San Francisco 49ers quarterback Sam Darnold and teammate quarterback Brock Purdy throw passes before the start of their pre-season game against the Los Angeles Chargers at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Friday, Aug. 25, 2023. Darnold arrived in the offseason after Jimmy Garoppolo, the No. 2 last season, left for the Raiders in free agency as the 49ers picked Brock Purdy, last year’s third-stringer, as their new starter.
The quarterback injury carousel is not a device unfamiliar around the league, but the 49ers’ version brings particular intrigue because of its history: Steve Young supplanted Joe Montana; Colin Kaepernick took over for Alex Smith; and Purdy replaced Garoppolo and Trey Lance.The 49ers have been positive since training camp about Darnold learning coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense, but there isn’t much to parse from this regular season: He is 1-of-1 passing for 1 yard.
He did not play in the first 11 games of last season with the Panthers after suffering a high ankle sprain in training camp and did not get the starting job back until Week 12. He went 4-2 as a starter, though he completed just 58.4% of his passes. He amassed 1,143 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions with a QBR of 51.4, right around average.
The prior season, he was Carolina’s starter for the first nine games before suffering a concussion and losing the starting job. He returned to relieve an injured Cam Newton in a Week 15 loss against the Buccaneers, then lost road starts in New Orleans and Tampa Bay to finish the season. Over those three games, he was 61-of-100 for 541 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.San Francisco 49ers |Purdy: 2-1 record, 41-63 passing, 569 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT, 70.8 QBRNick Mullens: 3-5 record, 64.
