As I posted earlier, prior to glass Jimmy landing in SF, the Niners had a 71 year history. In all that time, they needed to go to a third quarterback 8 times in a year. Recent bias makes us all want to have 3 quarterbacks, but that's not the odds. This team Clearly likes to go with two, with a third or more on the PS, and perhaps a vet that knows the system on the couch with a phone.
We've got three quarterbacks that can't go on the PS or the couch without them being pilfered. Why is that?
Yeah, ive mentioned that before. It's not a sustainable strategy to have 3 really solid QBs on the roster, especially on Gameday. Guys like darnold here won't want to sign here and be inactive on game day - development and pay reasons.
it would also make us sacrifice an active guy at another position of need on game day that we could really use.
so I think it's one of the three things:
- they don't expect Brock to be healthy week 1 and will trade someone later
- they plan on trading someone before the season stsrts
- the new emergency qb rule will allow us to have three without causing an issue (if passes - don't know the details though, will they get paid less for not being active etc).
