Trey Lance is beginning to struggle a bit in training camp.
Before the start of camp, the 49ers considered Lance the QB of the future and have decided that he will be the starting QB this season.
“We got into the offseason, and the thought really was this is going to become Trey’s team,” general manager John Lynch recently told The Athletic. “We go through OTAs and all of that, and he really just asserted himself. Those decisions are Kyle’s. We obviously talked a lot about it. It was somewhere in there in OTAs when we just felt very comfortable (naming Lance the starter). It was, all right, let’s do this.”
While Lance looked good early in camp, he’s beginning to show signs of struggle according to various reports. On Sunday, the sophomore QB reportedly had his worst day in practice.
“That’s a wrap on what was QB Trey Lance’s worst practice so far. He finished 4 of 12 with a pair of receiver drops, a dropped interception by CB Charvarius Ward and an interception thrown straight to LB Fred Warner. Hard not to wince at some of Lance’s throws today.”

Trey Lance went from starting hot to cooling off quickly during today’s practice
A few turnover worthy plays including an INT to Fred Warner. Trey also struggled to find his receivers deep outside the numbers.

There was a positive note to Lance’s game on Sunday.
Small shred of positivity: two of Trey Lance’s completions were impressive. One was a perfectly thrown ball to Deebo Samuel over the middle lofted just over the linebacker. The other on a scramble left, arched it up and over a pursuing defender to keep the drive alive. #49ers

It’s still early in camp but we’ll see if Lance can bounce back from his latest struggles.
