The result of the NFC Championship was infuriating for several reasons. But none were bigger than seeing a 49ers offense that was on a tear during the previous month and a half look inept for the majority of the game.
Brock Purdy making the 49ers not just competitive, but a contender, served as one of the most pleasant surprises of the season. But once Purdy admitted he couldn’t throw the ball beyond ten yards, San Francisco had to turn to Josh Johnson.
There are no expectations for a fourth-string quarterback. That statement gets magnified in the NFC Championship.
