The San Francisco 49ers may have lost in the Super Bowl once more, but they still have the players and resources to contend for the championship in 2024.
The 49ers are prepared to contend for many years to come, despite a few unanswered concerns, chief among them being the future of Brandon Aiyuk, who is eligible for an extension and hasn’t hesitated to demand top dollar.
The ascent of Brock Purdy, who has established himself as head coach Kyle Shanahan’s undisputed quarterback of the future, has made it all possible.
Purdy made a strong impression at center in 2023, making accurate throws on time and managing the offense’s schedule to earn his first Pro Bowl selection.
Purdy is frequently referred to as a game manager due to the team’s strong rushing game and defense, but he has demonstrated his versatility by leading the team to thrilling comeback victories in the postseason.
As Tim Kawakami of The Athletic notes, Purdy may not be the most well-known quarterback in the league, but he is the starting quarterback for the 49ers football team going forward.
“Greetings from the San Francisco 49ers football team’s new age. One that centers on Brock Purdy,” wrote Kawakami.
Deebo Samuel and Charvarius Ward’s natural successors, Ricky Pearsall and Renardo Green, were selected by San Francisco in the draft, seemingly addressing the team’s future.
San Francisco would be well advised to keep assembling the team around Purdy, who is still young and skilled enough to be the starting quarterback for many years to come.
