STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Mac Jones kept 49ers competitive as Purdy's backup; possibly best backup in league.

Mac Jones is characterized as possibly the best backup quarterback in the league. He kept the 49ers afloat during Purdy's turf toe injury that sidelined Purdy for half of the 2025 season, entering in Week 6 and playing until Purdy returned in Week 11. The source frames him as a valuable break-glass-in-case-of-emergency option on an expiring deal.
