Vernon Davis Backs Trey Lance as 49ers' Starting QB Ahead of Brock Purdy in 2023

While most of the San Francisco 49ers fanbase will spend most of the offseason debating over whether Brock Purdy or Trey Lance should be the franchise's starting quarterback next year, one of the organization's former stars made it clear where he stands.

While partaking in Super Bowl LVII festivities earlier this month, former 49er tight end Vernon Davis told TMZ Sports that he believes it should be Lance, not Purdy, who gets the Week 1 start for the 2023 season.

"I strongly believe that Trey Lance is going to be the man for the job," Davis said.
