49ers — Muffed

McCaffrey's 2025 was a league-winning, number 1 overall running back season built on historic volume and an elite 23 percent target share. The one wart: a career-low 3.9 yards per carry and a rushing expected points added of minus 21 — the ground efficiency lagged badly behind the receiving production.

Purdy ranked as the number 6 quarterback per game but only the number 23 in total points — an elite talent who got muffed by a turf toe injury that ate eight games. The 10 interceptions in just nine starts dragged down his floor and turned efficiency into weekly risk.

The 49ers' season MVP was Christian McCaffrey — 1,202 rushing yards, 924 receiving yards, 17 total touchdowns, and plus 39 in receiving expected points added that turned the short passing game into the most dangerous phase of this offense. The biggest thing San Francisco needs to fix is the pass rush and its downstream effect on the secondary: 20 sacks across 17 games and plus 67.6 in passing expected points added allowed is a unit that couldn't get home or get off the field, and the 14 total takeaways — less than one per game — meant the defense almost never created the short fields this offense needed.
