Oh, We Can Just Say WHATEVER We Want About Trey Lance Now

Trey Lance was selected no. 3 overall in 2021. He’s 23 years old. And he’s only thrown 102 career passes but this offseason, he has become a punching bag. For a guy who’s barely had a chance to play due to season-ending injuries, people sure seem comfortable talking about him like he’s the worst quarterback in the history of history.

“When his momma lifted him from the crib, he just didn’t have that quarterback instinct.” Let’s gooooo. Mask off. Roast this kid alive.

Every so often the media declares open season on a first-round draft pick where everyone can all freely talk about that player in the most disrespectful way possible and we’re all kind of just okay with it.

The media puts expectations on players and then clowns the shit out of those players when they don’t reach those expectations. Then it obviously trickles down into the fans to the point where we all have the green light to dunk on them. Ask someone you know about Ben Simmons. They will go on the most disrespectful rant you’ve ever heard as if Ben Simmons keyed their car and DMed their mother or something.

Trey Lance has now entered this zone despite never getting an opportunity to prove himself. He has always had to split rips with Jimmy G, Brock Purdy and now Sam Darnold—3 quarterbacks who 1000% need all the practice reps they can get—and now Lance is being punished for Kyle Shanahan’s refusal to commit to him.

It sucks for Lance but shrug.

Let’s dogpile on him before he gets phased out of the league in a few years after San Fran inevitably cuts him and then he goes through that cycle of getting random contracts for a week and then cut again until he vanishes from existence like Josh Rosen.

When Trey Lance was born his mom looked at him, turned to the doctor and said “he is going to be a terrible quarterback”. Am I doing this right? Trey Lance is a bitch who can’t throw footballs very well.

I will take my NFL media credentials now.
