This is his 3rd year so, who knows? I don't think its a NFL secret that he's a bust.@StickyBun said:
I would be shocked if they cut him loose it would reflect on probably the worst draft trade-up ever and no will want to own up to it@minny65 said:
Saw that, and all the 24 year old internet podcaster football 'expert's are back on the bandwagon, lmao. What ever way the wind is blowing. Lance's trade value is now 0%.....they either hang on to him for some reason or cut him loose. I can't imagine they want him backing up Purdy.@minny65 said:
For some reason I watched the 49'ers/Raiders preseason game. 4th round pick Aiden O'Connell (Purdue) vs Trey Lance. Aiden was in command like a veteran from the very first snap and was 14-18 with 2 or 3 drop passes by his receivers. Lance did not see the field and was under pressure and sacked because he did not go through progressions and would try to run. Lance did the same in college which is why I ranked him last of the top QB's that draft.
Back to O'Connell, I don't remember a rookie QB who played that well along with second and third string players. Impressive 4th round pick. Just one preseason game but he showed he can play in the NFL. Quick decisions, accurate and went to second and third reads. Lance had a better game yesterday, but it was against 3rd quarter players as opposed to first last week so kinda grain of salt
Watched O'Connell again he played like a first rounder again - 2 nice TD throws. I think he has a chance to be a better Mac Jones (both statues) and he is my non-viking preseason rookie of the year candidate
