I'd like to see more of Trey, just not if Brock is healthy, because I think he's the better qb short and long term. I don't evaluate QBs solely based on physical skill set.
im also not disillusioned and think he has played well. I think his best game was Houston and I'd classify it as "okay". I think his other two starts were bad performances.
i also don't think that means he's a bad qb. I just think he's very inexperienced and it's evident. I also don't think 5-10 nice plays/throws out 100 is enough to convince me he has tremendous potential, especially when he's missed half of those throws.
im still hoping the young man has a great camp and shows huge strides. I don't think he's going to be a failure in the nfl or anything, we just evaluate potential different and I think we have a much better option for the team short and long term. It has more to do with brock than it does Lance on why Idc to see more of Lance. But I'm also not going to sit here and lie about what I think his performances were.
has Kyle even ever said that Lance had a good game after one of his regular season starts?
I think some people embellish how "bad" he's played.
not sure how completing 70% of your passes for 250 yards a couple TDs and a 113.5 QB rating is considered okay? that was the only game he had Kittle in.
brock had two games where he threw more yards. Two games where he threw more TDs and two games completing more passes. That's including the playoffs and that's with CMC and a defense that actually turned the ball over.
In order for me to consider a qb to have a good game, at minimum, I think they need to have at least 3 good quarters of play. They need to constantly be putting the team in position to convert third downs and scoring opportunities, need to be accurate etc.
Lance had a slow start to that game in the first half. I also factor in that nearly every team in the league did better against that defense than we did - I know it's a different week every week, but I factor that in. Especially when I look at the massive difference in talent/coaching.
those things factor in for me. 3 points in the first half isn't good to me based on the way the offense was.
to treys credit, I thought it was a massive improvement from his Arizona game, which was nice to see. I just think the offense was very clunky.
this isn't something I do unique for Trey, I do this with all QBs. Stats don't always tell the whole story. I've seen QBs suck all game and then at the end get two quick touchdowns and yards st the end (still lost) but their stat line was sexy.
i personally have really high expectations for any qb in this offense, especially efficiency wise. I think Trey has been pretty inefficient. There are valid reasons that have contributed to his struggle but I don't think they should over shadow his performance because he was still out there playing.
