At the conclusion of training camp, I think the 49er QBs will look like follows:

Trey Lance - QB 1
Brock Purdy - QB 2
Jimmy Garoppolo - starter for a second-division team. We can't afford him.
Josh Johnson - QB 4 on 90 man roster. Will never see the field again...

QB3 in the draft, or UDFA

There are tons of Free Agent QBs better than Josh Johnson who can be had for $2M or less to participate in OTAs and be a veteran backup. Might as well draft a QB with one of the many 2023 picks they will have. 

Offseason
#1 Lance
#2 Vet
#3 Rookie

Season
#1 Purdy
#2 Lance
#3 Vet

Pretty doubtful the Niners can once again strike gold (pun intended) with a later round QB, but maybe they have a knack for finding them like they do getting QBs injured ;)

There's a bunch of ex-SF free agent quarterbacks.  I think Jeff Driskel, Nate Sudfeld, Blaine Gabbert, Nick Mullens and C. J. Beathard can all be had for $3 mms. or less... ;)

No on all of the above. Flacco. Bridgewater. Heck I’d even see if Fitzpatrick would come out of retirement. I prefer a long time veteran that can step in and play at a moderate level, but certainly isn’t anybody who is going to be challenging for any sort of a long-term job. The list you mention to me doesn’t fit the moderate level test. with the possible exception, given all the 49ers weapons of Blaine Gabbert. Pending a physical, Bridgewater would be my choice
