But 49ers GM John Lynch says Purdy is confident in his own position and thrilled that Jones is keeping the team in contention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA cool quality about Brock Purdy is he\u2019s one of the most self-assured people in a very humble way,\u201d Lynch <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GXX1bzV_yGI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">said on KNBR<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to explain, but I think it\u2019s one of the things that appealed to us. He\u2019s just very confident in his abilities, but he\u2019s just a good guy. He\u2019s got an incredible amount of humility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lynch said Purdy isn\u2019t worried about his own status.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do wholeheartedly believe that Brock is nothing but happy for our team,\u201d Lynch said. \u201cHe\u2019s working his tail off to try to get back and I think we all feel blessed and fortunate that we found a guy to be our backup this year who can go in and play like a starter and earn us tough, hard-fought wins. Mac\u2019s doing a tremendous job. It\u2019s been fun. We\u2019ve talked about the process he\u2019s gone through and you could see throughout the offseason, through training camp, the confidence built, and some of those innate abilities that we saw way back in college come to the forefront, and it\u2019s cool to see that happen on a big stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lynch said he doesn\u2019t know when Purdy will be healthy enough to play again. Jones, who is playing through an injury of his own, is expected to get his fourth start of the season on Sunday in Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 49ers are 3-0 with Mac Jones starting in place of the injured Brock Purdy, and that has&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":216905,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-216904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216904"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216904\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
