Going into Sunday's NFC Championship game, the were already down to their third-string quarterback ( ), but after an injury to the rookie, San Francisco was just one big hit away from being forced to play a quarterback who has never actually played quarterback.With Purdy on the sideline that he suffered on the first po se
Kyle Fuller Jersey sion of the game, San Francisco turned to fourth-stringer , but then he got injured in the third quarter (concu sion), which left the 49ers down to their emergency quarterback.So who is the emergency QB? That would be either Kyle Juszczyk or Christian McCaffrey, according to the Fox broadcast. It started to look more and more po sible that one of those two guys could end up taking taking a few snaps under center. With Johnson out, the 49ers put Purdy

William Perry Jersey If Garoppolo had gotten injured in that 27-7 win, then the 49ers would have had to turn to Juszczyk. At the time, Juszczyk made it clear that he wanted no part of playing QB. "I told Jimmy in the locker room, I said 'Hey man, don't make me play quarterback today,'" Juszczyk . "And he promised he was going to do everything he could to not let that happen."
