Would you bench Purdy for Garoppolo?

Nope not at this point. I would roll with Purdy to see if I just got some lightning in a bottle and look to discard some QB's for some draft picks if I did. Though he may have been shaky at times last week, they should stay with Purdy. For a rookie, not too bad so far this season!

I dunno--who gives you the best chance?  I stay with the hot hand, personally. Wasn't Wentz good to go when Foles got hot in Philly a few years back?

I doubt that I would, but I would have the hook ready.  That could create a preparation problem for opponents.  Preparing based on Purdy and having Garoppolo come in at the first sign of trouble would cause some adjustments on the fly.

The '72 Dolphins stuck with Earl Morrall even though Bob Griese had recovered from his injury and was available for the playoffs.  When Morrall struggled against the Steelers in the AFCC, Griese was inserted at halftime and led them to a win and trip to the Owl.  I could see a similar situation with the 49ers taking shape this year, although Morrall was a 38-year old vet and Purdy is in his first year.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
