Vote 49ers' Trent Williams for MVP or go to hell

This is not a rant against Brock Purdy. I have already attempted, on multiple occasions, to cynically hold up the 49ers’ starting quarterback’s seventh-round draft status as proof that he’ll never be physically skilled enough to rank up with the Josh Allens of the world. That is no longer a viable argument, if it ever was one. The man is legit, and he has absolved both the Niners and head coach Kyle Shanahan of their attempt to make Trey Lance happen. I respect Brock Purdy, and I’m glad he’s getting talked up as an MVP candidate after he and his offense blew a hole in the Eagles on Sunday.
