Will Shanahan choose Allen or Dobbs as 49ers' backup QB? It looks like the battle to be the 49ers’ backup to Brock Purdy is coming down to the wire between Brandon Allen and Joshua Dobbs.

Could secure backup QB role Dobbs may be the frontrunner to back up Brock Purdy in San Francisco after his performance in a 16-10 win over the Saints on Sunday, Kevin Patra of the team's official site reports...

Impact Dobbs led the 49ers on three scoring drives while completing 12 of his 21 passing attempts for 133 yards, and also ran the ball three times for 25 yards and a touchdown. The Tennessee product is considered to be competing with Brandon Allen for the job, with head coach Kyle Shannahan not tipping his hand, stating, "Dobbs got to play a little bit more and I thought he did a real good job leading on some of those drives. When Brandon came in, he did the same. It was very similar to last week. The games have been tight, the practices have been tight. So, it's a good problem we have right now."

First QB used after starter Dobbs was the first backup quarterback to enter Sunday's exhibition contest for San Francisco.

Impact Dobbs wound up completing 57 percent of his passes for 133 yards and a rushing touchdown. Fellow backup Brandon Allen started the last preseason contest ahead of the Passtronaut, but the players reversed roles while serving as the backups against the Saints. Brock Purdy (2-6, 11 yards) is the unquestioned starter despite some rusty throws Sunday, but Dobbs may have leaped ahead of Allen based on both production and usage as Week 1 approaches.

AUGUST 19, 2024 • 49ERS.COM

Competing for backup role Dobbs will compete with Brandon Allen for the No. 2 quarterback role in San Francisco this preseason, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 49ers' star-studded roster has created no controversy over who will start come Week 1, leaving the battle to be Brock Purdy's backup as the key competition this preseason. Dobbs performed well in the team's first preseason contest, completing 70 percent of his passes for 146 yards and a rushing touchdown. The journeyman's lone turnover came on a failed Hail Mary attempt, so we won't hold that against him. The key takeaway from Saturday's exhibition was that Dobbs entered the contest in the second half after Allen (53.8 completion percentage for 98 yards). The two veteran backups will continue to prove their worth as the start of the regular season approaches.

Vikings turn back to Nick Mullens at QB for Week 18 matchup vs. Lions

The Vikings are turning back to Nick Mullens at quarterback, their third QB change in the last four weeks.

Vikings turn back to Nick Mullens at QB for Week 18 matchup vs. Lions

Demoted to No. 3 quarterback Coach Kevin O'Connell announced Thursday that Jaren Hall, not Dobbs, will be Nick Mullens' backup for Saturday's game against the Bengals.

Impact It's been a quick fall from grace for Dobbs after he helped guide Minnesota to back-to-back wins in Weeks 9 and 10 following his acquisition from the Cardinals. The Vikings then dropped two straight before scoring just three points last Sunday in Las Vegas. Dobbs has thrown two touchdowns and five interceptions in those last three games, while also fumbling three times and losing one. O'Connell is giving Dobbs a break, but there's a chance we could see him under center again if Mullens and Hall fail to impress.
