Brock Purdy is thriving for 49ers right now (but doubters still have ammunition)

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has enjoyed a strong start to the 2026 season. Purdy delivered a solid performance against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1 and followed it up with a near-perfect outing against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2.

Despite the successful opening weeks, skeptics argue that Purdy's opponents provided favorable circumstances. The Rams traveled late to Australia for their opener, while the Dolphins struggle, and an upcoming Week 3 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals offers another test.
