This breaks down Lance being traded to the Commanders https://sportsnaut.com/nfl-quarterback-trades-2023/ If Purdy becomes the 49ers’ starting quarterback next season, receiving overwhelming support from the locker room and coaching staff, Lance could try and force his way out. While San Francisco could keep him, the 2023 offseason might be its last opportunity to trade him and still receive quality compensation in return. San Francisco 49ers receive: 47th overall pick, conditional. 2024 third-round pick Washington Commanders receive: Trey Lance Lance isn’t worth a first-round pick at this point. He remains unproven and the reports out of training camp suggested there were still alarming accuracy problems. With only 102 career pass attempts in the NFL, another season spent backing up Purdy would further hurt his trade value.

And NO uses that pick to jump and and acquire Maye/Williams in 24 to play against us for the next decade plus...

Right now I would say he hasn't had an adequate opportunity (injuries suck). So it would be a big question mark just like any other draft pick. Purdy fits more of the Jones/Pickett mold where he can come in and play right away and look decent, but that's probably his ceiling as well. However, that's what they need in San Fran (it's why Shanahan probably wanted Mac Jones at 3). They are needing to win now with their complete roster. We need a young QB that can grow and develop in our offense with our new HC.

If he 7th round rookie is undefeated then that completely changes the scenario. Sometimes you can find your QB by dumb luck. Not playing due to IR is completely different that not playing due to performance. Like I stated the Niners went into the season with Lance and their guy, he went to IR then Jimmy G came back, he went to IR and they were what a 500 team?? Enter this "7th round rookie" and they haven't lost a game yet....

I kind of like AR, especially if we get the right OC, but to me Lance could be a very similar prospect for a fraction of the draft cost. If we could get AR in the 2nd I would be very happy, but as you stated he will get over drafted because he is a QB.

So you don't want to draft a QB in rounds 1 or 2?

Teddy played much better with a worse OL, (CMC was on IR), same weapons, and a worse HC. Keep crying about Darnold shitting the bed like he always does, but the truth is Teddy is a much better QB than Sam. That’s where Sam in at after year 5. Below Teddy in the backup/bridge QB market.

If a rookie steps in for your injured starter and doesn’t lose then you probably roll with him next year as well. Lance is on IR and Purdy hasn’t lost. What can Lance possibly do to stop Purdy from being the guy going forward. Purdy is the more pro ready young QB so he fits perfectly where they are as a team (win now mode). I do understand being skeptical, which is why I’m saying a 2nd or 3rd for him.

I was just posting this!

The Pats picked a 6th round QB over former top pick Bledsoe. Sometimes you just strike gold. That didn’t mean Bledsoe was bad… If they win the Super Bowl with him it’s going to be hard to bench him for Lance. If they are in win now mode they don’t need a developmental QB in Lance as a backup. They need a vet to step him and steady the ship if needed.

No but if Purdy is their guy and they spent a 7th on him they are coming out ok.

Lol when he was “winning” our running game was carrying his ass. When our run gets shut down and we have to rely on your boy Sam you get a 2.8 QB rating….

He was a top 3 pick so he still hits the cap at 9 and 10 million over the next 2 years. The dead cap might outweigh those numbers though. They also have no picks in this draft so if they want to build around their core they could use the capital. Also they might prefer to have a nice vet QB to help with Purdy’s development. It probably won’t happen, but we are just responding to the story that was “leaked.”

So many excuses for a 2.8 rating .

Agree 100%. Also spending a 2nd on him will allow our HC and staff to get a real good look at him and his development throughout the year. If he isn’t the answer then we look at the next draft’s QB class which appears to be shaping up nicely.

They are getting a return on investment because they found their QB by complete dumb luck. The more Lance sits and ages behind Purdy the worse of a return you get for him. It’s just business.

Who said he couldn’t make it? He was the starter until he got hurt. He looked no so great in his first start in the pouring rain, but that doesn’t tell the full story.

Sam threw so well his last game. Good call. Does it matter which team he throws to? I thought his historically low QB rating would shut you up about him but I can see his nuts are fully emerged in your mouth…

Yeah he hates QBs than can run. Unless it’s Steve Young or some other old guy…

Yeah but you have terrible takes… Sam has more upside . Sam’s upside is a decent backup that can manage a game where everything is going well. He is in year 5 and will be on his 3rd team. The Jets picked Zack Wilson to replace him…

Yeah the less he plays and more he ages/sits on the bench the lower his trade value becomes. Right now some teams are thinking he is still very young/raw and can be developed into a QB for their system. Two years from now that could change....

Yeah if it is more of Purdy coming out of no where and proving he is the guy then they might just be flipping Lance for a 2nd round pick to build around their core players. They don't have many (if any) picks in this draft. Purdy and Lance also have tow totally different playing styles so even using Lance as a backup means the whole offense has to change if Purdy gets injured. I'm with you though. If our new HC sees something he likes in Lance then maybe we pull the trigger on a deal. I could see Steichen liking him and using him in a very similar offense Hurts in currently in.

A 2nd for Lance and sign Brissett to a 1-2 year deal sounds pretty fair to me. Brissett could hold down the offense until Lance is ready. If we end up with Reich (not my top choice) he would have some familiarity with Brissett.

I mean if we sign a FA TE and extend Bozeman this draft covers the rest. Maybe a ball hawking FS??
