Purdys career may be over before its started.  His injury for a qb is pretty brutal

Maybe but these orthopedic surgeons are damn good at their jobs. Major League pitchers come back from this surgery 100% so Purdy should be fully recovered eventually.

The 49ers defense has been absolutely gutted this offseason. I think they take a pretty significant step back.

Sam won't even start there. Purdy is their guy with Lance as the back up. Sam is a warm camp body and injury insurance who is on a 1 year deal.

There’s a good chance Purdy doesn’t play this season and even still might not be the same QB he was pre injury

I hate this narrative that the niners only lost cause Purdy got injured. Any QB that isn't Mahomes was taking an L in philly that day.

Well, if he doesn’t get hurt and they challenge that catch, it’s a different game. Don’t know if they win but once he was hurt they had 0 chance. Even I was wondering why they didn’t challenge since it was game changing and it looked funny. Just use a timeout to at least see it because if it’s not a catch it’s a punt on 4th instead of a TD.

I wouldn't put money on Lance.

Me either but with what they gave up for him, if Purdy isn't ready when camp starts, Lance is going to get his opportunities.

If he’s such a miracle worker as a coach, why has Lance looked like crap when he’s been on the field?

Even without Purdy getting hurt they got exposed IMO.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Sam's a good dude and probably a great teammate and hope he balls out in SF. But I think he is getting very close to his ceiling if he isnt there already.    I would like to be wrong about this, tho.

[BEASTfromdaEAST]

If any coach that can do it it will be him but I still think Darnold is trash. No QB worth anything puts up Darnold numbers against the Saints last year. Multiple times Ivr watched Darnold through out these years and his decision making, accuracy and overall job as a QB was horrendous.  Back up material? Yeah sure but Pro Bowl??? Lolol I'd put a lot of money on he never sniffs a Pro Bowl and especially and All Pro team.......he just doesn't have "it"

[SmokinwithWilly]

If he does he does. Just will go to prove even more that you need offensively driven coaches to thrive. 

[Dorian Gray]

Enduring one of Adam Gase and Matt Rhule would set you back years, but BOTH? I feel bad for the dude. I don't think he's a Pro Bowler either, but I'm rooting for him to succeed (unless it's against us). Seems like a solid team player.

In the how many games has he started? 4?
