Kansas City has one of the better defenses in the NFL, and the true deficiencies of Purdy showed once again, just as they did in the Super Bowl. Outside of the New York Jets, who Purdy faced in Week One, each of the defenses he has faced rank inside the bottom 15. When facing top defenses like the Chiefs, Purdy has issues pop up that hold him back from being a franchise quarterback.FOR MORE NFL CONTENT, CHECK OUT THE FOLLOWING LINKS:–The San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl Window Has Closed–The San Francisco 49ers Will Trade Brock Purdy to the Dallas Cowboys–The Seattle Seahawks WILL WIN the NFC West, not the 49ersPurdy threw three interceptions against the Chiefs, was held to 212 yards with no touchdowns, and completed just 17-of-31 passes. He is not a game-changing quarterback, and struggles to read the field against better defenses. The 49ers offensive line has played better than it looks this season, as they’re giving Purdy time, but he is taking too long in the pocket trying to let plays develop and get a better read of the field that it’s adding extra pressure for the line to hold on. The inconsistent play from Purdy, paired with his dependence on the playmakers around him to uplift his play, will hold him back from ever being a franchise quarterback. He has been able to provide stable production for San Francisco, but his weaknesses that top-level defenses now have on film, will hold Purdy back from ever leading the 49ers to a championship.</div></body>

Brock Purdy Will Never Be the Franchise Quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers are 3-4, and while they aren’t out of the race for the NFC West, and could very well still win it, one thing has become very clear this season. Brock Purdy will never be the franchise quarterback for the 49ers. Purdy is eligible for a contract extension with one year left on his rookie contract after this season. It’s something the 49ers have to keep in mind, but if they extend him, it will set their franchise back.
