If he can't make it there, he can't make it anywhere, San Francisco...

Left my heart in San Francisco...

My mind's in Arizona...

And I'm not sure where the hell I put my lungs

He now has a better chance of starting in this year's Super Bowl than 60% of the QBs in the league.

Class act.  Guy played for 2 dumpster fires, and just went out there did the best he could (which wasn't much) and kept his mouth shut.  I don't think I've ever heard him say a bad word about anyone.

He cannot be a franchise guy, he's just not able...however, in that system, he can be a starter.

Good luck Sam, ya got one more shot.

Probably the best place for him to land. If Prudy doesn't recover he could win the starting job. He finally has real NFL coaching, its crazy.

Watch him be All Pro there 

This could be the year Sam Darnold puts it all together if he ever gets a chance to start for the 49ers.

If he is going to succeed in the NFL as a QB, SF is the place to do it---Garrapolo, Purdy,

Remember what CMC said when he got there about the way things are run. If anyone can get through and help him it's Shanahan.

I would say Darnold will likely ve a very, very distant third option for them. He shouldn't see the field unless both Purdy and Lance got down.

I was under the impression Purdy won't see the field for quite a bit of 2024.  Hence why I said until Purdy was healthy. No way Darnold starts over him.

Lance... Seems not very good. He could definitely turn it around.  But I'm skeptical. I think the 49ers are, too.

I highly doubt Lance is as bad as Darnold. He hasn't shown that so far, in his very limited action.

If it came down to a choice between starting Darnold vs starting Lance and the 49ers chose Darnold, what would that tell you?

I highly doubt you ever see that scenario other than injury. If they felt that way, Lance would be on the trade block or cut block.

It's fun for some people to think that Darnold is anything other than a #2 or #3 QB in the NFL, but he has never shown he is anything but that.

The only thing I could comfortably say I know Darnold to be is a nice guy.

I am curious to see how he functions in Shanahan's offense though, partially because I don't think Brock Purdy is some diamond in the rough that everybody missed on. He just played well within the system.

Maybe Darnold can do that too.

Darnold is at best a #2.  Signing him tells me they're long term banking on Purdy getting healthy as their answer. Otherwise maybe they try to go for a better backup.

Lance may not even be a #2, at least right now. He has looked the worst of the starting QBs on the niners.

The 49ers are good enough a #2 can look very good.
