Since Brock Purdy took over as the starting quarterback in Week 14 of 2022, here's where he ranks at the position:

• Passer rating - 1st
• Yards per attempt - 1st
• Touchdown passes - 2nd
• Passing yards - 4th pic.twitter.com/5T0gk35eNX
Without the two injuries, would Brock be playing or still watching?
This is why the best player should always get the nod.
Well if the story is true that Kyle realized early on that Brock was the best of the three - I imagine he would of eventually played after his rookie year.
it would of probably been a qb competition in camp the following year (depending on how Trey looked if he stayed healthy the rest of that year).
there are way too many variables to concretely say what would of happened but I personally think Lance would of severely struggled if he stayed healthy that year and we would of potentially missed the playoffs.
but to be fair to Kyle - just cause someone looks good in practice, doesn't mean it's going to translate to a live game. I think that was Kyle's biggest concern when it came to actually knowing if Brock was the best of the three. He needed to figure out what he had in Lance and Jimmy was a known commodity.
Thank god we have Brock. He's the man. Going to be a hell of a 12+ year ride left with him. Many chips to come.
Well, we'll never know, but I agree it could have worked out this way. Or Jimmy could have refused to return to the 49ers right before the season and Purdy then comes in Week 2 when Lance goes down.
(Also, please - would have, not would of. Sorry for grammar policing, but this is one that really nags at me. )
