The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> experienced an unexpected loss against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings">Minnesota Vikings</a> on Monday night, holding a 5-2 record after an impressive 5-0 start to the season. However, the most significant development from the game emerged during coach Kyle Shanahan‘s press conference on Wednesday.



Shanahan disclosed a critical addition to the injury report, which could impact their match against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Cincinnati Bengals</a> as he told media that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy">Brock Purdy</a> had entered the concussion protocol. Despite playing the entire game against the Vikings, the quarterback started experiencing symptoms during the return flight home.



Shanahan then stated it’s uncertain when Purdy sustained the injury, as there were no apparent signs during his communication with the player: “He started getting symptoms on the plane. We finally found that out when we landed. We were all pretty asleep, but then he got all checked up yesterday and now he’s in the protocol.”



<h2>Sam Darnold Is Set to Play if Purdy Can’t</h2>



If Purdy is unable to play, Sam Darnold would be the next quarterback in line. The backup has begun preparations during the team’s practice for his first appearance starting with the 49ers while his teammate recovers.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231023#BUS#78977"></div>


The concussion diagnosis has cast doubt on Purdy’s availability for the game against the Bengals. Shanahan mentioned that, according to the rules of the concussion protocol, it is not a secure possibility that Purdy clears it in time to participate in the matchup.

In the absence of Purdy, the 49ers must turn to Darnold, who was signed as a free agent in March and earned the backup quarterback position over Trey Lance. Albeit Darnold has seen limited action this season, Shanahan expressed his confidence in Darnold’s readiness to step in if needed.


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="6539e708f2b571abd7e46371" data-title="Can the 49ers defeat the Bengals without Purdy at quarterback?" data-options="2"></div>


Shanahan showed support to his player by affirming: “I have as much confidence in Sam as I could have with someone that I haven’t gotten into a real NFL game with. He was great in the offseason. He’s been great here in these seven weeks so far and he’s always ready to go.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brock Purdy</a> is likely one of the top steals of the modern <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> era. He was the last pick in the 2022 Draft, but his career could have taken a different path if the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> hadn’t selected him.



In the 2022 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl-draft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL Draft</a>, the 49ers had the luck of holding the last pick. With it, they decided to strenghten their roster with a new quarterback, and it was probably the best decision they have had in recent years.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231016#BUS#76306"></div>


San Francisco welcomed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Brock-Purdy-2022-NFL-Mr.-Irrelevant-Age-height-college-and-net-worth-20221204-0047.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brock Purdy as the 2022 ‘Mr. irrelevant.’ </a>However, he quickly won the race to be the team’s starting quarterback, and he’s really taking advantage of this huge opportunity.



<h2>The surprising team that could have signed Brock Purdy if he wasn’t drafted</h2>



Last year, no one imagined that a ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ would become one of the best quarterbacks in the league immediately. Nevertheless, Brock Purdy proved all those doubters wrong.



With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trey Lance</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jimmy-garoppolo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jimmy Garoppolo</a> injured, the former Iowa State player jumped in to lead the offense of the 49ers. He did it so well that head coach Kyle Shanahan decided to name him the starter for the 2023 season and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-hc-mike-mccarthy-didnt-ask-the-cowboys-to-trade-for-qb-trey-lance-20230906-BUS-57974.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">trade Lance to the Dallas Cowboys</a>.



It appears that no one will displace Purdy from the starter role, as he’s proven to be a highly reliable quarterback who has impressed with his skills. However, it has been revealed that his career might have taken a different path if the 49ers hadn’t chosen him.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231024_BUS_79206_Brock-Purdy-San-Francisco-49ers-NFL-2023-1024x572_eb546e28.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="Brock Purdy - San Francisco 49ers - NFL 2023" class="wp-image-62483" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/28101246/Brock-Purdy-San-Francisco-49ers-NFL-2023-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/28101246/Brock-Purdy-San-Francisco-49ers-NFL-2023-300x168.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/28101246/Brock-Purdy-San-Francisco-49ers-NFL-2023-768x429.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/28101246/Brock-Purdy-San-Francisco-49ers-NFL-2023.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Brock Purdy – San Francisco 49ers – NFL 2023</figcaption></figure>



According to ESPN’s Kevin Seifert, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-vikings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Minnesota Vikings</a> were heavily interested in signing Brock Purdy as an undrafted free-agent at the end of the 2022 Draft. However, the 49ers got him with the last pick of the 7th round, ending their hopes of landing the talented quarterback.



The same report indicates that if no team had selected Brock Purdy, he had three preferred landing spots as an undrafted free-agent: the Vikings, the Texans, and the 49ers. Obviously, his plan turned out better than expected.



<h2>Why were the Minnesota Vikings interested in Brock Purdy?</h2>



Even though the Minnesota Vikings have&nbsp;Kirk Cousins&nbsp;as the starting quarterback, it is not completely certain that he will stay with them for longer. According to reports, they are considering trading him and getting at least a second-round pick in exchange.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231013#BUS#75395"></div>


Last year, Cousins delivered an impressive season but fell short in the playoffs. While it’s impossible to say if Brock Purdy would have experienced the same success with the Vikings as he is now with the 49ers, Minnesota certainly missed a significant opportunity by not securing him earlier.

NFL News: 49ers QB Brock Purdy could have played for a surprising NFC team

It took 11 games, but <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy">Brock Purdy </a>has finally lost a regular-season start. The former Mr. Irrelevant had led the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> to 10 straight wins dating back to last season, and his first career loss came in the most unimaginable way possible.



Despite being on the road, the Niners were favored by as many as 9.5 points by most oddsmakers ahead of their class with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a>. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deshaun-watson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Deshaun Watson’s </a>absence was expected to be a deadly blow to the home team’s offense.



However, Jim Schwartz’s defense had its most impressive performance yet, locking up one of the most explosive offenses in the game and holding them to just 17 points. When asked about the loss, Purdy didn’t hesitate to take the blame and vowed to be better:



“It’s the NFL,” Purdy told 49ers Web Zone. “You get opportunities; you got to take advantage of them. And so there was [sic] definitely some throws and opportunities, I feel like that were there for me, and I missed on them, and that made us be behind the sticks. And then you have to get a third down, which is tough on the road here. And that’s something that I got to learn from, man. So [I am] definitely going to be real about it, and we all got to look ourselves in the mirror and see the flaws and stuff and get better from it. But it starts with me.”

<h2>It Was The Perfect Storm</h2>



Everything went the Browns’ way on Sunday. The Niners lost their two best playmakers, with Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey leaving the field with shoulder and oblique injuries, respectively, and putting more pressure on Purdy to lead the offense down the field.



Purdy looked far from his usual self without his set of stellar weapons at his disposal. Even so, he made no excuses and stated that he needed to do a better job of getting the guys involved to help them fill in for the stars:



“Obviously, they’re playmakers really good playmakers, and so it hurts, but at the same time, we got guys to be able to come in and make plays, too,” Purdy said. “And so that’s on me, being able to help out guys like Ray-Ray [WR Ray-Ray McCloud] and JJ [WR Jauan Jennings] that are going to play more, Elijah [RB Elijah Mitchell] coming in. I got to do a better job with just communicating to them in the huddle, giving them some sort of expectation of what’s to come in terms of the play and stuff.”



Even despite the absences, the Niners still had a chance to win the game as the clock expired. Then, in what seemed like a true miracle for the home team, K Jake Moody missed a routine field goal from 41 yards that would’ve given them a one-point lead. It was just the perfect storm.

<h2>The Browns’ Defense Is Legit</h2>



Injuries or not, the Browns defense deserves a lot of credit for the win. Even with backup QB P.J. Walker completing just 18 of 34 passes for 192 yards and two interceptions, they were able to stay on top of their rivals and keep the game close from start to finish.



They held the Niners to 215 total yards (107 passing, 108 rushing), and forced them to go 3-for-12 in third down. They also sacked Purdy three times for a loss of 18 yards, picked him up once, and forced six punts.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231013#BUS#75432"></div>








According to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL,</a> The Browns defense officially has the least yards given up through the first five games of the season (1,002) in the past 50 years. And while it definitely wasn’t pretty, a win is a win.

Quarterbacks are often measured by their ability to protect the football, making them invaluable assets for championship-contending teams. In a league where defenses relentlessly study and adapt to exploit vulnerabilities, avoiding turnovers is no small feat.



Several factors, such as offensive line performance, play-calling decisions, and the effectiveness of wide receivers, can influence a quarterback’s susceptibility to making errors. This vulnerability is even more pronounced for young quarterbacks transitioning from the college game to the NFL.



Despite all these challenges, it’s truly remarkable that as we are five games into the season, two quarterbacks have maintained a pristine record. These two quarterbacks are <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy">Brock Purdy</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cj-stroud">CJ Stroud</a>, who have been nothing short of extraordinary avoiding interceptions.



<h2>Purdy and Stroud’s Impressive Numbers</h2>



While there are other quarterbacks like Andy Dalton and Gardner Minshew who have managed to avoid throwing interceptions this season, their limited number of starts takes them out of the spotlight. Dalton have started just one match for the Panthers, the same amount appearing in Minshew’s season with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/indianapolis-colts">Colts</a> thus far.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231010#BUS#73961"></div>


The true stellar players relating to ball security in this early part of the season are Purdy and Stroud. Purdy’s ascent to the starting role for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> last season was spectacular. Since taking the reins, the 49ers have not lost a single regular-season game that he started and finished.



Purdy has an almost perfect record, with the only blemish being a defeat to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a> in the NFC Championship game, in which the quarterback was forced to leave early due to an elbow injury in the first quarter. Despite this setback, his performance this season has been remarkable, with nine touchdown passes in just five games, showcasing his ability to lead a high-octane offense. Purdy’s

Stroud’s story with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/houston-texans">Houston Texans</a> is even more captivating. Many overlooked him before the draft, but he has proven his worth as the second pick. The Texans have a 2-3 record as the quarterback has thrown for seven touchdowns without a single interception. He currently ranks fourth in passing yards with 292.2 per game.

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231013#BUS#75189"></div>


Last year, Brock Purdy earned that nickname in the 2022 NFL Draft. Nevertheless, he has since demonstrated his potential as a starting quarterback, with recent successes in regular-season games serving as evidence.



<h2>Shannon Sharpe destroys Brock Purdy despite the QB’s success</h2>



At the conclusion of the 2022 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers made a strategic move to bolster their quarterbacks’ room by selecting Brock Purdy. Little did they know that this decision would prove vital, as they soon found themselves needing to utilize him in their lineup.



Despite having <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trey Lance</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jimmy-garoppolo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jimmy Garoppolo</a> on their roster, the 49ers faced injuries to both quarterbacks during the regular season. As a result, they turned to the 2022 ‘Mr. Irrelevant,’ Brock Purdy and this decision ultimately paid off.



After 10 regular season games, Brock Purdy remains undefeated as the starting quarterback for the 49ers. While he has displayed a high level of performance, there are still football analysts who question whether he has what it takes to lead the team.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231013_BUS_75395_Shannon-Sharpe-1-1024x576_5ee5c542.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Shannon Sharpe" class="wp-image-66133" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/28100352/Shannon-Sharpe-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/28100352/Shannon-Sharpe-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/28100352/Shannon-Sharpe-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/28100352/Shannon-Sharpe-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/28100352/Shannon-Sharpe-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Shannon Sharpe</figcaption></figure>



Shannon Sharpe, a three-time Super Bowl champion, is among Brock Purdy’s doubters. “He’s not an elite quarterback,” the former tight end said. “He’s a product of the system.”



Sharpe stated that Purdy’s performances have been bolstered by Kyle Shanahan’s gameplay. However, the former Broncos player believes that Purdy may not achieve the same level of success without a strong supporting team.



Last year, Purdy threw just four interceptions in the regular season. With five starts this year, the former Iowa State player has yet to throw a single turnover. However, this impressive performance isn’t sufficient for Sharpe to recognize his potential as a future great quarterback.



<h2>Is Brock Purdy a top-10 quarterback in the NFL today?</h2>



Brock Purdy’s talent is undeniable. Succeeding in the NFL after being selected in the late rounds, especially as the last pick, is a significant challenge, but he managed to achieve it.



However, there’s something special about Brock Purdy, and Kyle Shanahan recognizes it. Despite having a healthy Trey Lance this year, the 49ers made the decision to trade him to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a> and commit to Purdy as their QB1.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231010#BUS#74040"></div>


In the league, there are numerous elite quarterbacks, and it might be premature to place Purdy in the top 10 list. Nevertheless, some fans and analysts believe he deserves a spot among the elite, and a successful season with the 49ers this year could put an end to that debate once and for all.

Brock Purdy has been nothing short of sensational since his rookie season, leading the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">49ers</a> to the NFC Championship game. Unfortunately, an injury during that game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Eagles</a> hindered their competitiveness, particularly since it was an injury to his throwing arm.



However, Purdy has demonstrated resilience and determination in his recovery. The quarterback currently plays for one of the two undefeated teams in the league, with the 49ers and the Eagles both boasting a 4-0 record.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231006#BUS#72488"></div>


Purdy places himself among the league’s best with his exceptional decision-making. He leads the league in ESPN’s QBR, which evaluates quarterbacks on all play types on a 0-100 scale, adjusted for the strength of opposing defenses faced.



<h2>Brock Purdy Has the Highest Rating Based on ESPN’s Metric</h2>



Purdy probably won’t be leading the league in passing yards any time soon, but that has more to do with the running approach that Kyle Shanahan prefers for the 49ers offense. Nevertheless, his talent to pass the ball isn’t something to question.



His impressive QBR of 84.6 positions him ahead of even <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a>, who ranks fourth with a score of 71.4. Purdy’s performance is noteworthy as he boasts five points more than the next quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa as Josh Allen completes the first three spots.



Players are ultimately going to be judged by the number of victories they have in the season. However, it’s a fantastic tip to appear over megastars in one critical metric that give a more general view of a performance.



<h2>How Old Is Brock Purdy?</h2>



Brock Purdy is 23 years old.

The starting quarterback who has to split rent with a roomate due to low salary

NFL: Brock Purdy Ranks Ahead of Patrick Mahomes in QBR - Bolavip US

It’s uncommon to witness a starting <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> player facing financial issues. However, an elite quarterback has recently disclosed that he needs to split rent with a roommate because of his low salary.



The National Football League (NFL) stands as one of the most prominent forms of entertainment in the United States. The viewership and interest in the sport have been steadily on the rise, and the league is fully cognizant of the heightened attention it’s receiving.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231003#BUS#71715"></div>


For this reason, the league has made concerted efforts to ensure its players are well-compensated with highly appealing contracts. Financial stability among the athletes is paramount to delivering an outstanding performance for the fans.



<h2>Brock Purdy reveals he needs to share rent with a roommate</h2>



Last year, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> chose <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brock Purdy</a> as the final pick in the NFL Draft. Although he wasn’t anticipated to see much playing time, injuries to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trey Lance</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jimmy-garoppolo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jimmy Garoppolo</a> provided him with an opportunity to take the field.



Since Brock Purdy entered the league as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Brock-Purdy-2022-NFL-Mr.-Irrelevant-Age-height-college-and-net-worth-20221204-0047.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘Mr. Irrelevant’</a> of the 2022 NFL Draft, the 49ers didn’t offer him a substantial contract. San Francisco signed the quarterback to a 4-year, $3.7 million deal, which isn’t sufficient for him to afford living in the Bay Area.



Purdy is living off a $870,000 salary in the third most expensive city in the United States. “So he (a roommate) and I are still splitting rent,” the second-year quarterback said. “I still drive my Toyota Sequoia. Other than that, it’s pretty simple.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231005#BUS#72294"></div>


<h2>Can Brock Purdy get a contract extension this year?</h2>



Brock Purdy has the option to sign a contract extension after the third year of his rookie deal, and he’s currently in the second year of that contract.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> had a strong start to the season with a 3-1 record, but they had a challenging matchup against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets">New York Jets </a>on Sunday Night Football. While the quarterback led the team to a 17-0 lead, the defense started causing problems for him.



Despite a crucial scramble late in the match, Mahomes struggled with his passing and finished with just 203 yards. He had two interceptions in three matches, but threw another two against the Jets that could have been three if a holding call on didn’t nullified the turnover.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231002#BUS#71184"></div>


This performance has resulted in Mahomes ranking tenth in the league for passing yards. In a statistical category that he usually dominates, he currently ranks below nine other quarterbacks with a total of 1006 yards.



<h2>The Nine Quarterbacks with More Passing Yards than Patrick Mahomes</h2>



To secure the win against the Jets, the Chiefs turned to their running game, with Isaiah Pacheco contributing an impressive 115 yards. This harder than projected matchup caused Mahomes to slide down a few spots in the passing yards category.



In the current ranking, there are just a few unexpected names appearing ahead of Mahomes. Leading the list is Tua Tagovailoa, who boasts 1306 passing yards. Matthew Stafford follows closely, albeit the quarterback of the Rams has thrown five interceptions to just three touchdown passes.



Rounding out the top three is Kirk Cousins, representing the 1-3 Minnesota Vikings. Among the players ranked ahead of Mahomes, one significant surprise is the rookie C.J. Stroud, who has accumulated over 200 yards more than the Chiefs’ star quarterback.

Age is no barrier to showcasing talent, as a second-year quarterback is on the verge of joining an exclusive group, led by none other than <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-roethlisberger" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ben Roethlisberger</a>, a living legend of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a>.



For many Steelers fans, Ben Roethlisberger is considered one of the greatest quarterbacks in the franchise’s history. However, Terry Bradshaw holds the title of the best, having secured four <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> victories for the AFC North squad.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230927#BUS#68726"></div>


Big Ben had an illustrious NFL career, delivering two Vince Lombardi trophies to the Steelers during his impressive 18-year tenure with the team. His exceptional rookie season served as a clear indication that he would become a legendary quarterback.



<h2>Brock Purdy is close from joining an exclusive group of quarterbacks led by Ben Roethlisberger</h2>



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> unquestionably pulled off one of the biggest coups in the 2022 NFL Draft when they chose Brock Purdy as the final pick of the entire event. He has demonstrated his reliability as a quarterback, shedding the label of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Brock-Purdy-2022-NFL-Mr.-Irrelevant-Age-height-college-and-net-worth-20221204-0047.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘Mr. Irrelevant’</a> in the process.



During his rookie year, Purdy had to take the offense of the 49ers due to the injuries of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/trey-lance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trey Lance</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jimmy-garoppolo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jimmy Garoppolo</a>. He won the five regular season games he started, which really surprised everybody.



Brock Purdy’s success isn’t just a stroke of luck. In the 2023 season, the former Iowa State player has secured victories in the first four games, extending his regular-season winning streak to 9-0. Now, he stands on the precipice of joining an exclusive group of elite quarterbacks.



In NFL history, just six quarterbacks have achieved 10 or more consecutive wins in their first or second season. Purdy has the opportunity to join this esteemed group if he can secure a victory against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5.



Here is the list of the six quarterbacks who have won more than 10 consecutive regular-season games in their first or second year in the NFL:

After three games, the 49ers are regarded as true contenders to win the upcoming <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a>. They have built a very strong team in recent years, with a surprising quarterback such as Brock Purdy leading the offense.

<h2>Report: 49ers might lose a crucial player of Brock Purdy’s offense</h2>



The 49ers are well on their way to securing a playoff berth this year as the NFC West champions. They boast an exceptionally talented roster, featuring an offense that could potentially be the best in the entire league.



Even though not everyone trusted Brock Purdy, he’s proving to be a reliable quarterback. Of course, the team has surrounded him with a lot of talented players, but one of them might not be available for him this week.



Deebo Samuel is dealing with an injury to his ribs and a knee issue, causing him to miss Wednesday’s practice. Coach Kyle Shanahan revealed the wideouts problems, and the team doesn’t know if he will be ready for their Week 4 game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a>.



Once again, injuries are giving the 49ers a really hard time. Receivers Jauan Jennings (shin) and Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) were liimited during practices, hurting Brock Purdy’s offense even more.

In recent times, the 49ers have stood out as one of the top teams in the league. They boast a formidable defense that’s known for its strength and a remarkable offense.

<h2>Injury alert: 49ers won’t have a star wide receiver to face the Giants</h2>



The 49ers have an extraordinary offense, ehich is an absolute threat for each one of their rivals. Fortunately, Brock Purdy has been surrounded by a lot of talented players, but he won’t have a star wideout available for their Week 3 game against the Giants.



Before their game against New York, the 49ers announced that Brandon Aiyuk will be inactive for the match. The wide receiver has been dealing with a shoulder injury, and the team decided not to take any risks in the Thursday Night Football matchup.



Despite Aiyuk’s absence, the 49ers are still favorites to win against the Giants (-10.5). Deebo Samuel, who has not had a great start of the 2023 season, will now be the primary receiver for Purdy.

Last year, the 49ers utilized four different quarterbacks. Towards the end of the regular season, they entrusted the offense to Brock Purdy, who was chosen as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Brock-Purdy-2022-NFL-Mr.-Irrelevant-Age-height-college-and-net-worth-20221204-0047.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mr. Irrelevant</a> with the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

In addition to the rivalry between these teams, another intriguing aspect of this game is the matchup between Matthew Stafford and Brock Purdy. Both are highly talented quarterbacks, but they entered the league in very different ways.

<h2>Brock Purdy talks about Trey Lance’s trade to the Cowboys</h2>



Last season, rookie Brock Purdy surprisingly emerged as the quarterback of the future for the San Francisco 49ers. After Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo got injured, head coach Kyle Shanahan found his man.


 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230415#CMS#0012"></div>


However, Purdy had to deal with an elbow injury in the NFC Championship Game and no one knew for sure if he was going to be ready for the 2023 season. It seemed the prefect chance for Trey Lance to get redemption.



Then, something happened during preseason. Lance couldnt perform well and, as a consequence, the former quarterback of North Dakota State fell to the No.3 spot in the depth chart behind Purdy and Sam Darnold.



This Friday, Trey Lance was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a fourth-round pick. That’s why, after the shocking news, Brock Purdy had a special message for his teammate.



“Yes. Obviously, I love Trey. Everything that he’s done for this organization and obviously for myself. Going in last year and then him just being by my side from the get-go sideline, meetings in the locker room, wherever we are at, man, he’s been a real one and helped me come into the league and welcome me with open arms and showed me the ropes to this whole thing.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230811#BUS#44635"></div>


Purdy believes Lance could be a great asset for the Dallas Cowboys. “I can’t tell you how grateful I am for him and to have him in my life. Obviously, in terms of the situation, I’m happy for him that he’s able to go into a good situation and we all feel like it’s a good fit. At the end of the day, I can’t say how thankful I am to have played and been a teammate with Trey.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> have finally revealed who will be their starting quarterback for the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season, and even who is going to be the backup.



Last year, the 49ers struggled to keep their quarterbacks healthy. With Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo injured, Brock Purdy, the 2022 Mr. Irrelevant, took the team at the end of the campaign, and he really surprised everybody with his performances.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230821#BUS#49968"></div>


Purdy has impressed everybody, but there’s a reason why San Francisco traded up to get Trey Lance in the 2021 NFL Draft. Now, the team has decided who will lead the offense this year.



<h2>49ers select starting quarterback between Trey Lance and Brock Purdy</h2>



As the 2023 NFL season approaches, the final weeks of the preseason are crucial for determining both the 53-man roster and the starting lineup for the year. The 49ers have now solved a problem regarding the second matter.



At the end of the 2022 campaign, Brock Purdy’s exceptional performance raised questions among the team’s staff. He led the club to the NFC Championship Game, surprising everyone with his talent.



The 49ers faced a significant dilemma: whether to move on from Trey Lance or give him one more chance while benching Brock Purdy. Now, they have announced their starting quarterback for the year.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230822#BUS#50431"></div>


According to NFL Media, Sam Darnold is listed as the team’s No. 2 quarterback behind Brock Purdy, which completely erases Trey Lance from the picture. With this roster move, it seems like the 49ers will seek a trade for their former 3rd overall selection to recover some picks they gave away to get him.

<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230820#BUS#49812"></div>


The two quarterbacks have returned, and they both have played in the preseason. As of today, there’s no clear starter for the 2023 season, and Kyle Shanahan must make a decision soon.

There’s not too much clarity nowadays in the Bay. The San Francisco 49ers must select their starting quarterback for th upcoming campaign, and the decision won’t be easy at all.



Even though most fans see Trey Lance as the clear starter, Brock Purdy’s performances have brought a lot of doubts. Kyle Shanahan sees the quality of the 2022 Mr. Irrelevant, and he really likes what the number 13 has brought to the team.



“I thought he did real good, all the plays that he had he made and I don’t think he had a bad one,” head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters about Purdy following the game against the Denver Broncos, per the team transcript.

These words may put more pressure on Trey Lance. The former first-round pick started last season, but Purdy’s performance in the second half of the campaign has intensified this competition.
