Backup quarterbacks are kind of a big deal with the 49ers.You can thank Jimmy Garoppolo for that. Nate Sudfeld was poised to be the backup to Trey Lance heading into the season, however Brock Purdy has emerged of late Malcolm Subban Kids Jersey and hasnt been too shabby considering hes Mr. Irrelevant and all. Now, his last outing versus Houston in the preseason finale was shaky, but Purdy has shown some nice moments that indicate there is something the 49ers can work with.Initially, I thought he wouldnt make the final cuts, but he has good chance to make it. So does Sudfeld given the fact the 49ers guaranteed him $2 million and really like him. If Kyle Shanahan doesnt want to part with either, he could very well keep both players on as hes done in the past with Nick Mullens and C.J. Beathard. So will the 49ers roll with three quarterbacks into the regular season? They wont.Scroll to ContinueWasting a roster spot for a third quarterback is malpractice. It's an obsolete concept to Max Pacioretty Jersey hold onto three quarterbacks. Two is enough no matter the circumstance because the reality is if Trey Lance goes down due to injury for a long period of time, then the James Neal Men Jersey 49ers are done for. They're not getting by for more than a couple of games with Purdy or Sudfeld as the starter.Depth is something the 49ers have preached and worried about, especially with running backs, at other positions. To allow a third quarterback onto the active roster would be insane. The 49ers are without Jimmie Ward for the first four games of the season, so depth is already a need for them at safety. As much as I want to believe the 49ers will see it this way, I wont put it past Shanahan to hold onto both Sudfeld and Purdy. Yeah, it's always hard, but it's something you debate every year, said Shanahan on keeping three quarterbacks. Its something we'll debate this year. It's not Brayden McNabb Jersey always just the quarterbacks, it's how it plays out with other positions. And with how its playing out at other positions right now, there shouldnt be a third quarterback. I would like to see the 49ers cut Sudfeld and sign him back to the practice squad. No one is going to claim him, so the 49ers will still have him around. Its not Cody Eakin Women Jersey like the reps hell get as a backup will progre s him anyway. Purdy is the one who could be swooped up by another team if cut. He has more value than Sudfeld. Keeping him is the no-brainer, but does Shanahan think that? Well see soon enough.
