Kawakami: Brock Purdy is the 49ers’ QB constant — and constantly surprising

New York Times  

No, Brock Purdy wasn’t dead set on heaving the most stubborn and ill-advised pass of his 49ers career — one that still had Kyle Shanahan shaking his head hours later — as he drifted near the left sideline and saw Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle running with defenders to his right. “I sort of nodded right and literally went right,” Purdy said after the 49ers’ powerhouse 34-3 victory in Jacksonville. I wanted you guys to keep running.’ Yeah, my bad, Brock, me and Brandon both fell for it, too.” There was more evidence of the Purdy plentitudes on the second play of the second half, with the 49ers only up 13-3 and Shanahan dying to dial up a big gainer. It was very, very important for Purdy to get past the five combined interceptions he threw during the 49ers’ recent three-game losing streak after throwing none during the 49ers’ 5-0 start this season.
