An old football adage, oftentimes attributed to the legendary John Madden, more or less goes that if you say you have more than one starting quarterback, you really don't have any.
. Shanahan said Purdy would"be the starter going into [the season]" earlier this offseason and Lynch added that Purdy"earned that right to be the guy" after he led the 49ers to the NFC championship game this past season with a 7-1 record.
"We did expect Trey Lance [to be the man for a long time] and I think that he still can be. You also don't expect the last pick in the draft to come in and play at that level," Shanahan said."He missed that opportunity and Brock came in and did. I truly think Trey can go in and do that, but Brock's already done it and that's a very good thing for us to have."
"You watch his whole career and there's no reason to think differently," Shanahan said."He hasn't been in the best situations, so we're glad to have him here." Another thought is that Shanahan is simply trying to bump up Lance's trade value before the 2023 season and lure a team into making an offer for him.
