Purdy remains undefeated as the Niners’ starting quarterback, guiding the team to seven of their near-franchise record 11 straight wins, including the game where he replaced injured starter Jimmy Garropolo in November.
The hype surrounding San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has reached a fever pitch this week after the phenom threw for a career-high 332 yards — the second most all-time by a rookie in the postseason — and accounted for four touchdowns — the first rookie ever to do so in the postseason — while making his sixth NFL start ever in the team’s opening round playoff win against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday.
His sterling performances coupled with his underdog background have inevitably led to a heaping of delirious energy from fans and media alike, some of which is well-deserved and some that stands out for being imprisoned by the hysteria. That over-excitement was never more evident than in an NFL Network segment on Wednesday featuring analysts Thomas Davis, a former all-pro linebacker for the Carolina Panthers, and Michael Robinson, a former Niners and Seahawks fullback.
“He’s put his team in a position to be successful. He’s done everything that’s been asked of him. And he hasn’t turned the ball over at a high rate. That’s the most impressive thing to me that shows he’s the guy that I’m going with for most poised,” Davis said.
