Purdy won the starting job for 2023 with Lance and Garoppolo gone, and that paid dividends for the 49ers as Purdy became a serious MVP contender. He completed 69.4% of his passes for 4,280 yards and 31 touchdowns versus 11 interceptions, and Purdy led the 49ers to the Super Bowl.

They're hoping to bounce back this time around, and the 49ers would probably prefer Purdy stay on the field rather than behind bars. Outside of that hypothetical scenario, San Francisco won't be winning a Super Bowl without its recently extended, nine-figure franchise QB.
