  • Brock Purdy's performance in a loss vs. the Rams has zapped the hype around possibly locking up a franchise quarterback.

The article from Heavy.com discusses NFL analyst Craig Carton's controversial opinion on the San Francisco 49ers' quarterback situation. Carton, on his show "The Carton Show," suggested that he would replace the current starting quarterback, Brock Purdy, with backup Sam Darnold. This opinion comes despite Purdy's impressive performance in the previous season, where he led the 49ers to the NFC Championship game. Carton's argument hinges on Darnold's potential and the fact that he has been in the NFL longer, implying that Darnold might have a higher ceiling. However, this view is not widely shared, as many fans and analysts believe in Purdy's capabilities, especially given his success as a rookie. The article also touches on the 49ers' history of quarterback injuries and the team's depth at the position, with Darnold being signed as a backup to mitigate such risks.
