We are just over a week away from the San Francisco 49ers’ preseason opener in Las Vegas, meaning it’s time to dive into important training camp-related topics.

Steve Wyche, Chief National Reporter for NFL Network, joined Whitey & Watkins on Friday afternoon to talk about the San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback battle, discuss Trey Lance’s current standing in the competition and much more.

Plus: Is San Francisco’s championship window shrinking, or can the 49ers maximize their potential during the next 4-5 years?
