Goodness gracious.  Let’s at least see a full season before putting Purdy in the HOF.  I like him.  Runs offense beautifully, is accurate and can make plays when things break down.  But I’d like to see a full body of work over a season before crowning him. He needs to stay healthy, for one thing.

---

Actually they won  a lot with JG.  Also think Darnold would be excellent in this offense.  But also hoping we don’t find out.

But the general point is - players around QB matter.  Look at Chief-Lions. Mahomes without Kelce.  No marquis wide out or RB.  His receiving corp dropped about 6 passes, including one for a pick six.  Looks like he had a pedestrian game.  Can’t do it yourself.

That commentators focus on the level on Niners skill position talent is understandable.  Because it’s elite.  Let’s hope they stay relatively healthy.

Big concern is right side of line.  Especially McKivitz.  Who is perhaps going to make us pine for McGlinchey…..

Regarding Jimmy, yes they won, but interestingly last season, the offense averaged 22 a game with Jimmy, 33 a game with Brock (iirc from the article). Darnold didn't beat Brock out, and didn't looked all that special in pre.

The O-line does have some concerns, and they aren't deep. McKivitz was on skates last Sunday.
