Brady and Purdy have one thing in common: both were thrown into the game on exceptionally good teams and were not asked to carry the team. In Brady's first years, that Pats defense was elite, and he wasn't asked to air it out like he did in later years. Purdy is in a similar situation. SF has one of the most stacked rosters in the league. It's got elite receivers, running game, defense, coaching. SF has it all. Purdy is the weak point, but he's not asked to do too much, and he's been good so far.

They're also extremely intelligent. Build and arm strength get all the combine attention, but reading defenses is what makes a great quarterback.

I can’t wait until Drop Thurdy continues to play like this long enough that this L of a take finally goes away. He’s undefeated for basically half of the season. His stats are the best of any qb over that stretch. Anybody who is actually watching has seen him make plays and show talent. If a high draft pick rookie qb did over the first 7 games of a season what bcb has done over these 7 people would be calling him a franchise qb. But because people can’t believe in mr. Irrelevant, he’s just a “system qb”.
