The Kyle Shanahan-led side has two of the best-rated young QB prospects in the NFL, and none of them are shoo-ins for the week one QB1 slot.<\/p>\n<p>If Brock Purdy didn&#8217;t sustain an injury in the NFC Championship game loss against the Philadelphia Eagles, this wouldn&#8217;t be a competition. However, he did, and it looks likely that Trey Lance would be QB1 on week one in the 2023 NFL season.<\/p>\n<p>Brock Purdy looks more suited to lead the 49ers to Super Bowl glory in 2023, as the Iowa State University product is a popular figure in the side&#8217;s locker room. Furthermore, he has that dog in him, a trait that neither Jimmy Garoppolo nor Trey Lance exhibited over the past two years. Let&#8217;s see if he returns to his pre-injury form; if he does, the 49ers have a gem on their hands.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<h2>How did Brock Purdy perform in 2022?<\/h2>\n<p>The 2022 Mr. Irrelevant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/is-brock-purdy-san-francisco-49ers-next-great-quarterback\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Brock Purdy<\/a> had a stellar 2022 NFL season, which made a mockery of his draft position in the year&#8217;s NFL Draft.<\/p>\n<p>Purdy finished the regular season throwing 1,374 yards for thirteen TDs and four picks. Purdy&#8217;s had a passer rating of 119.4 through his five games as a starter which is the highest for a QB in his first five starts since Kurt Warner in 1999.<\/p>\n<p>His story was one of the highlights of the 2022 NFL season, and he came close to leading the 49ers on a fairytale run to the Super Bowl. Had it not been for an injury to his right elbow in the 49ers&#8217; 31-7 loss to Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC title game, the fairytale run would have had a fairytale ending. <\/p>\n<p>He started the year as QB3 behind Trey Lance and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/jimmy-garoppolo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Jimmy Garoppolo<\/a> but ended up as the undisputed starter, even while Lance and Garoppolo had returned from injury. During the NFC title game, Purdy was diagnosed with a severe tear of his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL), which left him unable to throw the ball more than ten yards. He is currently rehabbing the elbow.<\/p>\n<h2>How did Trey Lance perform in 2022?<\/h2>\n<p>Ahead of the 2022 NFL season, the San Francisco 49ers did what everyone expected them to do- they named <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/trey-lance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Trey Lance<\/a> the starter over Garoppolo for the 2022 season. However, the North Dakota State University shot caller only appeared in two contests before suffering a season-ending ankle injury against the Geno Smith-led <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/seattle-seahawks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Seattle Seahawks<\/a> in Week Two. <\/p>\n<p>Lance is back from injury and has been spotted partaking in OTAs. He finished the season with a stat line of 194 passing yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. He was sacked twice and fumbled the ball once.<\/p>\n<div id=\"tag-cloud\">\n<div class=\"tags-text\">\n<div class=\"scrollable-content-holder  article-padding\">\n<p class=\"article-p  \">Quick Links<\/p>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerLeft\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Left \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-left.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><\/p>\n<nav id=\"pnProductNav\" class=\"pn-ProductNav\">\n<\/nav>\n<p><button id=\"pnAdvancerRight\" class=\"pn-Advancer pn-Advancer_Right \" type=\"button\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"background: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/article\/article-scroll-right.svg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<p>More from Sportskeeda<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 8px 21px 0; overflow: visible !important;\">\n<div class=\"bottom-info-container\">\n<span class=\"publisher-name\">Edited by Shamik Banerjee<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><template id=\"reply-input-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"reply-section-container\" parent-comment-id=\"\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"pic-near-reply-box\" src=\"\" alt=\"Profile picture\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><br \/>\n<template id=\"gif-box-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script> \nvar fbPixelFired = false;\ndocument.addEventListener(\"scroll\", function() { loadFBPixel() });\ndocument.addEventListener(\"mousemove\", function() { loadFBPixel() });\nfunction loadFBPixel() {\nif(fbPixelFired) {\nreturn;\n}\nfbPixelFired = true;\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? \nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, \ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '952063904834769'); \nfbq('track', \"PageView\");\nfbq('track', 'ViewContent');\n}\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/brock-purdy-vs-trey-lance-which-qb-suited-lead-49ers-super-bowl-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The San Francisco 49ers have a Brock Purdy versus Trey Lance problem heading into the 2023 NFL season.
