Trey Lance & Akili Smith Are IDENTICAL

The San Francisco 49ers traded away quarterback Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys, meaning that the #3 overall pick from the 2021 NFL Draft is no longer a member of the team after just two seasons. And while Lance might be one of the biggest busts in quite some time, as it turns out, just about everything in his career is identical to that of another former #3 overall pick... Cincinnati Bengals QB Akili Smith

[@edwardkelly3280]

Lance had very few starts in college. It’s crazy that he was a top 5 pick

[@maddenmoments8748]

I can see why he went round 1. He had 42 total touchdowns and 0 picks in his only season as a starter but I was always confused why he and Zach Wilson (Mahomeslike upside?) went above Fields in the draft.

[@timn8285]

Because he played for Ohio state, will be the narrative. But the only OSU qb that was taken in the first round was Haskins, who was taken by the Commanders. Fields was put on a team that was losing a coach and GM and was in salary cap hell. But once fans and media already make up their decision on a player, they'll think it's an excuse when we say "trash o line and no weapons." Put Fields on the 49ers and Purdy would still be unknown.

[@ogskywalker5669]

Fields has epilepsy that’s the only reason his stock dropped.

That's what I don't get about the trade, Rush is a perfect back up. Not good enough to cause a QB controversy but good enough to not make mistakes and keep the team afloat and win games.

[@2Phaktz]

​@@HookedonChronics Nah, they are trying to apply pressure to Dak while also planning beyond him. If he doesn't get it done by the time that guaranteed money runs out, they will look to Lance; the contracts line up for a move like that. If Lance progresses, they can also leverage him with his deal and get him signed long term well below market value for a starter. Everybody will shit on this opinion until they realize the Niners brought in a 'bust' QB in Steve Young (Heisman Trophy winner and #1 overall pick in supplemental draft) sitting behind Montana...until the organization was ready to move on from Montana. Results: 1 Lombardi, 2 MVPs and a HoFer.

[@weath3rch4rt31]

It is uncanny how similar they were after watching this video. I am still scratching my head how this happened.

[@de132]

It's a little harsh to say Lance is the same as Smith given that Lance broke his leg, and that may have impacted Lance's development. The 49ers timetable doesn't justify him being there while the Bengals were so bad that giving up on Smith was an actual indictment against his ability

[@KWCline91]

I think unless things continue to go worse for him, there’s still a chance he can turn it around. By that, he won’t be an elite quarterback or even a great quarterback. But, if he turns it around, he might have a solid career. You think of Jim Plunkett. The guy was a bust for Boston and San Francisco. Goes to the Raiders and win two Super Bowls. He wound up turning his career around to where he wasn’t elite, but he was no longer a bust. Still, it’s surprising by how this developed and it does make me worried a bit for the Texans with CJ Stroud.

It feels like there have been so many flops trying to hire “The next Sean McVay” (Kliff Kingsbury) “The next Bill Belichick” (Matt Patricia) “The next Josh Allen” (Trey Lance) that if I were a GM I’d take whoever is the latest obsession and hire the exact opposite

[@PpP-dr1od]

I actually like the comp between Heath Shuler and Trey Lance. 3rd overall pick that got overshadowed by a fan favorite 7th round pick that might not get remembered the way they should because of the way their team rebounded. If the Niners win a Superbowl with Purdy, this will 100% get remembered, but not the same way Trubisky gets remembered.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

The problem with Lance is that he didn’t have a lot of experience even coming into the nfl. The other problem with Lance is the current culture of the nfl. They no longer develop players. But honestly the problem starts with MONEY! Colleges want the 4/5 star recruits and they are expecting to play right away in college and then the NFL expects them to come in and play right away. If I recall correctly Smith didn’t get many years at Oregon either. I remember a time when the NFL would pass on a quarterback that ran the ball to much. He would have to go to Canada and play. Now most of the non runners have to go to Canada. Money and instant gratification are Lances enemy. And yes North Dakota State is a big time school now.

Lance played at the same low level college as Wentz against inferior competition and didn't play many games just like Wentz he's a bust clear as day

Trey Lance is a certified bust

[@Kylora2112]

You can't really say Trey Lance is a bust when he got hurt early last year, and was playing behind Jimmy G the year before (and did pretty decent).

If Trey doesn’t start again and is out the league in 3 years are you gonna stick with “he never got a chance”? He’s at the point in his career arc where he actually has to earn practice reps and not given the starting job because “oh hell we spent so much we gotta see him play even though Jimmy G is obviously better.”

😂😂 Interesting comparison. Shows college career doesn't always translate into the pro game. The pro game is a lot quicker. The pro game has a lot better players. Competition level is a lot difference. Shows evaluation of QB, isn't just size, arm strength, mobility measurebles. Intangibles is reading defenses, processing chaos, n anticipation.
