When CMC got traded to the Niners last year, Jimmy Garoppolo was the starting QB. Brock Purdy was the one with CMC trying to teach him the playbook. So when Jimmy got hurt and Brock Purdy started last season, him and CMC already had that connection. And now with a full offseason for both of them as starters in Kyle Shanahan’s offense, this season should be a treat.. hope they can stay healthy thats all i ask for 😭

That block by Aiyuk was my favorite play of the game! Leveled that dude! He will cement himself as a top 5 WR this year.

He's trying to get paid once his contract is up. I got a feeling that he will be traded, since the team gave Deebo the bag last season

[@epiphany8429]

@@dantegreen4094 I'm ngl I'd rather keep Aiyuk over Deebo. Aiyuk is hella consistent and is a regular piece of the machine, Deebo isn't consistent enough - not to mention he doesn't click with Purdy quite like Aiyuk does.

[@MordechaiKarp]

There's something so magical about watching the niners offense. My favorite is watching their receivers block for each other. Feels like their offense functions as one living organism.

[@chadhenderson2922]

What a great game for Aiyuk! What’s great about this year’s Niners is that if other teams study today and double up on Aiyuk, they can shift more catches over to Debo, Kittle, or McCaffrey. They look like such a tough team to cover!

I don’t think Pittsburgh is bad, I think that SF is that good. We got smoked by them in every aspect of the game. Our defense spent half the day looking at the sky, Kenny was super inconsistent and Najee didn’t show up at all, play calling was in desperation mode the entire time. SF is good this year. If they stay healthy they are contenders.

[@pyrovania]

That was what was so freakish about Purdy last year. He was the last pick in the draft and played like a seasoned vet the minute he had to fill in for Jimmy. Most rookie QBs are terrible, even first round picks. Even Joe Montana wasn't great his first year.

[@rhmayer1]

@@pyrovania It was really apparent before he had to fill in for Jimmy - in the pre-season games. His poise and calmness and accuracy looked veteran in the pre-season games and was why they cut Nate Sudfeld, who had been a good QB2 for years before Trey Lance and Brock Purdy came on board. That cutting of Nate, who knew the playbook well, was risky and significant and seemed to go under the radar and under-reported at the time. But that demonstrated that the coaches saw what we all saw in those impressive early pre-season games. And then Purdy studied and practiced his as* off for the next few months, and came on the field READY when Jimmy went down. Awesome story.
