Brock Purdy has been so special since he replaced Jimmy Garoppolo last season in Santa Clara. Purdy is undefeated in games that he has finished so far in his brief career, including two playoff wins as well. Early in the season, he has lead the Niners to an undefeated 5-0 record, with the Niners being the best team in the league.
Yet with all of these accomplishments, Purdy seems to fly under the radar in the top quarterbacks conversation. Purdy absolutely deserves to have his name up there with the best of the best in today's league. When you think of great 49er quarterback you think Steve Young and Joe Montana, well he has and is on pace to break even more of their records from their time in the Bay Area.
Many people forget that Brock Purdy started last season as the 3rd string quarterback both Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo and the only reason why he took over was because of injuries. Not only this but he was also the last pick in the entire NFL Draft, deeming him to be named Mr. Irrelevant. What would of happened if he was never drafted?
In Purdy's most recent game he absolutely tore up a stellar Dallas defense for four touchdowns in a 42-10 blowout victory. With the offense putting up these type of numbers and the defense holding their ground, the 49ers are looking unstoppable and at this point unbeatable as we continue down the season.
A lot of people like to make the excuse that Purdy is just a system quarterback and the Niners can plug anyone into the position and they can make it work. I'm here to tell you this is certainly not true. In fact, what happened with their previous quarterback, Trey Lance. Purdy is a special talent and the Niners are very lucky to have found him as the last pick in the NFL draft.
