Who Should I Start? Kyle Trask or Brock Purdy

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers plan to release quarterback Kyle Trask (shoulder), a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Trask will revert to Injured Reserve due to a shoulder issue and then work out a settlement or release in order to look for a new team. It means that veteran Teddy Bridgewater will open the 2025 season in Tampa as the primary backup behind starter Baker Mayfield, with undrafted free agent Connor Bazelak serving as the QB3. Trask, 27, was a second-round pick (64th overall) in the 2021 NFL draft out of Florida. He never started a game for the Bucs in his three seasons and appeared in only seven games, going just 4-for-11 passing for 28 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Trask will now be looking to get healthy and latch on with another organization and compete for a depth role.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy led his team to a 37-24 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 15, completing 23 of 30 pass attempts for 295 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Purdy also rushed for 44 yards on seven attempts. Across six games played this season, the 25-year-old has thrown for 1,442 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Purdy has battled multiple injuries so far in 2025, but he seems to be hitting his stride down the stretch of the season. Purdy has completed at least 70% of his pass attempts in three out of his last four starts, leading San Francisco to a 4-0 record and an average of 31 points per game over that stretch. The 49ers will travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts in Week 16.
