Interesting read, thanks for sharing. I hadn't heard that version of events. I had read somewhere that Shanahan loved Lance from the start. The idea of trading 3 firsts to draft a QB, any QB, is just cray cray. I don't think Mac Jones for 3 firsts would have made sense either.
There’s this narrative around Trey that’s mostly been ppl believing he can be him, a narrative rooted in faith.
He was assumed to be a runner, but never ran a 40.
He was assumed to be a high processor but Hasn’t displayed that rookie instinct seen from Aiden O’Connell, Jake Haener, Dtr and Clayton Tune, to say nothing of Purdy.
It was assumed that a full year of scout team reps would help, but he hasn’t mastered the job like those rookies above, all selected fourth round or lower.
It was assumed that carting Him along to every away game for a year to contribte “insight” would help him apply it. See the Raiders game.
Then Jerruh came along and unbeknownst to his own qb and coach instilled this guy, but with no plans other than to try what sf has already tried. Even Steve Young said Dallas wasn’t the best situation, but the fourth round pick was.
This kid’s comp is probably Josh Rosen.
