As good as the 49ers have been, imagine if they hadn’t blown the Lance or Solomon Thomas picks.

They’d be a dynasty for sure.

Trey Lancealittle

What team is gonna take this chance?

MVS and CEH for Trey Lance!

/Balto

Kind of surprised Shanahan and Lynch aren't eviscerated for this. Looking at all the talent in the top half of that 2021 draft class and the two first they gave up in 2022 and 2023 they very well may have cost themselves a chance at multiple championships with how close that roster is. A massive blunder.

and what are they gonna give up for him? a high second?

I guess even working with Mahomes this past summer couldn't fix Lance.

Well, they were stupid enough to at #3. Probably a team similar to Cleveland salivating at the chance to go full-reerun.

Minnesota and Atlanta have been floated a lot. Apparently they even had discussions with Minnesota but they fell through.

Imagine trading your 1st in the next three drafts along with a 3rd rounder to draft a QB you’re looking to trade just 2 years later….. and still being one of the better teams in the league! Crazy.

This move should have set the 49ers back 5 years and yet here they are with a good chance to get back to the NFC Championship game.

It can't help a guys confidence practicing with the greatest ever.

"Hey look, this is something you'll never comprehend or be able to do!" over and over. LMAO

That's a lot of eggs to put in the basket of a guy who has started 8 career games.

It was very obvious that he was going to be a bust. I called it from the beginning.

Well they have a starting QB from the 7th round.....the issue is that trade ****s them over because they should have more depth.

That’s what I’m saying.. it’s simultaneously impressive and a huge example of stepping on your own dick.

Like, you clearly flubbed this by drafting a guy who, 2 years into his NFL career, still hasn’t attempted 500 actual game passes in high school, college or the pros combined at #3 overall. At the same time, you seemingly hit on a QB in the 7th round and that can make it all OK.

I don’t know if I should be impressed or what..

I think about that quite a bit. That's blowing MULTIPLE 1sts and still having a ton of talent. It's crazy.

If they had gone QB instead of Thomas, they're a dynasty.

Just blue-skying, because under no circumstances do i think KC should trade for this guy.


However, does anyone think that Andy could turn this guy into a starting QB? I'm not sure I can envision that, based on Trey's performance thus far in the preseason. But I never saw him in college, so . . . ?

Too bad our cap space is a sack of pussy farts.

This is the kind of trade Andy could eventually convert in a one and more.

If you're the Broncos and can get him for a mid round pick, why not? He cost literally nothing

The pro game is SO much faster than college.

Not every college star QB succeeds in the NFL.

The pile of QB failures is high.

Eh, there just might not be much there to develop. For all the flaws Kyle Shanahan has as a head coach, he has pulled a lot of chicken salad out of chicken shit at the QB position, even if it is a self made problem.

Send him to Washington and see if EB can make him into the 2nd coming of Mahomes as he was made out to be...

I rip Ratface Jr all the time for this.

Bottom line is when push has come to shove and the franchise has had big decisions to make at the QB position, Ratface has shit the bed each and every time. He's done it twice to this team.

He's a fine coach. Maybe even a great coach. But he's sure as hell not a QB whisperer like so many people think he is.

Lance to Baltimore, you heard it from me first

OR: Lance just sucks that bad.

i think I agree. Shanahan seems to actively eschew even the idea of acquiring a truly great-elite QB. It's like he hates great QBs. He seems to want average more than anything.

His system covers up the flaws of QBs pretty well, they don't have to do too much but it also limits them to quite a degree.

No.

**** off with that galaxy brain, 5D chess bullshit.

I think he wants consistent, predictable, repeatable.

I think he'd be happy with a Brady, but has no interest in anything that goes other than exactly as he draws it up

Pretty much how it reads to me as well. QBs that have the ability to create and/or throw into those 2nd-3rd windows aren't on his menu. he wants his QB to execute the play exactly as he drew it up, or get out of town.

They whiffed on Kinlaw and Reuben Foster too.

True, although I think the actual whiff there was trading Buckner in the first place. Don't extend Ford and they have the money to keep him.

Broncos should pick him up. He can join the long list of fail QBs following Horse Face.

The funny thing is that this is Mahomes’ fault. The 49ers could have had Mahomes but didn’t take him and fans there still lament this. With Lance getting comps to Mahomes in some aspects of his game and potential they over corrected massively so they didn’t miss the next Mahomes.

Also, Micah Parsons, went at the pick that the 49ers traded out of so they could move up for Lance. They really have screwed themselves by not being able to figure out the QB.

They aren't most likely because of Purdy. When you can get a potentially solid starter with the Mr. Irrelevant pick, you get a little more room for error. Still a lot for a guy they thought would be their Mahomes.

Dude was never going to be good. I watched him enough in college to know.

Guy played two years of football after middle school, none in FBS, and the 49ers gave all that up for him. It's easily in the running for worst move ever, and it never made sense at any point.

I’m thinking Dungver, Paidaton already knows EmbaRuss is cooked. Lance could be a reclamation project, and can take over when Russett gets injured or benched! Do it PaysATon!

That's exactly it in that it's a self made problem. How many QB's got hurt last year in his system? All the QB's got wiped out in his system. He leaves his QB's exposed.

Lance could still develop but he needs the right situation (again lol).

Washington
Seattle
Miami
Chicago

All seem like spots that could work. Guess it depends on the compensation.

I was just talking about this with some guys on Reddit. It’s crazy to think about what that team could be with all those picks.

They should have both barrels fired daily. What they gave up for this puke is incredible.

Team Doctor might have something to say about that.

May not be in support of their UDFA, it may be that Lance is just unplayable and they're liquidating before there is any more tape on him.

As well you should. The fact that he is a QB whisperer is the sole reason he hasn't gone the way of the Chan Gailey or Cam Carmeron's of the world. His base level of competency has led to a hubris that limits his capacity to be truly effective.

I read somewhere that the play that got Purdy killed in the NFCCG, the DE was blocked 1 on 1 with no help by a TE (Don't care enough to rewatch and verify). Best DL in the league. Singled up on a TE? That is incomprehensibly stupid. Sure, his base level of competency did not let him see that it is ****ing DUMB to not be conservative with 1 passer on the roster. Yes, you can create favorable matchups if you leave a DE singled up on your TE. You can also dead your QB and lose the NFCCG.

Shanahanarat Jr is a smart son of a bitch. He's also a dumb ****ing son of a bitch.

10/10 pun.

They wanted to draft the next Mahomes. Peer pressure.

Yes. Awesome.

That’s Elway level incompetence with picking QB’s.

I don't even think that was the case.

I think they wanted ol' McCorkle and did something really stupid by trading up to lock it in and changed face when everyone made fun of that possibility.

They really ****ed that decision up.

that trade up has to be one of the biggest **** ups in NFL history. And they are still a contender which makes the **** up even worse because drafting quality players with all of those 1st round picks they gave up probably could have put them over the hump in the playoffs.

Being a contender makes these epic **** ups even WORSE because it's preventing them from getting over the hump.

Solomon Thomas
Lance
Trading Buckner



Oof...

I’m all for this. He’s only 23.

Then the price just went up to a first!

I am glad that my favorite football team is the Kansas City Chiefs and we are past the days when we would be glad to get a San Francisco 49ers re-tread QB.

my GOD just thinking about Carl trying to sell us on the talented young man Trey Lance who is in the best shape of his life and found a home in KC just kill me

Hell no. Carl wouldn’t even use one first round pick on a QB. Let alone 3.

Nah Lance is to young and unproven, Carl would have been all in on Kirk Cousins.

If Lance were actually really good instead of really bad and the 49ers were actually sticking with him, Carl would be all in on Brock Purdy.

But not before he would have tried to snag a deal for Jimmy G

Theres at least one 49er beat writer that claims what you say be true at least as far as Shanahan goes. That Shanahan was all in on McCorkle and someone else within the org made the push for Lance before the draft. Either way still a horrendous decision as McCorkle would have at least been serviceable but would have never lived up to the compensation given up.

I am genuinely interested to see how much a team will give up for a guy who lost out to Mr. Irrelevant and a failed journeyman former Top 5 pick.

Nevermind, changing my vote to Jimmy G also. That's a Marty and Carl guy all over.

Handing it off to Jamaal Williams, who they absolutely trade with the Lions for and running it up the middle all day. Jimmy G and his 2300 yards and 19 touchdowns is signing autographs at Price Chopper and we're eating it up.

Most GM’s/HC’s would be fired for the Lance epic fail, but Lynch/Rat Jr. have survived by winning.

West Coast Daniel Snyders

Traded to the Cowboys for a 4th.

“Bench Dak and start Lance?”

Coming to First Take every day.

I’ve seen Get Out. I know exactly what Jerry Jones is planning

Straight to CP when I heard he was traded to the bundle of sticksboys

Lynch trades multiple 1st's for Lance one year and hits on Purdy with the Mr. Irrelevant pick a year later. What a lucky bastard.

Cowboys often get players with question marks but they do want talent.

Jerry Jones now has an option behind Dak if things don't work out this year.

We will see how Purdy works out.

Prescott Lance, sounds like a vaginal wart surgical procedure

He would have been getting ready for the game..then .....BOOM. Hey Lantz, hop the next Jet to Dallas. You've been traded.

One parent is a small college professor.

Dak gets benched by week 6

Hopefully he gets the 49ers to the Superbowl against us so he can lose like Jimmy G.

It’s far too early to say he hit on Purdy. It seems just as possible that he got infatuated with a lucky schedule driven win streak by Purdy that cost him abandoning what was obviously a project in Lance.

Yep.

Shanahan loves himself some Shanahan.

He loves system QBs that run it the way he wants, good robots.

That's fine to a point but in the end you need talent to win and Purdy will always be arm limited.

Robots that will take hits he exposes them to and then everyone is shocked when they’re on IR

Sounds like a guy before him that lost a Superbowl.....
