The 49ers' offense is in a much better place than the last time Trey Lance was thrust into duty The rookie could still have a major impact on the season if he starts in Week 17, says ConorOrr
In Trey Lance’s first and only start of the season, he dropped back on a first-and-10 at his own 35-yard line at the end of the first quarter and faked a handoff against a four-man Cardinals front that had added an extra blitzing defender just before the snap.
The result was a pocket of space about seven yards wide on either side of the receiver. All Lance had to do was put a little touch on a pass and create, with little effort, a 26-yard gain.Lance, the No. 3 pick in the 2021 draft and the least-frequently-used first-round rookie quarterback from this year’s class,with Jimmy Garoppolo recovering from a chipped bone and ligament damage in the thumb on his throwing hand.
Garoppolo has been better than expected this year. A composite of completion percentage over expectation and expected points added per snap, behind only Aaron Rodgers and Joe Burrow. Garoppolo’s CPOE is higher than that of Matt Stafford, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. Based on his current contract structure, it makes no sense for the 49ers to get rid of him before the 2022 season, unless they’re blown away by a trade offer.
