On this episode, Dylan puts a wrap on the San Francisco 49ers' 2022 season. The 49ers improved on their 2021 season by going 13-4 and winning the NFC West division, but they underwent a crazy amount of turnover at the quarterback position all season long. Trey Lance, whose was primed to prove himself in Year 2, was lost for the season in Week 2 and Jimmy Garoppolo, who filled in solidly, also suffered a season-ending injury in Week 13.
Down to their third-string QB, many expected the 49ers to crater and miss the playoffs; however, rookie Brock Purdy became one of the biggest surprises of the season with his effective play as San Francisco returned to the playoffs. However, while San Francisco made it back to the NFC Championship game with Purdy, their QB woes made it with them as both Purdy and fourth-stringer Josh Johnson were victims of the injury bug, giving them no chance against the Philadelphia Eagles and ending their very successful season on one full of what-ifs.
