ESPN's Dan Orlovsky made a stray comparison between Patriots quarterback Mac Jones and 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy on Monday.
Before 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy can enter the conversation for MVP, as his teammates so desperately want, he’ll have to escape the shadow of Mac Jones. If it sounds strange to compare a player who has yet to lose in the regular season, and is at the top of the league in nearly every statistical category, with a guy who was just benched for the second straight game this season, it’s because the comparison is quite a leap.
But he’s also not the first to compare Jones with Purdy after the San Francisco player had a big win. Back in January, NBC pundit Chris Simms used the 49ers’ win over the Seahawks in the playoffs as proof that San Francisco should have selected Jones with the No. 3 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Simms even called Purdy “a lesser Mac Jones.” It was the latest in a long stretch of constantly hearing about the former Alabama quarterback.
