Trey Lance

I’ve been screaming it I believe he’ll be the best quarterback taken in this draft Trevor included.

I found it odd we were never that interested. Didn’t even attend his 2nd Pro Day. I guess it just goes to show how confident we are in Darnold…

Not sure that's what it means. There was no chance he'd be there at 8.

He finished the day 5 of 14 for 128 yards and 1 TD. Also took 4 sacks. After the 80 yard play there wasn’t much to celebrate there.

Three receiver drops fwiw.  I'd say, a lot of promise there, but not ready to start yet.  Soon though, imo.

SF trolling the entire league into thinking they traded up to 3 to get Mac Jones is so impressive in retrospect.

A lot of promise. He needs reps! He's going to be a beast after all is said and done.

I don't think that's what it was at all.  We didn't even exercise his option until after the draft...  so they weren't confident in him.  

What it is starting to appear like, is that Rhule - depending on how Darnold pans out - either doesn't know how to evaluate the QB position, or he doesn't value it.  Many here stated over and over again that letting Cam finish out his last year of his contract was preferred over releasing him and signing a mediocre game manager to a 60M contract, and yet, he chose Bridgewater.  Depending on that Washington game (after Bridgewater singlehandedly lost enough games on the last drive to knock us out of playoff contention), we likely could've had our pick of Lance or Fields...  

Again, hoping for the best, but I have never believed in Darnold.  He has had some good throws in camp, but again, at best, the reviews have been mixed and indicate inconsistency just as he demonstrated in NY.  And if we go through a second season of mediocre QB play, it will be pretty evident that Rhule feels like you can take shortcuts with QB if the rest of the team is well put together - and that just isn't true.  Again, I hope Darnold plays well, but I don't believe in him at all.

Yup, Lance was my draft crush, but it was not to be.  He going to prove a lot of people wrong.  I still think it's hilarious that some people thought he'd fall to the back half of round 1.

So what this tells me is that even if Sam plays out of his mind, you still won't believe in him.

Are you going to be one of those fans who credits the other players and not the QB?

I mean... considering who was the QB before, I guess I shouldn't blame you but still...

Why watch at all then?

Actually it made no sense at all. 

Lawrence as #1, Wilson was #2.  Jax wasn't coming off of #1 and NYJ weren't coming off #2 so it didn't matter who they said they were going to take.  Jones, Lance or Peter Pan it wouldn't have matter because no one could trade above them for Lance. 

Nothing but a side show and F with the mock draft gurus.

I watched all of Trey Lance's snaps against KC. He played poorly for the most part. Teams with rookie QBs this season will have it rough imo.

Except all the people who for some reason we're convinced they were trading up for Mac Jones. That was one strong rumor I never bought.

Yeah, because Jones’ pro day hadn’t happened yet. They weren’t trading up to get a guy they hadn’t seen.

How have they trolled the league? They spent 3 1st round picks to get there.

They could have told the league they were taking ANYONE besides Lawrence and Wilson. It wouldn't have mattered, the rest of the NFL couldn't do anything about it.
