QB Trey Lance, SF (1 Viewer)

1 QB leagues

One league where I have Fields/ Lance, I traded for Purdy. Just makde sense. The idea that I have to roster Darnold as a fourth roster spot to make sure I have a single backup QB is just a world-class Shanahan situation. I won't do it. When I saw the news that it might be Darnold, I lold. Fantastic. Just the best.

The league I have TLaw/ Murray/Pickett I feel like I'm playing with house money. Part of why I adopted the team.

My third team had Murray/Mayfield and a pu-pu platter of backups, I swung a trade for Purdy then flipped him for Geno. I'd like rostering Purdy straight up over Lance by a long shot but the idea of counting on either one just seems like a recipe for pain.

If Lance starts the season, it will be because Shanahan thinks he is the better option over Darnold or Purdy. If he does start the season, the 49ers are not going 0-4. Not with the team they have.

I would think if they went 0-2, and if it was because Lance wasn’t getting it done, Darnold would be given a shot, assuming Purdy wasn’t ready.

If Purdy is ready I don’t see how he doesn’t get his job back.

I know you're a SF fan and had some shares of Lance so you're as burned out as I am..

But if Lance lights up camp and Purdy's arm takes longer to recover than expected or he's lost enough to where it's hard for him to do his job (not like he had a cannon to begin with so losing a little might actually make a difference) it's not inconceivable for Lance to win the game 1 nod and never look back. I don't think it's likely but it's not like the kid isn't talented. I'd put this as like a 20% chance.

I traded my single share of Lance for a 2024 2nd (start 1 QB) in a league where the Purdy owner was completely unresponsive. Felt pretty magnificent to be rid of the mystery box that is Lance.

In a different league (start 1 QB), I own Purdy and that team is both not competing and does not need QB help. I think it's likely I'll trade Purdy as well, but am waiting until he's back to starting to try to maximize value. And if Purdy never starts again, oh well, he was a waiver wire pickup anyway.

I never said it wasn’t.

But the fact remains that Darnold is a more experienced QB.

Lance physical gifts, work ethic, determination are all unquestioned.

I just don’t know if the dude can play football.

Not that Darnold is Tom Brady, but he’s seen enough game action and showed spurts of competence on otherwise incompetent teams.

As others have said, this would be the best situation Darnold has ever been in since he became a pro. It would not shock me in the slightest to see him beat out Lance for the “seat-warmer” job if Purdy isn’t ready.

I agree if Lance manages to beat out Darnold, that would be a significant development & all bets are off from there.

But the 49ers are all about winning football games. They’re gonna go with the dude who gives them the best chance to do that.

And right now it’s likely Darnold >> Lance

This is what i think...Lance of course starts (unless he looks terrible in the preseason) and then if he is the cause of a slow start over two games i suspect the leash gets pulled on him.

At the end of the day all Shanny & Co care about is winning.

Leashes will be extremely short. The only player who’s earned a longer leash is the one recovering from elbow surgery.

Lance / Darnold haven’t earned a thing.

Man...I had so many FFPC shares of Lance last season as I thought he was undervalued...that didn't work out well.

Yeah, I had a lot of shares of him in 1 QB leagues, not to mention in sports cards, a pretty substantial stack of his rookies, that I'm about to set on fire in less than 6 months. Haha. Dems da breaks.

Same, he was my most drafted QB. Felt great about it, like he was my ace in the hole with respect to I did not sweat if I got a stud QB early because I felt like I could just get him a little later. Paired him with Aiyuk on a ton of teams as well and I think that was a budding connection. Losing him for the season was obviously tough but just the hole he put teams in with the week one monsoon game and early exit the next week. In a 12 week regular season where half the playoffs are determined by points it was tough being about 50'ish off the pace of a lot of teams after two weeks just at the QB position.

Still don't think we'd have been wrong if he had not gotten injured.

Completely on point. He certainly isn't without potential value for this season. He is still a sneaky pick again amongst those in the know. We just have no idea if he gets the starting nod.

I was thinking of pursuing Lance via trade in my 1 QB dynasty league, but I already have Josh Allen and couldn't pass up on Anthony Richardson at 1.6 in the rookie draft last month.

I acquired Lance and the 2.10 for Freiermuth in a dynasty ppr non-te prem league. I only had Goff at QB. I thought, what the hell, do it in case Lance becomes something.

I just cannot believe that Darnold will beat out Lance in camp. Even if it's somewhat close the 49ers will go with Lance. Lance would lose alot of trade value and I still think Shanny gives him one more chance. Just my opinion.
