Final week, I anticipated that Javon Hargrave would be the saint in an inescapable 49ers triumph over the Vikings. Instep, the 49ers misplaced, and Hargrave had no sacks. Oh no.
This week, I promise to do way better. So i’m picking quarterback Brock Purdy as the 49ers’ potential saint. That doesn’t cruel the 49ers will win — I’m not beyond any doubt they will. But on the off chance that they do, Purdy will have to be play greatly well, much way better than he has the past two weeks.
Keep in mind, Purdy was on fire through the primary five diversions. In that span, his completion rate was 67.9, his TD-INT proportion was 9-0 and his passer rating was 123.1 — he appeared like a genuine MVP candidate even though the season was youthful.
Since at that point, Purdy’s generation has failed. Within the past two recreations — both misfortunes — Purdy’s completion rate was 57.9, his TD-INT proportion was 2-3 and his passer rating was 69.1. He was a risk. And presently he’s coming off a concussion. He didn’t have a full practice this week that wasn’t a walkthrough, so how effective will be in case he plays? Be beyond any doubt , he hasn’t passed the ultimate organize of the concussion convention however, in spite of the fact that the 49ers anticipate him to clear it nowadays.
Quarterbacks do not continuously play their best right absent after a concussion. Purdy endured his on Monday, meaning not indeed a full week prior. And he wasn’t playing so well some time recently the concussion.
This week, he must confront a Bengals defense that has permitted a passer rating of fair 79.7 this season. So Purdy most likely will choose the result of the diversion. In case he steps up against a great pass defense, the 49ers likely will win. But in the event that he proceeds to battle as he has the past two weeks, the 49ers likely will lose.
And in case Purdy loses a third amusement in a push, he certainly might lose his work amid the bye week. That would be the idealize time to get ready Sam Darnold to begin.
Huge week for Purdy.
