I don't even know if they broke anything. Their plans were scuttled by injuries and I don't know that their head coach actually had a plan for him once Purdy emerged.

Yeah notice how the day before the trade the 49ers announced they were keeping Trey Lance unless a good fit in a trade came along. Yeah that's how you keep a guys value up.
Not by saying you're cutting him if a trade can't be worked out.

These people are delusional. Lance won't even be active unless someone gets hurt.
The Saints only did that because they didn't have a QB. I'm not sold on Dak to be sure, but my God, he's miles better than the interception machine known as Jameis Winston.

They were like hey how about a 5th.
And we were like no sir, we got a 5th for Cooper. How about a 4th instead?

No. I like Richardson even less than Lance.

It's been a while since Jerry told us how most of his best deals, people told him he overpaid for. We're hearing that Monday. Book it. ~ points bat ~

The 4th was more than what they were expecting.
Yep. But yay, and stuff.
I also noticed that Shanahan said he needs to play more. I don't see how that happens here, at least for a while.

We're sending him with Hutch to the Rhein Fire to get the snaps he needs.

Yeah that's the problem in the NFL. Even your backup QB barely gets snaps during practice during the regular season. Lance is going to basically be scout team offense all year. The NFL isn't really set up to develop QBs very well.
But I'm sure McCarthy remembers Aaron Rodgers basically totally rebuilding everything over a couple years in the NFL and is hoping to do that with Lance.

And don't get me wrong, I would absolutely love for that to happen. I've become as big a McCarthy fan as probably anyone. I really like him and think the way he handles Jerry and the media spotlight here is very underrated. So if he could make Lance into a serviceable NFL QB it would help him and the team, and probably increase his chances of staying here a few more years.
But I just don't see it. If Kyle Shanahan thinks you're hopeless, you're most likely hopeless. I mean they kept Sam Darnold over this guy, and Sam Darnold flat cannot play.

It won’t. He will be an improvement on the scout team playing a running QB though.

Buffalo actually needs a QB so I get it.
