I'm just talking about Purdy. The rest of the team is gonna get better. I'm beginning to wonder about the right side of the oline, though.
Shanny needs to get off his star players in predictable situations-- it's getting to be a tell, if it's not already.
I get that you're saying Purdy played to perfection and the rest will play better. In what ways can CMC, Deebo, Bell and Kittle improve from tonight?
Is this Brock's Mom? Brock settled in but perfection he was not.
Hard to be perfect when you got a rusher in your face every throw, because they blitzed zero, almost every down starting the game off. Once, the protection got better and Brock adjusted, he started Dirtying.

***Giants blitzed Brock Purdy all night, and he made them pay***

San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy turned in another outstanding game on Thursday night, shredding the Giants' blitz repeatedly.
Purdy dropped back to pass 39 times and the Giants blitzed him on 33 of those, a blitz rate of 84.6 percent, according to Next Gen Stats. As far back as Next Gen Stats has data, that's the most that any defense has ever blitzed in any game.
Purdy made them pay, completing 20 of 31 passes for 247 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions in the 49ers' 30-12 win.
"When they're blitzing, we can capitalize on offense with some big plays, and we had some stuff dialed up for what we were going to do when they did blitz," Purdy said after the game, via
Newsday. Still, Purdy wasn't celebrating too much after the 49ers improved to 3-0. "I don't want to get caught up in stats and stuff," Purdy said. "There's some throws out there that I missed." Purdy will keep improving, but he's already one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
