A look at quarterback issues around the NFL, including the 49ers’ plans for Trey Lance and whether the Raiders should give Derek Carr an extension.
Barring another major surprise like the one that sent Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos, it’s down to the Indianapolis Colts, Seattle Seahawks, Pittsburgh Steelers, New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers as five teams who likely don’t have their 2022 starting quarterback on the roster.
Any talk of keeping Garoppolo around at a $24.2 million salary to back up Lance makes no financial sense if the 49ers are serious about extending Deebo Samuel and Nick Bosa.So the 49ers anoint Lance as their quarterback just as the NFL is going back to dropback passers? Super Bowl LVI featured Stafford against Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow, a conventional downfield thrower with so-so mobility.
As good as Allen is on the ground — and he had 763 yards rushing in 2021 — he’s even better through the air with 4,407 yards passing and 36 touchdowns. That is what the 49ers and Lance should be aiming for.Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is in the last year of his contract at $19.9 million and conventional wisdom is that he’ll get a short-term extension that could double that figure in terms of average salary.

It was Scott Tolzien in 2017, Luck in 2018, Jacoby Brissett in 2019, Philip Rivers in 2020 and Wentz last season.
If Bruce Arians is serious about Blaine Gabbert being his potential starter, then it’s going to be the NFC South. An end-of-the-line Matt Ryan is far and away the best quarterback. Free-agent Jameis Winston could resurface in either New Orleans or Tampa. Sam Darnold has the look of a lame-duck quarterback with a lame-duck coach in Matt Ruhle.6. The Aaron Rodgers show
