The San Francisco 49ers have been told they face a huge issue over the future of quarterback Trey Lance, as Brock Purdy is "clearly better" than the first-round draft pick. Purdy was brought into the starting spot after Lance suffered a season-ending injury, and has made the role his own.
Purdy made an instant impression after taking the starting spot in San Francisco, having carried the team into the Play-Offs. The quarterback was selected with the last pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, earning the nickname 'Mr Irrelevant' as a result.
The young quarterback wasn't supposed to be the team's starter this season, especially considering the fact Lance was taken third overall in last year's draft. However, it now appears the 49ers will have to choose between Lance and Purdy next season.
