Analyzing Day 15 of the 2023 49ers QB Competition

Breaking down Day 15 of the San Francisco 49ers quarterback competition.

Transcript

00:00 Here's what Brock Purdy, Trey Lance, and Sam Darnold did on day 15 of 49ers training camp.

00:06 Brock Purdy completed just 11 of 20 pass attempts and threw 2 interceptions plus a third that

00:12 was dropped.

00:14 To be fair, he also threw 2 beautiful touchdown passes from the 10 yard line, one to Brandon

00:18 Iyuk in the back left corner of the endzone and one to Debo Samuel in the back right corner

00:22 of the endzone.

00:24 But the story for Purdy is the interceptions.

00:26 He's becoming a walking turnover.

00:29 Through 12 practices, he has thrown 10 interceptions, 4 pick 6's, and 7 dropped picks.

00:38 Which means he has thrown 17 interceptable passes in 12 days.

00:42 Not good.

00:43 Today, he threw a pass directly to backup linebacker Curtis Robinson, who dropped the

00:48 pass because he's a backup linebacker.

00:51 Had he caught it, he had nothing but green grass in front of him.

00:55 Earlier, Purdy threw another pass directly to Robinson, but this time he caught it because

00:59 if you give him 2 chances, he's going to catch one.

01:02 And then in the red zone, Purdy forced a pass to Brandon Iyuk, who wasn't open.

01:07 Diamandor Lenore reached out and tipped the pass to Tashawn Gibson, who recorded his 4th

01:11 pick of training camp.

01:13 Earlier this week, Kyle Shanahan said Purdy would have to melt down in practice to lose

01:17 his job.

01:19 Every day Purdy throws multiple interceptable passes feels like a meltdown.

01:22 He does not appear ready to start week 1 in a few weeks.

01:27 Trey Lance.

01:28 He completed 4 of 6 pass attempts, fumbled once, and did not score in the red zone.

01:33 But hey, at least he didn't throw an interception.

01:35 The 49ers better freaking hope Purdy is ready to start week 1 because Lance hasn't gotten

01:40 enough reps in camp to be ready.

01:42 He clearly is better than he was the last 2 years, but he still seems like a rookie

01:45 at times.

01:46 Sam Darnold.

01:47 He completed 5 of 9 throws and threw a touchdown pass to Brayden Willis from 10 yards out.

01:52 Darnold isn't great, but he just might be the best quarterback on the team.

01:56 He arguably has had the best training camp of these 3.

01:59 But the 49ers haven't given him a rep with the first string offense in more than a week.

02:03 They've given both Darnold and Lance crumbs, which means none of their quarterbacks currently

02:07 are ready to play.

02:08 What a waste of time.
