Purdy is a good player, but he has the easiest job of any quarterback in the NFL.
He has an elite defense, an elite group of offensive weapons and a cutting-edge play designer. He almost always plays with a lead and almost never has to sweat. That's a big reason why he currently leads the league in passer rating.
I think we can agree that the following quarterbacks would put up better numbers than Purdy if they played for the 49ers: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence. Then there's the next tier of quarterbacks: Tua Tagovailoa, Lamar Jackson, Russell Wilson, Geno Smith, Jared Goff, Jalen Hurts, Jordan Love, Deshaun Watson -- all of them conceivably could put up comparable numbers to Purdy if they played for the 49ers.
And then there are the young, up-and-coming quarterbacks like Purdy who play for inferior teams: C.J. Stroud, Sam Howell, Justin Fields, Mac Jones, Zach Wilson, Bryce Young. It's possible one or two of them could flourish on the 49ers like Purdy has.Purdy clearly is good. But how many other teams in the NFL would he start for right now? Would he start for the Seahawks? The Rams?Copyright ABG-SI LLC. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED is a registered trademark of ABG-SI LLC. All Rights Reserved.
