It was a less-than-ideal start to the preseason for 49ers quarterback Trey Lance on Sunday and ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky is ready to call it a wrap on the 23-year-old’s tenure in San Francisco.
“I don’t think Trey Lance can play in Kyle Shanahan’s offense,” the former NFL quarterback said on ESPN’s Get Up. “I’ve seen enough.
Lance threw for 112 yards and one touchdown pass while completing 10-of-15 passes against the Raiders but was sacked four times in the 35–7 loss. Orlovsky cites Lance’s discomfort in the shotgun and inability to get rid of the ball quickly as two main reasons why it just won’t work in Kyle Shanahan’s system.
