The Niners today have two starting quarterbacks (one of whom is already injured.)
In the first NFL game I attended. both teams had two starting quarterbacks. The Washington Racial Slurs were led by Sammy Baugh, holder of most passing records at the time and also the team punter, and Eddie LeBaron, a short running quarterback who made jump passes briefly popular. The L.A. Rams were led by Bob Waterfield, married to Jane Russell and winner of a league title, and Norm Van Brocklin, who would later win a league title with another team.
These teams played two quarterbacks. The Rams, as I recall, used Waterfield in the first and third quarters and Van Brocklin in the second and fourth quarters. The offense was notable. Both quarterbacks ended up voted into the Hall of Fame.
So far the Niners seem to be playing their two starters by running them in and out according the situation. The results may be awesome.
