The San Francisco 49ers have a tough riddle to solve for the 2023 NFL season: who’s going to be their starting quarterback. Now, HC Kyle Shanahan has heated up this tough competition between Trey Lance and Brock Purdy.

Last year, the 49ers had three different starting quarterbacks: Trey Lance, Brock Purdy, and Jimmy Garoppolo. The first two stayed in the team, but their injuries raised a lot of questions among fans.

Even though most fans see Trey Lance as the clear starter, Brock Purdy’s performances have brought a lot of doubts. Kyle Shanahan sees the quality of the 2022 Mr. Irrelevant, and he really likes what the number 13 has brought to the team.
