Purdy's numbers look pretty similar to Mahomes' this season and both quarterbacks have dealt with significant injuries at the skill positions. The biggest difference appears to be the touchdowns, where Mahomes has 22 to Brock's 15. That demonstrates to me that Patrick is more of a playmaker than Brock, which everybody already knows. If you ask me, the biggest question mark for Brock isn't so much the arm, or the zone/man thing, it is that Brock has consistently faded in the 4th quarter of games this season. Where everybody knows that even if Mahomes, Allen, or even Stafford, starts slow, at some point these quarterbacks are going to turn it on. I don't see that push late in games from Purdy. Sometimes it's luck, sometimes it's skill. Mahomes is a great 4th quarter QB, Brady was, and Montana was. Brock thus far fades late in games, often making stupid decisions with the ball trying to make a play, and that is a problem for the 49ers if they want to pay him $60m.
If you believe in the NFL Next Gen Stats figures, Ja'Marr Chase has been getting as much separation this season as Deebo Samuel (2.9yards) so are the WR's really different? Or is Brock?
textbook case of how advanced stats and metrics can give wildly inaccurate results compared to the ol eye test.
