As Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers locked horns for an NFC West Showdown in Week 4, Super Bowl hopes are high for 49ers fans as the game ended with a dramatic 36-15 score. Despite starting off with two Arizona penalties, the 49ers squad slid into a one-yard, impressive touchdown from Christian McCaffrey.

Well, the offense was on fire with 7.6 yards per play, a statistic that should certainly make Coach Kyle Shanahan proud. And then, it was none other than the 23-year-old QB Brock Purdy, who ensured that the 49ers enjoyed a series of explosive plays.

While McCaffrey may have found the end zone on the second play of the 4th quarter, Purdy is that promising guy, who certainly serves as the driving force for the team towards winning their long-awaited, sixth Super Bowl win since 1995. What’s your take on Purdy?
