Steve Young: 49ers shouldn’t reduce 2022 expectations with Trey Lance starting
Trey Lance started just two games last season, his rookie campaign with the San Francisco 49ers. He is poised to take over for the team’s starter of the past four-and-a-half seasons, Jimmy Garoppolo.
The 49ers have reached the Super Bowl with Garoppolo helming the offense. In addition, the team has twice appeared in the NFC Championship Game over the past three seasons. The roster remains stacked with talent, so there are lofty expectations internally—and for many externally.
Lance is just 22 years old, so some will caution fans to temper their expectations. Lance could have a shockingly great first year as a starter. However, it’s more likely that there will be some growing pains through the course of the season.

Top 10 most impactful 49ers in 2022: No. 9 Elijah Mitchell
By Rohan Chakravarthi
Jul 16
With the 2022 NFL season approaching ever-so-rapidly, let’s take one last look at the San Francisco 49ers’ 2021 season, ranking the ten most impactful players on a team that made an appearance in the NFC Championship Game.
Earlier this week, I listed my two honorable mentions, Jaquiski Tartt and D.J. Jones, and followed with No. 10 on the list, center Alex Mack.
Now, let’s continue with the ninth-most impactful player from the 2021 season: running back Elijah Mitchell.
No. 9: RB Elijah Mitchell
Elijah Mitchell had a historic season for San Francisco in 2021 as he rushed for 963 yards, surpassing Ken Washington’s franchise rookie record of 811 yards in 1971.
What’s even more impressive is that Mitchell reached that number
Why Bleacher Report believes the 49ers will win more than 10 games in 2022
DraftKings has the over/under of regular-season wins at 10 games for the San Francisco 49ers. Only five teams had a higher over/under. They are the Buffalo Bills (11.5), Green Bay Packers (11), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11.5), Los Angeles Rams (10.5), and Kansas City Chiefs (10.5).
If Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobleski were to bet on Kyle Shanahan’s squad, he would take the over, believing the 49ers are perfectly capable of exceeding oddsmakers’ expectations. Of course, much of that depends on quarterback Trey Lance, who most expect to take over as the starting quarterback, replacing Jimmy Garoppolo. Sobleski names Lance’s potential to
49ers Most Intriguing 2022 Training Camp Battles
Rejoice! 49ers football is returning next week with the start of training camp on July 26th. The dead period for football is over and it’s time to gear up for an exciting 2022 season.
With that in mind, let’s look at some of the most intriguing roster battles that will occur during camp and the preseason.
Strong Safety
This is arguably the only unsettled position on the entire roster. Long-time starter Jaquiski Tartt is now a Philadelphia Eagle, so for the first time since 2014, safety Jimmie Ward will have a different running-mate on the back-end of the 49ers defense. The team has four candidates vying for the starting role in 2nd-year player Talanoa Hufanga, veteran Tarvarius Moore—who missed the entire 2021 season with a ruptured Achilles
