But what is clear is that Purdy won over a lot of fans by coming off the bench and nearly taking San Francisco to the Super Bowl. Will that be enough for Purdy to win the job? And could Brady make a surprise cameo with Purdy as the backup next season? One thing San Francisco made quite clear this season is it has the pieces around the quarterback position to compete for a Super Bowl. "The 49ers may or may not need to upgrade from Purdy to get over the top. Even with the limited action, plenty of chatter regarding Purdy and his future began following the loss.

NBC Sports' Peter King broke down how he believes the 49ers should handle the QB1 spot next season.

When the results come back, the 49ers could have a better understanding of how they'll approach a difficult, busy offseason.

As for Purdy, second opinions will shed light his long-term status, but a full UCL tear is ominous, to say the least. With that in mind, don't be surprised if the 49ers re-up Garoppolo's tenure with the team after signing him to a surprising one-year, $7 million contract last offseason. In the baseball world, Bryce Harper had Tommy John surgery after the season in November and could be back by mid-May. And with the 49ers' QB issues this year, they'll want to carry at least two viable options next season. Jake Delhomme got the surgery in October 2007 and he was back by September 2008, although that was after chronic arm pain. The initial injury came on the first series of the game, when Purdy's arm was hit by a charging Haason Reddick, forcing a fumble.

[Brandon Aiyuk](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4360438/brandon-aiyuk) off play-action. But Mullens' injury fit the criteria, and he became the first NFL quarterback to undergo a UCL repair with InternalBrace, a procedure that also enabled him to return to the field sooner than if he had required a full reconstruction. He came out of the game but was later forced to return when backup On second-and-6 at the 50, he dropped back and prepared to fire a deep pass to receiver It was initially ruled an incomplete pass but overturned to a fumble on an Eagles challenge. If UCL surgery is needed, it becomes a question of whether the athlete requires a full UCL reconstruction with a tendon graft, otherwise known as Tommy John surgery, or whether a surgical repair of the damaged ligament will suffice. The brace is a synthetic "check-rein" implanted alongside the repair to help reinforce the ligament as it heals. While regular daily activities might not require an intact UCL, a thrower requires stability at the elbow in order to not only throw effectively but do so repeatedly. A repair is typically less invasive and would offer a shorter recovery time for Purdy. Based on that timeline, Purdy could return around the start of training camp or, perhaps, a couple of weeks into it. "My arm felt like it stretched out," Purdy said after the loss.

How injury curse ruined Super Bowl fairytale... and could trigger 'dream' Brady move.

Whether it is more dream than reality for San Francisco though remains to be seen. I’ve got one of the most dynamic players in the NFL on the offensive side of the ball in Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel, who is No. Plus, opposition teams will also have the chance to study his game over the off-season, presenting a fresh challenge. remember that jersey that you wore? There is just not enough of a sample size to work with. “I’ve got a stout defence. “You were a little boy... I’ve got a running game. He’s never been willing to do that, and he’s just not. I don’t see him going anywhere. For starters, we don’t really know what Lance looks like in this 49ers offence. Just pain, really, all over.”
