It's normal for the losing SB team to take a step back. Their window is closing and they know it.
Purdy is a solid QB a good OC can build around. Is he elite? No not in my opinion. But he's certainly good enough to win with. The problem with the Niners is not the roster. The problem with the Niners is coaching. Some coaches consistently win in the regular season. Then they tend to succumb to the pressure of the playoffs and change how they coach a game. You can see it in their playoff record.
McVay was outcoached in 2018 which wasn't surprising. But he learned from that game and in 2021 he understood what he needed to do i.e. Sean learned from the experience. McVay won a game he should have lost by outcoaching the Bengals. Shanahan has shown the exact opposite. IMO the opposition would have to lose the game for the Niners to win a SB.
I expect the Niners to take a step back this year which will result in them having to rebuild in 2025.
WOW - I don’t see that in the fact they are going to step back this season. I will say like way back & certain teams make mistakes & The Salary Cap comes into play.
As bad as the Tre Lance pick was bad,The Purdy draft pick was good.
He is a difference maker.
Les Snead always talks about winning the Super Bowl in April.
Les Snead lost bad in 2020 & almost did it again in 2021.
I can go deeper into it,But The Rams 2023 Draft actually almost won them a Super Bowl of all things.How good will the 2024 draft be ?
I HATE Staley & Ratboy,I’m just saying be careful.You should by your(Plane) tickets to LA the 3rd game of 2024 so it’s not all Red at SOFI
