If they are playing against the 49ers back ups all year, YES! To be fair, all accounts said they looked great in joint practice as well. Crosby was a terror as usual and they had Purdy, Lance and Darnold handing out picks like they were candy at halloween.
Pre season is indeed meaningless. Joint practices too. I never get up or down pre season except for injuries.

Those were a lot of our backups, too.
I really hope one of your QB's isn't a total pumpkin this year. Of course, the 49ers' roster is so stacked that it never really seems to matter who your QB is (except for that poor kid in the championship game last year).

Josh Johnson? He had a good first preseason game for the Ravens. I think he is their 3rd string QB. He definitely wasn't ready for that moment. Thanks for reminding me of that game. Starts out with an Eagles TD because Shanahan didn't throw the challenge flag and then when 49ers get the ball Purdy gets blown up because Shanahan has a backup TE responsible for blocking Haason Reddick.
Shanahan is one of the best coaches in the league. Maybe even top 5 but he has made some major blunders in huge games.

Yeah, I had forgotten his name. Man, I felt bad for that kid. He got absolutely thrown to the wolves for his NFL debut. I'm glad he's getting another shot somewhere.

To be fair to Josh Johnson he was a practice squad QB all year. Philly had the best DL in the league. He hadn't seen anything close to that and in hostile Philly to boot. I don't fault him. Just that kind of year for the 49ers. Lost all their QBs. I really thought the season was over when Jimmy G went down but Purdy played great and they made a run. Was a great year nonetheless.
