It was awkward, but the 49ers' 'C' game is survivable, and their best might be better than what just about anybody else has got.
The first half felt a little bit like Wilks running the old stuff, but not as well as DeMeco Ryans or Robert Saleh used to. The second half, though, felt like Wilks getting a measure of the way he can add to this scheme when the 49ers really need it.Purdy had three plays with receivers open deep and he overthrew each of them
. They weren’t all his first read, and not all of them were layups. But they were deep shots that could’ve turned this game into a blowout. They were the kinds of long throws that Purdy mainly hit last season. And they’re the kinds of passes that, in recent years,But even through all that, if this game was evidence of Purdy’s lowest level — and there’s a chance it is — the 49ers can win a lot of games like this. They can winlike this.
That’s the lowest passer rating of any regular-season game that he’s started. But it’s also a pretty decent rating, really. It’s the stat line of a QB who moved his team, was pretty efficient and didn’t turn it over. Also, Purdy added a TD on a QB sneak, which is another thing Purdy seems quite comfortable doing.
Purdy has now played the majority of snaps in 10 NFL games and hasn’t had a passer rating lower than the 87.4 he put up in the playoff victory over Dallas. And in these 10 games, he has never had more interceptions than TD passes. Oh, also might as well get the analytics community mad at me one more time: The 49ers are 10-0 when Purdy plays a majority of the snaps. That does mean something.
