The case of Christian McCaffrey

Christian McCaffrey outlook

By: Jake Rajala

Christian McCaffrey recorded 202 rushing yards in four games in 2024. Everybody was worried he would hit a decline like the one Todd Gurley hit in the back-end of his career. Thankfully, he bounced back and was named first team AP last season. I’m not ready to say he’s not human like 49ers legend Frank Gore, who played 10 seasons in a 49ers uniform.

Let it be known that 49ers people that have played or coached at Stanford don’t have the best of luck in Super Bowls. Former Stanford HC Jim Harbaugh lost to his brother in the Super Bowl. Then CMAC failed to beat the Chiefs in the big dance.

The 49ers drafted a RB 33rd overall by the name of De’Zhaun Stribling. CMAC will still be out to prove he still has gas left in the tank. Hopefully, CMAC doesn’t turn into the way that the veteran Adrian Peterson felt when Alvin Kamara was a rookie on the Saints.

CMAC has a lot of help, to put it simply. He has left tackle Trent Williams, who can decapitate people. He also has one of the best offensive minded head coaches in Kyle Shanahan. It’s the opposite of Alcatraz for CMAC in San Francisco.

The future of the 49ers is Brock Purdy. He happens to be 26 years old, which is the same age as Brock Purdy. He may have skipped the trip to Disneyland, but that doesn’t mean he won’t end up going to “Disney World”. He went 7-2 last season and proved to be a Top-10 QB.

The tale of Brock Purdy

Brock Purdy reflection

By: Jake Rajala

Brock Purdy has been seen as the second coming of Tom Brady. Brady was taken in the sixth round, while Purdy was a seventh round pick. 49er Faithful was thankful that he came out strong and proved to be more efficient than Jimmy G. Sure, Jimmy G has a nice jawline. Nonetheless, he has only thrown over 20 touchdowns in a single season once in his career.

Purdy has been a man on a mission. He went 5-0 in his rookie season. Not bad for a “project” quarterback. He unleashed 31 passing touchdowns to 11 interceptions in his sophomore season. Furthermore, he went 12-4 in the same season. Sadly, he hasn’t won a Super Bowl ring yet. It’s not a complete surprise given his head coach, Kyle Shanahan, coughed up a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl when he was with the Atlanta Falcons.

Purdy has a lot of help from Christian McCaffrey, who won Offensive Player of the Year in 2023. It may be a surprise that he’s an elite running back in the league. He also had Deebo Samuel in his arsenal, who was an All-Pro. Sadly, they moved him to Washington.

When Mr. Irrelevant was injured, he was replaced by Mac Jones. Jones went 5-3 with the 49ers. I wouldn’t say there’s a QB controversy. After all, they are paying Purdy five years for $265 million dollars. I expect Jones to be traded to a team like Miami or Cleveland.
