Whenever there’s a success story like Brock Purdy, there’s always a group of know-it-alls who can’t wait to undermine what said player accomplished. In Purdy’s case, it was the 49ers lack of formidable opponents, or the fact that his supporting cast was full of All-Star caliber players.
Purdy took the Niners offense to new heights. They won convincingly in every game that he started and finished. He was near the top of the league in every advanced stat we cite, from EPA to Passing Points Earned Per Play to Points Above Average Per Play. So, whether it was a pass in the quick game or a play where Purdy needed to create, he went above and beyond.
