San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been sacked six times over the past two games, and his protection won't be improving anytime soon. Head

The San Francisco 49ers' struggles have put a microscope on quarterback Brock Purdy's play, leading to speculation of a potential replacement

Some members of the NFL community continue to suggest that the San Francisco 49ers could trade quarterback Brock Purdy this offseason and target veteran quarterbacks Kirk Cousins or Aaron Rodgers as a temporary option at the position.

Everything was so easy for Brock Purdy when he first became the 49ers starting quarterback. Suddenly, Purdy isn't playing with the confidence he had last season. He's going through a down season and trying to grow from it.

Defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos is in his first season with the San Francisco 49ers, having signed as a free agent with hopes of contributing to the team's Super Bowl aspirations.

Colin Cowherd doesn't think the San Francisco 49ers should be in any rush to pay Brock Purdy. Currently making a $985,000 base salary in his third year, Purdy is probably the NFL's most underpaid player.

Purdy is on the verge of signing a life-changing contract extension, and yet he also is the first 49ers QB in years to lose at least seven games in a season.
