SF was boxed in because they couldn’t get a draft choice for him and because neither Sudfield or Purdy appear to be viable replacements should Lance get hurt.  

I thought I read on this thread that Purdy looked great. Now who could have opined that with such conviction?

Anyway, I digress. You're correct; SF painted themselves into a corner. Pretty poor front office work, unless they're concerned that Lance isn't all that he's cracked up to be, contrary to plenty of arm chair GMs. . . .

Purdy is a long way from being a capable NFL QB.  He looked ok v. preseason reserves (most of whom will never play a down in the NFL) but it was evident that he was forcing his throws.
