The 49ers liked Brock Purdy a lot, but they did not know how much until they saw him on a daily basis.
“I will say from Day 1, [Purdy] engendered confidence with the way he’s conducted himself and, most importantly, the way he’s played,” Lynch said. “Every step of the way, he’s checked the box.”
Purdy demonstrated he could process information quickly and learn the intricacies of the offense. He also impressed the 49ers’ decision-makers with his guile, his ability to show nuances of his play, such as using his eyes and body to manipulate linebackers. When the 49ers selected Purdy, Shanahan compared him to former San Francisco backup Nick Mullens. However, it became apparent early on that Purdy possesses a stronger arm and more athleticism.
Purdy entered the starting lineup in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins following Garoppolo’s foot injury, which is likely to end his season. Then, Purdy made his first NFL start Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Purdy has done his part to contribute to the six-game win streak the 49ers take into Thursday night’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.“I will say, Kyle was incredibly calm about the prospect of Brock playing, and that gave me confidence.
