Brock Purdy’s performance for the 49ers keeps silencing the skeptics

Associated Press  

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The notion that Brock Purdy is simply a creation of coach Kyle Shanahan’s schemes and the best set of playmakers in the NFL gets put to rest the way he plays each week. His teammates think it’s time he gets a bigger share of the credit instead of it all going to Shanahan, Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and Co. “I think a lot of people are slow to give him his props just because of his draft status and where he was drafted,” left tackle Trent Williams said. He picked apart Seattle on Sunday with his seventh straight game completing at least 70% of his passes — one shy of Joe Montana’s NFL record. So, I have taken deep shots this year.” WHAT’S WORKING Samuel had seven catches for 149 yards and a TD and also ran for a 1-yard score, giving him five TDs and 288 yards from scrimmage the past two weeks. I believe it was a good lesson learned and I think he’ll be much better about that in the future.” INJURIES DT Javon Hargrave and CB Charvarius Ward left the game with injuries but have a chance to return this week.. LB Oren Burks will likely miss a couple of weeks.. LB Dre Greenlaw is day to day.
