The San Francisco 49ers will go into Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints with Mac Jones as their quarterback as Brock Purdy deals with a turf toe injury. This could feed a narrative that Purdy haters would love to pour gasoline on.
A recent discussion on KNBR focused on the very topic of the national narrative that Purdy is just a system quarterback who does not deserve the hefty contract extension he earned. We have heard this narrative for years and it could potentially be promulgated more if Jones plays well while Purdy is out.
