Here are a few basic facts:
- Brock Purdy is QB 1 this year (2023)
- Shanahan loves Brock Purdy
- Shanahan has never spoken about a 49er QB the way he had spoken about Purdy
- Purdy is the man (at least for now)
- Purdy received basically no reps as QB 4 (he took Nate Sudfeld's job) last summer
- Purdy somehow learned Shanahan's complicated offense in his rookie year without reps
- Purdy played exceptionally well in 2022
- Trey has not played well in the NFL
- Trey has very little experience playing football
- Trey had many skilled players on offense when he played for the 49ers
- Trey has not looked like the athlete we expected
- Trey has been given many opportunities to be QB 1
- High draft picks are given more opportunities than low draft picks
- Trey could not beat out Jimmy his first training camp despite the coaching staff desperately wanting him to.
- Trey could not take Jimmy's job in 2021 when given the chance
- Purdy took Jimmy and Trey's job when given the chance
- The team signed Jimmy as a backup in 2022 after casting him out like the plague
- Trey's shortcomings likely caused the team to retain Jimmy in 2022
- If Trey had Purdy's rookie season he would be considered the team's "franchise qb."
- If Purdy had Trey's rookie season we would cancel the "Mr." in "Mr. Irrelevant" (he would be just irrelevant)
- If Purdy had Trey's first four starts the Team would have benched Purdy
- If Purdy played the way Trey has played the team would not have made the playoffs in 2022
- If Purdy completed the percentage of throws that Trey has completed he would be benched
- Purdy would not be given the number of opportunities Trey has been given had Purdy played like Trey has played
- If Purdy played like Trey has played he would not be QB1 in 2023
- If Purdy played like Trey has played he would probably not make the team in 2023
- Wanting Purdy to not be ready for the season so Trey can start is an asinine take
- Purdy is the best QB on the 49ers roster right now
- More recently Shanahan has spoken fairly highly about Trey
- Hope that Trey can be a franchise QB is purely speculative
- Trey is fighting to be QB 2
- Trey failing to beat out Darnold will be a bad sign for Trey's NFL future
- This thread is crazy
You sure about that? They gave him one chance last year by naming him the starter. That's it. His rookie year they said right off the bat Jimmy is their guy.
Yes I am sure. (See points 14, 15, 17, and 18.) I'll add points 36 -38:
36. Trey was named starter in 2022.
37. Trey got injured week 2
38. Trey has been injured in almost every game he has played for the 49ers.
