It seems the Mr Irrelevant Brock Purdy is gaining relevance in the 2022 season following a splendid performance in his rookie year. His popularity has reached to an extent that the management is rooting for the youngster above veteran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for the playoffs and the remaining postseason games.

The Lowa product never failed to startle the Niners fan base with his explosive game plays, leading the team for a magical postseason start. Now there is no going back because the 23-year-old will continue to remain at the center despite having Garoppolo physically fit on the roster.

Ever since the 2022 season began, there have been a lot of uncertainties inside the Niners locker room. Especially the unstable quarterback room worried the fans. However, Kyle Shanahan managed to tackle this situation, rolling out Jimmy Garoppolo to control the situation.

And guess what? The two-time Super Bowl Champion managed to carve a strong foundation reigning at the top of the NFC West. However, his tryst with injuries continued to linger as Garoppolo broke his foot and had to remain on the sidelines.

Subsequently, the third-string prospect Brock Purdy got activated in Week 14, helping the side wrap up the regular season with a streak of 10 wins. His 5-0 start aided the Niners to unlock the long-time record of having consecutive five-game winning streaks by different quarterbacks since 1972.

With this performance, the management decided to go with Purdy in their NFC Wild card game against the Seahawks. As one could expect, the quarterback took the win home by a great margin (41-23). As a result, in the upcoming postseason matchups, Purdy will start for the side. Although Garoppolo is cleared for action, he will stay as the backup option.

“49ers, they’re holding out hope that he could actually return to the NFC Championship game, maybe the Super Bowl if they make it that far. However, I want to put 49ers fans at ease right now. If he returns, it has to be a backup, to back up Brock Purdy. Not to be the starter again. This is Brock Purdy’s team moving forward,” Jay Glazer of FOX Sports said in his report.
