Coming off a season that saw them rank seventh in yards and 13th in points scored, the 49ers offense is undergoing a bit of a transition in 2022. Trey Lance is slated to replace Jimmy Garoppolo at quarterback, and there will be at least two new starters along the offensive line.
The most critical piece to improving the offensive scoring output will be the performance of Lance. Quarterback is the most influential position in the NFL regarding success on offense.
Outside of Lance, the player the 49ers will rely upon to have the most significant improvement over last season will be Jauan Jennings.
