Last year, Brock Purdy had a really good year, with 4280 yards in 5th place, even though that was his first full year starting. Many people say that the only reason he had that many yards was that his team was healthy and in the top 20 for their position. But this year, everything has gone wrong.
Deebo Samuel has recently been angry with the lack of production and got hurt in weeks 3, 4, and 8. Brandon Aiyuk got hurt in week 7 and has not played since missing the rest of the season. George Kittle got sidelined in week 3, got hurt in week 10, and has been on and off with questionable status. Brock Purdy has also had his share of injuries, in week 11 he hurt his right shoulder missing one game, but in week 17 he hurt his elbow in the 4th quarter with a minute left and is expected to miss week 18. Christian McCaffrey got hurt in week 13 and was questionable from the first week until the 9th week due to an Achilles/calf injury. He is expected to come back in the playoffs which the 49ers aren’t going to make. They have been hunting for that Superbowl for so long but if the team can’t get in order they will lose that chance in the coming years.
In February of 2020, the 49ers played the Chiefs in the Super Bowl and lost 31-20. Then in February of 2024, the 49ers played the Chiefs again and lost 25-22. They have played in a total of 8 Super Bowls but only have won 4. After getting absolutely demolished in week 18 against the Cardinals the 49ers really need something to go into the off-season and come out better and more prepared for the next season. In the 2nd quarter, Jauan Jennings got ejected costing him his first 1000-yard season and possibly the game. In the first 2 quarters, the 49ers scored 17 points but after that, they could only score another 7 while the Cardinals put up 20 in the first 2 and 27 in the last 2. Although Deebo Samuel did play he only got 3 targets and only 1 reception. After Brock Purdy got injured in week 17 Josh Dobbs had to step in and play, he went 29/43 with 326 yards. George Kittle did not have the best game, only getting 3 targets and 2 receptions. Over the off-season, Brandon Aiuyk and CMC have to get healthy so they don’t get hurt again. Deebo has to come back strong and with a better mindset and Kittle just has to be Kittle.
