Rob LowderHOST
Um, and then you've got Curtis work who earned a spot on the 53 man roster, despite this roster being, uh, pretty thirsty for extra spots and look good in his, in his one outing.
Rob LowderHOST
But that's kind of, it's almost like what we expected to see from Curtis Rourke.
Rob LowderHOST
You've been here a while now.
Rob LowderHOST
You got a red shirt year.
Kyle PoseyHOST
I know Jordan James was drafted last year, but he didn't play until the playoffs.
Kyle PoseyHOST
They looked like they could be competent.
Kyle PoseyHOST
They looked like they could help you for long stretches where if Rourke was a guy you might only trust for one to two games, I think the 49ers would be comfortable running with Black and James if anything does happen to McCaffrey.
Kyle PoseyHOST
But ideally that doesn't because, I mean, what McCaffrey does, the things that he commands from a gravity standpoint in the passing game, I think that alone is where it gives you like a B minus B baseline for what he means in the passing game.
Brian MurphyHOST
'Cause they don't have a...
Brian MurphyHOST
They didn't bring in another camp guy after Curtis Rourke broke his ribs, did they?
Markus BoucherHOST
No, not that I've seen.
Markus BoucherHOST
And you're right, Mac Jones and Brock Purdy did not play a single snap week one.
26 MINS LATER
Markus BoucherHOST
Now, Kyle Shanahan did also address the game plan for this game, said we most likely won't see a lot of starters.
Markus BoucherHOST
It might be pretty similar to what we saw week one.
Markus BoucherHOST
Week one, we saw a lot of Curtis Rourke and a lot of Adrian Martinez.
Markus BoucherHOST
Two questions for you.
Marcus BoucherHOST
It's a lot of Adrian Martinez.
Brian MurphyHOST
Because they didn't bring in another camp guy after Curtis Rourke broke his ribs, did they? No,
Marcus BoucherHOST
not that I've seen.
Marcus BoucherHOST
And you're right.

Marcus BoucherHOST
Two questions for you.
Todd HusakGUEST
week one in Australia
Marcus BoucherHOST
yeah Todd I'm with you it feels like the focus is starting to slowly shift back towards focusing on the actual football on the field and the 49ers will play one more preseason game tomorrow night in Las Vegas taking on the Raiders now Kyle Shanahan did also address the game plan for this game said we most likely won't see a lot of starters it might be pretty similar to what we saw week one week one we saw a lot of Curtis Rourke and a lot of Adrian Martinez Two questions for you.
Marcus BoucherHOST
What quarterbacks do you think we're actually going to see tonight? Is it only going to be Adrian Martinez? And then the second part, what do you think the 49ers are going to do in the quarterback room with Curtis Rourke? Do they want to keep three quarterbacks? Do you think they can maybe manipulate it to get him on the IR to sneak him onto the roster? How do you think the QB room plays out tomorrow night and for the remainder of the season?
Todd HusakGUEST
I think Curtis Rourke proved in that short period of time.
Todd HusakGUEST
I mean, we talked about it a couple weeks ago where there was talk like, did he establish himself enough in that quarter and a half to make some movement? If, if somebody comes calling, if there's an injury across the league in week one or two, does Mac Jones become a trade target? Do they feel comfortable enough with Curtis? I think Curtis work has established himself as the number three.
Todd HusakGUEST
I think if they put them on waivers or if he's available, somebody will snap him up because he is, he showed enough in that quarter and a half to, he has what it takes to be a successful NFL starting quarterback.
Todd HusakGUEST
And also he's able to show, maybe he becomes trade, has some trade value.
Todd HusakGUEST
Uh, now you put yourself, expose yourself in two years where you know that Matt Jones will not be back.
Wayne BreezyGUEST
So let's go...
Wayne BreezyGUEST
My quarterbacks, Purdy, Jones, Rourke, right?
John ChapmanHOST
Purdy, Jones, Rourke.
John ChapmanHOST
Yep.
Wayne BreezyGUEST
All right.
Matt BarrowsHOST
I mean, um, I don't know if it's the same injury, but we saw Jordan James with a rib injury miss three weeks.
Matt BarrowsHOST
So, I mean, if it's the same for Curtis Rourke, I know he's not taking hits, but I think throwing the torque it requires in your chest is pretty demanding.
Matt BarrowsHOST
We might not see him, you know, certainly for this game.
Matt BarrowsHOST
And it's a great question.
Matt BarrowsHOST
And that may be what they do.
Matt BarrowsHOST
But, yeah, that's another good one.
Matt BarrowsHOST
It's sort of a weird dynamic there because I think you can bring up a guy from the practice squad three times, and then if you put Rourke on IR or something like that to begin the season, he would miss four games.
Matt BarrowsHOST
So there would be a bit of a math issue.
Grant CohnHOST
Brock Purdy doesn't throw those passes very much.
Grant CohnHOST
Curtis Rourke does.
Grant CohnHOST
Mac Jones does.
Grant CohnHOST
But Brock's the s- the starter.
41 MINS LATER
Grant CohnHOST
That's encouraging because I think the, the main question mark for this team is the defense.
Grant CohnHOST
We know the offense is gonna be good.
Grant CohnHOST
They have two, maybe three good quarterbacks, counting Rourke.
Grant CohnHOST
They have two good running backs, two good tight ends, uh, two good wide receivers, maybe more, um, maybe a starting left guard, the best fullback in the world.
Tyler RowlandHOST
There were rookie quarterbacks that played a lot better than Cam, and they're in new systems with new coaches and new NFL, and they played...
Tyler RowlandHOST
Like Kurtis O'Rourke, you know, I don't care what the circumstances are, he absolutely outplayed Cam.
Tyler RowlandHOST
That should never happen with the number one overall.
Brad HopkinsPANELIST
Yeah.
