Kurtenbach: The 49ers should trade Trey Lance. It’s what’s best for the player and team

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:50:50 GMT

When the 49ers traded three first-round NFL Draft picks to move up and select quarterback Trey Lance No. 3 overall in the spring of 2021, they expected they were picking the franchise’s future.Three years later, he’s San Francisco’s No. 3 quarterback.And that might be a generous interpretation.So why is he still on the team?This preseason is Lance’s chance to show that he still has a future with the Niners, but his performance in Sunday’s preseason debut against the Raiders makes it hard to imagine what that future might be.In Brock Purdy, the 49ers believe they have their franchise quarterback.The Niners believe they have capable, veteran backups in Sam Darnold and Brandon Allen. Both looked good in Las Vegas.What do the 49ers have in Lance?Still, a raw and bewildering prospect in his third NFL season.That’s why if the 49ers can get any draft pick in a trade for Lance today, they should take it.Yes, the Niners might have run out of quarterbacks l...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:50:50 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Raiders rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell was known for his efficiency when he was at Purdue, and he even set the school record for career completion percentage.That same skill was on display Sunday.O’Connell completed 15 of 18 passes for 141 yards and a touchdown as Las Vegas beat the San Francisco 49ers 34-7 in the preseason opener for both teams.“You just kind of hope to go out there and do your best and see what happens,” O’Connell said. “Not worried about the stats. There’s more things than just the stats, especially responsibility in the run game and stuff like that, that I need to improve on. So I know I have a lot of work to go still.”O’Connell, third on the depth chart behind starter Jimmy Garoppolo and veteran Brian Hoyer, played the first three quarters, leaving with Las Vegas up 24-7 and the outcome well in hand.“I thought he generally handled himself well for the first (playing) opportunity,” Raiders coach Josh McDaniels said. “...

Glover beats Cantlay in playoff in FedEx Cup opener for second straight win

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:50:50 GMT

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Lucas Glover made three big putts just to stay in the game and then hit the most important shot — on dry land in a playoff — to beat Patrick Cantlay on the first extra hole and win the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Sunday for his second straight victory.And so the amazing run continues for the 43-year-old Glover, who two weeks was No. 112 in the FedEx Cup and preparing for an early end to his season. Now he is assured the FedEx Cup finale at East Lake and perhaps consideration for the Ryder Cup.Glover made a 20-foot par putt, a 30-foot bogey putt and a 12-foot par putt over the final six holes to close with a 1-under 69 and force a playoff with Cantlay, who surged into contention with a 64 at the TPC Southwind.The playoff effectively ended with one shot. Cantlay hit 3-wood that was about a foot from being perfect. Instead, it hopped down the bank and into the water. Glover found the fairway and two-putted for par. Cantlay took a penalty drop and his 20-foot pa...
