What is your favorite regular season story for 2022 so far?

Now that the regular season is winding down and the team is humming on both sides of the ball, the winning streak along with the playoff fever just right around the corner, there are so many little stories that make this season fun. But 3 of the biggest individual stories above happens to be spearheading the winning streaks. Brock Purdy story, Nick Bosa Defensive Player Chase, and CMC Mid season trade. Well, we know Purdy will win in a land slide here, so who's your other choice? Other than the gameday threads, these 3 stories happens to be the busiest thread the last few weeks. Just like the question posted above, what is your favorite story so far?

Too easy. No one saw Purdy coming off the bench to make headlines for the national media.

Yeah after watching other teams having to turn to their backups or 3rd stringers it really makes you appreciate Brock. And also shows how good our coach is

Got it. National media, sure. But for you, Purdy? He's the STORY the last month, recency bias, no? Maybe remove Purdy then lol!

Maybe change it too 3rd string QB with no drop off in play. That hits full season.

Haha!!! Too easy! Maybe I'll change it to Bosa and CMC effect. Purdy is going to win running away.
I love all of them, but I have to give a shout-out to the CMC trade because that was what essentially turned our season around. It's basically the story of the present (helps us a ton for 2022, and perhaps 2023-2025, but not much longer).

Purdy could be the story of the long-term future though, which is why everyone's eyes are on him. And Bosa? Well, that's the story of the present AND future right there. DPOY and a massive extension this offseason? Yes please!

The numbers may show Purdy and JG on equal ground but the eye test shows an improvement at the position. That pass Kittle "intercepted" traveled 45 yards in the air. Gotta love the pocket awareness too. If the improved play continues through the postseason, wrap that trophy up and send it to Santa Clara.

This.

Honestly this story feels like it's all a dream. Don't wake me up!
Purdy. It was already an exciting season and his emergence, especially given the circumstance, has kicked it up to another level. One of the most interesting stories across the NFL.
To me, Bosa's production is no surprise. I won't say I "expect" anything from a player, but how he's performed is exactly what I anticipated. He's the best player on the team not named Trent Williams.
Wrapping the NFCW so early and just WINNING in general 🤣🤣
