Did Trey Lance ever get a real shot?

Guys got the size and the arm strength. Was he buried behind the starting QB's and never really got on the field? Watching the Tube, actually looks decent. I read that he wanted to leave to get opportunity to start. Only 26 and could be someone to check out.....

???????

Stuck behind Purdy and Prescot. Only had 2 or 3 starts. He has skills and maybe Canales could do something with him. Free agent in '26. I say get him on board with a "prove it" contract and see what he can do. The draft isn’t the answer next year to find a QB with his  intangibles.

Im torn. He seems worth a swing given the situation but can he stay healthy? 

They need to take more than 2 swings at that position this offseason. Draft one somewhere to develope, bring in a prove it guy like Lance and a Vet that can contribute for 1 to 2 years in a starting or backup roll that gets what the team is attempting.

Stuck behind Mr Irrelevant?

The last pick in the Draft took his job.

If they couldn't turn him into even a 3rd string stalwart in San Francisco over multiple years, but could turn a broken Mac Jones into a good looking QB in one off season... then there might not be anything there.

And if Canales could have rehabbed him, he was there for the taking this summer...

San Fran is not the Panthers, they actually have legit scouts and talent evaluators, and coaching. Players don’t blow up once they leave like they do here.


Despite the dumb trade for him, if SF let him go, I take that as he isn’t the answer.

I believe he requested a trade once they put him at QB3 behind Purdy and Darnold.  Doesn't look great but everyone knew he needed time as a prospect.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
