How can we make the right decisions? How can I become more aggressive? How can you protect the ball wisely? This is my job.
I have to be the supervisor and get the information to the right people.” Purdy recognizes San Francisco’s top talent, but understands the 49ers can only go as far as they want to go. Purdy dashed San Francisco’s playoff hopes. Purdy’s In the few postseason moments he’s had, he’s been the quarterback the 49ers needed.
Last year, Purdy completed 41 of 63 attempts for 569 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions in three NFC playoff starts.Purdy completed 69.4 percent of his passes and threw for 4,280 yards in 16 games during the 2023 NFL season. 11 interceptions, 31 touchdowns and one hand.
