I'll be honest - Trey as QB1, Nate as QB, And a 7th round rookie as QB3 had me really worried last year before camp. I was thrilled when we signed Jimmy.
we had no idea what we were going to get from Trey, and for me personally, I didn't feel like we were going to get much. I didn't like what I was seeing.
Nate Sudfield, enough said. Lol if our starter goes down - that feels like a nick mullens situation all over again.
then Brock, pick 262, seventh round rookie - not very inspiring. I expected it to be a s**t show if he got in.
signing jimmy gave me some relief because we know what he is, which is as worse is an above average QB, everyone else was super unknown.
even when Brock when in, I was like "bad news bears" hahaha. I told myself I'd watch a few drives and see how he looks before turning it off and then I was captivated, very quickly.
We could have easily cut Brock and rolled with two.
Oh well. It didn't happen thankfully.
That god that he impressed so much with his few reps that he made kyle make a difficult decision. He said they knew after the pre season that they couldn't stash him on the PS. So they had to choose the young talent or sudfield. So far, great choice.
it's how I view lances situation, he just needs to make the most of what he's getting and Kyle will notice. If he noticed Brock when he was getting 2-3 reps a day, he can notice Trey with 8-16 a day - or whatever he is getting on the high end. I think Trey has done a good job so far.
Agree and I love that Trey is breathing down Brock's neck in terms of competition. It's going to make Brock (and Trey) that much better together. As fans we can see theirs strengths and weaknesses much better because they play next to each other. Clearly Brock is great in the short to medium range throws and Trey is great on the longer throws.
That 3rd preseason game where traditionally the starting QB doesn't play is going to be critical for Trey as that is the only certain opportunity he gets to play with the one's. Trey has to knock it out of the park in that game. That's the Bosa Brothers preseason game. I hope Bosa is signed by then so they can play (in a sense) against each other.
I'm very eager to see them play the raiders in joint practice and then the preseason because it's a different animal when it isn't your own team you're practicing against. You kinda know your defense and the defense knows you. They understand the offense and what it tries to do, where as the offense understands our defense and what it tries to do.
so it'll be really interesting to see how they do when it's an actual defense they aren't familiar with. I feel like in camp sometimes QBs will get comfortable and attack areas/players/holes in the defense cause they know it's there, instead of reading the defense properly and attacking that way.
im not saying anyone is doing that, just saying it'll be fun to see when there isn't a comfort factor of knowing the other side.
