The stupidity coming out of Niners media coverage has reached a level of only matched by national political media.
Trey Lance has started 3 games as an NFL QB and he has 3 first time starters - two with one NFL start - in front of him at LG, C, RG. Moreover, Lance only played one season in college.
Lance needs to start 4 straight games before he can really be judged, but even then, it’s going to take a couple years to see his true ability. If Garoppolo starts ahead of him, that timeline will be further delayed.
If the rest of the team was great and Lance was responsible for losing, then maybe there is an argument to be made he isn’t ready. The team around him was not great in week 1. Singling out Lance as the reason for losing is only credible when that is the case.
