The NFL world is understandably excited to see what Lance can do over the course of an entire half. He’s seen some action through the first three games, though nothing of the extended variety.
Colin Cowherd predicts he won’t give the job back to Garoppolo.
“Trey Lance is starting the second half for the 49ers. Prediction — he will now be starting all halves for the 49ers,” he predicts.

The 49ers say that Garoppolo is dealing with a calf injury and he’s officially “questionable” to return on Sunday afternoon.

Many believe it’s more than time for Lance to take over the offense for good.
The Seahawks didn’t even get a first down until like 80% of the way through the first half and this game is still tied at 7.
Put Trey Lance on the field to start the 3rd quarter. Why are we even bothering with this nonsense anymore.

It’ll be interesting to see if Kyle Shanahan sticks with the rookie quarterback moving forward.
