“It’s Actually Mad Unfair”: George Kittle’s Comments on Brock Purdy’s 49ers Future Inadvertently Puts Trey Lance’s Job at Jeopardy

Brock Purdy has been a hidden gem for the San Francisco 49ers. He has gone from Mr. Irrelevant to leading the ailing 49ers all the way to the NFC Championship Game. Even though the inexperienced quarterback was not able to lead his team to the Super Bowl, he proved his mettle as he picked up after Jimmy G and Trey Lance. He earned the respect of all of his teammates. This was very clearly visible from the 49ers’ tight end, George Kittle’s recent words. However, Kittle’s words might not be the most respectful for the 49ers’ most underrated QB, Trey Lance.

Bleacher Report Gridiron put up an interesting tweet that showcased a video of Kittle on a podcast, speaking about Purdy’s excellence. However, he also had some mentions of Trey Lance that seemed to have rubbed off the fans in the wrong way.

While it did not sound like he was bad-mouthing his Lance, he did indirectly come close to revealing that Purdy might be the first choice for QB1 next season. Fans were not happy with Kittle’s words and they made it very clear when they were unhappy with his comments.

The 49ers are truly spoilt for choice when it comes to their quarterbacks. However, it remains to be seen if the overlooked Trey Lance will get a chance next season or if it’ll be a Purdy show through and through.
