Kyle Shanahan needs to start treating Brock Purdy more like Jimmy Garoppolo

The San Francisco 49ers came away with a win on Monday night despite a rough performance against the Carolina Panthers.

Quarterback Brock Purdy threw three first-half interceptions, which may force head coach Kyle Shanahan to treat him a bit differently.

When Purdy is fully healthy and has his weapons around him, we have seen him run Shanahan's offense better than any other quarterback the coach has had in San Francisco. However, we know Purdy is not 100-percent healthy as he is dealing with his toe issue.

Both Purdy and Shanahan pushed back on the notion the signal-caller's picks had anything to do with the toe, which seems to check out because we have seen Purdy make poor throws like that in the past even when he is healthy.
