John Lynch, Secretary General of San Francisco 49ers, rejected the idea that Mac Jones’s elegant play, which took the center, created all the discomfort in the team manager.
“Great quality about Brock Purdy is that he is one of the self -confidence of the people in a very humble way,” Lynch said on KNBR, about NBC Sports Bay Area. “It’s hard to explain it, but I think it’s one of the things that appealed to us.”
Jones sports unbeaten record as the starting team in Kyle Shanahan’s break and goes 3-0, including an impressive victory in the Los Angeles Rams. Jones has not been perfect, but he has put Pinpoint thrown under pressure and played Point-Guard-All Niners need in Shatnahan’s violation.
In this three start, Jones has thrown only one interception in six contact surfaces. At the beginning of this season, Purdy has thrown four int with four eg.
“I wholeheartedly believe Brock is nothing but happy for our team,” said Lynch. “He is working on his tail to try to get back.”
Purdy (toe) has not been involved in training this week, indicating that he will probably miss at least another game. Jones, who are also dealing with knee and diagonal injuries, was limited in two meetings. The former selected first round is in the series to start back on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the aggressive defense of Todd Bowles.
