The San Francisco 49ers are sitting at a frustrating 2-3, which is leading to analysis surrounding every minor statistical trend on the team. This week, the fact that quarterback Brock Purdy has been holding onto the ball longer than in previous seasons has sparked some questions. Purdy himself was asked if he had concerns about the trend during his media availability on Tuesday.
“I feel like there’s just been some plays where I’m scrambling and stuff just because what the defense is doing in terms of dropping eight and giving us some different looks in that regard,” Purdy said when asked about the increase.
