The latest spin on beleaguered 49ers quarterback Trey Lance: He actually had a great opportunity with the team and blew it.
That might seem nearly impossible to swallow regarding a guy who has made four NFL starts and suffered several injuries. But there are clearly important voices within the 49ers pushing the idea.
Albert Breer, the Sports Illustrated NFL reporter, went on Colin Cowherd's show on Monday and gave his read on the Lance-Sam Darnold-Brock Purdy QB triangle. Breer said that Darnold "might take the first snap of training camp" if Purdy isn't ready. "Now, it doesn't mean Trey Lance can't come back and work his way forward," Breer added.
