Personally given what we gave up for Trey, it’d have to be him

Can’t even say lance is a bust yet if we’re being honest.
The way everything worked out, yeah it wasn’t a good decision to trade up to get him (edit: Trey). But we never got to see enough play to know if he was a bad decision. I feel bad for the guy. I think Shanahan ruined his career. Imagine being a sought after star athlete, having some coach trade the farm to sign you, then the coach breaks you with a careless play call, then tosses you aside, to the Cowboys of all people.
It’s probably Trey. It’s fun to think about what would’ve happened if the team picked up Jake Plummer instead of Jim Drunkenmiller.
Kyle ruined Trey.
Got him hurt with a brain dead playcall.
And then throws him to another team to be their 3rd string QB.
Lance due to cost. Oddly, Garcia bailed the 49ers from the Drunk mistake. Some similarities there
Solomon Thomas over Patrick Mahomes.
Lance cost too much and Shanahan had him running just like RG3
Shanahan can be clever at times but I’m starting to think he’s not the genius we call him. Bro is 0-3 in Superbowls. All 3 were winnable games by him. That’s the worst part.
What about Gio Carmazzi
Trey didn’t get a fair shot and I still think he will be an amazing QB
Trey is one of the biggest and most costly busts in NFL history. It’s Trey.
The silver lining is he was so bad that there was no other choice but to move on.
Not close. Trey. Used a first and traded two others.
Lance easily. Huge difference between trading into the top three all for him to be a massive bust versus rolling the dice on a QB late in the first.
Ouch…. Just reading this hurt my soul
Trey. By far. I’m only saying that because of the staggering amount of draft capital that was traded for his presence. The niners have never traded so much to get someone since OJ Simpson in 78 I think.
When I think of lance all I think is thank god we had Garoppolo
Trey but just for what we gave up for him. I still would like to see what he can do with more body of work.
Lance by far
Trey was never given a chance. He was drafted as a work in progress qb. Then he got hurt and was replaced and then traded to Dallas(I believe at his request, not sure).
I have a friend at work that went to VT at the time Drunkenmiller was there, and her best friend was a sports writer for the school. She was living in CA at the time we drafted them and told me….You guys drafted Drunkenmiller?? That guy was SOOOOO DUMB.
I’m happy with what we have now, but Trey really didn’t get much of a chance to succeed. I hope he can get a starting job somewhere in the next 2-3 seasons to show what he’s capable of.
Didn’t get anything back from Jimbo, but he also didn’t cost much (own pick). Lance cost the team a couple of 1st round picks but got a 4th rounder. Wash if the 4th rounder makes the team and plays a few years for them.
I still don’t understand the Trey Lance move. He was a project that was drafted by a team that was ready to win….now. Make it make sense, somebody.
Drafting Tim Rattay rather than Tom Brady
Trey had a lot of potential but he needed to be a backup for a couple of years to learn how to read the defense. But they had just gone to the SB a year prior with the same QB they still had.
When I watched that draft that year I was dumbfounded. It seemed like they lost all confidence with Jimmy. And what the 9ers gave up for Trey just never made sense at the time.
Off topic, but I don’t think singletary got a fair shake as a coach and never gets credit for building the defense into what harbaugh eventually got credited for
My problem with the trade up to get Lance was that I didn’t think they needed to go up all the way to 3 to select a QB, but those two additional first rounders ended up bottom 4 picks (and he had nothing to do with that, so it would’ve been bottom 4 anyway) and one of those would’ve been a bust.
That makes it the worse decision.
I might be in the minority but, I still do t understand why we drafted Crabtree. It started out bad from his hold out on.

Jamarcus Russell. Still the worst
