The 49ers enter the offseason with a question mark at the quarterback position, coming off a season when they used three different starting quarterbacks but still reached the NFC championship game. Trey Lance, Jimmy Garoppolo and Brock Purdy all started games for San Francisco, combining to lead the team to a 13-4 regular-season record.
With Garoppolo a free agent, Lance and Purdy seem like the two most likely options to start next season. That idea was bolstered recently when 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said he doesn’t envision a scenario where Garoppolo would return to the team next season.
However, 49ers legend Joe Montana thinks the team should retain the veteran.
