QB Brock Purdy, SF (1 Viewer)

Akash A making sense:

I really think the #49ers might get boat raced in this matchup.

It almost makes sense to roll out Brock Purdy vs. Cardinals, rather than throw him out to the wolves against the Rams (and their #1 defense).

Could you imagine the discussion if Purdy makes the start and looks rusty against a really good defense?

Mac’s in rhythm, makes sense to find a slightly easier opponent to roll out Purdy when he’s still bothered by the toe and coming off 2 months not playing a game.

 
Steve Young on Brock:

"At some point, Brock, I would suspect, would say, 'Hey, enough. I'm playing,'" Young said during an interview on Bay Area radio station KNBR. "And those conversations, I've got to believe, have happened. If Brock could go out, I think Brock would force it."

Young believes that it's likely Purdy himself who doesn't feel ready to return, as he's still not at full strength. Fortunately, backup quarterback Mac Jones has played well in his absence, helping San Francisco to a 6-3 record.

"I feel like if Brock could somehow play, he would force the issue," Young added. "I would. I would force it publicly, I would force it privately, I would make it happen. And so, it must be—and I know Brock—I would suspect, he can't make it happen because he's not healthy enough."

 
Turf toe can be a serious injury. We saw it with Burrow, as he had full ligament tears (i.e., grade three turf toe) that required surgery. That put Burrow out for 3 months.

Grade 2 turf toe has a recovery of 4-6 weeks. After tomorrow’s game, Purdy will be at the end of that period. So, if he’s not playing in week 11, I think he had a setback that they’re not telling us about that reset his recovery. Or, he was misdiagnosed from the beginning and probably should’ve had surgery.
