I would think Darnold has a shot to start early too. Purdy may need more time. It wouldn’t hurt the Niners to see what they have with Darnold for a game or two anyway. He’s got a better arm than they’ve had in a long time. I know he makes bad decisions but with the QB friendly offense that Shanahan runs, maybe he’d look better than Purdy.
I find it telling that in the event of purdy not being available opening day, the 9ers have not only signed darnold, but they have not even mentioned or confirmed lance as the next in line to start. It is going to be a competition.
My $$ is on darnold.
… but I wouldn’t mind lance starting on the road in Pittsburgh.
