The bar isn’t just high in San Francisco — it’s sky-high.
As quarterback Brock Purdy prepares to enter his third NFL season, the 49ers fanbase isn’t just hopeful — they’re outright convinced that this is the year. That this is the quarterback. And that the Lombardi Trophy is finally coming home.
After leading the Niners to back-to-back deep playoff runs — including a Super Bowl appearance that came down to the final possession — Purdy has earned the trust of his team, his city, and a league now on notice. With a full offseason under his belt, his core weapons intact, and Kyle Shanahan doubling down on his young QB1, 2025 is being labeled the MVP campaign in waiting.
“He’s poised. He’s surgical. And he wants more,” said one NFC coach during preseason media week.
“If you’re not betting on Brock, you’re not watching the film.”
The roster around him remains loaded: Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle, and a top-five defense anchored by Fred Warner and Nick Bosa. There’s no rebuild here — just a reloaded run toward destiny.
And destiny, if fans get their wish, leads right back to Levi’s Stadium — host of Super Bowl LX.
That’s right: the 49ers aren’t just gunning for redemption. They’re aiming to lift their sixth Lombardi Trophy on home turf. And if they do it, Purdy wouldn’t just be a feel-good story anymore — he’d be an instant legend.
Online, the rallying cry is already echoing:
“Quest for Six.”
Hashtags, banners, murals. All pointing toward one vision — a trophy that’s eluded the 49ers since 1995.
Fans have seen the near-misses, the heartbreaks, the almosts. Now, they believe they’ve got the right man under center — not just to win, but to finish.
