So, we've seen Purdy in about 11 games now (excluding mop up last year and Eagles game with no elbow). So far he's yet to have a bad game, which to me is unprecedented. I think he'll have one at some point soon, and this place will probably implode that day, but for now let's not worry about that.
So, if this is our QB—this guy who has led this team these last 11 games—who do we have? Let's extrapolate these 11 games out for a career, and assume for the sake of simplicity that Purdy performs no better or worse; he doesn't improve, nor does he regress. The Purdy of today is the Purdy of the next ten years. What does that give us?
I think this gives us a HOF QB. If this is Purdy's baseline, this level of play, at what point is it okay to start acknowledging that he's got HOF talent? After 16 games, two seasons, three? Obviously it still feels so premature, but this guy won't give us a bad game to sink our teeth into, after 2/3s of a season's worth of games. Crazy.
He's Hall of Fame if he plays like this and he will probably get better.
He will get better if you give him a better OLine.
Right now they are a Tier 3 OLine. (Source - NCommand

Now if you give Brock a Tier 1 OLine (a line that would give Brock 3+ seconds in the pocket) Which YACBros says is too Draft Captial intensive - Brock definitely can transcend whatever QB level he's at now. Personally, I don't think the 49ers OLine is far from Tier 1. The left side is elite (Trent, Banks, Brendel) it's Burford and McKivitz that draw the OLine grades down a bit (for now).
