While the quarterback hasn't been at his best across the last two games, his contract is still an ace up the 49ers' metaphorical sleeve.
In the modern NFL, the top teams have star quarterbacks under center. Defense may win championships, but there's something to be said for having an elite talent in the position that touches the ball on virtually every offensive play. The San Francisco 49ers, however, are bucking that trend.During the 2022 campaign, Brock Purdy started out as the Niners' third-string quarterback but found himself in the top job. He played well enough to take over the role full-time in 2023.
As a former seventh-round pick and someone without the physical gifts of other stars, there's a fear that Purdy can't take over in the same way.He, for all of his talent and early success, doesn't have the arm strength of Patrick Mahomes. He can't run like Lamar Jackson.That's just something that the 49ers will have to contend with.
