The San Francisco 49ers will have a new quarterback for the 2024 NFL season. Josh Dobbs recently joined the NFC West team, and now he has sent a strong message to Brock Purdy on the competition for the starting job.

However, the club knows that Purdy must have a decent backup to support him. They lost Sam Darnold this offseason, but quickly found his replacement and signed Josh Dobbs in the free agency.

“At the end of the day, he wins football games and he plays efficient football,” Dobbs said about Purdy. “That’s all you can ask for. So that’s what I’m most excited about, just being able to obviously provide my perspective on what I’ve learned throughout the league and be able to assume whatever role that looks like this upcoming year. But to be around that and that coaching and that type of player and that type of room and that consistency, I think it’d be really good for me, and I’m excited to see what I’ll be able to add and help the team with for this upcoming year.”
