Joshua Dobbs is looking towards the future after his performance in the 49ers' season finale against the Arizona Cardinals, where he was thrust into the starting role due to Brock Purdy's injury. Despite a solid effort, which included 326 passing yards and two touchdowns, Dobbs faced challenges with three turnovers, ultimately leading to a 47-24 defeat for San Francisco.

Dobbs, having spent the majority of the season as a backup, expressed his desire to seize the opportunity. He scored on a 1-yard run and connected with Ricky Pearsall for a touchdown, but costly mistakes hindered his team's chances. Coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged Dobbs' efforts but noted that the turnovers were detrimental.
