Predicting how the 49ers quarterback position will shake out

However, San Francisco has a huge question mark hanging over it. Who will be the starting quarterback?

Last week during the owners meeting Kyle Shanahan stated the obvious, “It would have been pretty easy if Brock (Purdy) was healthy.”

Purdy took over the starting role in week 13 after Jimmy Garoppolo was lost to a broken foot. The rookie led the 49ers to a win over Miami and proceeded to win his first seven starts before suffering a torn UCL on the sixth play of the NFC championship game in Philadelphia.

From the Miami game forward Purdy completed 151 of 224 attempts for 1,877 yards, 16 touchdowns and just three interceptions.
