"We really like Chris," Kingsbury said Monday, the day after the Cardinals toppled the NFC Champion 49ers in San Francisco. "We didn't know what to expect (when he arrived), watched his CFL stuff and he was running around up there, making a lot of plays. Did a nice job picking up our offense, very active player, smart player, athletic as you can see. We wanted to get him involved and we'll see where it goes."

He was involved in two snaps Sunday. One was a rushing attempt on a third-and-1 play, where he lined up in a full-house backfield behind Murray and then the group shifted so that Streveler was quarterback. Murray moved to the slot and then went in motion as Streveler took the snap and went off the left side for a three-yard rush.

His lone special teams snap came as the up back on an Andy Lee punt early in the third quarter. The punt was not fielded and downed by the Cardinals inside the 49ers' 10-yard line.

"He plays quarterback," Kingsbury said. "It's not one of those deals where he's a slash-quarterback. He's a real quarterback. We feel good about Brett as well, and we liked what Brett did last year with his opportunities. We just felt like, for now, Strev gives us a dynamic with his special teams ability and we'll have him up (as No. 2) right now."

These statements seem to be antithetical, but getting a guy that can have an effect on the field is important. I'd say that Hundley would easily be the backup in any longer situation.

I believe it's because of COVID. Hundley is the true #2 if Murray gets sick so they have him in a bubble
Makes sense. Does anyone know whether Hundley was at the game yesterday? Is he really being kept in a bubble (i.e. separate from the rest of the team, or at least from the other QBs)?

I thought the same thing. I get Hundley is a #2 but I rather keep #1 and #3 on the active roster every week. Maybe if we get to the playoffs or its a win and you’re in game.. then yea have him active just incase.

I said this would happen...in another thread last week, when they were doing final cuts...some on here roasted me for that idea.

saw one of the practice vids and Hundley still went 2nd in a drill.

Probably nothing though.

I really don't care who the backup is. Whatever coach thinks puts us in the best position. If Kyler went down we are kinda effed anyway

If I had to guess Hundley will start if Murray has to miss any games (so 2nd string), but Strevler will be active on game days with Murray because he can be utilized a little like how Taysom Hill is used on the Saints. Just gives us another weapon to potentially make some big plays.

Hundley would have been there, he was the emergency QB. The rule is the key. If Murray has a small injury he can come out and Streveler goes in. As I noted after the Red/White game he is fine on short throws, which was all this game plan required. If Murray got seriously hurt, they’d activate Hundley and put him in. If that happened in the first 3 quarters, Murray would not be able to return to that game. It is likely a strategic idea that we could see repeated.
