Summary

Every year I hear about how great rookie Quarterbacks look in practice.  Wake me up when the games begin.  QB's don't get hit in practice and see the same defense every day.  I'm glad that Trey Lance of the San Francisco 49ers looks like the real deal, but can we please wait until we see him against "real" NFL defenses?  How long will it be before we even see him play?  Jimmy Garoppolo is the starter and if he plays well and the 49ers are winning don't expect to see much of Lance this season.

great things about Trey Lance who the 49ers took very high in the draft who is the backup currently to Jimmy Garopolo and you know what if you're a 49ers fan you like hearing that I did read a quote from Trent Williams saying there really is no

quarterback competition now Jimmy Garopolo is the quarterback but he also had a lot of

superlatives for Lance and thinks that he's going to be a big time star in the league in the future.

Here's how I look at quarterbacks, okay? I don't get impressed when I read that somebody made a great 40-yard pass down the sideline.

1:13.4

Every quarterback in the NFL can make that throw.
