The San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback job is all but certain with Brock Purdy being taking the field in Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Purdy has followed his rehab with little setbacks and is now throwing more than two days in a row.
So that leaves the No. 2 quarterback. Purdy V. Lance isn’t happening, but it’s Lance V. Sam Darnold. And as for a winner, NBC Sports’ Peter King is thinking it’s the latter.
“I will be surprised if the [49ers] No. 2 quarterback is not Sam Darnold” King said on Pro Football Talk’s YouTube show.
