49ers Kyle Shanahan says Trey Lance will get starting reps at QB to have situational role in 2021

Kyle Shanahan has done his best to downplay the po sibility of first-round pick opening 2021 as the ' starting quarterback. The coach said going into Christian Folin Jersey training camp that San Francisco was at the position, then said after the start of practice that he'd be "" if incumbent isn't under center in Week 1. Days later, however, he's that he plans to give Lance reps as the first-team QB. Shanahan again refused to declare the spot open for Marian Gaborik Men Jersey competition, but his actions suggest the rookie is, in fact, vying for Garoppolo's job."Trey's going to play for us this year," Shanahan said, . "Situationally, he's going to get plays. That doesn't mean that he's going to be the starter or anything, but he's going to get plays and you've got to prepare him for that every way po sible."It's po sible -- even probable -- that Lance will get his own package in the event Garoppolo actually opens the season as the starting QB; the former Alex Iafallo Women Jersey was a highly touted prospect coming out of North Dakota State in part due to his running ability. But Shanahan and Co. have previously made clear that they didn't make such a big investment in Lance to be merely a situational player. He was drafted to eventually take over as the QB and face of the franchise, and getting first-team reps at camp is a small but notable step toward that.It's also notable that just days before announcing plans to rotate Martin Frk Kids Jersey Lance into No. 1 QB reps, Shanahan told reporters he didn't "currently have plans" to do just that. One explanation is that Lance's performance in camp has progre sed to the point of warranting more snaps. Another is that Shanahan is simply ma saging his way through an inevitable changing of the guard at the position. Either way Rogie Vachon Men Jersey , all indications are that Lance will be on the field in some fashion or another once the season begins.
