Shanahan said Garoppolo could be back for the NFC Championship. If he's back, they have a chance. Purdy has taken them as far as he can. 

Shanahan said he "would be surprised" is Jimmy G w3oudl be healthy next week. I doubt Jimmy G is active. 

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said he "would be surprised" if QB Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) is available next week. 

Garoppolo shed his walking boot and was cleared to work off the side at practice this week. While there's hope Garoppolo can return this postseason, Shanahan said there's a "better chance" he'll be available for the Super Bowl if the 49ers get there than the NFC Championship. Garoppolo would be returning as a backup to rookie Brock Purdy if he makes it back.

#1 defense in the NFL. I wouldn’t bet against the niners even with Purdy at QB. Defense still wins championships.  

I agree with that. But running QBs present challenges that defenses can't always prepare for. The 49ers linebackers do have wheels though. If any defense can keep up with Hurts, they can.

I think Purdy is as good as, if not better, than Jimmy G tbh

Purdy was very limited in the throws he could make yesterday. If you can take away the middle of the field, he's relegated to screens only. I don't think I saw one deep out route or hitch/comeback completed outside the numbers.

Don't think he's any more limited in his throws than Jimmy. Let's not act like Jimmy is a dynamic QB that can extend plays and throw it deep either.

I just don't see Purdy being able to keep up with Hurts and the Eagles. He limits the offense now. There's enough tape on him now to scheme him have to play to his weaknesses.

Oh heck no, I don't think Jimmy is very good. He was the biggest hinderance to that offense. Purdy is definitely better extending plays. Jimmy has better command of the offense though. But to be fair, he should.

We’re going to end up with f’n Wilks… smh

We will see. It will be interesting to read about how the interview went today. I wasn’t on the Payton train but I think I’m leaving that way, maybe Tepper doesn’t let him leave lol.

Im excited to see how Purdy does in that situation. I really want a Bengals v Eagles Super Bowl with Bengals finally winning one. So Im rooting for the Hurt-y of Purdy.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
