Matt Maiocco stopped by the Murph & Mac show on Thursday to discuss what Shanahan and Lynch will be looking for in tonight’s final preseason tune-up.

Maybe it was obvious the whole time that the 49ers would take three quarterbacks.

For most of the offseason, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has played somewhat coy about whether the 49ers would keep two or three quarterbacks on the roster.

The 49ers won their third preseason game 27-17 over the Kansas City Chiefs while Jimmy Garoppolo and near all the team’s starters who were active had good games.

The defense, at least, will feel good heading into the second half of this week. Jimmy Garoppolo? Not so much.

There are six days until the 49ers play their second preseason game against the Denver Broncos.

The 49ers’ first preseason game saw too many early injuries, including one, to offensive lineman Shon Coleman, is likely season-ending.

There wasn’t an exact time on the 49ers’ practice, but it went for roughly two hours, the longest so far. Why’d practice go so long? Reps. Sweet, tasteful reps of 11-on-11s. 71 reps, to be exact.

In the NFL, nothing can derail a season faster than losing your starting quarterback. The San Francisco 49ers found that out are hard way in 2018, as things went south in a hurry after Jimmy Garoppolo went down with an ACL tear in Week 3.

The NFL Network reporter seems to believe there may be potential trade value in the 49ers’ backup quarterback situation.
