Lance was named the 49ers' starting quarterback at the beginning of the 2022 season but suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 2. Jimmy Garoppolo took over until he was sidelined with a foot injury in Week 13. Brock Purdy, the final draft selection of 2022, then finished the season as the starter and led the 49ers to the NFC Championship Game, but suffered an injury that will require surgery.
The viral tweet by Rob Guerrera shows Lynch's statements from a recent press conference interspersed with a clip from Seinfeld. The tweet has led some fans to speculate that the team may be planning to move on from Lance. The truth of the matter remains to be seen.
