Headed into the preseason finale, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan says he hasn’t decided yet on who will be the team's No. 2 quarterback.
Lance and Darnold have shared the backup quarterback duties throughout training camp, alternating which one gets the primary work behind Purdy.
Teams are allowed to designate an emergency third quarterback on game days this season as long as that player is on the 53-man roster — a rule change put in place after the 49ers ran out of healthy QBs in the NFC title game."You keep three when you have three," Shanahan said Tuesday."It’s hard with the 53-man roster. You’d like to keep two so you can get another position somewhere. ...
Lance started the first exhibition game and played the first half with Darnold coming on and playing the bulk of the second half. The order flipped last week with Darnold coming on for the second drive of the game after Purdy was replaced and playing until late in the third quarter, when Lance came on and finished the game.
Lance hasn't lived up to expectations that were heightened when San Francisco traded three first-round picks to draft him third overall in 2021. He started just four games his first two seasons, replacing an injuredfor two games as a rookie and starting two games last season before going down with a season-ending ankle injury.
