance didn't)…well Marco spoke to people that actually know those scores & said Lance actually did.

he was able to interview the co-founder of S2 Cog and he actually said Lance was elite and closer to Brock's score than that article indicated…30mins into the interview. Interesting stuff overall.

This is just read content! Also I was able to have the opportunity to interview the CO-Founder to understand more about the Test prospects are taking and understand more about Brock Purdy and Trey Lance. https://t.co/n9pG0fVZJI https://t.co/yValGt4jmp

Bump I think Barrows dropped the ball with his article.

Break Glass In Case Of Emergency

As what QB3? What reasonably FA QB is signing up to be our "josh Johnson" ?

Right now minimally any QB that signs would be QB2. BP not on the chart right now, if we even have one

Any QB that's signing has to understand that he would be QB3 if Brock's surgery goes smoothly. Then what? You're paying $6-8M for a guy that's not gonna be active on game days.

it's a weird situation. I don't think it's a position they need to sign as soon as FA opens.

The questions will be answered once we know the outcome of Purdy's surgery. If it turns out to be a simple repair, then a low-end guy to hold the clipboard will be fine. However, if it winds up being a hybrid or Tommy John deal, then we spend more money.

In any case, we can be sure Lynch has considered all the options and is waiting for surgery results to make the next move.

Don't have to understand anything.. not how it works imo.

Any QB signing now gets on the prax field in offseason with TL and that's it. If that guy is doing laps around TL, they have a real shot to start. BP not in the picture here for a long time. If/when he comes back, we will probably carry 3 QBs anyway, like last year. I don't assume BP and TL coming off injury would beat out a third guy, if it's a real guy, not a JJ type. Hopefully they would, however what if they don't, or what if BP is out all season and we don't find this out until August, when all the FA QBs are gone.

Lol… saying "that's not how it works" and you you're acting like there would be an open competition. Wrong.

TL isn't sharing 1st team reps. Not sure why you keep assuming he would.

Yah there is zero reason to have Trey share reps with a Marcus Mariota or whoever else they look to bring in.

They should probably Just go ahead and draft another QB at this point and hope they strike gold like they did with Purdy.

So let me get this straight. TL is on the prax field in July. The FA QB is clearly beyond what TL is doing. We set the chart so the clearly better QB is on the bench and the guy struggling is the starter, is that really your opinion?

how it works is clear, JL said they are adding a QB.. which yes, obviously they will
that guy will get his shot on the prax field to show what he can do
may the better QB get the job
if TL can't beat out some freely available bench caliber QB in year 3 in SF, that is a major problem!

on TL to win the job.. you may assume he will, I am already on record in this thread weeks ago saying TL will start week 1 if I had to guess... yet I am not closing my mind to any other possibility, I know it's a position in flux right now.

My personal preference on who should start has nothing to do with this.

From every report I heard, Purdy was the best looking QB in camp. Did that vault him over Jimmy G or Trey? No. Because Trey was getting all the work with the 1's and Brock was behind him until Jimmy came back.

Why would this season be any different?

Jimmy g had 5 interceptions in a row one practice and was laughed at during our joint practices vs the Chargers. Were you pounding the table to have him benched? Were you saying Trey should be given starting reps? I highly doubt it.

So when you say, "if TL can't beat out some freely available bench caliber QB in year 3 in SF, that is a major problem!" I think you're confused.

You must not fully understand what TC is like. It simply doesn't work that way. If Trey was some random UDFA you would probably have an open competition. But he's not. He's going to get first team reps unless Purdy is healthy. And even then he might still get all of those reps. But you're not giving a street FA 1st team reps over a player you spent 3 firsts on.

One day of struggles doesn't define the situation, like with JGs one prax. If Coach observes over a month QB1 is struggling, he will do something.
Purdy best looking QB at camp is news to me.

Yeah I agree…are we gonna know the outcome of all that before FA starts?

I question if they will have all the info in time for FA or even after the surg. Who is to say the projection of throwing in 3 months will come to pass?

For example, recall that TL was on a timeline to return possibly this year (KS ruled it out but fans and media put the recovery as maybe he comes back).

However, he had complications and I understand needed another procedure to go in and clean it up, effectively ending that convo. Point is, even with a good surg, recovery may go at it's own pace, and we could get good news or bad news later in summer. I think we will do great, as BP is a world class athlete, very young, so the body is very resilient.. however prepare for the worst from a GM standpoint, so we aren't left scrambling for a QB when the pickings are slim.

and what QB is that lol? It's FA..it's not chock full of high upside starters that are willing to play for nothing. It's mostly career backups or old vets that aren't remotely close to who they were years ago.

SF needs to spend that cash on guys that are actually gonna play. We need starters at multiple spots.

I'm not saying they shouldn't invest in QB3, but I highly doubt they spend meaningful cash there. Most these deals are one yr stuff which eats up the available cap space.

So who you spending money on? Realistically and no Jimmy g ain't coming back.
