Hard to believe anyone remains skeptical about Brock Purdy because he is a rookie. Since he replaced Jimmy Garoppolo, Brock Purdy is the highest rated passer in the NFL.

There is a reason no rookie QB has ever started a Super Bowl game.  Playoffs are a different animal.  The pressure of a one and done can be overwhelming.

Purdy may be the first but he has a long road ahead of him….

I believe it’s also Gino Smith’s first playoff start.

Niners are a much better team, top to bottom. Seattle has had a poor run defense.  But Carroll is a good defensive coach.  With weather perhaps being a major factor, i suspect he will load the box, pull the safeties up and dare them to throw it.  On the other side, field conditions may slow pass rush. I expect Seattle to try and take a lot of deep shots.  

 I think the expected weather favors Seattle significantly.
