Mentioned this the other day and have to think this is how Sam Darnold viewed #49ers. Not all No. 3 QB jobs are created equal. If you're a backup going to a team with 2 injured QBs ahead of you and that team offers a chance at success, it's better than No. 2 in a worse situation.

@nwagoner Darnold will start the season as the 49ers 2nd string QB soooo
@nwagoner This a good take but theres a big chance based on previous seasons under Shanny that Darnold starts and/or plays significant time and he knows he could use that opportunity to make himself look like a real QB
@nwagoner Maybe Kyle feels this way with him as well... There's not many guys who can go anywhere and be great very very few I'd argue if Mahomes went to the jets he wouldn't be where he is in the NFL... Now that's a drastic example bc he might be one of the few who could be good anywhere,
@nwagoner I really hate to say this because of what it means for both Lance and Purdy, but there is about a 60% chance that Darnold starts a game this season.
