On Thursday night, the 49ers officially made it to the playoffs after beating the Seattle Seahawks. In this game, rookie quarterback Brock Purdy showed another incredible display, which helped the Niners to reach the playoffs two years in a row. Last Sunday, Purdy had another incredible game against Tom Brady and the Bucs, as the Niners destroyed the Tampa Bay side. After the game against the Seahawks, fans lauded the young QB and compared him with the 7-time Super Bowl champion, TB12.

It is worth noting that Purdy got his opportunity to play for the Niners after their starting quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, suffered a foot injury in the game against the Dolphins. Since then, he has been exceptional for the Niners, as the fans are dreaming about winning the Super Bowl already.

Earlier, many called him Mr. irrelevant because he was the last-picked player in the 2022 NFL draft. Now, he has become quite relevant in the eyes of many fans, as they are dreaming of winning the Super Bowl with him.

Another fan is looking forward to seeing the NFC conference final between the Niners and the Eagles.

On the other hand, some fans of other teams are looking to trade this young rookie already.

Purdy has been playing incredibly in the last three games. In the last three games, he recorded 6 passing touchdowns and 1 rushing touchdown. He also threw 612 yards and made only 1 interception. Safe to say, he lifted the Niners with his performance after Garoppolo‘s injury and it will be interesting to see if he can maintain this form through the playoffs.
