49ers QBs dominated against zone defense in 2025

The San Francisco 49ers got elite quarterback play against zone coverage from both ends of its depth chart in 2025, according to a chart from FTN Fantasy measuring defense-adjusted Value over average (DVOA) against zone defense.

Backup quarterback Mac Jones ranked third in the league at 25.7% DVOA against zone looks, while starting quarterback Brock Purdy checked in right behind him at fourth with a 25.4% mark, among quarterbacks with at least 75 attempts. The pair trailed only Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (34.5%) and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (29.1%), putting two 49ers quarterbacks inside the top four of the entire NFL.
