For one, Lance — a raw prospect who played his college ball in the FCS at North Dakota State — entered thewith exponentially less experience than Mahomes, who started 32 games in college at Texas Tech. Lance faced longer odds because he needed to make major improvements to his mechanics in a relatively short period of time while facing markedly bigger, faster and stronger competition.
When Lance finally regained full health and assumed the starting job in 2022, as the 49ers had planned when they drafted him, a fractured ankle ended his season in Week 2. Purdy boasts an even more affordable financial footprint as the last pick in the 2022 draft. His cap hit in 2023 is only about $889,000, and he’s secured status as Shanahan’s chosen QB after a stellar 2022 stretch run and a speedy offseason recovery from the UCL tear he suffered in the January 2023 NFC Championship Game.
