Today on The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi discuss a busy week for San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks and the newest member of the team's coaching staff.

(2:20) Brock Purdy has reportedly settled on February 22nd as the date for his UCL surgery, which is still expected to be just the repair and not the full Tommy John procedure. However, what's with the timing of the surgery? Why is the surgery still nearly two weeks away? Even if he recovers as expected, Purdy would miss most of training camp. And what happens if his recovery isn't smooth?

(17:23) The guys also discuss Trey Lance, who's been on the media circuit down in Phoenix ahead of the Super Bowl. Has Lance ever said a bad thing about anyone? Has he ever slipped up? He continues to say all of the right things -- whether it's about his teammates, his mindset, or anything else. Does that impact your belief in his ability to play quarterback?

(33:09) The 49ers hired former Carolina Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks to be their next defensive coordinator. How does he fit in Santa Clara and why were the 49ers attracted to him? The guys also discuss the reported falling out between Jimmy Garoppolo and Kyle Shanahan, but can you really blame Garoppolo? Wouldn't you be frustrated, too, if you were in his shoes?
