49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

Their 3 playoff games were against the teams that were 10th, 4th, and 1st in sacks during the season. Of course they would struggle relative to the season as a whole.
The Eagles were smart and moved their best pass rushers to the opposite side of Trent Williams.
The Eagles had the second most sacks of any team in NFL history. That incredible stat was overlooked by many.
Knowing how despicable the media is, the speculation will probably go to anyone but Purdy.
The play Purdy got hurt on was not a sack. I can’t remember if Johnson was injured on a sack or not.
It was ruled a fumble so it should’ve gone down as a strip sack.
God damn they have advanced stats on everything these days.
It was ruled a fumble, but if you look at the replay, Purdy’s arm was going forward. Should’ve been an incomplete pass.

But the ball went forward so that makes it hairy. Did the returner lose yards on the recovery or did Brock gain yards on the play, if so, it’s not a sack.
A hit behind the line of scrimmage where the QB fumbles counts as a sack (I guess except if someone passes the QB the ball or a bunch of laterals are involved).
I know no one rides the refs nuts like you do @isuno1fan , but watch the above video and tell me Purdy’s arm wasn’t going forward.
Once reporters finished questioning — and, in some cases, consoling — 49ers Brock Purdy, wide receiver Deebo Samuel stopped by to gift Purdy a jersey that was autographed with a custom message, that read in part: 'I’m so proud of you, proud of how you handled business. Stay up. Keep getting better. Future is bright.'” -- Cam Inman
Nice from Deebo! I would say he has support in locker room!

His arm IS going forward. However, the ball was out of his hand before that motion. Not a pass. More of a fumble batted forward. I do wonder, though, if a niner caught the ball, would it be counted as a completion or a fumble recovery?

He clearly lost possession before his arm propelled it forward. There were multiple questionable calls in the games this weekend. Brock's fumble wasn't one of them.
Decent Video on "Tommy John" Surgery which I think Brock is looking at listed below as Security Violation link:
www.hopkinsmedicine.org
Tommy John Surgery (Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction)
UCL reconstruction is a surgery commonly used to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament inside the elbow by replacing it with a tendon from elsewhere in the body.
To be fair, this is just one orthopedic surgeons opinion who has not examined Brock. Sure, this could be the case, but the source is just a surgeon that Dan Patrick had on his show. Until Schefty or Rap tweet it, it's all speculation
Agreed. I saw this posted on Facebook but saw nothing on ESPN.com so very clearly not confirmed.
