Pretty strong words from Silver.
Apparently its mostly his accuracy that is inconsistent. It’s okay, accuracy isn’t that important.
Haters gonna hate! ~Niner homerPretty strong words from Silver.

Quit being so negative!This is just another example of takes needing to be extreme. He is right to observe that there are reasons to be concerned. He's right that the 9ers are probably concerned, at least the staff has to be. Short of a situation where the young QB is blowing them out of the water and there's a strong belief system built up in-house (like say Kurt Warner), you are of course going to be concerned playing a guy with high high's and low low's.
But they don't have any real choice here because the Rams hit on that QB change. They know as Stafford settles in things will be in the Rams favor and had to do something. They need to play the second year QB and try to get him online and basically they're trusting in Shanahan to work some miracles in minimizing his shortcomings.
So still a chance this guy ends up being a good player. But boy does this look good from where we're sitting.
At this point they'll take the unsalted peanuts for him.Especially if they just traded Jimmy for peanuts.
Shanahan's gonna have to call the kind of plays to protect Lance from himself in order to avoid mistakes. Quick outs. WR screens. Short over the middle to Deebo or Kittle. Avoid throwing the difficult passes to the deep sidelines. In other words, turn him into Jimmy Garoppolo.Pretty strong words from Silver.

I think he'll struggle at that, at least initially. While JimmyG is certainly flawed, one of his strengths was he got rid of the ball quickly (2.67 seconds on average in 2021). That is not a strength of Lance's (3.12 seconds). I expect that, while he'll do some damage with his legs, he will also get sacked a lot due to this aspect of his game.Shanahan's gonna have to call the kind of plays to protect Lance from himself in order to avoid mistakes.

49er fans will tell you he's the next coming of Joe Montana. But they once said that about Garoppolo. They can really be a delusional fan base. Other people are saying Lance doesn't process things during a play like he should. Is it because he's inexperienced and just needs more time? Time will tell. There are certain things the good QB's do that are just instinctual. Does he have those instincts? There are some doubters about that.I think he'll struggle at that, at least initially.

Bill Plaschke: Hold my beerOh and btw is Grant Cohn still a media pass type for the shitters? Because it must suck having a guy reporting that wants to shit on the team. I don't blame him btw. But still damn.
I've read a lot of Niner fans just can't stand the dude. He is overly negative about everybody and keeps changing positions on players it seems he's pro or anti Jimmy G depending on the direction of the windOh and btw is Grant Cohn still a media pass type for the shitters?

Yeah I don't doubt that. But I think it's a bad look when a team's players intimidate a member of the press. Bad business. Team should have pulled his pass or handled the business, should not be the players. Makes me feel like they're a low class organization and that's beside the fact I fucking hate everything about them.I've read a lot of Niner fans just can't stand the dude.
