I think EVERYONE, including Shanny have been pleasantly surprised by how well Lance has asserted himself this early in his first TC. But at the end of the day, this was always going to come down who gives us the best chance to succeed THIS year. So in essence, it's up to Trey to make it obvious that it's him.

J-ALL-DAY Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Quote Which is to say, yes, Shanahan would feel comfortable playing matchup ball with his QBs. “Yeah, I do,” he continued. “And the hardest thing is articulating it to you guys. Which I get. But I really try to keep as simple as what gives us the best chance right now to win. And I think our players trust that I’m like that. I think our quarterbacks trust that I’m like that. You can disagree, but it’s hard to take it personally when it’s like that. I hope we’ve got the right guys, the right team, and if they both keep getting better; it should be a good problem for me.” From Breer's article. I'm sorry, but I don't think this is a good idea at all. Matchup ball? Nah, pick one and ride it out with that QB and if it is Jimmy, sprinkle in some Lance for certain plays....But going with both QBs half the game or even starting one in certain games and not the others? That sounds like a terrible idea. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand giving Lance a whole series or two and seeing how that plays out but going swap each game or even like you said half the game is just asking for trouble.

J-ALL-DAY Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Quote “Trey’s the most detailed guy I’ve ever worked with,” Avery says. “It’s a challenge to coach him because he’s such a perfectionist. He wants to be right every time.” Quote So Beck—who played quarterback for Shanahan in Washington—helped Lance continue to build the requisite muscle memory, so things that were overly mechanical in the spring would become more reactionary in how he executed the offense the staff was teaching him. “He’s such a smart kid,” Beck says. “You give him a coaching point and it just makes sense to him. He gets it and he wants it. It all comes back to how Trey’s working.” This is a common theme from everyone that spends time with Trey. Saturday can't come soon enough! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being with the second team OL does nothing since even the great throws would be sacks. Glad to read someone is pumping the brakes on starting Lance so early this season. Not so glad to read that my Sooner alum Tony Jefferson isn't doing so well.... 🥺 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You quite literally said "the threat of it may work better than the actual play could", which is what I was commenting on. It's no different than a screen pass or a 9 route. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Nobody is talking about suddenly making this the GT triple option. Also, you're talking out of both sides of your mouth when you say that you ostensibly say you don't think the *play* is effective, but then adding that it's good to mix in every now and again Did I? Am I? Sorry. Not at all enamored with the option. I prefer Bill Walsh's style and all that has fallen or grown from that tree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Lombardi is a little too rose colored glasses for me, I will admit. At least at times. He can definitely be too much of a Jimmy apologist, but he's not nearly as bad as the truly anti Jimmy people would have you believe.

LIS, we have one of the worst beats out there. But looks like there are some good people to follow that don't have agendas such as Posey and Jordan. I have enjoyed listening and reading up on their articles. Grant is just so disingenuous that you can't take him serious. Lombardi will live and die off the words of Shanahan and any advanced stats that fit his agenda...Then the rest are just MEH for the most part. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
