Brandon Allen Steps Up as 49ers' New Starting QB Amid Injuries
TL;DR Summary
The San Francisco 49ers are set to start veteran quarterback Brandon Allen against the Green Bay Packers due to Brock Purdy's injury. While Allen's track record is modest, his presence could prompt head coach Kyle Shanahan to innovate offensively, potentially revitalizing a stagnant 49ers offense. This may involve a heavier reliance on the run game, particularly utilizing running backs Jordan Mason and Christian McCaffrey together, and a return to play-action passing. Such changes could help the 49ers regain their offensive momentum and make a playoff push.
