Brock Purdy's supporting cast graded fifth in NFL despite debate on his value
Summary

A recent analysis by Pro Football Focus highlights that the San Francisco 49ers' supporting cast, led by Brock Purdy, received an overall offensive grade of 80.6 in 2025. This places the 49ers fifth among NFL teams, signaling sustained talent despite a changing roster. While the supporting personnel, including players like Christian McCaffrey, Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, and George Kittle, demonstrate proficiency, some analysts argue Purdy may be shouldering more responsibility than traditional perception suggests. The findings contribute to the ongoing discussion regarding the role of supporting casts in quarterback success and postseason performance in the NFL.
