The 49ers’ organized team activities are underway, and so begins the intense scrutiny on their quarterbacks, starting with Trey Lance and Sam Darnold while Brock Purdy recovers.
Two months ago, general manager John Lynch called Purdy the “leader in the clubhouse” as the 49ers’ 2023 starter, and Shanahan echoed that.
“I honestly don’t even feel it or think about it,” Lance said of his right ankle, which required a follow-up procedure Dec. 30 to remove stabilizing hardware. “I’m sure something there’ll be something as the season comes up — nothing bad, not missing time, but soreness or things like that — and I’ll just continue to work through it, learn as I go and figure out what works best.”
“Learning a new system is always a challenge in itself, but, at the same time it’s pretty fun, to be honest,” Darnold said. “In learning football and hearing the way Kyle talks about some things, and Griese as well, and Brock and Trey being in it, and Brandon being in Cincy with Joe . There’s a lot of good experiences to bounce certain questions off. It’s going to be a fun year and I’m looking forward to it.
