Quarterback Brandon Allen is competing with Joshua Dobbs to be the backup quarterback to Brandon Purdy for the 49ers.SANTA CLARA — The head start belongs to Brandon Allen, but if Joshua Dobbs has proven anything after a whirlwind 2023 season it’s that he can learn on the fly.
“I think everyone knows Kyle’s offense is difficult at times to get down and be comfortable in,” Allen said. “It comes with reps and studying and having that whole year to come back and be in the same system has been good. I’m definitely more comfortable with the verbiage. I’m able to call plays a lot easier.”
Not surprisingly, Allen seemed to be in the lead after the first few practices, but Dobbs has gradually come around in terms of accuracy, efficiency and learning to be precise footwork that ties into the timing and rhythm of the passing game. Dobbs ended up starting 12 games, passing for 2,464 yards with 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions for two teams. He had some very good games and some rough landings, but overall wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.
