Everything was stacked against Purdy in the Niners’ game against the Rams. He was still outstanding.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy runs against Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Kobie Turner, left, and defensive tackle Braden Fiske during the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024, in Inglewood, Calif. Yes, the Niners might have choked away a game they should have won nine times out of 10, but the good news is they also wasted a downright brilliant performance from their quarterback, Brock Purdy.
With their top three offensive playmakers sidelined, with an offensive line that can’t protect him, and a defense that is keen to give up yards in bunches , Sunday’s game was a referendum on the young quarterback who is set to re-set the quarterback pay market next offseason.Exceptionally well, it turned out. He played in a kind of game that should end any line of questioning like that being posed again.Kurtenbach: Deebo’s out.
Ronnie Bell had two egregious drops, including one on a pass that would have effectively ended the game with a 49ers win had it not bounced off both hands in front of his facemask. In all, Purdy had a team that, in three-wide receiver sets, featured Bell, a slow Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, a second-string, journeyman tight end in Eric Saubert, and Jordan Mason, all behind a line that was getting worked over by an unimpressive Rams’ front again and again.And he not only repeatedly delivered tight-window throws on the money, but he did a great job extending plays with his legs, creating opportunities from nothing, and allowing his receivers to separate.
