This season, we had the following stories: 49ers They were geniuses who had complete faith in Brock Purdy, but that wasn't necessarily the case. According to an article by ESPN's Nick Wagoner, San Francisco was in crisis. very Another plan for 2023.
With Purdy returning from injury and Jimmy Garoppolo headed to Las Vegas, the Niners explored an unusual plan at quarterback. It was to bring back Tom Brady for the final shot.
“The doubts are nothing new for Purdy, from youth football to college to this offseason, when the Niners looked to give Tom Brady one last shot before guaranteeing him the starting job in 2023. do not have.”
This is a very attractive factor to consider for this season for the 49ers. Purdy is often (incorrectly) rated as the biggest difference-maker for a team, but the front office is trying to get an honest look at what Brady looks like on the team before the 2023 season begins. I lacked sufficient confidence that there was.
It is unclear how far this went. Did the 49ers talk to Brady and find out he's not interested? Did they decide to withdraw of their own free will? Did the idea include Brady being the immediate starter while also serving as a mentor to Purdy going forward?
These are all interesting questions. Because it dramatically changes our perception of San Francisco this year. It also could be what the team does at the quarterback position in the future. Purdy has been great this season, but there are at least a few people within the front office who aren't completely convinced he's the long-term solution.
That's probably a legitimate concern. As it turns out, Purdy was pretty scary against. packers He put the game together when it mattered last weekend, but without Christian McCaffrey, the 49ers would be at home by now.
If the 49ers had No. 12 under center on their final ride, would it be a huge breakthrough to win this year's Super Bowl? That's something you'll think about if the 49ers stumble against the Lions in the NFC Championship Game or lose a big game.
