1. Purdy is a find. He's proving to be a viable starter in this league.
2. let's not get crazy- this roster only needs a competent QB. Anything more is gravy. I'm not knocking Purdy - in fact I think it shows....
3. .....Jimmy G was limited and afraid to go deep. He has improved but he's 31 and injury prone.... Purdy has utilized the skill makers on this offense way better than jimmy has. So yea...
4.... Jimmy is gone.
5. Lance's ceiling is technically far higher than Purdy's so I think they give him a real shot to get the experience he needs. The only way to know is to have him play and see if he has it. Unless Purdy xarry's us to a Lombardi I see it being an open completion with Lance getting the nod.
l feel like Kyle shouldn't have Trey run or design the offense anything different than it is now. He should have him learn the offense we use now. I believe if and how Trey improves, especially as a pocket passer, the offense will naturally evolve with it regardless. Exciting times.
I disagree, Trey will be Brocks backup next year, unless he does a nose dive the rest of the season and it's an early exit in the playoffs. Brock is ready to go now, Trey needs more time to develop into what Brock already is.

I think Purdy has demonstrated he has an adequate arm for a starting QB in the NFL. He has excellent accuracy on his throws. He is mobile. He has high football IQ. He knows how to read defense and find the open receiver. Yes he is short, and that can not be changed. But overall, his ceiling is reasonably high.
At the end of the day, pretty much no one completely reached their ceiling in terms of potential, it is a matter of how close they can get to their ceiling. Many will end their career without ever getting close to their ceiling. Otherwise why would Tom Brady and Joe Montana be considered GOAT? There are easily several dozen QBs played in the NFL in the last several decades with higher ceilings than them (Stronger arms and better mobilities), all these guys need to do is mentally be as good as Tom Brady and Joe Montana and they would have been better than better than GOAT. But the problem is 99% of the QB prospects will never be able to develop their mental skills to the level of Brady and Montana.
Because Purdy has reasonably high ceiling, it doesn't make sense to just give the job to Trey because of his "higher" ceiling.
Point understood and agreed about potential. But my thinking is how will Trey improve if not given the opportunity to? There's nothing we can do with the fact he has little experience compared to Purdy.
If Purdy is they starter how will try ever catch up or surpass him? Like I can't knock Trey because he's raw. Jimmy was who he was and I was done with him. With Trey we have no idea yet because of his limited playing. Purdy is an amazing surprise and certainly better than Trey right now, but I still can't discount that we don't allow Trey to have a real chance.
