This Will Be Brock Purdy's Last Season on the San Francisco 49ers [View all]

Quarterback is the most critical position on a team to determine success. For the San Francisco 49ers, they are in a predicament with Brock Purdy, but one that will end with 2024 being his last season in San Francisco.

Purdy came onto the scene for the 49ers toward the backend of his rookie season in 2022 and did so mightily. After being the last pick in the draft, Purdy threw for 1,374 yards, 13 touchdowns and only four interceptions. How Purdy commanded the offense on short notice for the 49ers in place of Jimmy Garoppolo led to him starting at the beginning of the 2023 season. That’s where things started to become more clear, though.

Purdy started strong, and continued to prove doubters wrong with the level of play. Yet, once defenses truly started to catch on to his level of play, it was clear that Purdy is a game manager quarterback. Kyle Shanahan’s offensive scheme is quarterback proof, which led to Purdy being able to play well due to how well it’s simplified. During the three game losing stretch though, the clear issues started fully showing.

When the 49ers fell behind and couldn’t rely on the run game, Purdy struggled to close games out and threw more interceptions due to not handling the pressure well. It’s clear, he is not a game-changing quarterback. During that losing stretch, he had five interceptions to three touchdowns. Those same issues held the 49ers back from beating the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl and if the 49ers truly want to win a Super Bowl, they need to move on and make this the last season with Purdy under center.
