The Truth Behind the Tragic Fall of Trey Lance

At the end of the day, Trey didn't really get a lot of chances, but he also didn't really seize the ones he did get. Brock, on the other hand, took his shot and just kept winning game, after game, after game. You can say his arm strength isn't as good, his ceiling is lower, etc, but at the end of the day winning is better than losing, and Brock just keeps on winning.

Lance should do a PSA for 'Staying in school." He wasn't ready for the pros. NFL graveyard is littered with players who looked good on paper but didn't have the intangibles.

Whoever advised him to declare for the NFL is a criminal. He needed more starts

Mahomes really isn't even a solid comparison to Lance. Whatever flaws Patrick had coming out of college, he had a LOT more experience than Trey did.

He declared for draft too early, some rookie quarterbacks have played more games than him in college alone.

Some QBs have all the physical talent but between the ears they cannot process NFL speed.

He didn't play one snap with CMC. Purdy has never played a snap without CMC. It's not everything, but even Jimmy's numbers skyrocketed after the trade to acquire McCaffery.

For what they gave up for him, possibly one of the worst draft picks in NFL history.

Lance will be one of those breakout players you'll hear about in a few years. The guy has one of the strongest arms and mobility in the league

I've been watching NFL football for over 2 decades and the Trey Lance hype narrative was probably the dumbest I've ever heard. I drafted around 100 fantasy rosters last year and took ZERO lance. EVERYONE was hyping him up and it made ZERO sense. He played like 1 yr in college, small program, and the year he played wasn't even the year prior to entering the draft. That's enough info to know he's barely draftable at all, let alone 1st round. I'm surprised Lynch still has a job after that, absolutely bonehead move.

Well done! I just found your channel and I instantly subscribed!! I'm not even finished with the video yet and already like your style and how well u speak. I'm sure I'll binge watch your videos. Cheers from Florida

Shit happens, but the one trully baffling aspect of this is the fact that they drafted the rawest prospect ever while in a superbowl window. That's just hard to explain. Sheer arrogance. In that same class there was Justin Fields and Mac Jones. Both played at a high level in big-time schools. I understand thinking Lance had higher upside than Jones, but he absolutely never had higher upside than Fields. This is one more case of NFL coaches and executives overthinking it

Great analysis! As a Niners fan who wanted to see Trey succeed (and has watched the Trey haters and Trey Stans tear down the fandom) I think you are spot dead on…up until the Shanahan being better at developing QBs than McCarthy. Shanahan is a better offensive coach than McCarthy, but Shanahan has no track record of successfully grooming a young QB. He didn’t groom Brock, Brock landed NFL ready. He didnt successfully groom Lance, Allen looks pretty bad, Mullens and Bethard weren’t successful, and he exposed RG3 to crazy injuries. To be effective Shanahan’s offensive scheme seems to just need a QB to get the ball out with quick and accurate short throws, and if the QB can’t do that he’s generally done with them.

That covid year really messed with a lot of draft stuff. Kinda wild to think this would be Lances rookie season if he stayed in college.

The 49ers done screwed up.

So at 9:20 why did they draft a qb: Context - Garoppolo was injured a lot and they were limited in what they could do offensively. Jimmy has a quick release but mobility, deep ball outside the numbers, scrambling, and health were all concerns. Also they were paying Jimmy about 30M a year and they could get a franchise qb on a rookie contract that would help get players around him. Hindsight is 20/20: The 2021 class was loaded with qbs and now we are finding out it may have been the weakest in the last 10-15 yrs Trevor had a solid year last year but thru a few games this year doesnt look as transcendent as he was slated as. Mac Jones made the probowl as an alternate but was benched for a guy that the pats cut Fields is awful cant read defenses and Chicago is about to hit the reset button on him. Trey Lance was billed to have a strong arm and be mobile but really never really saw the arm and the mobility thing was weird because he wasnt quick and he couldnt run over people like Cam or Allen so he was just average. He's a good guy but indecisive and inaccurate.

OMG! First time watching your video and now I’m hooked! I’m definitely subscribing keep up the great work!

As a fan of the Miami Dolphins, all I have to say is Thank You John Lynch!

You're filling a much needed segment in the sports market. Please 🙏🏾 keep it up 💯

In the end, it was a bad move using 3 first rounders to draft Lance. Too much pressure on an inexperienced player. Lucky we got Purdy. Sometimes things just work out. Good luck to Trey in Dallas.
