The San Francisco 49ers are fresh off a disappointing trip to the Super Bowl, but they will have most of their core players return.
They’re expected to be the team to beat in the NFC again in 2024.
And, with a contract extension looming large and a big chip on his shoulder, Brock Purdy will have yet another opportunity to silence the few doubters he still has.
With that in mind, NFL analyst Craig Carton claimed that he doesn’t know what else he has to do to silence the critics.
Talking on The Carton Show, he stated that only Seattle Seahawks fans had valid reasons not to like Purdy, as all he does is win.
“All this kid does is win.”

He believes what Purdy is doing is unprecedented, as he had no expectation to be a successful quarterback in the league, and he’s played like one of the best in the game.
Of course, Purdy is tailor-made for Kyle Shanahan’s system, but people want to make that seem like a bad thing.
More than that, they hold against him the fact that he has an elite supporting cast, all while they claim that other great quarterbacks don’t have enough talent around them, so it’s always been a bit of a double-standard.
If anything, with the way he’s beaten the odds, everybody should be rooting for him as the ultimate underdog.
Then again, that’s just the way things go in sports, and he’ll have to make a statement in 2024 to put an end to this unfair conversation.
