Jeff Garcia Says 49ers ‘Gotta’ Start Brock Purdy, Should Explore Trey Lance Trade

It’d be Brock Purdy in and Trey Lance out if Jeff Garcia were running the 49ers … the previous San Francisco star informs TMZ Sports he’s all-in on Mr. Irrelevant in 2023!!!

Purdy took control of the QB1 reins after Lance and Jimmy Garappolo got hurt throughout the 2022 season, and he immediately ended up being a hero … winning 9 video games, and almost leading the group to the Super Bowl.

However, the 23-year-old novice suffered an elbow injury in the NFC Championship Game … leaving his status as the future starter in concern with Lance looming in the exact same QB space.

But, when we got Garcia out at the “Babes and Ballers Big Game Party” Super Bowl occasion in Arizona today … he made it clear, if Purdy’s healthy, he’d be his by far primary man under center.

“Purdy runs the offense the way [Kyle] Shanahan coaches it,” Garcia stated. “They’re not trying to fabricate plays and create like they were for Trey Lance.”

“You gotta go with the guy that’s going to make the right decisions, run the offense the way it’s supposed to be run and take advantage of the weapons around you.”

In truth, Garcia stated he has a lot self-confidence in Purdy … he informed us he believes the Niners should think about trading Lance, considering that the 22-year-old is young, athletic, and has worth.

“There may be people that are interested in that,” Garcia stated. “What can you get for him to make your team stronger, more solid? It’s something you gotta look into.”
