Following the 49ers first loss of the season in Cleveland, there have been tons of overreactions. Some range from Brock Purdy isn’t capable, the defense isn’t strong enough, or even the 49ers aren’t Super Bowl contenders and being overrated quickly.
All are laughable. Purdy will struggle again in games during his career, the defense surrendered less than 20 points, and the 49ers will lose more games this season. None of that equates to the 49ers not being a Super Bowl contender.
If social media was around when the 1994 49ers got blasted by the Philadelphia Eagles, 40-8, I wonder if people would be worried if the team was a Super Bowl contender.
