The preseason is officially upon us. If you are like me—a little bit sick in the head—you thoroughly enjoyed watching Trey Lance play quarterback for the Chargers in the Hall of Fame Game. Lance, wildly, is just a few months older than Bo Nix, and still has a high ceiling in professional football, but just needs more repetitions than he’s had the opportunity to earn on a title contender and, afterward, a desperate Cowboys team with a coach who wasn’t going to waste time on developing a quarterback. He made some notable touch throws between converging defenders Thursday night and was quick to visit his immediate options. This wasn’t the same quarterback who tended to linger in the backfield during his early appearances with the 49ers—at least against a half-asleep Lions defense in the least competitive game of the football season.
