Kyle Shanahan: There’s no store where you can just go get quarterbacks at any time

Everything you need to know about the team in around five minutes

If 49ers fans had to drink every time they had to worry about who the backup quarterback was going to be for their team, we’d all have died of alcohol poisoning about four years ago. Yet despite drafting Trey Lance in 2021 and keeping Jimmy Garoppolo around as the backup in 2022, we once again have to worry about who takes over if the starter gets injured. If that happens again, it’s Mr. Irrelevant Brock Purdy.

Kyle Shanahan was asked yesterday if he has full confidence in Purdy if Brock ever had to start a significant amount of games for the team.
