The San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback position remains uncertain, especially after facing multiple QB injuries last season. Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a foot fracture during a game against the Dolphins, and Trey Lance had a fractured ankle in Week 2 of the 2022 season.
Amid these challenges, Brock Purdy stepped in admirably, helping to keep the team afloat. However, he too encountered setbacks due to injury this year. As speculation continues about his performance in the upcoming season, the legendary three-time Super Bowl champion, Steve Young, recently shared an intriguing comparison of Purdy with the iconic franchise protagonist.
For Young, Purdy is a phoenix!

In a recent appearance on “49ers Talk” with Matt Maiocco, former 49ers player Steve Young shared his keen insights on Brock Purdy and the 49ers’ situation. He expressed, “Quarterbacking is that way. When I see someone who has ‘the Force,’ I don’t know how to tell you all the intricacies at what makes that… Brock had it so thick.”

The 61-year-old continued, drawing a striking comparison with the $910 million Star Wars protagonist, “It’s like Luke Skywalker — right away, he had it….he has the Force, and maybe as strong as anybody who’s played.” Young’s intriguing take on the 49ers quarterback sparks curiosity.

Who will be the signal-caller for the 49ers?
As the team gears up for the upcoming NFL season, the 49ers face a crucial decision at the quarterback position. While they firmly believe that Brock Purdy is their long-term solution, he missed the OTAs due to his recovery from surgery on his right (throwing) elbow’s ulnar collateral ligament. In the meantime, the 49ers have three capable signal-callers under contract: Trey Lance, Sam Darnold, and Brandon Allen.
While Darnold provides reliable depth, the real competition lies between Lance and Purdy to secure the quarterback position of the future. Trey Lance’s potential remains untapped, as he didn’t get a proper chance to showcase his abilities. On the other hand, after Jimmy Garoppolo, Purdy stepped up and impressed, throwing 13 touchdowns, which has put the 49ers in a dilemma. Considering the situation, the 49ers must carefully weigh their options to determine who will lead the team’s offense in the upcoming season and beyond.
