The only question for the 49ers was if Purdy was legit and that seems to have been answered. I think they're the class of the League.
Purdy is very poised for a young QB. I don't expect him to be a top 5 QB but if he doesn't turn the ball over and uses his playmakers, coupled with a top 3 D in the league the 49ers should cruise to a bye.
Of course it is the 49ers and they can't keep a QB healthy so he probably gets hurt next week and then we living on pins and needles with Darnold.

If he's just a competent QB, and they don't have horrible injury luck, that's quite a team.

Kittle and Bosa didn't even factor in. Kittle was questionable due to hamstring issue and Bosa only practiced twice with the team due to hold out. Bosa and Hargrave saw a lot of double teams but the other guys stepped up.
My only concern is the OLine. They had a hell of a time with Watt. When they play the Cowboys or Eagles and have 3 or 4 guys that can get after the QB they are really going to have to move the pocket and get the ball out quick to guys like CMC, Debo and Kittle.
