Brock Purdy says 49ers 'all in'

Brock Purdy used a pair of interviews published Thursday to set an early tone for the San Francisco 49ers’ 2026 season. The quarterback said the team is “all in” on a Super Bowl push and said San Francisco still has the roster to win despite ending last season with a 41-6 divisional-round loss to the eventual champion Seattle Seahawks. Purdy also highlighted veteran wide receiver Mike Evans, one of the club’s biggest offseason additions, as organized team activities approach. The comments appeared in reports published May 21 by the Press Democrat, East Bay Times and outlets that cited video from NBC Sports Bay Area. ### What exactly did Purdy say about the 49ers’ chances? Brock Purdy said San Francisco is “all in” and has “what it takes to go all the way and win it,” according to the East Bay Times’ May 21 report on his remarks. The comments continued a message Purdy has delivered since the end of the 2025 season, when he said he remained fully confident the 49ers could win a Super Bowl with a healthier roster. (eastbaytimes.com) The May 21 comments came after the NFL released San Francisco’s 2026 schedule last week. The 49ers are set to open the regular season against the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne on Sept. 10 in the league’s first regular-season game in Australia, according to the team schedule and NFL listings. ### Why is Mike Evans part of this conversation? Mike Evans has become central to Purdy’s public comments because the receiver is one of the clearest changes to San Francisco’s offense this offseason. (eastbaytimes.com) In interviews and clips cited Thursday by 49ers Webzone, Heavy and Yahoo Sports, Purdy said Evans thinks through routes “like a quarterback,” and described the veteran’s presence as “good pressure” for the offense. (49ers.com) Yardbarker-linked coverage said Purdy praised Evans’ feel for route running and his value in the red zone. Yahoo Sports also reported that Purdy tied Evans’ arrival to the 49ers’ championship window, saying the veteran joined the team with the same goal of winning a Super Bowl. ### How much of this is about last season’s finish? Seattle’s 41-6 win over San Francisco in the divisional round remains the backdrop for Purdy’s remarks. (49erswebzone.com) Yardbarker’s May 21 report framed Purdy’s optimism against that loss, which was the last game the 49ers played before the offseason. January remarks from Purdy, later carried by NFL.com and 49ers Webzone, showed the same theme. (sports.yahoo.com) Purdy said then that San Francisco had “the right guys” and that injuries had shaped much of the season, while expressing confidence the team could rebound. ### What else has changed around the roster? San Francisco’s offseason has included changes beyond Evans. (yardbarker.com) Bleacher Report’s May 21 write-up on Purdy’s comments said the 49ers also added defensive lineman Osa Odighizuwa, while earlier offseason coverage pointed to a revamped receiver room that included Evans and Christian Kirk. (nfl.com) The schedule itself also gives shape to the stakes. NBC Sports Bay Area reported last week that San Francisco’s 2026 slate includes five prime-time games, while USA Today’s Touchdown Wire described it as unusually travel-heavy. ### What comes next before games begin? Organized team activities are the next checkpoint for Purdy, Evans and the rest of San Francisco’s roster as spring work continues. (bleacherreport.com) The regular season begins Sept. 10 against the Rams in Melbourne, followed by Week 2 against Miami and Week 5 against Seattle, according to the NFL and team schedule pages.
