NFL Insider Says the Niners Are Scared to Start Trey Lance

The Trey Lance era hasn’t even begun yet, and already it’s not looking good.

Chris Simms said something that has Niners fans a little concerned. The 49ers are scared to start Trey Lance.

“Are they scared a little bit?” Simms said on Pro Football Talk Live. “Of course they are.”

The 49ers not playing Lance more last season, and the 49ers keeping Jimmy Garoppolo around is enough evidence pointing to Simms speaking the truth.

“Anybody you talk to who saw training camp last year,” Simms said, “either that was part of the 49ers staff or when they went and worked with the Los Angeles Chargers and you hear people who witnessed those practices, there had to be concerns coming out of San Francisco early on in the year last year. I know there was. There were too many people who were like, ‘Man, the ball is everywhere; man, he’s not ready yet.’ That’s got to scare them to a degree.”

As long as Jimmy G is on the NIners roster he’s clearly the guy to start.  His record speaks for istelf.

The Niners clearly aren’t sold on Trey Lance at this point.

The Niners are just going to have to throw him in there and see what happens.  But first they have to move Jimmy G or Lance will never be the QB1.
