Joe Montana says the 49ers could win the Super Bowl with Brock Purdy
to Jimmy Garoppolo in Week 13 forced the 49ers to turn to seventh-round rookie QB Brock Purdy, the infamous “Mr. Irrelevant” of this year’s draft. But, after impressive showings in one and a half weeks’ worth of work, Purdy has already appeared to win over one of the franchise’s all-time greats.
When asked this week if he believes the 49ers can go all the way, Joe Montana told USA Today that he likes their chances if Purdy continues to play like he did in Week 14. Purdy, making his first career start, completed 16-of-21 passes for 185 yards with three total touchdowns in a 35-7 home win over Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.
Montana, an NFL Hall of Famer and four-time Super Bowl champion, also said he believes Purdy needs to “just get himself into a rhythm” and allow the rest to follow. The young QB came on strong in relief of Garoppolo in Week 14, going 25-of-37 for 210 yards, 2 TDs and interception in a big 33-17 win over the Dolphins.
