Without question, the most common thing people say when they are explaining why Trey Lance might not (or should not) be the starting quarterback next year is, “he’s not ready.” It’s a phrase that has been uttered by many an NFL analyst and fan alike since he was drafted last year. One prominent voice cutting against that narrative, however, is Hall of Famer Steve Young.
As long as the 49ers continue to hold on to Jimmy Garoppolo and refuse to declare Trey Lance the starting quarterback publicly, they provide fuel to takes like this one from Peter King on The Herd yesterday.
