Only Peyton Manning was ever praise as basically calling his own plays and people questioned why the had an Offensive coordinator. With that type of hyperbole.

@@Dryltd Peyton truly isn't the system QB, he went to 4 SBs with 4 diffrent coaches, 4 diffrent OC and 4 diffrent systems of offense. I don't know did you watch him, because I don't know how old are you, but people who played against him were telling at TV (not at some podcasts), it was cheating to play against him, because having him at field was like having OC at field. At 2006 SB he completly changed the offensive game plan after 1st Quarter, after he saw conditions at field (heavy rain and slip field) and how Bears defense is prepared for passing game, he decided to change most of the plays to running plays, people forget that game Colts had more rushing attempts than passing and they had far more rushing yards than than Bears who were best running team that season 191-111. Peyton only completed 2 passes for 20+ yards, throwing mostly short passes, screens or check downs to his RBs which was basically another way just to run the ball. Best adaptation of one QB to game conditions that I ever seen in my life and he did that with his mind in SB at biggest stage.

@@MarioCindric I said people were saying that about Peyton but I didn't commit because I have no evidence to reference. But what you said matches my memory of Peyton playing.

He picked Seattle to win the division, was apparently upset that the 49ers traded Lance and thought it would sink them, picked the Cowboys to represent the NFC in the SB and to beat the Niners (got demolished). Was pimping Prescott for MVP when Purdy was having, arguably, a better season than him.

Calling Nick an analyst is playing pretty loose with the definition. I don't recall who said it, but it he went through the Lion's offense and said they match the 9ers on all the skill positions except for Deebo. The Lions also have a much better O-Line, so this isn't a cake walk.

In his first season with Manning, he almost had 800 while only playing 12 games. And then for the next like 6+ years went over 1k. All of them with Manning. The same thing happened with Demaryius Thomas when Manning moved to Denver. Before Manning got there Thomas in his first two years, didn't have a 600 yard season. But with Manning, he got like 3 straight 1300 yard seasons. Literally double. The arguement I'm trying to make is that Manning deserves more credit for Harrison than you make it seem to be.

Lamar Jackson only needs to play well THIS YEAR to get it; Brock Purdy has to play well in a time period that has yet to exist. The MVP award is not a team award.

[@ColdRunnerGWN]

I'm looking at Greg's list and noticed that only Allen and Jackson are also MVP candidates, yet there are another 12 QBs he's put ahead of Purdy. Odd. edit: I realized I forgot Dak is also on the list, but that still means only 3 QBs are in the MVP conversation other than Purdy.

[@JohnnyD8656]

So grateful for Broussard speaking this common sense.. Chris, you say all the stuff I’m yelling at my screen when I hear all these hate angles that make zero sense. Chris & Dusty.. Can y’all please just put together an easy to watch compilation of Purdy’s tape.. Wright and Jennings need to see it and it seems the only games nick watches is with Mahommes

[@Denney17]

Will you be ok with us watching the tape from the packers game? Because well see 3 quarters of garbage playing!

[@eternityecho-ug2fu]

@@Denney17 The recency bias is real. Maybe the kid's confidence is broken. But it takes more than 2 bad games over the course of a month to know that. If he comes out in the NFC championship and throws like he did in the GB game, then I could see people making that argument. But you can see about 10 really good games from him this year and 3 really bad games. That's pretty solid from any QB.

[@connor_phillipz5689]

​@@Denney17Go watch The QB School or any other number of YT channels who actually break down the film and you'll find that youre wrong. Purdy didn't play well, but the idea that he was absolutely terrible until that last drive is just factually incorrect. The tape reflects that.

[@samuelwallace2782]

Nicks point makes no sense. "People want to compare Purdy to elite talents and then turn around and say that he's not elite." Like, duh! He's obviously not some astonishing talent, but he is putting up elite numbers. All people want is for nick to acknowledge that Purdy is playing amazing, especially given his draft position, and that it's unfair to dismiss every success as solely due to his coach and team, as if no other qb has ever had a good coach and talented roster. Literally, all Nick would have to say is, "I don't think that Purdy is a top 5 talent, but he has been playing like a top 5 quarterback." That's it

[@Christopher._M]

I'm not an expert in football. I just watch it but I'm confident in my ability to judge players. One thing elite players have in common is they either make something out of nothing in incredible fashion like mahomes or they make it look easy like Brady. Aaron is an example of a QB that can do both. Form what I have seen so far purdy is pretty similar to Brady where he makes the right play, at the right time, and is consist. So he make it look easy. Purdy isn't a gifted thrower like mahomes or Allen but he can make some great pases. He has pretty great touch. I think purdy is a lot better than Nick gives him credit for. His stats are not just great for a 2nd year QB. His stats are not just great compared to the average QB today. His stats are not great compared to even the top 10 QB's. His stats are great compared to most Qb's ever. If you went through every season in NFL history you can probably only find 2-3 guys a season that comes close to what purdy had this year. In many years he would have the best stats. Jimmy never got close to what purdy has shown. Even the eye test purdy makes more difficult passes more often. Purdy can make throws more consistently than jimmy ever could. People used to say jimmy was your average QB. So how can purdy be average when he's by far out played any version of Jimmy. That doesn't make sense So either purdy is a lot better than what people want or have the guts to give him credit for or people just can't evaluate and compare at all. In my opinion purdy will be better than every QB in his generation. Maybe the exception is mahomes and borrow. But I think purdy has the Brady Mind.

[@timslack7568]

Patrick Mahomes in his 2nd year in the league, 1st as a starter having only played in 1 game previously, at only 23 years old, went 12-4, threw for 5097 yards and 50 Tds, rushed for 272 yards and 2 TDs, was OPotY and League MVP, and was Dee Ford offsides from beating Brady and going to the Super Bowl. Forget comparing Purdy to the now becoming further distant past players, lets compare him to his contemporaries who played in the same style of play league.

[@eternityecho-ug2fu]

If he's getting compared to Mahomes, that might actually be worse. No one has ever said he's as good as Mahomes. I think most people said he played like a top 5 QB this year. Which he did, statistically.

[@lisaac9477]

What happened? Oh, he got paid and the talent had to leave.

[@lisaac9477]

BTW, what Purdy did this year is the pinnacle of efficiency as he's top 5 in yards but middle of the pack in attempts. I'm guessing if most QB's throw 40-50 passes a game they could pass 5,000yds just as easy. Mahommes is benefitting greatly from a Andy Reid pass heavy scheme.

[@timslack7568]

@@lisaac9477 Purdy 28 Attempts per game - Mahomes this year 37 attempts per game - Mahomes when he threw for 5000 and 50tds 36 attempts per game so yes a QB throwing 50 times a game probably could do that but no QB is doing that and Reids pass heavy offense isnt too much more pass heavy than Shanahans offense, just different styles of passes due to different capabilities QBs and different HBs/WRs

[@ultravenia]

There is a freaking country between comparable to Mahomes and mediocre and carried by his team. Is it acceptable that Purdy be there?

[@EruptionRC]

This isn't hard. Brock Purdy's play this year was elite, look at the stats. Is he among the elite QB's of the league? Answering that after the first full season for a QB isn't reasonable. It has to be consistent through multiple seasons to join that group. Some people reasonably wait for Purdy to play at this level another season before saying he's joined the elite QB's. Nick and Greg use that as a shield against their ridiculous takes on Purdy's current season.

[@juliancastano4943]

People try and make it seem like Mahomes single handedly brought the Chiefs out of poverty. They were already good and had really good players and one of the best HC offensive minds ever. Mahomes was the missing piece but people need to stop with this notion that he had bums at receiver and in the backfield with a really good offensive line. Mahomes is great but so is that entire team. Hence two world championships in the past 4 seasons. (We’ll see what happens this season).

[@matthewharrison9815]

2022 Purdy takes over and goes 5-0 with 107 rating. As a rookie takes takes his team to the NFC championship. 2023 he goes 12-4 and leads the team to a 2nd NFC championship and leads in many key qb stats. In mvp conversation. Rating of 113. That's fantastic start. Haters gonna hate.

[@eternityecho-ug2fu]

It's because of Jimmy. He looked good last year. Was playing the best football I've ever seen him play. Because Jimmy went and failed at the Raiders, people are going to assume that the 9ers are in the exact same scenario. However, Purdy has clearly been better than Jimmy was. Most people will admit to that, but they say that still makes you a bad QB. Unless the 9ers go get a different QB, or he gets hurt, we really won't know for another year at least. Even if they win the SB, the doubters will be around all next year.

[@AlBa-de2kl]

Haha, I can't wait for Nick to come up with another goal moving scheme tonight:)

[@gdawe503]

That QB list is a ranking based on career and projection based on where they were drafted and the hype...Nick doesnt get that people are talking about ''this year", Purdy had a better year than 90% on this list, that doesnt mean he is going to be better than them long term, who knows where this will stand in 3-4 years down the road... But a good QB can have a great year, just like a great QB can have a down year

[@renaldoawes2210]

It's still an awful list. I mean if we're talking about career projection, Purdy already has a better career than half the guys on this list. He's projecting Purdy to be awful the rest of his career and projecting all these QBs to get to the Championship game multiple times? It can't happen there aren't enough Championship games for every one of these QBs to catch Purdy in that respect. Even if he did flounder away the rest of his career.

I was in my 20s during the 80's and I was one of the few arguing that Joe Montana was a system QB and if I were to start a football team, I'd take Marino over Montana. Brock is just like Joe Montana. he's an excellent system qb in an excellent system.

[@ColdRunnerGWN]

I was watching both during the 80's and Marino vs Montana reminds me of Mahomes vs Allen. Marino was definitely the better physical player with a cannon for arm, but Montana has 4 rings, while Marino doesn't have one. That isn't due to a system, unless you think Shula wasn't very good.

[@johannf36]

@ColdRunnerGWN Shula had a great career but he wasn't as good as Bill Walsh at the time. Walsh was to the 80s what McVey or Shanahan is to today's NFL. They are the future.

[@ColdRunnerGWN]

@@johannf36 - I'm not going to claim that Walsh wasn't a better coach, but the Dolphins did make it to the SB twice with Marino. My point is that Montana brought he hardware home, and no matter how good a coach or the system is, the QB still has to make the plays.

Still waiting for that goal post on the table...

[@huh3719]

Purdy is the most valuable player on that team. When cmc doesn’t get a ton of yards can they still win? Yes. Look at the cowboys game. When Purdy has a bad game can they still win? No, they’ve lost every time he plays bad and they haven’t lost often. If Kittle has a bad game can they still win? Yes. Everyone blames him for the Loss, but then won’t admit he’s the most valuable, it’s literally every qb. Every qb is the most valuable player, that doesn’t mean he’s a better player than cmc, cmcs a better rb than Purdy is a QB, but QB is the most valuable player to the team. JJ Watt said it best, “The honest truth is that it’s physically impossible for any one player to be more “valuable” than the quarterback. They touch the ball every single play. A QB should always win MVP. “Best Player” and “MVP” are often, but not always the same.””

[@articdoughnut8531]

Purdy is the 2nd most valuable player on the 49ers. 1. Trent Williams, the 49ers O line is not very good besides him. The 49ers have lost every game Williams has missed or left early in. 2. Brock Purdy, Sam Darnold is only good enough to not lose a game if the 49ers have a 2 score or more lead late in the game. Why is McCaffrey not 2nd? Elijah Mitchell. People forget how good he is because he sits behind the best hb in the league. Mitchell, when he was the lead back before he got hurt, was electric. He could definitely hold down the fort in a McCaffrey absence, and we have kind of seen some of that this season. He is more than capable of being a starting hb, and whatever team gets him after his rookie contract is up will have their future rb1. The drop off from Purdy to Darnold is greater and more detrimental to the teams success than the change of McCaffrey to Mitchell.
