It was actually this past week that the entitled child Lance learned he’d be a No. 3.
So what happened? Or at least this is the narrative put out in the feel-good report by Shanahan and GM John Lynch.
1. Lance was "devastated" when told he was tired strong talent
2. Lance was "classy."
3. Lance’s demotion was a "gut punch," said GM Lynch. (In other words, Lance would be a pouty, unhappy camper in San Francisco.)
4. The classy Lance was distraught enough to miss Wednesday’s practice. (What true professional does tha?!)
5. Apparently, the way to handle the fragile Lance is to baby him with honorifics such as "class" and having a "work ethic" as quoted by Lynch.
And Lance has said he wanted to land on a team where he, the golden child, could be the No. 2 backup.
Blimey, ruffians and astute lovers of the pig iron — do we already have a backup QB controversy?
If not, Mr. North Dakota Bison, what is the diff of being No.3 in San Francisco to being No.3 in Frisco, Texas? Huh?
Yes, Lance is cheap. No, his talents are not NFL quality. Yes, he now has a fresh start. No, you don’t just waltz In as a No. 2.
Class? Yes, Grier has class that Lance perhaps doesn’t have.
Devastated? Yes, his taking up a roster spot is a gut punch to astute fans.
The project called Trey Lance is an unnecessary transaction in the name of getting something on the cheap.
I hardly expected Jerald to go to Goodwill for our roster needs.
The other 31 teams knew better.
