San Francisco 49ers instructed Brock Purdy is “clearly higher” than Trey Lance in commerce warning

The San Francisco 49ers face a major mystery over their quarterback position, with “Mr Irrelevant” Brock Purdy shining even in the absence of first-round draft pick Trey Lance

Trey Lance and Brock Purdy will compete for the San Francisco 49ers seed

The San Francisco 49ers have been told they have a big problem with quarterback Trey Lance’s future as Brock Purdy is “clearly better” than the first-round draft pick. Purdy was brought to the starting position after Lance sustained a season-ending injury and has made the role his own.

Purdy made an immediate impact after taking the seed in San Francisco and leading the team to the playoffs. The quarterback was selected with the last pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, earning him the nickname “Mr Irrelevant.”

The young quarterback shouldn’t be the team’s starter this season, especially considering Lance finished third overall in last year’s draft. Now, however, it looks like the 49ers will have to choose between Lance and Purdy next season.

In his podcast, NFL pundit Bill Simmons explained that the 49ers may have to trade Lance because Purdy is the better player. Purdy led the 49ers to victory over the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL Wild Card Round on Saturday night.

The youngster threw for 332 yards, three touchdowns and was not caught in the win – it was his first playoff game ever.

On Monday, Simmons explained, “What are you doing with Trey Lance? They traded all of those picks to get Trey Lance. They end up getting a quarterback who is clearly better than Trey Lance in the last pick of the draft.”

Brock Purdy has been great since he played for the San Francisco 49ers

“So what are you doing now? Is Trey Lance available? Would you trade for Trey Lance? He’s coming in with an injury… They’ve got two quarterbacks that could probably start for other teams. But as long as Purdy doesn’t completely self-destruct, he’ll go on being that guy.

“12 teams need a quarterback. You will probably keep it. Purdy was 18-30, 332 yards, three touchdowns and no picks. It continues to be the most incredible story.”
