The 26-year-old impressively did it in only 57 games, the fastest in 49ers history. Coach Kyle Shanahan reflected on Purdy's accomplishments after the team's win over the Raiders and did not shy away from giving him his flowers. "It's been amazing. Just since the first game he got in there," Shanahan told reporters. "That's why I always struggle at the beginning of the year when everyone's asking me, can I believe how good he's playing and how much better he's improved? Because he was so good off the bench versus Miami his first game and then the second week and taking us to the NFC Championship as a rookie. "I think his second year took us to the Super Bowl maybe. Brock's been the man since he's come in and that's a pretty unbelievable deal considering where he was drafted, how he started. Very fortunate to have Brock." Purdy has played at a high level all season and San Francisco's offense is rolling, placing him at the center of MVP conversations .

"Sort of in the moment though, with just how the game was going, it's like we're competing and we’ve got to have the next play mentality. I didn't even know that was a thing. And it was just like we’ve got to be ready for this next drive. If they go down and score, we’ve got to answer. So that's sort of where my mindset was at. "But in the locker room, once I found out, I was like, ‘Oh, that's pretty cool.’ So, something that I don't want to overlook either. As a kid, if you were to tell me I'd be in the NFL and I get to throw 100 touchdowns, that's really cool. I'm extremely thankful for that. But yeah, got to watch the film and get better for this next game." San Francisco improved to 7-1 and shifts its focus towards its next game against the Dallas Cowboys. A win would give the 49ers another momentum boost ahead of a Nov. 22 Sunday Night Football contest against the NFL's best defensive team, the Minnesota Vikings, in Mexico City.
