Two touchdown lead will do that...

Shanahan and these Niners weapons are the real deal. People are going wild for Brock Purdue but it ain't him.

Yeah. He's not the next Tom Brady.

Bingo.

Purdy is an awesome story but I don't think it lasts. 

It's lasted so far. I think he'll make it to the NFC Championship. The kid is making the reads, he isn't scared and he not only can move, but he knows when and how to move either in or out of the pocket. He also knows when to  bail out of a play, that's wise beyond his experience.

Not saying he doesn't have great weapons and protection around him and a defense that helps immensely, but we've all seen guys who had all that and couldn't do much with it.

I completely agree that the team around Purdy is ridiculous and Shanahan is an offensive genius (I mean he got Matt fuging Ryan to the SB and an MVP...). That being said, Purdy has been incredible too, considering the circumstances (3rd string 7th round rookie). I honestly think he's been playing better in Shanahan's system so far than Jimmy G ever did even in their SB run. I know, that's not saying much since Jimmy G has been overrated when Shanny deserves the credit, but if he keeps playing like this they have a better chance to win it all than they have had before under Shanahan in my opinion. The worry for them though is teams having more film on him and he'll struggle against the elite defenses he'll see later in the playoffs.

      Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."

      Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...

      Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
