Brock Purdy is having a down season. His 91.2 quarterback rating ranks 17th, his 9 touchdown passes ranks tied for 11th and his 63.9 completion ranks a mere 22nd. Mediocre across the board. Here's what Kyle Shanahan said about that.
Last season, he was an MVP candidate. His 113 quarterback rating was the best in the NFL. His 31 touchdown passes were third most. And his 69.4 completion percentage was fourth best. He was a stud.
This season, his 91.2 quarterback rating ranks 17th, his 9 touchdown passes rank tied for 11th and his 63.9 completion ranks a mere 22nd. Mediocre across the board. And his seven interceptions are tied for fourth most. Not good."I think last year was one of the best years, statistically, ever, when you look at just the efficiency of a whole offense," said head coach Kyle Shanahan. "So I think it's hard to do that every year.
Purdy might be having a hell of a year in Shananahan's eyes, but not according to the stats or the win column. Through seven games, Purdy is playing like a turnover-prone .500 quarterback. And he played most of those games with Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle. So if that's what Purdy plays like when McCaffrey isn't on the field, then the 49ers shouldn't give Purdy a long-term extension because McCaffrey's prime won't last much longer if it hasn't ended already.Grant Cohn has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily since 2011.
