Howdy, I'm Ben Solac. This is Radio Row. We're here live in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl. We've already done our

schematic preview for Niners Chiefs upcoming on Sunday. You can watch that here. I've always wanted to do

the point to where a YouTube video thing is. I don't know if I'm doing the right side. We're also doing

two episodes live from Vegas. And those are on the anatomy of the teams that are here, the Niners and the Chiefs. We want

to talk about how these teams built themselves to get to the Super Bowl run. What was necessary

for them over the course of this season to arrive here. And critically, if there are any

lessons the rest of the league can glean from the Niners and the Chiefs. We're starting today

with San Francisco.

Any story of the 49ers Super Bowl run starts with the emergence of Brock Purdy, one of the

most unlikely, if not the unlikeliest Super Bowl quarterback of the last like two decades.

The ex-Mr. Irrelevant has elevated the 49ers offense in meaningful, measurable ways since he took over

for Jimmy Garoppolo after his injury in the middle of the 2022 season. Now there's been a ton of

Brock Purdy discourse over his time as the starting quarterback. We've participated in that discourse

here on the play sheet. Insert, look at video part two. The current discourse is about Purdy the game

manager. They're kind of dumping this title on him as a guy who doesn't elevate the offense in any way.

He's just there to manage it.

This is not accurate.

Anybody who watches Purdy film, we talked about this.

So the first episode we did, he had like six total NFL quarters.

He clearly brings something to the offense.

He brings explosiveness.

He brings creativity.
