Brock Purdy has one career playoff win, and people are already comparing him to Tom Brady.
The rookie obviously doesn’t have Brady’s resume. Brady has seven Super Bowl rings. He, an individual, has more championships than any franchise in NFL history.
Still, the 49ers have won nine of their last 10 games and all seven of Purdy’s starts. They look like one of a few serious Super Bowl contenders this year.
The success prompted former Patriots linebacker turned ESPN analyst Tedy Bruschi to ask during ESPN’s Manning Cast Monday night if San Fransisco could be on a similar route to the 2001 Patriots.
