I really believe this team is being underrated because of the whole Brock Purdy angle.. and mostly the only reason everyone has as to why San Francisco won’t be in the Super Bowl since the regular season.. in reality no one will give any credit to Brock Purdy even if he were to win it all because of the “he has weapons” argument.. which can literally be made for all teams at this level.. aside from that when they move to the next round the next reason will be Shanahan will implode with his play calling.. well his play calling has only gotten Matt Ryan to the Super Bowl.. whose offense in 2016 led the league in points scored and helped the team reach Super Bowl LI
Shanahan became the head coach of the 49ers the following season, whom he has led to three playoff runs, three division titles, three NFC Championship Games, and a Super Bowl appearance in Super Bowl LIV with Jimmy Garoppolo.. let that sink in..
The talks about Kyle Shanahan not being good in my opinion are echo chamber talks that people repeat from others including TV analysts.. people have to understand that even media can be bias and unbiased everyone has a team is a fan..if Shanahan were to be let go right now I can guarantee he would be picked up by Majority of teams right away.. he is a winner.. and those teams would change dramatically because it seems like he changes the culture in the locker room as well.. it really looks like the players like the guy a lot.. and yes he hasn’t won the Super Bowl but Andy Reid several times looked the same way before he won it.. my point being he is a great coach.. and he will win at least a couple of Super Bowls in his coaching career..
