Going back to the original hypothesis that the 49ers botched the QB position, how is that turning out? Rookie QBs not looking so hot in their starts, perhaps it is better to sit behind a veteran and learn? Maybe Kyle actually was being purposeful in having Trey not thrown in with the ones during camp and have high unattainable expectations.
Week to week Trey is running scout team and learning as he goes. Perfect in my mind.
Trey has looked great in the few attempts he has had in goaline situations.
Garoppolo although not lighting the world on fire has been very serviceable and a mid tier QB with a 67% completion percentage, 4 :1 TD ratio , 2-1 record and a 101.4 QB rating. Overpaid, yes, but productive. He is what he is, a QB that knows the system well, has limitations, but wins games. He had them in a position to win Sunday, but coaching, defense, and clock management blew it.
Looks like the only "botching" that was done was by wishful Seahawks fans!
No one is taking "the fall" for this because there is no fall. :2thumbs:
Jimmy is a stop gap and impeding the development of Lance. He has no long-term future with the team.
Lance is currently being used like Taysom Hill.
What you're seeing around the league with rookie QBs is Lance next year, only delaying the inevitable. Lance only started 17 games in college, and played in 1 game last year. He needs real reps reading NFL defenses, being the trigger man.
Realistic hypothetical: The Niners finish with a losing record this year, Trey plays bad next year in his first full year starting. Kyle would then have a losing record in 5 of 6 seasons. Someone's head is going to roll.
