“Super Bowl or a bust-job,” 49ers legend Steve Young makes a BOLD prediction on starting QB Trey Lance amidst Jimmy Garoppolo pressure

Steve Young on Trey Lance-Jimmy Garoppolo situation

Trey Lance finally was named the starting Quarterback for the San Fransico 49er after being drafted 3rd overall in the 2021 NFL draft and backing up the man he replaced under center Jimmy Garoppolo for a year. Lance was named the starter by 49ers management as they looked to trade Garoppolo but after failing to do so they restructured his contract to keep him on for another year.

Garoppolo wasn’t a bad Quarterback as he led the San Francisco 49ers to one Superbowl appearance and one NFC championship game as the starter so Lance will have to be great to justify the 49ers’ move to replace Garoppolo with him and many fans are hoping that Trey Lance is what they need to go all the way and win the Superbowl something Garoppolo failed to do.

Lance has a tough task ahead of him and he had a rough start to his journey with a loss to the Chicago Bears. The 49ers lost 19-10 with Lance completing 13 of 28 passing for 164 yards and 1 interception and 13 rushes for 54 yards. Steve Young the 49ers Hall of Fame Quarterback knows something about replacing a successful Quarterback and he seems to sympathize with Lance’s situation.

Steve Young once upon a time was not a hall of fame Quarterback but a young buck backing up Joe Montana one of the greatest to wear the 49ers jersey a 4-time Super Bowl champion. It was widely known that Young was brought in to eventually replace an aging Montana and when he did he had immense pressure to perform, luckily for Young he did so after a rough start.

Jimmy Garoppolo is no Joe Montana but the little success he had still presents a daunting task for Trey Lance as he replaces Garoppolo as the starter. With Garoppolo backing him, Lance knows that if he underperforms the 49ers’ management has a capable replacement in the wings.

Steve Young talked about the pressure Lance is under – “Let’s not dance around the truth. Trey’s got a nearly impossible job. How many bodies have broken trying to do that? Death or glory, right?”

What Young said is quite true as the 49ers squad this year is mostly unchanged from last year which under Garoppolo’s leadership reached the NFC championship game where they lost to eventual Super Bowl champs the LA Rams. Young went on to say-“This job has always been a Super Bowl-or-bust job. Let’s admit it. It’s a high-wire act for anybody. Trey’s goal right now is not to hold the team back.”

Trey Lance is truly in an impossible situation and Garoppolo’s presence will not make it easy for the young Quarterback. This season will be a true test for Lance. For now, Lance and his San Fransico 49ers are getting ready to face the Seattle Seahawks as Lance looks for his 1st win as a starter.
