In a twist that has caught the league off guard, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> have pulled off a significant trade by acquiring <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance">Trey Lance</a> from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a>. This trade was very unexpected especially due to the destination where the quarterback landed.



The 49ers decided to move on from Trey Lance after only two years, a resolution prompted by him falling behind <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy">Brock Purdy</a> and Sam Darnold in the 49ers’ depth chart. Therefore, they wanted to make sure to get something in return while he was still a valuable asset.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230824#BUS#51978"></div>


Dallas weren’t considered a potential new team for Lance, but they didn’t hesitate in taking a chance on this young player with a high ceiling. Despite he’s going to start below <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott">Dak Prescott</a> and backup Cooper Rush, the team plans to have him as the second choice in the near future.



<h2>Three More Teams Were Reportedly Interested in Trey Lance</h2>



Initially, both head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch had stated their intention to keep Lance on the roster. However, they parted ways with the player a day after stating that was their desire.



The Cowboys secured the winning bid by offering the 49ers a 2024 fourth-round draft pick, making it impossible for San Francisco to avoid trading Lance to the AFC as they wanted. They were so excited by the offer that they also declined the interest of at least three teams.



As reported by Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Buffalo Bills</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Baltimore Ravens</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions">Detroit Lions</a> were involved in trade talks. This report also suggested that the offers were mostly a sixth-round pick that could become a fifth, so the Cowboys had the best offering.



<h2>What Is Trey Lance’s Record as a Starter?</h2>



Trey Lance’s record as starter is 2-2, despite playing a total of eight games in his career with the 49ers.

The&nbsp;Dallas Cowboys&nbsp;haven’t won a&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a>&nbsp;in almost three decades. Last season, the team failed once more in the playoffs against the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a>. Even with an improved defense,&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dak Prescott</a>&nbsp;couldn’t deliver. That might have started the silent search of a new franchise quarterback. 



It’s a decision which has to be considered as the NFC East will be one of the toughest divisions. Jalen Hurts led the&nbsp;Eagles&nbsp;to the&nbsp;Super Bowl and now has a better roster, the&nbsp;Giants&nbsp;are on a great rebuilding process under&nbsp;Brian Daboll&nbsp;and Washington&nbsp;could improve thanks to the arrival of&nbsp;Eric Bieniemy&nbsp;as offensive coordinator.

Now, the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a>&nbsp;could have triggered a new chapter in team’s history. One of the greatest prospects in the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>&nbsp;has joined them after a very controversial stint with the 49ers. 



<h2>Brock Purdy talks about Trey Lance’s trade to the Cowboys</h2>



Last season, rookie Brock Purdy surprisingly emerged as the quarterback of the future for the San Francisco 49ers. After Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo got injured, head coach Kyle Shanahan found his man.


 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230415#CMS#0012"></div>


However, Purdy had to deal with an elbow injury in the NFC Championship Game and no one knew for sure if he was going to be ready for the 2023 season. It seemed the prefect chance for Trey Lance to get redemption.



Then, something happened during preseason. Lance couldnt perform well and, as a consequence, the former quarterback of North Dakota State fell to the No.3 spot in the depth chart behind Purdy and Sam Darnold.



This Friday, Trey Lance was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a fourth-round pick. That’s why, after the shocking news, Brock Purdy had a special message for his teammate.



“Yes. Obviously, I love Trey. Everything that he’s done for this organization and obviously for myself. Going in last year and then him just being by my side from the get-go sideline, meetings in the locker room, wherever we are at, man, he’s been a real one and helped me come into the league and welcome me with open arms and showed me the ropes to this whole thing.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230811#BUS#44635"></div>


Purdy believes Lance could be a great asset for the Dallas Cowboys. “I can’t tell you how grateful I am for him and to have him in my life. Obviously, in terms of the situation, I’m happy for him that he’s able to go into a good situation and we all feel like it’s a good fit. At the end of the day, I can’t say how thankful I am to have played and been a teammate with Trey.

Brock Purdy's heartfelt message for Trey Lance after Cowboys' trade - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> had a big decision to make for the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season with a stacked quarterback room. In the end, the team decided to keep Brock Purdy as QB1, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sam-darnold">Sam Darnold</a> as backup. That left <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance">Trey Lance</a> in a tough spot.



The Niners gave up a lot to get the North Dakota State product with the third-overall pick in 2021, but things didn’t go to plan. Lance couldn’t win the job in his rookie year, and an injury ended his season prematurely in 2022.



Now, everyone expects the team to find a new home for the third-year quarterback. According to Adam Schefter, the 49ers want the best for Lance, which is why they won’t demand too much in a potential trade. Instead, they just want to send him where they believe he could shine.



<h2>Rumor: 49ers want to find team that helps Lance succeed</h2>



“I think what happens is the 49ers look to see if they can find a home for him,” Schefter said on ESPN. “They’re not looking for very much. They honestly, truly would like to put him in a situation where he can shine, where he can excel because they do believe he has made improvements.



” … they’re looking to put Trey Lance essentially up for adoption. Who wants to adopt him and put him in a nice home where they’re going to raise him the right way and he’s going to get some work?”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230825#BUS#52188"></div>


This would certainly be a class act by the Niners. They know Lance still has his entire career ahead of him, and they don’t want to harm him. Just because things aren’t meant to be in the Bay area that doesn’t mean they don’t want the best for him.

NFL Trade Rumors: What the 49ers want for Trey Lance

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> made a significant move that included two first-round picks to move from the 12th to the 3rd spot to draft Trey Lance. However, the decision made in 2021 now seems like a total disaster for how everything developed.



Injuries have turned into the main reason behind Lance’s inability to prove his potential to be a successful quarterback. He has played only eight games in his career so far, with a disappointing record of 2-2 as a starter.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230823#BUS#51358"></div>


Recent events around the 49ers added more obstacles to Lance’s situation. Coach Kyle Shanahan decided to name Sam Darnold as the official QB2, leaving the young passed further down the list in the depth chart. With a trade potentially looming, John Lynch addressed the possibility.



<h2>John Lynch Denies Lance Is Getting Traded</h2>



Right after Shanahan named Darnold as the backup quarterback, rumors about a potential trade escalated more than usual. Since Brock Purdy was confirmed for the starting job, Lance’s future has been uncertain.



Amid reports suggesting the 49ers have been shopping Lance, Lynch dismissed such claims, as he also went a step further discussing the quarterback’s position on the roster. During an interview on “Murph &amp; Mac” on KNBR, he said: “The most likely option is that he’s here”.



Lynch provided context to Lance’s reaction becoming QB3: “Trey handled it incredibly well, with class. He was devastated and rightly so. When you put your heart and soul into something and it doesn’t come to fruition you’re going to be devastated and that’s the type of competitor he is”.



<h2>When Was Trey Lance Drafted?</h2>

In a very surprising turn of events, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> named <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sam-darnold" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sam Darnold</a> the team’s QB2 ahead of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trey Lance</a>. Now, HC Kyle Shanahan has opened up on moving on from their former 3rd overall pick.



After Week 2 of the 2023 NFL preseason, the 49ers made the decision to name <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brock Purdy</a> the starting quarterback. Behind the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Brock-Purdy-2022-NFL-Mr.-Irrelevant-Age-height-college-and-net-worth-20221204-0047.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2022 Mr. Irrelevant</a> will be Sam Darnold, who surprised everybody in the team since his arrival a few months ago.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230824#BUS#51689"></div>


However, this decision has had a ripple effect on the team’s roster. Trey Lance has been relegated to the QB3 spot, and it is now clear that San Francisco will attempt to trade him to regain some of the picks they gave away for him in 2021.



<h2>Kyle Shanahan’s honest take on why he preferred Sam Darnold over Trey Lance</h2>



It seems like the competition was not between Brock Purdy and Trey Lance, but rather with the latter and Sam Darnold. On Wednesday, the 49ers announced their season starter, and their former 3rd overall pick didn’t even appear in the picture.



Sam Darnold was signed earlier this year due to injuries to Purdy and Lance, as the 49ers were unsure if both quarterbacks would be healthy enough to start the season. However, he impressed everyone, which is why they decided to offer him the backup role.



A day after this significant announcement, Kyle Shanahan decided to speak to the media about this matter. The head coach shared some insights into how he handled the situation with Lance and why he preferred Darnold over him.



“We gave [Lance] a big chance to win that 2-spot this year … it was a very tough fight, but in the long run, Sam ended up winning it,” Shanahan said Wednesday, via The Athletic. The head coach also pointed out that injuries have prevented Lance from fully developing his talent.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230823#BUS#51358"></div>


Those words make one thing very clear: the 49ers had a clear plan that Purdy was going to be the starter, and the real uncertainty was regarding his backup. Now, they will need to find a team willing to trade for Lance, but his injuries could pose a significant challenge in attracting interest from potential clubs.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trey Lance</a> received the worst news possible about his career. On Wednesday, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> named him the QB3 behind <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brock Purdy</a> and Sam Darnold, so now he will have to find a new landing spot to play the 2023 NFL season.



The 49ers started the day with some really surprising news by naming Sam Darnold the backup quarterback of Brock Purdy. Of course, this erases Trey Lance from the picture, as he won’t stay in the team as QB3.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230823#BUS#51358"></div>


According to several reports, the 49ers tried to trade Lance a few months ago, but didn’t find a team interested in him. Now, they have to find a new landing spot for their former first round pick ahead of the upcoming campaign.



<h2>Which are Trey Lance’s possible landing spots?</h2>



It is too soon for Trey Lance to have offer on the table. However, there are two teams in the NFC which could be interested in him: the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vikings</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rams</a>. Both clubs have veteran quarterbacks, so bringing a young player to backup their starters could make sense.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230822#BUS#50431"></div>


<h2>Why was Trey Lance relegated to the QB3 spot?</h2>



The 49ers obviously have not revealed the reason why, but Trey Lance’s health could be one. In two seasons with San Francisco, the former North Dakota State player has only played eight games (four of them as starter) due to injuries, and they definitely don’t want an unstable quarterback.

The competition between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trey Lance</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brock Purdy</a> has come to an end. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> have finally revealed who will be their starting quarterback for the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season, and even who is going to be the backup.



Last year, the 49ers struggled to keep their quarterbacks healthy. With Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo injured, Brock Purdy, the 2022 Mr. Irrelevant, took the team at the end of the campaign, and he really surprised everybody with his performances.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230821#BUS#49968"></div>


Purdy has impressed everybody, but there’s a reason why San Francisco traded up to get Trey Lance in the 2021 NFL Draft. Now, the team has decided who will lead the offense this year.



<h2>49ers select starting quarterback between Trey Lance and Brock Purdy</h2>



As the 2023 NFL season approaches, the final weeks of the preseason are crucial for determining both the 53-man roster and the starting lineup for the year. The 49ers have now solved a problem regarding the second matter.



At the end of the 2022 campaign, Brock Purdy’s exceptional performance raised questions among the team’s staff. He led the club to the NFC Championship Game, surprising everyone with his talent.



The 49ers faced a significant dilemma: whether to move on from Trey Lance or give him one more chance while benching Brock Purdy. Now, they have announced their starting quarterback for the year.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230822#BUS#50431"></div>


According to NFL Media, Sam Darnold is listed as the team’s No. 2 quarterback behind Brock Purdy, which completely erases Trey Lance from the picture. With this roster move, it seems like the 49ers will seek a trade for their former 3rd overall selection to recover some picks they gave away to get him.

For that reason, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> have added a new wide receiver to help their quarterback with his quest.



Last Year, Trey Lance started the season for the 49ers, but an injury ended his season earlier than expected. Brock Purdy took the team at the end of the campaign, and he did a really good job.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230821#BUS#50224"></div>


Even though Purdy’s performance shocked everybody, it seems like Lance will once again be the starter. The team wants him to succeed, so they have been adding several players to make it happen.



<h2>Trey Lance will have a new wide receiver for the 2023 NFL season</h2>



Trey Lance’s two-year tenure in the NFL has definitely been rough. He has only played eight games, with four of them as a starter and a record of 2-2. Injuries have kept him away from the fields, but it seems like this year will be different.



The 2021 3rd overall pick is ready to start the upcoming season. He must prove that he’s an elite quarterback, but the 49ers know that he can’t do it all by himself and have been adding more weapons to help him succeed.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230821#BUS#49968"></div>


Now, San Francisco has signed a new wide receiver for Lance. Anthony Miller has arrived to the Bay, joining a very talented group of wideouts. He arrives from Pittsburgh, when he only played had one reception for two yards in the only game he played with the Steelers.

Now, HC Kyle Shanahan has heated up this tough competition between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trey Lance</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brock Purdy</a>.



Last year, the 49ers had three different starting quarterbacks: Trey Lance, Brock Purdy, and Jimmy Garoppolo. The first two stayed in the team, but their injuries raised a lot of questions among fans.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230820#BUS#49812"></div>


The two quarterbacks have returned, and they both have played in the preseason. As of today, there’s no clear starter for the 2023 season, and Kyle Shanahan must make a decision soon.



<h2>Kyle Shanahan praises Brock Purdy; message for Trey Lance?</h2>



There’s not too much clarity nowadays in the Bay. The San Francisco 49ers must select their starting quarterback for th upcoming campaign, and the decision won’t be easy at all.



Even though most fans see Trey Lance as the clear starter, Brock Purdy’s performances have brought a lot of doubts. Kyle Shanahan sees the quality of the 2022 Mr. Irrelevant, and he really likes what the number 13 has brought to the team.



“I thought he did real good, all the plays that he had he made and I don’t think he had a bad one,” head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters about Purdy following the game against the Denver Broncos, per the team transcript.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230816#BUS#47608"></div>


These words may put more pressure on Trey Lance. The former first-round pick started last season, but Purdy’s performance in the second half of the campaign has intensified this competition.

49ers' HC heats up the competition between Trey Lance and Brock Purdy

LeSean McCoy took a very surprising shot at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance">Trey Lance</a> just when the young quarterback was preparing to become the starter for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> in the 2023 season. At that moment, no one knew what was coming.



“I don’t wanna see no more of Trey Lance. I’ve seen enough of him. I don’t want to hear about him. You know what’s sad? It’s really not his fault, because he doesn’t belong in the NFL. It’s not his fault. He shouldn’t be in the NFL as a starting quarterback.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230817#BUS#47862"></div>


McCoy, a former running back of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>, shocked the entire panel at FS1 when he talked about the quarterback who was fighting for the starting job with Brock Purdy. Then, the Cowboys’ trade happened.



<h2>LeSean McCoy wants Trey Lance out of the NFL</h2>



According to LeSean McCoy, Trey Lance is not the one to blame for his slow development in the NFL. In fact, the analyst believes general manager John Lynch and the 49ers had a lot to do with it.







“You watch him play? It’s not his fault. The front office should take more blame. They criticize the players all the time. You went out there and you traded the picks to go and get him. So, you thought he was that good. They should take more blame.”



LeSean McCoy had a point considering the 49ers named Trey Lance the No.3 quarterback in the depth chart behind Brock Purdy and Sam Darnold. That put him on the trading block and he ended with the Cowboys. So, San Francisco indeed got it wrong.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230511#CMS#0008"></div>


McCoy already explained why this possibility was real about Trey Lance. “When I look at Trey Lance, there’s nothing he does special. There’s nothing he does really really good. I thought he was a runner. I watched him last year. He’s no runner. I can’t tell if his arm is strong. He doesn’t show me enough. He should be part of a G-league.”

LeSean McCoy maybe was 'right' about 49ers and Trey Lance - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance">Trey Lance</a> has been playing for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49er</a>s since 2021, but so far he has started just four games with a 2-2 record. He was injured last season, but now that he is healthy, there are still doubts about whether he will be the backup quarterback (QB2) or starter in the upcoming regular season.



However, Trey Lance still needs to be tested in a few preseason and regular season games to see if he is ready for the job. Although he didn’t play well in the first 2023 preseason game, that doesn’t necessarily mean he isn’t ready.



Kyle Shanahan has three options for the starting job: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy">Brock Purdy</a>, who is the best option for the upcoming season; Trey Lance; and Sam Darnold. It is not yet clear who will be QB2, but Darnold has played more minutes in the first preseason game so far.



<h2>What is the assumption that Kyle Shanahan has to prevent Trey Lance from being the starter?</h2>



According to what was published by Grant Cohn, there is an assumption that Kyle Shanahan is trying to prevent Trey Lance from being the starter. Cohn reported that Shanahan does not want Lance to be the starter, and that he is trying to sabotage Lance’s chances by putting him in difficult situations during the preseason. This was evident in the preseason game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders">Las Vegas Raiders</a>, where Shanahan called multiple passing plays, which is not the 49ers’ usual offensive game plan.



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="451" height="245" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20230814_BUS_46038_grant-cohn-shanahan-theory-lance-rumor.webp&amp;width=451&amp;height=245" alt="" class="wp-image-46042" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/grant-cohn-shanahan-theory-lance-rumor.jpg 451w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/grant-cohn-shanahan-theory-lance-rumor-300x163.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px"></figure></div></figure></div>



Other analysts, such as JPAFootball, agree with Cohn’s assessment. They believe that Shanahan is trying to sabotage Lance by giving him a bad start to the preseason. This would allow Shanahan to justify keeping Sam Darnold as the backup.

However, the team started to prepare a transition in 2021, selecting <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance">Trey Lance</a> with the third overall pick in the draft.



Jimmy G kept the job at the beginning of the season, but it was a matter of time before the Niners started to give more playing time to Lance. In 2022, the former first-rounder was confirmed as QB1.



An ankle injury ruled Lance out, enabling Garoppolo to see the field again, but he also suffered a season-ending injury that let Brock Purdy prove his worth. The 31-year-old is now in Las Vegas, but he still remembers 2021 as a tough year.



<h2>Jimmy Garoppolo admits 49ers drafting Trey Lance was tough</h2>



“Yeah, the year before was real awkward,” Garoppolo told the San Francisco Chronicle. “That was tougher than this past year, honestly. You’re always gonna be dealt a hard hand at some point, and you’ve just got to make the best of it, and that’s what I’ve tried to do. That was a hard time.



“But I had some good people around me to lean on. The brothers in the locker room, those guys played a big role. I don’t think the fans always saw all that stuff, but those guys really picked me up when I was down sometimes. That’s why I love those guys in the locker room.”



Garoppolo ended up staying longer than expected in the Bay area. He was expected to be traded in 2022, but a shoulder surgery delayed any possible deal so he ultimately signed a restructured deal with the Niners.

However, Lance’s arrival sealed his fate. Kyle Shanahan admitted last year he didn’t see a scenario where Garoppolo came back in 2023, and he was right. Now, Jimmy G hopes to get back to his best with the Raiders.

Jimmy Garoppolo reveals true feelings about 49ers drafting Trey Lance in 2021

When the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> selected <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance">Trey Lance</a> with the third overall pick in the 2021 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> Draft, they made it clear how much they trusted in his potential. But things didn’t go to plan so far.



The quarterback failed to impress during his rookie year, in which the team wasn’t sure to bench Jimmy Garoppolo yet. An injury ended his season in 2022, and it could cost him the job.



Brock Purdy did much better than predicted during his absence, and the Niners look ready to give him the reins. This puts Lance in a tough spot, since he may have to battle for the second-string job with Sam Darnold.



<h2>Trey Lance addresses 49ers QB situation</h2>



“Just take it one day at a time,” Lance said, via 95.7 The Game. “I’m very present mind focused, every rep, one rep at a time, one day at a time one meeting at a time… I truly believe everything works out exactly how it’s supposed to. As long as I control what I can control that’s all I can worry about.”



The 49ers have plenty of options at the position, but considering how far they went with Purdy last year, the former ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ is expected to start this year. However, he’s not looking ahead of himself.

<h2>Brock Purdy doesn’t know if he’ll be the Niners QB1 yet</h2>



“No, we haven’t had any conversation like that,” Purdy said, via 49ers Webzone. “It’s ‘How can I be great today?’ ‘At practice, let’s get these reps, let’s get the mental reps, and let’s continue to grow.’ Obviously what we put on tape last year was great and all, but there’s still a lot of areas where I have to grow and get better and stuff. That’s just where I’m at. We’re not trying to get too far ahead of ourselves.”

NFL News: Trey Lance addresses the possibility of losing 49ers starting job - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> have a tough decision to make this summer. The team must choose their starting quarterback for the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season, and now Sam Darnold has sent <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trey Lance</a> a message regarding this matter.



Last season, the 49ers really struggled with their quarterback room. Trey Lance, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Brock Purdy got injured, so this offseason they decided to sign Sam Darnold to protect themselves for any scenario.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230620#BUS#14143"></div>


It seems like Lance will be ready for the beginning of the campaign, and Purdy is putting all the effort to be available too. However, Darnold is waiting for an opportunity to prove he still has what it takes to be a starter.



<h2>Sam Darnold sends message to Trey Lance over the 49ers’ starting quarterback role</h2>



Kyle Shanahan has a tough decision to make this summer. The 49ers head coach has three options for the starting quarterback role, and all three of them are considered to be great players.



As of today, it seems like the competition to begin the season will be between Trey Lance and Sam Darnold, as Brock Purdy hasn’t recovered yet. Now, the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carolina-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carolina Panthers</a> has sent a message regarding the starting role.



“It’s been a work in progress,” Darnold said. “I thought I got better throughout (mini) camp and just got more comfortable with the system, so I still got to study and go through the process of continuing to learn the system. But I’m excited for it, and it’s been really fun so far.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230614#BUS#10918"></div>


The 26-year-old quarterback wants an opportunity, but it seems like the competition will be tough as Trey Lance’s recovery has been better than expected during this offseason.

Injuries have been a huge problem for Trey Lance. He has struggled to stay healthy since his arrival in 2021, and the 49ers have not been able to see him perform as they would have wanted to.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230529#BUS#4759"></div>


In Week 2 of the 2022 NFL campaign, Lance suffered a season-ending ankle injury. There have been rumors going on about the possibility of the 49ers trading him, but the former 3rd-overall pick doesn’t see himself outside the Bay in a near future.



<h2>Trey Lance gets real on his continuity with the 49ers</h2>



Trey Lance’s two-year tenure in the NFL has been rough. The quarterback has not been able to stay healthy enough to play an entire season, and his backups have taken advantage of his absence to prove they could fight for the starter role.



Last year, with Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo out due to injuries, Brock Purdy took control of the offense. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Brock-Purdy-2022-NFL-Mr.-Irrelevant-Age-height-college-and-net-worth-20221204-0047.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2022 Mr. Irrelevant</a> did a remarkable job, so now everybody is wondering if the 49ers should trade Lance and stick to him.



Now, the former North Dakota State quarterback has addressed those rumors. Lance wants to continue with the 49ers, and he is confident that he will stay at San Francisco this year to prove what he’s really capable of.



“I knew where I wanted to be,” Lance said, per The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead. “I just want an opportunity to compete. I love it here. I love the coaching staff. I love working with (QBs coach Brian) Griese and (assistant) Klay (Kubiak) and now Klint (Kubiak) as well. Love the quarterback room, love the guys in the locker room. No doubt for me, this is absolutely where I want to be.”

According to reports, Brock Purdy’s rehab from elbow surgery is progressing better than expected, so he should be able to compete with Trey Lance and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/San-Francisco-49ers-sign-shocking-quarterback-to-compete-with-Brock-Purdy-and-Trey-Lance-20230503-0036.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sam Darnold</a> to be the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-49ers-have-selected-their-starting-quarterback-for-week-1-of-the-2023-season-20230601-BUS-5313.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">starting quarterback in Week 1</a>.
