It scares me because it's incredibly irrational and dangerous. Potentially because we lucked into Brock the move for Trey can be brushed aside and essentially called even. But how can our evaluation of Trey be so terrible to make such a big move and then not give him the tools to try to turn him into the best version of himself?
The kid is clearly putting in the work to improve but it's borderline malpractice to give Trey that few reps over a 55 game starter in Darnold and friggin Brandon Allen.
Because Kyle doesn't know how to develop a QB. It seemed like he was all in on developing one when he drafted Trey but he got impatient and wasn't willing to help him grow. It's definitely malpractice to give him so few reps when he knows he needs them.
Kyle's job is to win games, not play the guy they drafted high when they have a guy playing so much better. The only thing that the team owes Trey is the money his contract stipulates they owe him. If Kyle thought Trey was the best answer to the QB question, he would be getting starting reps instead of splitting backup reps with a guy like Darnold.
Once again Kyle isn't infallible. He's been wrong before. I hope he's right this time and I hope Brock stays healthy the rest of his career here so we don't have to freak out about QB2/QB3 but that has not been the case so far. Hell all 3 QBs have injury concerns and I hope to hell Kyle adjusts his playcalling accordingly. I don't want him playcalling scared but we cannot have what happened last year happen again.
That also requires the QBs to be smart and protect themselves.
But my issue right now is at least how Kyle is presenting himself. Maybe i'm all tin foil hatted up but it almost seems like he's taking every opportunity to downplay what Trey has done. Whether it's going out on his own and getting with Jeff Christenson to work on his mechanics(they're clearly improved) or just bringing up the other QBs whenever he's asked about Trey.
Maybe it's simply Kyle's way of getting Trey to compete but it still feels like so far we're making a bit of a mess of the QB room because we're hell bent on getting all the QBs reps.
Not to mention the biggest unknown right now is whether Brock is the same guy we saw last year and is Trey the same guy the 49ers saw last year? I 100% get Brock having the leg up on Qb1 but he's coming off a major injury(clearly rusty) and Trey has clearly looked better than what we saw last year. We all know Trey needs all the reps he can get. Giving his reps away to Allen is just dumb no matter how you slice it.
