49ers quarterback competition: Trey Lance’s long road back

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:10:20 GMT

SANTA CLARA — The first competition 49ers quarterback Trey Lance needed to win during this offseason wasn’t against Sam Darnold or Brock Purdy, but against his own body.He had to rid himself of the funky mechanics that developed in the year-plus he spent overcompensating for an injured index finger on his throwing hand, an injury he sustained during the preseason of his rookie year in 2021.He had to shorten his throwing motion to rediscover a quicker release he had worked hard to master during his time at North Dakota State, where he set an NCAA record for most passing attempts (287) without an interception during the 2019 season.And he had to recover from a fractured fibula and ligament damage in his right ankle, which grew irritated after surgery last September and, three months later, required a second operation to remove protective hardware and free the ankle to begin healing on its own.After clearing all these obstacles, the No. 3 pick in the 2021 draft has found himself ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:10:20 GMT

Q: I still envision a Disneyland-like elevated monorail through the Santa Cruz Mountains from wherever the most parking is available, or a light rail station, like in Los Gatos or Campbell, right off 17, to Santa Cruz Boardwalk parking lots. Great for commuters and day trippers. Stations at Scotts Valley and maybe near the summit, too. What a beautiful ride among the trees.M. LahannA: I can imagine taking a beautiful ride such as you describe through the Santa Cruz Mountains. And it’s fun to dream. When various light rail ideas have been looked at before, though not this route, and not monorail, there were not enough projected riders in off-peak hours to warrant the cost of the projects.Q: I see signs on Interstate 680 about lanes being closed soon. What are they doing?AnonymousA: Caltrans will close southbound Interstate 680 in Pleasanton between Sunol Boulevard and Koopman Road from 10 p.m, Friday, June 9 until 4 a.m., Monday, June 12.The closure is being done so that a port...

Daly was let go a day earlier in what team owner Carpenter called one of the most difficult decisions of his tenure running the organization. He cited performance issues for the split with Daly, who was ranked 20th in the standings with a season-best finish of eighth in the Indianapolis 500. Hunter-Reay was out of IndyCar last season but returned this year for the Indy 500 and finished 11th.
