It has been a blast for the San Francisco 49ers as the team has never gone home with a loss. They’re continuously winning and are now one of the two teams who’ve never been defeated this season. Recently, on Monday Night Football, they crowned themselves again with a victory against the Arizona Cardinals.

The quarterback of the team, Brock Purdy, has been put on the cusp of an exclusive NFL achievement as his team started with a 4-0 and he has put up a performance that may soon surpass that of Tom Brady. However, many think that Purdy’s performance is not by virtue of him being a good player but due to how the team has been set up. To this, the head coach Kyle Shanahan had a few words to say.

It seems like the Niners have made a promise to themselves to make at least 30 points in every game this season. So far, the team has been able to achieve that through balanced attack. As all the players are at their best, the QB Purdy has been making strides within his games. His performance against the Cardinals was impeccable as he scored a 283-yards in that game.

Despite showing his stunning ability to play as a QB, skeptics have started to criticize the man saying that his success is just a byproduct. The skeptics say that it’s all because of the HC’s quarterback-friendly system. However, the coach himself disagrees with this opinion. On being asked about it, Shanahan said, “I mean that’s pretty ridiculous.”
