The San Francisco 49ers are happy with Brock Purdy, they are back in the playoffs and closer than ever to another Super Bowl.

After Jimmy Garoppolo was injured everyone thought it was the end of the season for the 49ers but things went better than expected.

The 49ers finished the regular season as one of the big favorites to win the Wild Card round and they did so against the Seattle Seahawks 41-23.

But it seems Saban was wrong about Purdy, the 49ers are in the 2023 Playoffs thanks to Purdy and his game style, plus the 49ers are likely to make it to the Super Bowl if Purdy stays healthy.

On the other hand, the 2022 College Football season for Alabama was ‘okay’, they had a good record but it was not enough to reach the 2023 CFP National Championship.
