I also really dislike when posters try to criticize Brock over things they excused previous QBs for over and over again.
Back to you calling my post that you called "comical hyperbole".....ok I will bite. You call it comical. Well it should be easy to refute then right? Go for it. Show me the list of QBs who have played better in their first 14 career starts than Purdy has. Who has been better than 26 touchdowns, 7 interceptions and a 112.9 passer rating. Patrick Mahomes. Then who? I'll be waiting.
the prob you want to make a stats argument
yet realize the stats don't come from a vacuum, they come from playing with an elite playcaller, elite weapons, a modern day M Faulk, a best in club history TE, a best in NFL LT, etc. One can imagine the exact same BP dropped into NYG and the stats wouldn't be 'best of all time'. Yet he would be the same dude. Playing at the same level. Guys around him wouldn't be tho. Hell, JG was top ten stats wise rated, I wouldn't draw all time conclusions tho from that, cuz I watch him play.
Take the Minny game, Kirk outplayed BP. Just flat had a much better game. Period. With a lot less to work with.
BP was asked to lead us back in 3 games, and we lost all 3. He didn't really play great in any of them. He had his what are you doing here play vs Jax. He left a TD on the board cuz he didn't pick up the pre snap blitz.
He's doing great. 
We don't need to get silly and say he's better than all the QBs of all time,
here's your quote: he is performing better than almost every QB to ever play the sport
So then we can't use any stats for any QB ever, because you can't control for all of those other variables for different QB's? Come on, dude. We're not assessing who we would draft 1st overall in an all-time draft of all QB's. Sure, if that's the argument - then you need a lot of nuance and can't just go by stats. But to discredit what Purdy is doing because he has a good playcaller, good weapons, etc? That's weak in my opinion. This was the same argument that was/is used against Jimmy G, which I've seen you debate against hundreds of times. Weird now to be using it as a point against Purdy.
Without a doubt Purdy is performing better than almost every QB to ever play the sport to start his career. And you could make an argument for all-time, as his current QB rating and QBR would put him in the top 30 seasons in both all-time; with a lot of football left to play to bring those numbers up. As SLC said, he was top 3 in QBR all-time before the 3 game skid. We'll see how the season plays out and where he ranks, but regardless, I don't understand why people are hesitant to call it like it is. Purdy is playing QB at an elite level.
