From the article

When the 49ers got trounced in the NFC Divisional round, Brock Purdy completed three passes to wide receivers. Three... he had plenty of time to throw. On average, Purdy had a whopping 4.24 seconds to throw on 33 dropbacks. He only completed 55.6% of his passes because there was nobody to throw the ball to.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Purdy's poor playoff performance was receiver-driven, not arm talent or protection.

In the 2025 NFC Divisional playoff loss, Purdy completed only three passes to wide receivers despite having adequate time to throw; he averaged 4.24 seconds to throw on 33 dropbacks but completed just 55.6% of his passes because there was nobody to throw to, highlighting the receiver group's inadequacy rather than offensive line or quarterback performance issues.
