There has been a ton of noise recently about 49ers quarterback Trey Lance and how he will pan out at the NFL level. Given the eye-popping amount of doubt I’ve seen about Lance, I thought it would be good to get the opinion of someone who has firsthand experience being a part of an organization making the transition to a young signal-caller.
I spoke with a scout for the Buffalo Bills, who gave me a bit of insight into what he witnessed during the growth of Josh Allen from year one to where he is now. While I don’t think Allen and Lance are a perfect comparison by any means, I believe there are enough similarities, particularly from a physical measurable standpoint, to have a discussion.
