If a preseason game is too fast for a player, then it’s evident that he’s not ready to start. For Trey Lance, that looked like the case out of the gate against the Raiders. As the game went along, Lance looked more comfortable and commanding the offense. The best quarterback on the field was rookie Aiden O’Connell, and it wasn’t particularly close.
But there was plenty to be desired offensively, from the quarterback to the offensive line. Unfortunately for Trey, the 49ers aren’t in a position to give Lance the time he needs to learn the ropes.
