Seen this on Twitter and it got me thinking
Joe Montana said Super Bowl week that players told him Trey wasn't ready to play. Matt Lombardo said Trey continually underwhelmed the coaching staff. Albert Breer questioned whether Trey Lance can run Kyle Shanahan's entire playbook. Ryan Harris of CBS Sports HQ said yesterday, "From players I've talked to and coaches I've talked to who are at the 49ers, Trey Lance is really leaving a lot to be desired in terms of the fitness of his arm, whether or not he can digest the playbook, and can really start to process the game at a high level."
On and on it goes. Seemingly every day someone else is coming out of the woodwork to question Trey Lance.
That begs the question: where are all these people getting their information?
Before you start - don't tell me they're "making it up for clicks." People say that crap all the time but I can tell you from experience that it rarely happens. I have been a part of the media for around 15 years. Before joining SB Nation I worked at ESPN Radio and with NBC's Pro Football Talk for about 15 years. I have gotten to know many an analyst and reporter. They don't just make stuff up. They don't have to. There are enough people inside organizations, or people that used to be inside organizations that someone is going to say something that they can use.
Maybe there was some fire to all this smoke. Maybe it wasn't Scangerollo(sp*) with an axe to grind. Maybe the organization has in fact seen more than the 4 games(only 2 at the point of that article) you guys keep saying is all we got.
It's not normal to name an injured guy QB1 and scream from the mountain top that a guy is available if some of this wasn't true. Then to go on and put him in competition with the worst QB in the last 5 years.
I truly believe we have seen Trey's last snap as a 9er. There is a whole lot of smoke for there not to be fire
