Very informative
ReplyDeleteThe 49ers are my favorite team. Great post! The 49ers can win it all with Brock Purdy. He was the last pick in the draft Mr. Irrelevant now he's leading the 49ers in the playoffs!
ReplyDeleteFans are already speculating Tom Brady will come home to San Francisco next season, but I hope the 49ers stick with Brock Purdy. He's only a rookie. He's only going to get better.
ReplyDeleteThe 49ers will beat the Bengals. History repeats.
