Matt Maiocco: It’s not so clear cut that Trey Lance is the #1 quarterback

Six months after Jimmy Garoppolo’s goodbye press conference, he’s got a brand new contract with the 49ers, and potentially more than that.

Here was NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco yesterday on KNBR:

“The first takeaway is the 49ers’ quarterback room is better, there’s no question about it. Trey Lance did not have a safety net with Nate Sudfeld or with Brock Purdy. Now, not only does he have a safety net...if the 49ers lose September 11th at Chicago and Trey Lance doesn’t play well? That safety net might just become a trampoline that bounces over Trey Lance and could be the starter the next week.
