Before you get upset by the title, please give me a second. By the end of this piece, this topic should be viewed as a positive for Brock Purdy. Gordon McGuinness of Pro Football Focus released an article highlighting which quarterbacks got the most help in 2023. The categories are pass protection, receiving corps, scheme, and more.
Purdy’s detractors point out Kyle Shanahan’s scheme and the 49ers’ offensive weapons as the driving force of Purdy’s success. While the 49ers will be number one in a few categories, they are completely left out of the top five and even at times top 10-15.
