Shanahan's Gamble: Brock Purdy's Rise
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
San Francisco Forty-Niners coach Kyle Shanahan recently shared insights into the teams quarterback situation during the 2022 season. After injuries sidelined Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, the team considered veteran Philip Rivers. However, rookie Brock Purdy, the last pick in the draft, proved himself and led the team to the NFC Championship Game. Shanahan kept Rivers as a contingency plan, and if Purdy had been injured, Rivers might have joined the team. Shanahan still praises Rivers, believing elite pocket passers can maintain arm strength and perform at a high level.
