It was reported on Monday that San Francisco 49ers second-year quarterback Trey Lance was "a little annoyed" when first learning of the news that team would be bringing back his primary competition in Jimmy Garoppolo on a restructured deal. Barring a last-second switch or injury to the 22-year-old mobile threat, Lance will be under center when the Niners open up their regular season on Sunday.
On Tuesday, Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe, who is now a co-host of FS1's "Undisputed," discussed San Francisco's quarterback situation.

"Trey should be annoyed at himself. He had one job: convince the 49ers to trust him. The 49ers are built to go to a Super Bowl...I’m not going to let a QB mess this up."

In six games, including two starts last season, Lance went 41-for-71 for 603 passing yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions, while adding 168 yards and one score on the ground. He didn't take a snap in any of San Francisco's three postseason contests.
