49ers tight end George Kittle won’t be the ultimate decision maker on who will play quarterback for San Francisco next season, but his input will carry at least a little weight. Kittle in an appearance on Von Miller’s podcast said the starting job is Purdy’s to lose.
There’s a caveat that Purdy has to be healthy by training camp, which there’s some question about after the QB told a Bay Area radio station that there’s still a chance he requires more than a regular repair. Kittle offered his thoughts on other 49ers QBs, but made it clear he believes in Purdy after the 2022 seventh-round pick’s nine games as the top QB.
