Los Angeles Chargers QB Trey Lance Thread

But 3 first and a 3rd. And it comes down to competition between Sam and lance. That's crazy

At least it's not Z Wilson.. that thing was a meltdown. Not seeing the field well and too bratty, immature to accept criticism, coaching, etc. TL still has a good chance here.

3 firsts and a 3rd, but if you think about what Trey really is as a QB, it's not surprising. There's literally no proof of him being a good QB. 1 season in a run first offense just bulldozering kids in the FCS? That's his life experience? This honestly had like a 5% chance of working lol

the college competition he competed against was glorified high school, not sure how 9er brass expected that to translate well to the NFL

all said and done Shannalynch whiffed on the TL pick, and BCB has bailed them out making them look smart again

Sam Darnold shouldn't be getting any first teams reps after what they invested in Trey Lance. Everyone agrees Trey Lance needs as many reps as possible, and now you've got the head coach saying he'll be sharing reps with Sam Darnold. It doesn't matter if it's 1 rep or 100 reps--Trey should be getting all of them.

IMO, this is a terrible sign.

I've never thought Trey was a good fit for Kyle's offense. But this not a knock on Trey. Plenty of other good QBs wouldn't mesh well either! The fact that they drafted Trey in the first place is a head scratcher! It's becoming blatantly obvious that our brass doesn't think Trey can run Kyle's offense. Can Kyle change his offense to suit Trey's strengths? Sure! Will he do it as long as Purdy is on the team? Doubtful!

Trey is now the red headed step child in the organization only because he's a square peg in a round hole. He has a huge amount of talent but I don't think the Niners have any intent on developing him. At best, he's a stopgap until Purdy recovers.

The fact that trey is sharing first team reps with darnold tells you all you need to know about trey.

D-E-N-I-A-L

No. He said he expect both guys to get some first string reps…he didn't say they would be splitting them.

That is, by definition, splitting reps.

Woo by TKO

My guess from the fairly obvious context is NY is using "splitting" to mean "splitting in half."

Why wouldn't he say Splitting in half if that is what he meant?

I think once they traded up, not everyone could agree that Mac or Fields were worth it, so they went with the complete unknown. The young kid with a great personality and all the physical attributes.

I think the lack of playing QB was kinda spun as a good thing, like he hasn't developed bad habits and we can mold him.

Yea it hasn't worked lol

I don't think it does.. what it looks like in July and Aug probably will. And for ppl upset about a lil offseason competition.. if TL can't run Sam Darnold off the field, with a multi year headstart with our offense, why does he deserve to start in September? If he can't keep up with Darnold in prax, how will he keep up with Mahomes / Hurts when the real games start?

If he can't beat out Darnold we need to cut ties.

There's no need to beat this death. We all know that splitting reps could mean 50/50 or it could be a 70/30 split, a 90/10 split.

The basis of the 'rep' argument was that people weren't expecting, or accepting, the idea that Sam Darnold was coming in to be more than an emergency QB3 and he would be competing with Trey to bridge to Purdy's return... at a minimum. That argument should be put to rest now. We'll see who wins that battle.

Bahaha cool if we go out to dinner and you guys pay for 90% of the bill. I'll call that "splitting" it 😉

What if we drank and ate 90% of what was served and you ate 10%?

Yeah like most people in the world…narratives though

Most people in the world don't think halving and splitting are synonymous.
Peopme refer to splitting time at a position all the time withiut meaning an even 50/50 split.

Kyle said he was going to split up the 1st team reps between Darnold and Lance.

What narrative am I pushing here?

Originally posted by TheWooLick:

My view of splitting something is equally sharing something…in this scenario I don't see Lance getting 90% of the reps to Sam getting 10% of the starting reps as "splitting" anything.

I mean if that's the case Lance "split" reps with Jimmy his rookie year because he got a couple first team reps all though camp. No one is embellishing that as something meaningful…now if we're in training camp and they're 50/50 then that's much different.

again black and white vs nuance/context. Clearly we know which side you roll with.

He hasnt played enough for anyone using even a shred of logic to say if it worked or hasnt worked.

Now we need to define "splitting". Lol. I love this forum.

Listen man, this aspect of the argument doesn't matter. Unless you know how kyle defines the word split this is all beside the point. Why not just focus on the actual argument, which is whether or not Sam is here to compete for at least the QB2 job. It should be clear that he is, and that's where the rep argument was born. From people who thought he wasn't here in that capacity.
