Brock Purdy is GOOD. Especially when he has Trent Williams, Deebo, McCaffrey, Kittle, and Brandon Aiyuk on the field, plus one of the best, if not the best head coach in the league. I worry that all those weapons could prevent Purdy from being seen as the elite quarterback he is. How do we help get him in that conversation of elite quarterback?
I remember when this debate happened with Eli Manning, the Giants fans would say, “You can’t spell E-L-I-T-E without Eli!” That seemed effective… didn’t hurt that he won two super bowls, but I’m sure that’s coming for Brock.
What do you all think?
The best thing to do, is to stop worrying about what other people think. They don’t matter right now.
The 50 media people who vote for MVP don’t matter either. That award isn’t the goal, winning a Superbowl is (and in the last 25 years only two QBs won that award and went on to win a Superbowl).
The only thing that matters is that we get to enjoy watching an elite QB on our team and he’s only in his second year as well. This can go on for a while.
If he keeps playing like that, people will have a hard time denying it. They can give Hurts the MVP and in the future people will laugh at that and say Purdy was robbed. It’s fine. We’ve seen that in sports before.
