Kurtenbach: The 49ers and Brock Purdy are learning about life in the NFL

Brock Purdy has been the Niners’ quarterback for a year. Now he and Kyle Shanahan have to face some real adversity.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is sacked by Minnesota Vikings linebacker Danielle Hunter during the second half of an NFL football game, Monday, Oct. 23, 2023, in Minneapolis. And the 49ers — namely head coach Kyle Shanahan and quarterback Brock Purdy — need to get used to living this way now, too.

The pixie dust has disappeared. This team is dealing with some actual, honest-to-goodness adversity following a second straight loss on Monday — this one to a 3-4 Vikings team in Minneapolis, capped by two Purdy interceptions in the final six minutes. Typical quarterbacks are not getting five All-Pro-caliber players around them like Purdy. No, they’re lucky to get two. A great quarterback can, perhaps, make one more.

Clearly, the Niners aren’t invincible because football is still a cruel, violent game and injuries are more than just a part of it.The two roles are where good teams are most stable. Both need to elevate their games. For Purdy, that means not turning the ball over like he did in Cleveland and Minnesota.
