Wow, he was I think a 71 when 2023 began/when the game came out. Does he have the superstar label too?

Anyone know what Purdy's current madden ranking is? Just curious
He's the 9th ranked QB at 85 overall.

Oh eff Cohen, he only says that now to get clicks as he built up his negative agenda against Purdy all year. Not a journalist. Just a headline writer.
Really what should be the key to Purdy being the real deal is that this is the very first QB in decades that actually united Niners fans. No beat writer, no coach, literally no one is as hard on 49ers quarterbacks as 49ers fans (and I'm not saying that's a bad thing necessary, it's just a fanbase that really values and knows the QB position.)
Kap didn't unite the fan base?
I mean before the kneeling stuff. His first yr or two I feel like we were all pretty excited, no?

Oh. Yes. Before the kneeling business...I think a lot of fans were ecstatic. It just didn't last long enough. I mean...the Super Bowl was the end of it. (for me at least) I was still hopeful...but the optimistic realist in me knew it was over.

Looking at that comparison chart I can understand why some people have Dak as MVP. First of all he doesn't have as many weapons as Purdy. None of us can deny that their playmakers just don't match up with SF. The other thing is he plays for the Cowboys. Like it or not, those Eastern writers are going to favor a guy from the NFC East over the NFC West if it's close. I think it should be Purdy but I won't be upset if Dak wins it. Especially if the Niners win the SB.
Can you? Because I absolutely cannot. Dak is CLEARLY #2 when you look at this chart.
Same.
You had me at Dak is clearly number 2
To you and most Niner fans he's #1. That isn't necessarily true for people in other parts of the country. Many of them don't actually see him play and see the way he finds open receivers when the play breaks down. They still view hm as a rather small QB with limited athletic skills. Remember Dallas games are shown in the Eastern time zone so more people see him play. I'm not defending Dak. I'm just trying to explain why Dak is viewed as the MVP favorite by many.
What does not being a Niner fan have to do with being able to read a chart?
People that vote on these awards don't just look at numbers. Those stats may be relevant but the voters look at a lot of things. Come on. You watch enough sports to know that. They're often a popularity contest. They look at comeback wins and that ranks high in their view because those are memorable. It 's often been suggested that the award shouldn't be called most valuable. It should be most outstanding. Those are 2 different things. East coast bias is real and always has been. Two thirds of the population lives there. They don't care about or see many Niner games.
Niner fans are fixated on the Niners. Why not. That's our team. We want our guys to win every award. If they wait until after the SB then the winner of that would often be the MVP.
It sometimes comes down to how would a team do if they had a different QB. The Niners wouldn't be as good but they would still be a playoff team. They have so many weapons that it would be nearly impossible for them not to play well enough to make the playoffs. We saw the Niners make the SB with JG who isn't as good as Brock but was good enough. He didn't have the weapons that Brock had either. Sanders was maybe their best receiver along with Kittle. They didn't have CMC. Still they nearly beat KC. Dallas has Dak and Lamb on offense and a good O line. The rest of their offensive talent is average at best. So you could say Dak is more valuable. Not better but more important to his team relative to the rest of the talent on the team.
Most of this is reasonable, but I dispute that there is some massive gap between the Cowboys and 49ers in terms of skill players PLUS pass protection. The Cowboys pass protection is sufficiently better than the 49ers pass protection that it, IMHO, fully equalizes the difference in skill position players.
MVP is often about the best story. And in the NFL media's eyes, who has a better story than Dak 'Dem Cowboy?

I thought he was pretty polarizing even in year 1. Not because of anything he did, or his personality, but because there was a segment of fans that didn't want to move on from Alex. 'You can't lose your job to injury' was a big nonsense talking point… just like we saw last offseason ;)
