On Thursday, 49ers legend Joe Montana had troubling information on rookie QB Trey Lance to pass along.
In an interview with our own Andrew McCarty of The Spun, Montana shared what he’s heard about Lance as of late. In short, Montana is worried Lance isn’t ready for the spotlight.
In fact, the all-time great would keep Jimmy Garoppolo if he was in charge of the team.
“I don’t think he’s ready,” Montana said of Lance. “And that’s just what I hear. I heard even more things today from some of the players, so I just don’t think they think he’s ready. But if they’re willing to get rid of Jimmy they must think he’s ready – or at least close enough. Either that or they have a plan to pick up somebody else that we don’t know about. I’d keep Jimmy G. I mean he got them almost there.”

Joe Montana opened up on why he doesn’t think Tom Brady is done just yet, what the 49ers should do with Jimmy Garoppolo, where Aaron Rodgers should play and much more.

This is a stunning revelation. It also calls into question why the Niners are trying to trade Jimmy G if Trey Lance isn’t the guy.
Lance came to the Bay Area a raw prospect. He hasn’t played much live football these past few years and still has plenty to work through as a passer. Fortunately, his running abilities will always be an advantage.
Kyle Shanahan has implied the Niners are ready to move into the Lance era. But it sounds like Joe Montana would advise against it based on what he’s heard.
