Deebo Samuel on 49ers quarterbacks Brock Purdy and Trey Lance

Brock Purdy. Trey Lance.

The 49ers offseason has been dominated by questions about the quarterback situation.

On Monday Deebo Samuel joined the Zach Gelb show on CBS Sports Radio. By now, most have heard the clip where the 49ers receiver abruptly ends the interview. However, prior to ending the discussion Samuel made some interesting comments regarding Purdy and Lance.

When you look at your QB roster right now, that’s been a big topic of conversation. But when you look at Brock Purdy everyone’s expecting him to be the starter. Do you think he’s the best quarterback on the roster right now?

DS: “I don’t do too much talking about that. That’s for Kyle and John Lynch.”

What do you think he can do during an entire season? We only saw him for about six, seven games.

DS: “I mean, what he did last season.”

So, you think he can do that during an entire season, what he did last season in a small sample size.

DS: “Yes sir.”

Let me ask you about this then. Trey Lance as a quarterback, what is he because I still don’t know?

DS: “Very versatile, strong arm, smart young man.”

What has he (Trey Lance) kind of shown you over the last few years?

“How fast he can pick up things because everything was thrown at him at once. His first year he was behind Jimmy Garoppolo and when he first got a chance to show people what he could do he got an injury.

Just coming back into minicamp and watching Trey, it’s been a significant improvement.”
