Los San Francisco 49ers have a dilemma on their hands. Or rather, one of his quarterbacks is facing a problem as to what will happen in his NFL career. Trey Lance went from being a future project with the gambusinos, to a failed bet that he would even have to fight to remain on the roster as a substitute.
In San Francisco’s preseason opener, Lance completed 10 of his 15 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown.the only one his team scored in a 34-7 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
It was in the second quarter when the Niners they tied the match 7-7, but he mightn’t do more: Trey was sacked four times and found himself under constant pressure from the Raiders’ defense.
Also, in that pass, Lance was saved from being intercepted by Duke Shelley. In that sense, the launch might well have been expensive.
What will happen to the starting quarterback job?
OK with what was seen in the last training sessions, Brock Purdy seems to have everything to keep the starting position, which he achieved late last season when Jimmy Garoppolo (now in Las Vegas) was injured.
The rookie, Mr. Irrelevant of the 2022 Draft (that is, the last selection of his class in the recruitment), managed to lead the Niners to the National Conference Championship Game, where they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles (31-7) and in which Purdy left at halftime following injuring his right elbow. Although he is not expected to play the preseason, his evolution has been favorable, so it is not unreasonable to think that he will play once morest the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 10.

With this scenario, Lance will have to fight with Sam Darnold (newcomer from Carolina Panthers) for the position of second quarterback. Everything indicates that Purdy will be the starter for San Francisco.
Uncertain destiny
With one of the most talented rosters in the NFL, hethe San Francisco 49ers are alongside the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals the favorite teams to win Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. In that sense, it doesn’t seem like Bay Bay would want to risk giving Lance another chance if he doesn’t show what he accomplished.
Los Niners they bet big on him in 2021. For starters, the Houston Texans traded first- and second-round picksa 2020 first-round pick, as well as offensive tackle Julien Davenport and defensive back Johnson Bademosi to Miami for wide receiver Kenny Stills, offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, a sixth-round pick, and a fourth-round pick In addition, San Francisco traded with Miami and earned the third overall pick in exchange for their first-round picks in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and their third-round pick in 2022, picking the North Dakota State graduate.
In his first season he played six games, two of them as a starter, in which he had 603 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions (41-71 in completions). However, he was unable to continue as he suffered a finger injury.
In 2022 he was given the opportunity to start, although he lost to the Chicago Bears (19-10) and then broke his ankle once morest the Seattle Seahawks, with which he was practically out for most of the season and Jimmy G resumed ownership. Even when Garoppolo got hurt, it was Purdy who took the starting job and shocked everyone, reducing Lance’s chances of trying out for the Niners.
In that sense, Trey now aspires to remain with the 49ers as a backup over Darnold, wait to be given a chance due to injury (as happened with Purdy) or even demonstrate his level to try to be traded to another team that is interested in his services. A complicated scenario for the pitcher.
