Brock Purdy has a vice grip on the starting job for the 49ers this season. How much of a lock is Purdy to start? Well, it’s pretty damn definitive.

It’s one thing to talk in platitudes about having faith in a QB, or say he’s leading the competition — another to say the only way he would lose the job would be to physically melt into a puddle of fleshy goo.

We don’t want to jinx anyone, nor would we like to see Brock Purdy dissolve into mush, but here are some possible ways Purdy could lose the job.

  1. You know how f****** hot it is? He could literally just step outside.
  2. He could choose ... poorly.
