You can’t pin the struggles solely on the 49ers’ quarterback.
San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback Brock Purdy stands on the sidelines in the second quarter of their preseason game against the New Orleans Saints at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Aug. 18, 2024. SANTA CLARA — The 49ers and Saints canceled their joint practice in Irvine this week, and boy, did it show in the first quarter of Sunday’s preseason game at Levi’s Stadium.
Cowing will need to do much, much more to justify playing time, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he made the most of it upon receipt.He put on a mastercalss of punting, with four of four punts being pinned inside the 10-yard line . Is Mitch Wishnowsky getting Wally Pipped? He really shouldn’t have been on the field — he has nothing left to prove.
So if there is any quarterback controversy, it is for who will be Purdy’s backup. That race, it seems, is wide open.He just keeps making plays. I doubt the 49ers keep four tight ends, and I can’t imagine a world where Cam Latu, the 2023 second-round pick makes the team. ButThe 49ers starting right tackle repeatedly lost one-on-one reps on Sunday, even against second and third-string defensive ends.
