My son is living the dream. Purdy is one step closer to cementing himself as the 49ers’ 2023 starting QB and San Francisco legend.
Back in December, with the regular season still a few weeks away, I ranked the 49ers as the NFC’s top title contender. Granted, I’ve praised San Francisco’s defense all the way, but I didn’t exactly give the shortstop the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft when I wrote the following.
It freshly cut 23 t Looks like he belongs, huh? Clearly, Purdy benefits greatly from having an elite play-caller in Kyle Shanahan and an array of game-changing weapons at his disposal. If Debo Samuel returns with fresh (and healthy) legs for a postseason run. Be careful.
Purdy started Saturday’s game against rival Seattle looking like an overpowered rookie making his first playoff start, but then he settled in, settled in and destroyed the Seahawks in a 41-23 victory. Finishing with 332 passing yards, three touchdowns and an additional rushing score, Purdy became the first rookie with four total TDs in a playoff game. And honestly, it was his most impressive performance of the day vibrating arrow that Brandon Ayuk went down in the end zone.
Mr. Unaffiliated? Forget that nonsense. Purdy is now 6-0 in NFL starts with 14 touchdown passes, two rushing scores and just two turnovers in those games. He was astounding, maximizing the aforementioned “smorgasbord of game-changing weapons” in San Francisco’s offense. And I’d say DeBeau really is back in the playoffs with fresh legs, judging by his line on Saturday. nine catches for 165 yards and one touchdown. So yes, be careful. This is definitely the team to beat in the NFC that is a legitimate signal caller to forge a Super Bowl run.
