Trey Lance Preseason Week 1 Analysis

It's his 3rd fricken year in the SAME system with the SAME coach and he still acts like he's a rookie. When Jimmy G came here he had thrown even LESS passes in New England, he didn't know the playbook and somehow went undefeated with a 1-10 team. You do the best & most unbiased film breakdown and it just confirms the eyeball test we've all been seeing.

I'm not a former NFL QB. I played in HS, sure, who hasn't. But I know exactly what Trey's problem is, and I'm going to tell you all. But first, here's a HUGE red flag that should have been setting off alarms for the 49ers when they studied Trey Lance in college: ZERO INTERCEPTIONS. That is NOT a good thing. If your quarterback goes an entire season without throwing interceptions, it means he's TOO CAUTIOUS and won't throw into tight windows. I say this all the time, but there is absolutely such a thing as not throwing enough interceptions. Just take a look at 2021. Stafford leads the league in picks and wins the Super Bowl, while Aaron Rodgers and his four interceptions are at home watching. Trey Lance is scared. He's terrified of making a mistake, and that is turning him into a mistake machine. He keeps waiting for the perfect look to throw the ball and that simply doesn't exist in the NFL. Until he changes his mental make up entirely and starts thinking of quarterback as a killer instead of a steward, he's going to continue to be trash.

Spot on. I can't help but think his lack of reps throughout his career play a part in his development. His fear of cutting it loose is a major red flag. Fear of failure in this NFL. Leads to mistakes.

He's always had that Alex Smith element to his game. Even during practice, according to Fred Warner his rookie year he had to bark at him and tell him not to be afraid to make mistakes because it was not only hindering his development but hurting the defense as well (when he was running scout team). So I don't think this is a new thing, but it's really jumping off the tape now.

Don't let 49ers twitter make you hesitate even a little, from making these videos! This is film!

What I appreciate about JTO's analysis is he reviewes the entire offense. WTH is going on with the TEs? Why is the RB undercutting instead of blocking? This is taught? Offensive quality control.

Blud is scared to throw it

Thanks for the breakdown JT. Hella informative 🤙

Watching the game live was rough, and your breakdown really backs up the feeling I had that Trey is lacking something crucial to being a successful QB in the NFL. He may get there eventually, but I don't see it happening in this championship window the Niners are in right now. Great job JT, and Go Aggies!

What I got from watching live was he was so clearly scared of making a mistake. Granted a sack is better than a pick, but he’s gotta trust what he sees enough to throw the ball, and he clearly didnt which would be an even bigger issue in a live game. It just sucks cus he’s so talented but the niners are clearly a win-now team so he won’t get a chance to develop with them.

I was just on your channel about 20 minutes before this got released to see if you had done a TL video. Glad you did!

Thank You for an Honest assessment!! Been waiting to hear it through your eyes. Everywhere else I looked was more about the pyrotechnics (the show)..or just bagging on the guy instead of allowing the tape to show..

Thank you JTO for opening my eyes up on TL! Keep up the good work 👍👍👍

This channel is UNREAL. So clear and informative. Can anyone recommend channels of similar quality on other positions (not just QB?)

JT, love your channel, been watching almost 2 years now. I’m only just catching up on your pre-season videos and this is amazing analysis. You called it and said plays like this are what gets you off the team. Low and behold, they shipped him out. You were spot on.

Great breakdown by JTO! Need to stop listening to the craziness on twitter and watch stuff like this for detailed & fair analysis!

He was massively over drafted during COVID. Simple as that. He dominated with a great team against a bunch of teams full of players who never sniffed the NFL.

JTO putting on a great class as usual!

Love your film breakdown dude. Keep up the great work!

Thanks. I always learn a lot on these. Really hope it clicks for Trey and he stops turning down those throws.
