Last season, the San Francisco 49ers had a forgettable campaign and may have been the most disappointing team of 2024. This came after a year when the team made it to the Super Bowl and was close to beating Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in a game that went into overtime.
Expectations for the 49ers were high in 2024, but not only did they miss the playoffs, but Kyle Shanahan's team also finished last in the NFC West division, which led to some franchise moves, one of which was the trade of their star receiver, Deebo Samuel, to the Washington Commanders.
Now, the team's full attention is on their quarterback, Brock Purdy, who had a fantastic 2023 season with 31 touchdown es and 11 interceptions. He was also very close to winning the Super Bowl, but had a significant setback the following year. Still, he is seeking a multi-million dollar contract.
Brock Purdy revealed a serious issue that could make the franchise think twice about offering him a new contract
The 49ers' quarterback made a shocking statement, revealing that 40% of the time he can't see his target (receiver) due to the size of the offensive line, which, according to him, is typical for shorter quarterbacks.
"But we got talking about how really it's 60/40. You can see about 60% of the time and the other 40% you really can't...I'm already short in stature, yes, but he goes that's why it's so important when it comes down to knowing coverages, knowing scheme-where our players are supposed to be, how many steps they're breaking and where the ball should be over a certain backer, like all those things, man. It matters and that's why like guys, you know, if you go to a combine and all those things, you're just throwing on air and yeah, you look all good with a strong arm and fast jumping all that stuff," Purdy said
However, Purdy, who is 6 feet 1 inch tall, explained that it is very important to understand defensive coverages so that, despite his height, he knows where his receivers should be on every play.
It is expected that Purdy and his agents are negotiating with the 49ers' general management for a contract between $50 and $55 million, with the goal of reaching an agreement before the start of the 2025 season.
