San Francisco 49ers: For all things red and gold!

I understand the desire/curiosity to see how a healthy Trey plays, but why have so many fans/content creators ran with the narrative of “Brock hasn’t proven anything” as a means to justify why he shouldn’t automatically be the starter AND that Trey should have his job back?

After Jimmy was injured throughout the 2021 playoffs, a good majority of fans were ready for Lance to take over by virtue of him being the “future”, the small flashes of good play we saw, the amount invested in him, and most importantly, the persistent injury history of Jimmy.

Why is it, then, when Lance gets injured and Brock helps takes the offense to places we’ve rarely seen for eight straight games, that losing your job to injury is suddenly the team being unfair to Trey, and that Brock is undeserving of being the presumed starter? Brock has objectively accomplished more than Trey when taking on the starting job from their predecessor and has a far more solid claim to retaining the starting job then Trey ever has...and I like Trey a lot. Am I missing something here?
