This was a terrific beginning to learning more about Trey's coping mechanisms, which will be one of the things we discover about him this year.

On 12 of his 34 dropbacks, the offensive line Trey used allowed pressure (without facing a single blitz). He decided to take it all on himself.

In the past, Jimmy Garoppolo would frequently characterise all of his mistakes as team mistakes.

It speaks a lot about Trey as a person and a leader when he is taking responsibility of defeat.
