The NFL is evolving. Quarterbacks with cement feet are falling behind the 8-ball. If you can't move, you can't play. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was under pressure on one-third of his dropbacks against the Jets. He went 4-for-9 for only 45 yards. Robert Saleh and the New York Jets blitzed Purdy on eight of those plays.
Those numbers sum Purdy up. He's looking to push the ball down the field when he's under fire. Now, he was sacked twice — one on a third down where he did not force the action once the game was in hand — which is something the offense wants to avoid, but he also threw a perfectly placed pass to Brandon Aiyuk in the end zone that would have made these numbers look significantly better.
