The 49ers began the 2022 NFL season with a quarterback battle and will begin the 2023 season with the same. San Francisco has a decision to make about its future at the position and it is one that it surely would not have expected to make just eight months ago.
Where Kyle Shanahan had to decide between Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance last year, he will have to decide between Lance and Brock Purdy. Garoppolo will not be returning to the team.

In a four-team trade, the defending champs parted ways with their former No. 2 pick to bolster their bench.
Amidst a flurry of trade-deadline deals on Thursday, one high-profile former top pick changed area codes: Golden State reportedly dealt James Wiseman, the No. 2 pick in the 2020 draft, to Detroit in a four-team deal that also sent Pistons forwards Saddiq Bey to Atlanta and Kevin Knox to the Blazers.
