Under every innocuous post about San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy leading the NFL in some category are a handful of comments saying something along the lines of his supporting cast props him up.
People have a hard time acknowledging two things can be true, to a degree, at once. Any quarterback would be blessed to play with the 49ers’ skill players and have Kyle Shanahan calling plays, not to mention the best left tackle in the sport blocking for them.
Maybe the Niners haven’t been televised enough this season because there are three or four times a game where Purdy makes a “wow” play and bails out the offensive line after eluding pressure or hits a receiver in stride 35+ yards down the field.
