On today's episode of The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi discuss San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy's first public comments since his UCL repair surgery and break down some growing optimism about his return-to-play timeline. Might the 49ers be confident that Purdy won't miss too much time this season?

Plus, another week and another quarterback the 49ers are tied to. According to a report, the talk of the combine in late February included the 49ers and Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, who has long been a favorite of 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. Might there be any legitimacy to this rumor or is it time to take all these rumors with a grain of salt?

Also, at the NFL's annual owners meetings, 49ers owner Jed York talked about how much he'd be willing to spend if it means a win for his team. How has York managed to change him image within the 49ers fan base and how much credit does he deserve for the financial investment he continually puts into his team?
