This season for the 49ers won’t necessarily hinge on the success of the quarterback, as they enter the preseason with Brock Purdy, Trey Lance, and Sam Darnold. Their health is important, but the roster is stacked on both sides, while the schedule suggests the Niners should win double-digit games.
In Purdy’s case, there’s still some doubt whether we can expect an encore performance. He was as close to lights out as it gets last season. Some wonder how much better he can get, while others believe there’s only one way to go, and it isn’t up.
