If Darnold is our week 1 starter then we'll have a huge problem

No it'll just mean he beat out Trey. If that happens, so be it. I want the better QB between Darnold and Trey to keep the seat warm for Brock.

This.

Right. I mean, just look at how the season was over when we had to turn to a freaking rookie 7th round pick!

Thank you. This is how you expose incorrect logic.

Lol. Darnold is a good signing. Low risk move.

I agree. Low risk guy that knows he's not gonna be the starter at this point. Gets to come back to CA and learn how to be a backup

Dude Lance hasn't shown s**t. But I get that Lance will be given every opportunity to start so chill out man.

It was once a good laugh that Brock Purdy could start his rookie season. Any is possible so stop being a weirdo yourself.
Very smart insurance. With the amount of talent and money the Niners have invested in star players they simply cannot ever again play an important game with someone like Josh Johnson. Darnold is good enough that they can win with him in an emergency

Purdy's not going to be ready for the season. They always give these optimistic time tables, but we all know how it goes. Sam will be an okay QB2 in case Trey gets injured running up the middle again.

You are assuming Trey is better than Darnold. So far Darnold has shown he is more efficient, has a higher completion ratio, has more NFL and college experience. Darnold is better so far on paper in the NFL then Trey so the off season competition between them may show Trey up to be not much at all. They are both 3rd picks in the draft except one has a lot more football experience. We shall see.

Only reason I say that is because its just a one year deal. They don't seem that committed to him. It could be a Josh Rosen signing all over again where they just cut bait

It could well be another Josh Rosen situation. But on the other hand he could lift his game given we have better QB coaches than the Jets and Panthers. Plus there are the Debbos, Kittles, CMCs, Juices etc. It will be an interesting offseason and I am sure if he raises himself up to his 3rd pick potential they will extend him.

It's not weird to imagine Darnold playing a few games in a pinch, to bridge to Purdy.

You give all the reps to Lance. You evaluate his progress. If he's not playing well, and Darnold is playing well, you don't HAVE to play him until Purdy returns. A couple of games is not a real chance for Lance to develop anyway. You play the best QB you have until Purdy is ready. Trey has an opportunity to be that guy, and the starter going forward even when Purdy is healthy, depending on how he's playing.

Why.... we haven't seen what he could do if he has the Talent the 49ers have....and the coaching as well.

Wasn't it you that already mentioned this scenario before? They're acting like it's crazy but I've seen Darnold beating out Trey mentioned as a possibility before

What was so wrong?? Trey Lance your little brother or something??
Smart insurance move.

3rd stringer who'll play when there isn't anyone else - Leaps and bounds better than Josh J.

Darnold looked good last year before he got hurt.
