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.

It's actually been confirmed that Shanahan wanted Lance.

I do get the feeling that if they had that to do all over again, it probably would have been Jones.

What's the incentive to move on from Lance?

Here's the thing about Purdy - does he look good because he's actually a quality NFL player?  Is he the next Tom Brady style story?  Or does he happen to be in the best system in the NFL?  As we have seen, coaching matters.  Scheming matters.  The player is almost the least of the variable.

I think they will probably keep Lance next year and let him and Purdy battle it out.  If Lance looks good but loses out to a better Purdy, then they might get more from that.  They are both on rookie contracts so there's more incentive to see if Purdy is the real deal or if Lance's light finally clicks on and he can stay healthy.

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.

Yep, but still get a 2nd plus conditional because of potential...

The Washington Commanders can package a top-50 pick and a conditional 2024 pick to roll the dice on Lance. If he starts 80% of the Commanders’ snaps in 2023, it becomes a second-round pick. Furthermore, it would increase to a 2024 first-round pick if Washington makes the playoffs and Lance meets the snaps threshold. Considering Lance’s rushing ability, he could be an ideal fit for the offense Ron Rivera wants the Commanders to use moving forward.

Are we sure Chicago won't trade Justin Fields?

 

They have a lot of needs on that team. They could take Bryce Young #1. They can use Fields to get even more assets.

 

I would trade 2 1st for Justin Fields in a heartbeat. That kid has talent but Chicago literally has nothing around him. He would thrive here behind our Oline.

 

#TradeForFields

I am a huge Fields fanboy and would love if Chicago was dumb enough to trade him.  With that said I don't think we should give up TWO first round picks for him.  Number 9 should more than do the trick IMO.

Chicago is absolutely not trading Fields away this off-season and they 100% aren’t drafting QB. I’d bet deleting my forum account vs anyone who believes otherwise.

He threw it well in college. The dude just doesn't have time to throw. He's running for his life behind that Oline and his WR's are trash.


The kid is in a bad situation and he's still showing you signs that he can play. You can't tell me he wouldn't be a threat behind our Oline and with a WR like DJ.

You have to understand CatsFan69 is like a parody or joke account. I wouldn’t take anything they write as serious.

I suspect everyone's opinion on Lance goes up if Demeco goes to a new team with no QB (Houston? Indy?) and then that team trades for Lance.

He's seen him in practice, and he knows if he'd have the tools and ability to beat a defense.

That then allows him to draft Carter or Anderson at 2 or 4, plus maybe Johnston--who is from Temple, TX and would be their best receiver since Nuk--at 12 (if it's Houston).

What do you guys think the Niners will do next year with him and if they look to trade him, what kind of return do you think they'd be looking for?

It really wouldn't surprise me if they want to try and move forward with Purdy, particularly if they can sign Brady and have him learn under the GOAT for a year.

If that happens, have to think they end up trading Lance for some assets that can help them win now, depending what he'd cost, that could be a very intriguing option for trying to land a QB this year as opposed to trading up in the draft.

 

ain't nobody winning with that division 3 QB. The only reason they didn't go undefeated was because he was the opening starter.

He wasn't surgical throwing in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
