49ers' Purdy Emerges as Shanahan's Preferred QB over Jimmy G

NBC Sports Bay Area analyst Donte Whitner believes that San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan already has more confidence and trust in quarterback Brock Purdy than he ever had in Jimmy Garoppolo. Purdy's decision-making, accuracy, arm strength, and ability to stay calm under pressure were on display in the 49ers' season-opening win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Purdy has won all six of his career regular-season starts and has thrown at least two touchdown passes in all seven regular-season games he has appeared in, matching a 49ers record. Whitner predicts Super Bowl success for the 49ers if Purdy continues to perform at a high level.
