The 49ers' quarterback battle is one of the few NFL QB competitions that hasn't been officially decided. It also became one of the league Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman Jersey 's most unorthodox Sunday afternoon.
Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance rotated at the position during the first two drives of San Francisco's 34-10 win Jaaron Simmons Jersey over the Raiders. Garoppolo took 14 of the first 24 snaps while Lance took the other 10.

NFL (@NFL)Garoppolo found the rotation odd at first, but he quickly realized how enjoyable it could beas the 49ers completed two touchdown drives and kept the Las Vegas defense off balance.
"I think coming into it, it was weird at first, just Joe Kerridge Jersey having to proce s the whole thing," Garoppolo said, . "But after being out on the field, it was fun. When we're clicking like that and the defense is scrambling like that, it makes it Christan Bullock Jersey hard. We're trying to win games out there, so whatever it takes, we're going to do that."

TheRaiders' defense had trouble keeping pace with the constant changes. Players were scrambling, as Garoppolo noted, and had trouble containing both quarterbacks on the run. That's part of why each player was able to score a rushing touchdown in the Karl Kauffmann Jersey first half.

NFL ( Jeremy Clark Jersey @NFL)Like Garoppolo, Lance was a fan of the system,which allowed him to get reps with the starters. He felt as though it helped him get into a rhythm.
"It's fun," Lance said. "I trust coach Kyle Shanahan and I know Jimmy does and our whole team and locker room does. He's going Jack Blomgren Jersey to find ways to get the guys that need the ball,the ball and do whatever it takes to win games . . .It was good to get the rhythm."
Will this system continue into the regular season? It's Chad Henne Jersey worth noting that the Raiderswere sitting most of their starters in the third preseason contest. Shanahan was mum about its future, but hewas pleased with it nonethele s.
"I thought they did a good job," Shanahan said of Garoppolo and Lance. Cazzie Russell Jersey "By no means was the rotation perfect but I thought the function of it and going in and out and not knowing who it was going to be, it wasn't a planned rotation. We tried to make it situational."
Shanahan was equally mum about the overall quarterback battle. Garoppolo has been the presumed favorite since Shanahan said for the starting job.
Butif Sunday is any Adrien Nunez Jersey indication, Lance may see action during the season even if Garoppolo starts.
