The San Francisco 49ers seem to have their quarterback problem worked out, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions heading
into the summer. Although quarterback Brock Purdy is expected to start for the team in 2024, he is currently the lone quarterback on
the roster.
In 2023, San Francisco’s backup quarterbacks were Sam Darnold and Brandon Allen. However, both will become unrestricted free
agents in the upcoming weeks, which is the reason Bleacher Report suggests Tyrod Taylor of the New York Giants make a move.
The report from February 19 says, “The 49ers aren’t going to ignore the backup QB role after losing Purdy to injury in the 2022 NFC

Though unimpressive, this represents Taylor’s current professional persona. He’s lost a little bit of his speed going into his fourteenth
NFL season. However, he is still a reasonably clean dual-threat passer.
And for those who believe he’s not a reliable fallback choice because
