good news and bad news for 49ers qbs

On Tuesday, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance told reporters he'd be cleared soon after undergoing two surgeries on his broken ankle. Lance is expected to be a full-go by OTAs. This is good news for the Niners, who are expected to be rid of Jimmy Garoppolo soon and have Brock Purdy out for at least six months.

Trey Lance says he’s 3-4 weeks from being fully cleared for practice. He said he’ll be 100 percent for OTAs

Speaking of 49ers QBs, rookie Brock Purdy is currently awaiting second opinions on his injured UCL - a repair vs. reconstruction surgery will determine the time he will be able to return to football activities. Purdy told reporters on Tuesday that he will make a final decision soon.

more QB news:

  • The Pittsburgh Steelers opened the season with QB Mitch Trubisky before turning to rookie Kenny Pickett in Week Four. It took Pickett a bit to warm up, but he emerged from the 2022 season almost in the postseason and is getting better every week. Tight end Pat Freiermuth agrees. "He was just so much more confident and so much more urgent and knew what he was gonna do. So it took him a little bit to get going, but showed that he's the real deal."
  • Trevor Lawrence will replace Patrick Mahomes on the Pro Bowl roster, as Mahomes has something more important to take care of.
    • Jared Goff will replace Jalen Hurts in the Pro Bowl, as he's also playing in the Super Bowl.
  • If you weren't sure if the Pro Bowl was a joke yet, you will now. Baltimore Ravens backup QB Tyler Huntley is heading to the Pro Bowl in place of Josh Allen. At the time voting closed, Huntley had thrown zero (as in, none) touchdowns on the season.
  • It's not a secret that the Buffalo Bills made Josh Allen put it all out on the field. General Manager Brandon Beane says Allen took too many hits in 2022. "The only thing I'd get on to him is he's got too many bruises on him. And we've got to work on taking less hits. That's the only reason I'm ever going to criticize Josh is just take less hits." Maybe that's something Beane can work on this offseason; just saying.
  • Frank Reich has been through the wringer regarding quarterbacks - it started with Andrew Luck and went downhill. Reich is now with the Carolina Panthers and basically has a blank slate. Reich explained how his time with all different kinds of quarterbacks could help him decide which direction to go with Carolina. "I've had to work with the young, the old, the pocket passer, the guy who moves. And I think even though it wasn't always an ideal scenario, like in Indy having a different quarterback every year, I did learn a lot through it because you're forced to adapt and evolve your offense around different styles of quarterbacks."
  • Derek Carr will also attend the Pro Bowl, which should be renamed to Mid Bowl, at this point.
  • The Denver Broncos hired their next head coach Sean Payton, and one of his biggest tasks is to fix Russell Wilson. In 2022, Wilson had one of the worst seasons of his career, and his new coach is already somehow convinced he can be the one to resurrect the old Russell Wilson. "Russell is a hard worker and has played at a high level and won a lot of games in this league. The pressure is on us to put a good run game together and reduce the degree of difficulty on his position. I'm excited about him." Let's ride, indeed.

Its not easy to play in Seattle and all eyes were on San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. Purdy finished the first quarter 9-for-9 as the Niners lead the Seahawks 7-0.

The cherry on top was this 28-yard touchdown to tight end George Kittle.

----

The 49ers went on to beat Seattle, 21-13, clinching the division title.

Purdy was efficient in his first road start, completing 17-of 26 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns.

more Qb news:

  • The Cincinnati Bengals are playing Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend, so people will be comparing the two quarterbacks. Joe Burrow doesn't have time for that, though. "I don't pay attention to it. He's Tom, and I'm Joe. I really just think that I play the game my own way."
  • Desmond Ridder is the new starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, and he's giving all the credit to the team for preparing him, even though he's a rookie. "I'm prepared for this. This is what they've been preparing me for. They didn't want to baby me. It means going about the game plan how a 12-year vet, an eight-year vet, whatever it may be, would."
  • Despite having a talented roster, the Las Vegas Raiders are about to miss the playoffs again. And on top of that, it's looking like quarterback Derek Carr may be on the move this offseason. Carr says he doesn't think about his future during the season (yeah, right). "I've always tried my best to - as I've gotten older in my career - just eliminate all of those things."
  • The Tennessee Titans have lost three straight and fired their general manager. But they aren't dead yet. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill acknowledged that they have to turn things around fast. "Everything we want is still right in front of us. You want to get hot at the right time. This is the end of the year. This is the point where we want to start getting hot as the season finishes."
  • Lamar Jackson did not practice on Thursday. Tyler Huntley practiced in full.
    • John Harbaugh said Huntley cleared concussion protocol on Thursday, but did not name him the starter for Saturday's game. (Hint: He'll likely be the starter.)
    • Jackson was officially ruled out for Saturday's game. Huntley has no injury designation.
    • Cleveland Browns defender Myles Garrett had some high praise for Huntley.

Myles Garrett on Tyler Huntley: "God damn, he's fast. It felt like you were trying to chase down a chicken doused in honey. This guy is athletically one of the top guys in the league."

— Jamison Hensley (@jamisonhensley) December 15, 2022
  • Trevor Lawrence's emergence is upon us, and he says he's focused on playing this way moving forward and, of course, proving the haters wrong. "Honestly, I have a little bit more of a chip on my shoulder now just because of the last year and a half. I don't really forget what's been said and what people have written. Now, you see people change their mind after a couple weeks."
    • Lawrence returned to practice on Thursday as a limited participant.
  • Drew Brees accepted a temporary coaching position at Purdue.
  • Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson wants to see Mason Rudolph start at QB if Kenny Pickett can't play. A bold denouncement of Mitch Trubisky? "Yeah, I wanna see him play. I know he's ready to play."
    • Pickett was limited in Thursday's practice.
  • Russell Wilson returned to practice for the Denver Broncos on a limited basis.

Russell Wilson will be limited in practice today. Dre’Mont Jones seeing a hip specialist. Not practicing today. #9sports

Kyler Murray suffers knee injury in Monday Night Football

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray suffered a non-contact knee injury on the third play during Monday Night Football.

Murray was in the middle of a scramble when his knee appeared to buckle. (I'm not going to post the video, but you can look for it if you want to see it.) Murray was carted off the field, surrounded by teammates, and quickly ruled questionable to return. Murray was later ruled out by the team in the second quarter with a knee injury.

Backup QB Colt McCoy replaced him.

Both teams went over to console Kyler Murray on the cart □□□□□□ pic.twitter.com/XNUxZgNFA9

Reports began to emerge throughout the game that Murray had torn his ACL. Murray will have an MRI on Tuesday to confirm.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray is expected to have an MRI tomorrow but there is "little doubt that it’s torn," a source told me, referring to the quarterback's ACL.

  • San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw will be one of the lucky few to be able to tell his grandchildren that he intercepted the Tom Brady one day. Thankfully, he has proof. Greenlaw made sure to get Brady's signature on the ball for safekeeping.
    • Is there a chance Brady could be on the Niners' field in 2023, but on the roster? "I don't go there," he said. "I'm just trying to get this right, and see what we can possibly accomplish."

  • Speaking of Brady, adding to his problems is a potential hand injury. Brady downplayed the injury, saying he feels fine, but the video shows a pretty hard shot.

  • Justin Herbert had a big night on Sunday, setting the record for most passing yards through his first three seasons with 13,056. The previous record-holder was now-retired QB Andrew Luck. Herbert had this to say about Luck: "I've got a ton of respect for Andrew Luck. For him as a football player, as a person, as a teammate - I think it's just cool to be in the same conversation as him."
  • The Dallas Cowboys had to breathe several sighs of relief after coming away with a near-loss to the worst team in the league, the Houston Texans. Amongst a string of blowouts, the Cowboys were heavily favored in this one and came away with a 27-23 win. Dak Prescott thinks this type of win will make them a better team in the long term. "This will serve us more than I think the Minnesota game or even the way we finished the last game when it comes down to it because we're going to play some tough games as we get going."
  • Brock Purdy won fans over as he beat Tom Brady in a blowout, and he won over his teammates as well. Nick Bosa praised the rookie's performance: "I had a lot of confidence in him, but obviously, it's the NFL, and you've got to perform. And he did that pretty darn good."
    • Purdy is dealing with an oblique injury and had an MRI on Monday. He is expected to be ready to play on Thursday despite the injury. Purdy was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

#49ers QB Brock Purdy is getting an MRI today on his injured oblique, per source.

Purdy got hurt on the game's second drive Sunday, and obviously played well after it. So, not a lot of concern pending further tests. But a quick turnaround for Thursday night in Seattle.

  • Patrick Mahomes threw an uncharacteristic three interceptions on Sunday, but he's thankful the rest of the team was able to step up when he had a bad day. "The defense made a lot of stops in critical moments when we were putting them in some bad situations."
  • Jeff Saturday says Matt Ryan will remain the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts following the bye week.
  • The Washington Commanders activated Carson Wentz off of injured reserve on Monday. He will serve as Taylor Heinicke's backup.

  • Andy Dalton will remain the New Orleans Saints' starter for Week 15.
  • New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Mike White is day-to-day after suffering a (series of) rib injury on Sunday. Saleh wouldn't commit to Joe Flacco or Zach Wilson starting in his place, or as the backup. I know what the obvious choice is.

Saleh is non-committal on whether it will be Flacco or Wilson for QB2 this week, so it sounds like there’s a chance Wilson could get a bump up. #Jets

  • The Atlanta Falcons announced their quarterback change - to rookie Desmond Ridder. Head coach Arthur Smith said that while it was a performance-based decisiont to bench Marcus Mariota, he will go to injured reserve, ending his season.
  • Russell Wilson exited Sunday's game with a head injury and he was placed in concussion protocol, where he remains. Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said on Monday that all they can do is go through the process. "

#Broncos coach Hackett says Wilson feels great today. But he’s in protocol #Denver7 pic.twitter.com/2x4OTvm0RA

— Troy Renck (@TroyRenck) December 12, 2022
  • The Baltimore Ravens are unsure who will start at QB this week. With Tyler Huntley in concussion protocol, it could be Anthony Brown this week. Head coach John Harbaugh said he has no update on Lamar Jackson's status, which likely means he won't be able to go after missing just one week with a PCL sprain. "I really don't have any updates that I would be allowed to share on that."

  • The Kansas City Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals face off this week, a meeting of two of the best young quarterbacks in the league in Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow. Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd thinks it'll be a classic rivalry. "It's going to be a quarterback fight. I look at it like Manning and Brady. You can't stop them. It comes down to whoever excels and takes advantage of their opportunities in drives and scores points."
  • Jalen Hurts was named the NFC offensive player of the week for Week 12.
  • Trent Dilfer is expected to become the next head coach at the University of Alabama-Birmingham.
  • Amid rumors that Russell Wilson has lost the Denver Broncos locker room, a report surfaced on Wednesday that only about half the team showed up to his birthday party. I'm trying not to laugh.

There’s been some gossip about Russell Wilson’s standing in locker room. Here’s some context. Per source Wilson’s wife Ciara thru him a birthday party last night and “it looked like about half the team was there.” On player’s day off. Why do people have to be so hurtful? #9sports

Mike White came out swinging, immediately showing he was better than Zach Wilson, giving the New York Jets a 7-0 lead on this eight-yard touchdown to Garrett Wilson.

White and the Jets came out with a win, with White throwing for 315 yards and three touchdowns.

It's safe to say, this will be Mike White's job for a little bit.

The Miami Dolphins ended up pulling starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa before the end of the game because they had the Houston Texans so far in the hole.

The Dolphins were up 30-6 when they pulled Tagovailoa with just over three minutes left in the third quarter.

Tagovailoa earned these MVP chants this week.
Sam Darnold played his first game of the season after suffering an ankle injury in the preseason. And.. surprise. He added a much needed spark to the otherwise lifeless Carolina Panthers offense.

Darnold didn't blow anyone away - he was 11-of-19 for 164 yards and one touchdown - but he was better than Russell Wilson and the tanking Denver Broncos by a mile.

And now I present to you, the most Sam Darnold touchdown of all time.

Panthers head coach Steve Wilks confirmed Darnold will remain the starter after the bye week.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had one of his best games of the season, and one of his toughest challenges in the Baltimore Ravens defense.

Lawrence marched his team down the field in the final seconds of the game, and then executed a near-perfect two-point converstion for the win.

more Qb news:

  • The Green Bay Packers, and more notably, Aaron Rodgers, aren't doing so hot this season. Rodgers has been dealing with a thumb injury for most of the season, which has been revealed to be an avulsion fracture. This injury usually requires surgery - Rodgers has been playing through it. A few more L's and we could see Rodgers heading to injured reserve and possibly surgery.
    • A report from Jay Glazer on Sunday stated that the injury was affecting Rodgers' accuracy.
  • Deshaun Watson is set to be reinstated on Monday. Yuck.
    • Jacoby Brissett spoke after the game (and his last presumed start for the Browns) about how grateful he was for his opportunity to step in for Watson.

  • Matthew Stafford was ruled out for Week 12 following a neck strain. Stafford also dealt with "concussion issues" (depending on who you ask) the week before. With a current 3-7 record, it seems stupid to play your QB, who may be dealing with serious injuries, so Stafford may not return this season.

  • Some confusion ahead of Bears-Jets: Chicago Bears backup quarterback Trevor Siemian injured his oblique in warmups, pointing towards third-stringer Nathan Peterman making the start for Chicago. Siemian got a pain-killing injection and ended up as the starting quarterback. It was quite riveting.
    • Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said starter Justin Fields is getting better, but didn't commit to him being back next week. "We think that he's getting better every single day. At gametime today he wasn't ready to perform and protect himself."
  • A semi-viral moment occurred when Denver Broncos defensive tackle screamed at quarterback Russell Wilson on the sideline (he is all of us). Wilson downplayed it (because of course he did), saying he just wanted "a spark." Mmmk.

Russell Wilson on exchange with Mike Purcell: "Mike and I are on the same page. He came off after he kicked the field goal and he was pissed off. He said we've got to f-in go. I agreed. ... There's no animosity. We've got to win."

The Cleveland Browns ended their four-game losing streak against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. While Cincy was missing star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, the offensive line was god awful and Joe Burrow had a horrible night as a result.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has the touchdown catch of the year so far with this one-handed grab from QB Kyler Murray.

Hopkins is coming off of a six-game PED suspension and is still one of the best in the league made sure to stick his hand out while being smothered by Minnesota Vikings defenders.

The Cardinals went on to lose this game, 34-26.
No one wants to win the NFC South.

In a close game, the Carolina Panthers had wide receiver DJ Moore line up to receive a Hail Mary attempt from QB PJ Walker, which was caught.

But before they had a chance to get excited, Moore ripped off his helmet, which is a (lame) penalty for excessive celebration, generating a flag by the refs.

New England Patriots starting quarterback Mac Jones was promptly benched after throwing an interception in the second quarter, and was replaced by Bailey Zappe who, you guessed it, immediately threw a touchdown pass. Zappe took the Pats' offense right down the field, going 3-for-3 for 54 yards and capped off by a touchdown to Jakobi Meyers.

A spinning grab by @jkbmyrs5!

Zappe continued to throw absolute dimes, with this one in the second quarter - a 43-yarder to DaVante Parker, to set up the touchdown to give the Patriots the 10-0 lead.

The Bears (surprisingly?) ended up winning this one, forcing four turnovers and giving Bill Belichick the business. One of the more impressive turnovers was this grab by Jaquan Brisker.

NOTES:

  • Bears lost center Lucas Patrick in the first quarter, where he was declared doubtful to return with a foot injury. He was carted to the locker room.
  • Jones got away with a Diqq Kiqq right to the balls of Bears DB Jaquan Brisker. Brisker left the game for a play, and then returned to promptly catch the interception that got Jones benched. Taylor Swift sings about karma, and it exists.
  • Patriots safety Kyle Duggar limped to the locker room in the second half, where he was ruled questionable to return with an ankle injury.
  • Bears defensive lineman Mike Pennel was ejected after a blindside block on Pats David Andrews.

more:

  • It has finally happened. Through years of pain and anguish, quarterback Matt Ryan has been benched for the Indianapolis Colts, meaning Sam Ehlinger will start for the remainder of the season.
  • New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall was confirmed on Monday to have torn his ACL in Week 7. Right tackle Alijah Vera-Tucker will also miss the remainder of the season with a triceps injury.
    • To replace Hall, the Jets are acquiring RB James Robinson from the Jacksonville Jaguars for a conditional sixth-round pick in return. Robinson gives them some much-needed help at the position.
  • Speaking of injuries teams being decimated by injuries, the Los Angeles Chargers are also down two players. Cornerback JC Jackson will miss the season with a ruptured patellar tendon. Wide receiver Mike Williams will miss some time with a high-ankle sprain.
  • Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said wide receiver DK Metcalf, who left Sunday's game with a knee injury, will not need surgery and will rehab the knee. That's good news considering.
  • TIP: Keep an eye on Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett, who many think could be fired if they do not come out of London with a win.

ooof of the day:

  • The NFL is investigating this incident, where an NFL referee approached Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans and asked for an autograph following Sunday's game. Sources say you're not fucking allowed to do that.

The NFL is reviewing the incident involving side judge Jeff Lamberth and line judge Tripp Sutter, I’m told.

The NFL-NFLRA CBA specifically says game officials “shall not… ask players, coaches or any other team personnel for autographs or memorabilia.” pic.twitter.com/2suFfK3MWL

DAk Prescott still not ready to play

While it was expected he'd return in Week 5, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott doesn't seem ready to see the field yet. Owner Jerry Jones spoke on Tuesday and stated that Prescott can't yet grip the football "well enough to play."

Is Cowboys QB Dak Prescott currently able to grip the ball with surgically repaired thumb?

Jerry Jones to @1053thefan: “No, not well enough to play.”

Prescott injured his thumb in Week One and has since had surgery. While he was eyeing a Week Five return, backup quarterback Cooper Rush has been holding down the fort quite well at the position and, therefore, shouldn't Rush it. Haha get it?

So, when will we see Dak Bak? (I need to stop with these puns.) I think Prescott will return when he is:
  1. Wholly recovered and/or healthy.
  2. Whenever Rush has a god-awful game and things start to go downhill quickly.
  3. Whichever of those comes first.

more:

  • While this was technically announced on Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers officially announced rookie Kenny Pickett as the team's starting quarterback in Week Five. Former starter Mitchell Trubisky stunk up the joint for just four weeks before head coach Mike Tomlin announced the move to throw the keys to the rook. Here's hoping this is the spark they need.

  • The Indianapolis Colts have the privilege of playing on Thursday Night Football this week and running back Jonathan Taylor was absent from practice on Tuesday while he deals with an ankle injury. Taylor plans to play, but based on the severity of the injury; he may not be able to go. That's terrible news for the team that already sucks.

  • Speaking of Thursday Night Football, Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson was limited for the second-straight day with a shoulder injury. However, he will likely play, and they're just taking precautions for the short week. A ringing endorsement for TNF, always!

#broncos Russell Wilson (right shoulder) was limited in practice today for the second day in a row.
