I'm not that sold on Purdy just yet, but logically speaking, your own statements about him should actually serve as a huge red flag regarding Lance.

Oh I am, if it was just one or two games I'd agree with you, but it's been 6 games and now a playoff game.

He just has "it" and has that moxie to him that you need to succeed at this level.

Could he end up crapping out?  

Sure, nobody is a sure thing, but I think he's shown more than enough for the Niners to fully commit to him as their QB of the future with the one exception of them bringing in Brady for a year and let Purdy learn under him as his backup and take over the following year.

It would be near-insane to not at least investigate, especially if you don't have to give up a #1 for  him. Every team needing a QB will be and there's way too many of those. SF will try to claw back the picks they gave up to get him or the picks they gave up for CMC--someone might just do it. 

If I'm Houston, maybe I send one of my 1sts next year (mine or CLE's, whichever is lower). That leaves me with 2 1sts this year.

 

That being said, the time to ask for him may have been in the CMC trade, which clearly SF has won (at least so far, and it isn't even close). The second best time might be now. We have Huddlers ready to use picks in people like Hooker, Duggan, McKee, Nix, etc...may as well use those picks on Lance. Risk/reward is probably the same.

Fitt would have to go back to his draft grade. Check out the injury and how he’s recovering plus if it’s too expensive to move up for a QB in this draft. 

Id rather go into the the year with Lance and Corral battling than Darnold and Corral if we could get him for our late second. 
 

Shane Steichen would be the best option to develop him if we went that route

Some QBs blossom faster than others. Trey Lance did not have Christian McCaffrey, either. I'm not saying he is definitely destined for greatness, but he may be. There have been many QBs to have it click for them a little later. 

Kittle also missed some games too for Lance if I remember correctly.

Again, this to me just doesn't make sense and a couple people are saying it.

In what world is it them not being interested anymore in Lance?  This isn't a Zach Wilson situation by any means.

He looked decent in his limited playing time given him having only played one year in D2 and not having played at all the year before being drafted.  He's shown nothing to say he is more likely to be a bust than not and we're not talking about giving up early round picks for him either.

The Niners know they have a window to win right now, what good does it do them to sit on a backup QB for another year or two and lose him for nothing when they could draft some players who can help them right now?

If they traded 3 first rounds picks for him and think he is still a legit QB then why would they trade him? His ceiling is still higher than Purdy’s. If they are willing to trade him away (especially for cheap) then buyer beware.

Can't stay healthy so the rest doesn't really matter. I'd rather us just pass and take a swing on a guy more likely to be available. 

It's not like the 49ers have to get rid of him. Purdy replaces Jimmy G and they roll next year like this year to give Lance another chance to try and not bust. With his contract I don't see the rush to dump him unless they know he is unsalvageable or they get a ridiculous offer that shouldn't be coming.

Lol Trey Lance.... I remember not too long ago when the arm chair gm's on here were ready to trade up to get him.

 

Who wanted to trade up? For quite a while it was assumed he would be the one quarterback that could fall.

Based on a few games where he performed decently?  So when Howell has an average start to the 2023 season, can we call him a bust?  

Performed decently while Mr. Irrelevant looks like Tom Brady in that same offense with the same weapons. Shanahan is brilliant and they have elite YAC weapons everywhere.

      Hornets shooting has definitely cooled off to end the season

      Would be cool if Melo and Kon tied for the season league lead in 3’s.  Either that or Kon straight-up.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I love the bottom feeding approach.  Not to say I was the only one, but I was screaming to draft Coker and then screaming to get him in here as an UDFA.  There were criticisms about him, etc.  As a Gamecock baby (Dad was a Tight End for them when I was born) I was against Legette.  I wanted the kid from Georgia.   All that to say this:  I am afraid of drafting a WR (I spent some time today researching) a few of the top names: 1. Jordan Tyson.  MCL, ACL, NHL---he has injured everything he could that ends in "L" and some things not related to his body.  He will drop, and everyone will start getting excited around 15.   NO! take him off the board. 2. KC Concepcion.  I want to like him, but is he not John Metchie III II?  I can't stand drops. To me, the most important characteristic for a receiver is hands.  I do not buy the "He can be taught."  I disagree to a degree.  Catching a football at a high level when you are being hit by someone behind you as you run full speed across the field is more about concentration and focus than anything else. You gotta trust your eyes, your instincts, and your QB.  Hard to teach someone not to fear something that hits you that you cannot see.  Dropping passes gets into your head--that makes you second guess yourself.  if it doesn't, it should.  Either way, it is a mental issue.   3. Omar Cooper.  I like him enough, but at 19? No.  He is a good YAC guy with solid hands.  However, he had a good WR across from him, the best QB in the country, a pretty easy schedule (He had his best games against FCS schools) and I wonder how much of the route tree he ran.  I am torn, not sold.  Of the three just mentioned, he has the worst skillset but I would like him the best as our Z. Who then, do I want, you ask? If it has to be WR, trade back.  If you can't, draft the slow guy who can't get a good release.  1.  Denzel Boston.   If it has to be a WR at 19, I think I would take Denzel Boston.  His biggest criticism is the release (and 40 speed) but he had great hands and runs good routes. as the Z, which is what we need, he would be perfect because he could motion toward the LOS and even when on the LOS, he is off the ball.  Lets do some bottom fishing in Coker Lake: Round 2: Ted Hurst.  He is a model Z WR for this offense.  Drops too many balls to my liking, but as a second rounder, I can tolerate that a bit more than a first rounder.  Round 5: Kendrick Law (UK):  This is the guy I am most comfortable drafting.  His average route at KY was under 4 yards.  He is great at running after the catch.  Stats? don't look at the game stats--look at the measurables. A 42-inch vertical, a 10-foot-8 broad jump, and a 9.60 Relative Athletic Score place him among the most explosive receivers in this class. That kind of lower-body power, paired with his balance through contact and proven ability to generate yards after the catch, gives him a real foundation to develop beyond what Kentucky asked of him. I think they were considering drafting a WR in the first round.  I get it, but as with the tackles in round 1, "Buyer Beware."  I have not given up on XL but I am very concerned that his mind is not right for the NFL.
