Despite playing extremely well in relief of Jimmy Garoppolo as a rookie, there were plenty of reasons for skepticism as to whether Purdy was the real deal. For the most part, those questions have been answered -- and the one lingering doubt regarding how much credit belongs to the quarterback and how much is a mix of scheme and a deep pool of talent to throw to doesn't matter since the architect and playmakers are all back for 2024.
In his first full year as a starter, Purdy finished fifth in passing yardage (4,280) and third in TDs (31) despite sitting out the finale. Granted, he did have a few stinkers, most notably his Christmas night debacle against the Ravens, and he was shaky at times during the playoff run, but the 49ers should enter the new season with an even higher level of confidence in their field general.
While not the most physically gifted of quarterbacks, the 24-year-old does a good job of buying time in the pocket and is smart with the football. His lack of running ability limits his fantasy appeal to a degree, leaving him on the fringes of QB1 territory, though with a few rushing TDs and playing a full 17-game schedule he could crack the position's top 10.
