#2 Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback great Joe Montana predicts that Purdy will bounce back in the 2025 season. Montana said that Purdy doesn’t make many mistakes and is careful with the football.

#3 49ers open up against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at 1:00pm PT. The Seahawks will be starting at quarterback former 49er Sam Darnold. Darnold has signed a three year $100.5 million deal. Being a former 49er is there any advantage for Darnold knowing the 49ers playbook their strategy and will he have any advantage against the defense going into this game? Also in reverse will it work for 49ers knowing what Darnold could do?

The 49ers lost to the Kansas Chiefs. “I would say I was frustrated about losing the Super Bowl, and it was like, ‘All right, we got to get back,’ ” Purdy told SI “That’s all I saw, was getting back. And because some of those guys are out, I have to go make plays to get us back.

Jones’ performance is accurate and completed 77% of his passes in five practices.

#2 Wide receiver Rickey Pearsall was at practice for the second straight day. Pearsall at 11 on 11 drills caught two passes. Pearsall didn’t practice in the second half or in 1 on 1 drills. The 49ers are using Pearsall cautiously after his coming off a hamstring injury.

#3 Wide receiver Jauan Jennings who is suffering from a calf injury from the off season didn’t show up to practice on Sunday. Jennings was wondering if that was calf injury or an Achillies injury. Christian McCaffrey had a calf strain and it turned out to be Achillies tendonitis. The 49ers are being cautious about Jennings if it’s a calf or Achillies.

San Francisco 49ers podcast David Zizmor:

#1 David, some critics have said that 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy have said that Purdy is not worth of the $265 million five year deal he signed. That Purdy did not perform at a NFL top level. What is your take on such criticism.

#2 Purdy’s deal puts him in a tie for seventh highest paid player in the NFL and ties him with quarterback Jered Goff. Goff has a salary of $53 million per year. In 2023 Purdy set a single season record for passing yards at 4280 and threw for 31 touchdowns. Purdy’s numbers fell in 2024 passing at 3864, 20 touchdowns, and the 49ers finished 6-11.

#3 Critics continued to say that Purdy failed to elevate the 49ers and didn’t rise to the occasion in facing adversity and didn’t have the traits to live up to the leagues tip quarterbacks with some of the top contracts in the NFL.
