49ers legend talks what’s wrong with Trey Lance

San Francisco 49ers legend and Professional Soccer Corridor of Famer Steve Younger touched upon what could also be ailing third-year quarterback Trey Lance this summer season. 

“I believe what’s occurred is he is now squeezed, the place each throw is a referendum on whether or not he is any good or not as a result of he does not have loads of school and even professional cash within the financial institution,” Younger stated about Lance throughout an look on San Francisco sports activities radio station KNBR, per David Bonilla of 49ers WebZone. “Not literal cash, however simply the power to sort of exit and play and present folks what [he] can do. And so there’s all this expectation and aspiration and worry and nervousness…” 

Lance produced an outing to forget on this previous Sunday’s 34-7 preseason loss on the Las Vegas Raiders, and it is now believed free-agency signing Sam Darnold is on monitor to function San Francisco’s main backup behind starter Brock Purdy when the 49ers start the common season on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 10. 

Whereas head coach Kyle Shanahan praised Lance on Wednesday for the way the younger quarterback is dealing with criticism lobbed his means, there is no denying the 23-year-old’s future with the group is up within the air. 

“And impulsively, you are not free, you are not relaxed, you are urgent, and also you’re urgent each throw, and impulsively, you are late for a throw, and then you definately’ll get sacked, and also you go down,” Younger added about Lance through the interview. “You are like, ‘Holy crap, what number of unhealthy issues can occur?’ So that you get into a foul spot.”

Together with this previous January’s NFC Championship Sport, the 49ers misplaced three completely different beginning quarterbacks to vital harm setbacks throughout contests final season. That is a serious cause people reminiscent of 49ers insider Tim Kawakami of The Athletic suppose the membership will carry three signal-callers on the Week 1 roster subsequent month. 

With that stated, Lance most likely might be San Francisco’s third-choice possibility on the place, and it is doubtless Shanahan is hoping the 2021 first-round draft choose performs properly sufficient on this Saturday’s exhibition recreation in opposition to the Denver Broncos to trigger a would-be purchaser to not less than contemplate taking a flier on the venture for the long run.
