11/25/24 | 49ers report card: No shortage of culprits in largest loss ever to Packers. Brandon Allen's spot start in place of Brock Purdy officially went kablooey in the second half, when Deebo Samuel deflected a pass that got intercepted and when Allen fumbled on a fourth-quarter sack. Samuel's downward season saw him drop two passes; his lone catch on four targets came on a trick play that began with him running a reverse to Ricky Pearsall, who flipped the ball to Allen for then a 21-yard catch-and-run by Samuel.

9/07/24 | Why Shanahan chose Allen over Dobbs as 49ers' backup QB. Kyle Shanahan finally sided with Brandon Allen as the 49ers' backup quarterback over Josh Dobbs after an extensive training camp battle. Though Dobbs appeared to play better during the preseason, Shanahan revealed why Allen -- San Francisco's No. 3 quarterback behind Sam Darnold last season -- got the nod over Dobbs. The 49ers coach explained during Saturday's media availability that the narrow race came down to Allen's longer tenure with the team.

8/24/24 | Who is 49ers' QB2? Only Kyle Shanahan knows, and he's not saying. There's not a lot separating Brandon Allen and Joshua Dobbs in the battle to be the backup for 49ers starting quarterback Brock Purdy. Both had their moments in a 24-24 tie with the Las Vegas Raiders Friday night at Allegiant Stadium, and to the untrained eye their competition looks to be dead heat heading in to Tuesday's cutdown to 53 men. Allen got 20 snaps and was 5-for-7 for 60 yards after taking over for Purdy, who thankfully seemed fine after making the questionable decision to throw his shoulder into Chris Smith II along the sideline on an interception return. It was a play that underscored how important a quality backup quarterback can be, something the 49ers learned the hard way losing both Trey Lance and Garoppolo (and finally Purdy) in 2022.
