A few weeks ago, I did the difficult task of ranking the San Francisco 49ers offseasons over the last decade. 2023 came up as No. 3 mostly for a quarterback battle.
Except it wasn’t the quarterback battle many (including myself) were thinking.
There wasn’t much written on who would be QB2 of a team since maybe Tim Tebow. That was a large part of the 49ers offseason drama. Many (myself included) thought Trey Lance would at least make an attempt at QB1, but Brock Purdy solidified things rather quickly, instead making the “great” QB battle be for No.
