Why the 49ers hit a home run signing Josh Dobbs as their backup QB

The San Francisco 49ers solved their backup quarterback problems when they signed Josh Dobbs to a one-year, $2.25 million contract last week.

Dobbs, 29, is coming off a year where he started 12 games, splitting time between the Arizona Cardinals and Minnesota Vikings, throwing for 2,464 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, while completing 62.8 percent of his passes.

He now joins the 49ers as the clear No. 2 to starter Brock Purdy, allowing the 49ers to prioritize other positions when it comes to the remainder of free agency and the NFL Draft.
