Quarterback struggles have been a theme from the early portion of 49ers training camp, particularly on the third day when first-year starter Trey Lance tossed an interception while only completing a few of 10 or 11 throws depending on who’s tracking you follow.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan, despite some of the mistakes under center, likes what he’s seen from his QBs. He told reporters ahead of Friday’s practice that training camp is a good time to make some of the mistakes his signal callers are making.
“But I just like that they’re ripping it,” Shanahan said. “What you don’t want guys to do, especially in training camp, is say, ‘I thought it was there, but I don’t want to throw a pick, so I checked it down.’ Sometimes you need to know whether it was there and the only way you do that is by letting it rip.”
