Episode Synopsis

On today's episode of The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi discuss the latest news about the San Francisco 49ers quarterback room.

Brock Purdy recently said that he's not sure if he'll even be able to play at all in the 2023 season. What does that mean for the 49ers and their quarterback room? Does the possibility that Purdy could miss an extended portion of the season change the team's plan for Trey Lance this offseason? And does it change anything for new quarterback Sam Darnold?

One NFL analyst says that Sam Darnold will likely start Week 1 for the 49ers given Brock Purdy's injury and the team's feelings toward Trey Lance. How likely is that scenario? If both Lance and Darnold were healthy, who would and who should the 49ers pick to start at quarterback? And what would the 49ers answer to that question tell us about their quarterbacks?

The big NFL news of the week is quarterback Jalen Hurts' 5-year, $255 million contract extension with the Philadelphia Eagles. Can the 49ers learn something about their failures with Trey Lance from Hurts' tenure with the Warriors? Plus, an interesting 49ers and Trey Lance conspiracy theory.
