The entrance of Trey Lance and the exit of Jimmy Garoppolo was supposed to answer all the 49ers’ quarterback questions. Instead the question marks around the position remain perhaps larger than ever.
What remains uncertain is the answer to who starts Week 1 of the 2023 season. Brock Purdy’s recovery from offseason UCL surgery will play a role in who starts the season opener. A camp battle between Lance and Darnold will also factor in. One thing that is certain is that while the rumors will fly on a possible Lance trade, the 49ers are in no position to deal the former No. 3 pick.
