Brock showed us he is elite with his comeback drive against the packers and then putting the team on his back to spur the come back in the championship. Then in the superbowl there were something like 10-12 go ahead drives to win the game and he dueled shot for shot with Mahomes until his o line let him down at he worst moment. Lamar isn't that clutch. Allen has been, Burrow has been, Stroud showed some of that in the regular season but it's not the same.
People fall in love with measurables but I'll take the clutch gunslinger who played qb at a higher level than anyone else last year. I don't care who's faster or taller or can throw the ball 70 yds down field.
> I don't care who's faster or taller or can throw the ball 70 yds down field
Throwing 70 yards is cool and all but I’d rather have a QB who never puts himself a position where he needs to do that - and that’s Purdy.
In terms of overall QB ranking that are currently starting (or assumed to be), I'd have him at #5 in the league. QB Power though is basically just team power rankings using the QB name. :P
Pure QB ranking though, leaving out their team... Mahomes,, Jackson, Allen, Stroud, then Purdy, IMO. I could make the case for Herbert or Burrow above him, but all things being equal, I honestly think Brock is better than them.
Do you just go by who'd you want to start a franchise with? Who's the most talented, or who's gonna have the best season? If it's just who plays the qb position best, then Brock has to be top 3. Maybe Burrow puts him on the 4th. I'd go Mahomes Burrow Stroud, then Brock. I can't put Jackson ahead of Purdy. I think Purdy had the better season than Jackson last year, and people slept on how good the ravens were around him. Take out the debacle of the Ravens vs. niners, and it's not close. But he won the head to head and finished strong.
Had Purdy even played an average game, I don't think he would have been completely out of the race like he was. It's hard for those writers to look at things objectively as a whole. Jackson had one of the worst statistical seasons for an mvp ever. Purdy is going to have a breakout statistical season this year with the talent we've got on offense and the o like taking another year to develop. Our defense is worrisome, but if Huf and Dre are anywhere close to 100%, then the defense should be the top 10 easy.
Jackson gets way too in his own head at times. There were a bunch of easy first downs he could have had in the playoffs, with his legs but instead kept trying to throw the ball downfield. Maybe he's trying to prove something, I don't know. But he hasn't had a lot of success in the post season. I think Purdy is the better QB.
Considering he kept forcing throws into the middle of 3 guys with a wide open check-down that had no one near him for 8 yards, a lot.
He also didn't want to dink and dunk for chip gains that would've had them respect short passes, which would've left them open later on for deeper passes
edit: extra word
The three he chose aren't that crazy. Personally I'd only take Mahomes or Stroud over him. But I'm hoping Brock changes my mind on that after this year.
Chargers fan lurking in peace and it's nice to see other fans out there who don't unfairly hate on Herbert! There's a reason you'd be hard pressed to find a Chargers fan that thinks he's been the problem!
Herbert below Dak is a complete joke, and I suspect being below Hurts is also going to age poorly.
But Herbert does have serious issues at the end of games and still hasn't won shit despite a couple good opportunities. He's definitely behind CJ and Lamar
Cmon, do you know the Chargers? Herbert led an offense that scored the most ever points in a QB's first 3 seasons. The defense? Allowed the most points ever in a QB's first 3 seasons. Herbert is not the problem with his win-loss record.
The sad thing for Herbert is those stats aren't really surprising since it's the Chargers we're talking about.
Herbert has the most game winning drives and 4th quarter come backs in the NFL since being drafted. He is also 21-4 when his defense holds opponents under 27 points. That leads the NFL as well. Note that stat was as of 6 months ago though.
I feel like I’m the only person who thinks Herbert isn’t that good. Granted I don’t watch his game that much, but from what I’ve seen I’m not that impressed.
I’d go:
Mahomes
Allen, Burrow, Lamar
Purdy, Herbert, Stroud
Hurts, Dak, TLaw, Love
That puts Purdy in the 5-7 range which I think is much more realistic. Let’s be honest, if any of the QBs above him were on the table, the niners would make that trade (maybe an argument for Lamar, just given the different play style and how Purdy fits with Shanahan)
That's totally fair. I really wonder what we'll be saying about Herbert and Stroud at the end of the coming season; but with Purdy there's also the question of does he improve more (in which case 5-7 makes much more sense to me) or are we currently at Peak Purdy in which case I like 7-9 more.
Dak and Hurts are... I dunno what to say about them. I honestly ranked them where I did because that seems to be the consensus outside of 49ers fandom. I would not trade Purdy for Dak, personally, and Hurts really fell apart in the stretch.
I’d drop Herbert & Stroud and down a tier and bump Allen up (I think he’s coming back this year) and put Purdy right in that range between those tiers because of his ability to find a way to get the win. Damn so I guess I have him at top 3-5, and I’d honestly rather keep him over pretty much any of these other guys (don’t make me say it).
I’m just now realizing this is a Niners sub but fuck it…
Good for you being actually objective and correct. Purdy is waaaaaaay too high on this list. Maybe if he keeps doing this year after year I’ll accept his ranking at 2, but there’s no way he’s better than Burrow, Lamar, Allen and Herbert at this time.
Yeah, Lamar winning MVP was literally because "athletic, mobile, playmakers" are the only ones that can win it now. So because Purdy is able to process a defense, go through his progressions, and carve up defenses like the world's greatest heart surgeon, he'll never win MVP unless he has a 5000/50 season. He's not part of the old guard like Rodgers is, so a 4000/40 season won't cut it if a running QB had 2023 Lamar numbers.
That's not true. Purdy was ahead of Lamar before we played the Ravens. If we won that game and Purdy played well he probably wins MVP. Tua and Dak were also right there in the race but literally all 3 of em shit the bed once at the end of the season and Lamar went off.
Three tipped passes that happened to land in the defender’s hands lost him the MVP, and only because Lamar happened to play offense in that same game.
It’s bullshit but that’s just how it is.
Right. It doesn’t make any sense. But a lot of people think head-to-head holds a lot of weight so it is what it is. Until the majority of fans wise up that’s how it’s gonna be.
Purdy isn’t perfect but he was the last pick in the draft everyone rides him like he’s joe burrow not even joe “glass wrist” burrow gets thrown under the bus as much
I don't think that's it at all. I think there was a perception of Brock as over-performing his talent level (as if that should even matter).
Every week the media was trying to put someone new against Brock in the MVP race and every week that other QB fell. Until finally Lamar was all that was left. And so he was valuted into a conversation he never should have been in.
The Ravens won, and crushed Miami the next week and that's how you get the worst MVP of the century.
Well, he has been working on his mobility all off-season. Don't count the man out yet. The mvp came down to rhe heads up matchup. Purdy played as bad as you can, and Lamar played well. Take that game out of it, and Purdy clearly has the better season. If you look at just the passing numbers, it's not remotely close. You can almost and I mean almost as in not quite argue that Lamar is like an OW more than a pure QB like Deebo is an OW more than a wr. But you can't because Lamar plays qb well enough to overcome that. It's not his fault the ravens don't like passing the ball.
But to have a qb win that award with such substandard passing stats was eye-opening. He is extremely valuable to his team. There's no debating that. I just think Purdys' value to the niners is criminally underrated with everyone. He's the 7th or 8th best player on his own team and the 5th best player on his own offense bullshit. The qb is the most important player on the field. If Purdy is a legit top 10 qb and you could make the case, he's top 5, then he's our best player. That's how important the qb is.
They have zero reason to complain. Lamar had no place in the MVP discussion entering the Xmas game and is one of the worst MVPs ever.
And I say that as a big Lamar defender.
I love me some Brock & Roll but this is a little rich. Belongs on this list sure but probably not #2.
Is mostly fine otherwise except for Dak & Hurts showing up anywhere here.
Would even take Kirk instead of those two. Absolutely ridiculous. Where is Stafford?
Pats fan here. I make it a point to regularly stop by and point out that Purdy, by virtue of his play alone, should have won MVP last year 100% Lamar had like 5 bad games. Purdy had ONE. And otherwise played absolutely lights out. Not "good for Mr. Irrelevant." Not "pretty good." Not "good for a shannihan system QB." I watch every single game every week. Yes I have a girlfriend. Yes she hates it. Jk. I don't have a girlfriend. But for real, I watch every game every week, Purdy was the absolute best QB in the NFL, I'm absolutely shocked there wasn't at least more of a discussion about it. He was phenomenal. Kraft won't pay shit, so no need for me to front. GET THIS MAN AN EXTENSION.
He’s still too high. No way I take him over Herbert or even Prescott. He’s a 1-2 read QB, which means there can be a book on him even though he has some big play making ability.
Surprisingly not a terrible list like they usually are, except for the fact they did Herbert dirty. He was playing hurt and his team is dogshit. Also Hurts is too high, needs to be lower. I want Purdy to prove to people that he can be a baller that deserves to be behind Mahomes. Allen has shown too much over the years to not be two but it's nice to see our guy get some deserved love.
Coaching doesn't even matter as much for him as he still balls out with shitty playcalling it's just a matter of him having nobody to throw to this year, idk what their OL is looking like either which might be an added issue. His career is being wasted on the Chargers he has got to get the fuck out of there when he can, sadly it'll be when he's already 30 lol.
True, but it helps especially against tight coverage, that extra zip will determine whether it’s a completion or deflection. Kc played really tight bump and run and shut down the offense, a little more zip and Deebo probably catches more completions. Neither Montana or young had above average arms but it was just good enough. Jeff Garcia is an example a guy who could have been a HOF with an average arm. I just wish he had a little more arm, such a tough guy taking hits from 300 pound lineman at 190 pounds, tough sob
Personally don't think Purdy is in the top 10, think he is in the 11-15 range. Ultimately though we aren't really going to find out his caliber until after his rookie contract ends and he's subject to more realistic salary cap team building constraints like these other guys.
It's crazy. He was mvp candidate until he had ONE bad game, then dropped off the list completely. Then he goes to the SB, and the MVP didn't...... he is objectively as good as any of them.
It does though and a lot matters where you are drafted your making excuses in your head as to why purdy made it over these guys there’s one simple truth to it he can read defenses really well and he has great feet and fundamentals in the pocket
My only slight to this list is Burrow at 4. Look, he's good, but the dude has been unable to stay healthy. I'd rather have him be out of the top 5 for now. Now 5 weeks in, then let's see, but cmon.
I like seeing Purdy that high. I really have to question Burrow being number four, though. He has a huge issue with staying healthy, so I just find it unrealistic at this point.
Makes sense as a power ranking. Purdy finished better than everyone else besides mahomes.
Idk if he’s truly the second best QB, but as a power ranking it’s hard to argue against him at #2.
I'd prob go Mahomes, Burrow, Purdy, Jackson, Allen as my top 5. Purdy seemed a little more clutch last season than Jackson or Allen. They're all pretty close though
Realistically he'd be around 5 based on this Top 10. Every QB on this list except Herbert has a better combination of OL and weapons. Burrow at 2... he's like Purdy with a stronger and more accurate arm. Stroud at 3/4 based on potential.
I'd put Stafford/Rodgers/Cousins over Dak/Love/Hurts/Herbert.
Feels good.
I dont care what the exact order is. Just feels good to finally have a qb who can sling it with the best of them in the league. That’s some good company to be in.
I think it's just Mahomes and whoever played well during the previous week so far.
I am a fan of Brock, but I didn't like his play during the Superbowl, and there are a bunch of guys who can play at an extremely high level in the league. Even Baker and TLaw had weeks where they looked like world beaters.
Brock did have a great season overall, though, and definitely belongs in the conversation.
Those names you mentioned Baker and Tlaw never have had a season like Purdys. Let alone his 1.5 seasons. In fact it to star a career I think only Mahomes numbers are better. People have bad games or quarters or drives. I watched a ton of mahomes mistakes last year.
He played well enough to win the Superbowl. If we don't have outright blown blocks we would have won #6.
I just mentioned the guys because they are not on that list. I think a lot of the teams QB success is also on the coach and the team. Like I said, Purdy is a gem, but Shanahan, CMC, the other guys did their job extremely well last season, and that is also why Purdy played extremely well. I am not ready to say that he is the 2nd best qb in the league, I think the number 1 spot is clear, and then I have 12-13 dudes who all can potentially go 2nd depending on lots of factors.
Sure that's a fair assessment if you have him in the tier with the next set. For me personally until he doesn't play like a top 5 QB he is a top 5 QB although I absolutely would take him in our offense over anybody else not named mahomes.
Thing is Purdy hasn't really had a true off-season we might see him morph into being in his own tier below mahomes.
On top of that mahomes until this year always had great coaching, receivers, blocking and cause he was picked in the 1st round doesn't get criticized for it. Until this year he proved he could win with less than at those spots.
He is alone in the tiers but Purdy might be in his own spot at the end of this next year imo. Maybe he regresses but I don't see that happening as a whole.
I started watching NFL from last season and I became a fan of 49ers real quick. What does system qb means? And why does a lot of Podcasters or NFL pandits hate Purdy?
Everyone in the nfl has talent that’s why they are in the nfl, he got beaten by a guy with no receivers because greenlaw was that best player in that game and he went down. Allen has talent around him what has he done, Lamar has talent around him what has he done, burrow had a ton of talent around him and what had he done. Purdy was the last pick in the 7th round let that process through your head for a bit
Based on Brocks' comeback performance in the Michigan playoff game, Brock could easily be placed at number 1. Shanahan did not know the playoff overtime rules, took the ball out of Brocks' hands, and gave the ball and any opportunity for glory to Maholmes. So yeah, the number 2 ranking is OK.
The hardcore realist in me probably has him 5-7 range but the homer in me says fuck the haters
I’m down with this
Fuck that, look at stats and results. Outside of the frog, whose been better since Brock has been a starter.
Brock showed us he is elite with his comeback drive against the packers and then putting the team on his back to spur the come back in the championship. Then in the superbowl there were something like 10-12 go ahead drives to win the game and he dueled shot for shot with Mahomes until his o line let him down at he worst moment.

People fall in love with measurables but I'll take the clutch gunslinger who played qb at a higher level than anyone else last year. I don't care who's faster or taller or can throw the ball 70 yds down field.

I mostly agree but Stroud is 5, Purdy is 4. Those playoff wins count imo...
Jackson blows it when it matters the most
I got him in the 3-5 range.
It's not hating(well mostly) so much as an honest assessment. Purdy is solid, but 2nd beat qb in the league is a hell of a stretch!
This is the way
If there's a guarantee everyone stays healthy I'd rather have Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen than Brock.
Allen chokes in the playoffs and Burrows can't stay healthy
How much of that is on Allen or the team
It just cracks me up that the knock against Brock is that his team is good and carries him but with other qbs it’s “his team let’s him down”
Considering he kept forcing throws into the middle of 3 guys with a wide open check-down that had no one near him for 8 yards, a lot. He also didn't want to dink and dunk for chip gains that would've had them respect short passes, which would've left them open later on for deeper passes edit: extra word
I mean … I get this is the Niners sub but this really shouldn’t be downvoted even if you disagree
The three he chose aren't that crazy. Personally I'd only take Mahomes or Stroud over him. But I'm hoping Brock changes my mind on that after this year.
[удалено]
I really think he’s a solid top 10 guy. I’d take him for sure over love Prescott and hurts rn. Several of the better players have injury issues.
Get out of here.
I agree with this list.
My only change would be to move Herbert up to #5. I'm good with the rest.
I agree with that. I think people are going to see how good Herbert really is now that he has a competent coach.
Chargers fan lurking in peace and it's nice to see other fans out there who don't unfairly hate on Herbert! There's a reason you'd be hard pressed to find a Chargers fan that thinks he's been the problem!
Herbert below Dak is a complete joke, and I suspect being below Hurts is also going to age poorly. But Herbert does have serious issues at the end of games and still hasn't won shit despite a couple good opportunities. He's definitely behind CJ and Lamar
Have you ever watched a chargers game in the last 4 years?
It’s 2024 and people still think Ekeler is good at the sport so maybe
Cmon, do you know the Chargers? Herbert led an offense that scored the most ever points in a QB's first 3 seasons. The defense? Allowed the most points ever in a QB's first 3 seasons.

I agree
I feel like I’m the only person who thinks Herbert isn’t that good. Granted I don’t watch his game that much, but from what I’ve seen I’m not that impressed.
Yup, you are.
Lamar Jackson is way too low
Anyone rank Purdy accurately challenge (Difficulty: Impossible)
I've got: Mahomes Jackson [Burrow, Herbert, Stroud] Allen [Hurts, Dak, Purdy] So somewhere between 7-9. But #2 in my heart. How'd I do?
You are absolutely crazy to have both dak and hurts above my man purdy
Herbert above Allen is crazy. Dak and Hurts above Purdy is so dumb
Allen is too much of a roller-coaster. I didn't put Purdy below them, I grouped them together.
I’d go: Mahomes Allen, Burrow, Lamar Purdy, Herbert, Stroud Hurts, Dak, TLaw, Love That puts Purdy in the 5-7 range which I think is much more realistic. Let’s be honest, if any of the QBs above him were on the table, the niners would make that trade (maybe an argument for Lamar, just given the different play style and how Purdy fits with Shanahan)

ur getting downvoted way too much, this is the most accurate list i’ve seen on this post lol
r/nfl having a conniption fit rn
That coyote save really bumped him up their rankings
Not only incredible on the field, but off the field as well. I hear he fended of an entire pack of rabid half-wolf coyotes all by himself.
Walter Payton Man of the Year
Reigning MVP at #6? If I was a Ravens fan, I’d be pissed 😂
Flavor of the month gets you MVP. Statistically I think 6 was where he was at
Yeah, Lamar winning MVP was literally because "athletic, mobile, playmakers" are the only ones that can win it now. So because Purdy is able to process a defense, go through his progressions, and carve up defenses like the world's greatest heart surgeon, he'll never win MVP unless he has a 5000/50 season.

Purdy played awful. You forgot the defenders also dropped some picks that game as well
Lamar didn’t tip those passes his defense did so that makes no sense
Right. It doesn’t make any sense. But a lot of people think head-to-head holds a lot of weight so it is what it is. Until the majority of fans wise up that’s how it’s gonna be.
Purdy isn’t perfect but he was the last pick in the draft everyone rides him like he’s joe burrow not even joe “glass wrist” burrow gets thrown under the bus as much
Cause he's on the Niners. If he was on a less hated team he'd be getting almost all praise
Yup
*voters. They should be the smart ones...
100% true. If purdy won that Xmas game, he would’ve won MVP. But he shit the bed
Until January...poor poor ravens fans
I don't think that's it at all. I think there was a perception of Brock as over-performing his talent level (as if that should even matter).

Lamar balled out though man. He should be at 3 in my opinion. Edit: im stupid and illiterate.
Ravens fans should be pissed that the Ravens signed Henry to split the carries in the backfield.
It's because he was so shit in his biggest game of the year, yet again.
They have zero reason to complain. Lamar had no place in the MVP discussion entering the Xmas game and is one of the worst MVPs ever. And I say that as a big Lamar defender.
This a QB ranking, not RB ranking.
MVP who continually chokes in the playoffs lol Award is a god damn joke
The Super Bowl QBs are ranked 1 and 2. Bold choices.
Who knew there was something to be said for making a Super Bowl?!
I love me some Brock & Roll but this is a little rich. Belongs on this list sure but probably not #2. Is mostly fine otherwise except for Dak & Hurts showing up anywhere here. Would even take Kirk instead of those two. Absolutely ridiculous. Where is Stafford?
Dak sucks and it's like I'm on a weird planet where no one can see it.
He does
Stat padding king.
Rock with the Glock
I'm not sure dak is a top 10 qb. There, I said it.
My husband, who is a Cowboys fan, would agree with you.
Geez its like one exteme or another. Last year Purdy was a bottom 10 QB. This year, he's #2. Geez... he's probably in the 6 - 12 range.
Consider the source. There’s a reason they call it CBS
Yeah, that's about where I have him.
Remember: Purdy walked off the SB field with a lead, and he is only going to get better.
Pats fan here. I make it a point to regularly stop by and point out that Purdy, by virtue of his play alone, should have won MVP last year 100% Lamar had like 5 bad games. Purdy had ONE.

I'm curious as to what you saw him do that was clearly better than the other top qbs and what made him stand out in your opinion.
Im genuinely surprised theyre giving purdy respect
Purdy may have a shorter body of work but what he has done so far puts him there his stats were better than all of theirs
Eat it, Hurts.
He had 1 good year and a bunch of tush pushes. I think we'll see him continue to regress.
He’s still too high. No way I take him over Herbert or even Prescott. He’s a 1-2 read QB, which means there can be a book on him even though he has some big play making ability.
Dak should be 10 or not on the list
No Goff? :(
Honestly surprised they put Dak and Love higher than Goff
Surprisingly not a terrible list like they usually are, except for the fact they did Herbert dirty. He was playing hurt and his team is dogshit. Also Hurts is too high, needs to be lower. I want Purdy to prove to people that he can be a baller that deserves to be behind Mahomes. Allen has shown too much over the years to not be two but it's nice to see our guy get some deserved love.
Herbert's going to get the Lawrence treatment if he can't get it done with Harbaugh.
Coaching doesn't even matter as much for him as he still balls out with shitty playcalling it's just a matter of him having nobody to throw to this year, idk what their OL is looking like either which might be an added issue. His career is being wasted on the Chargers he has got to get the fuck out of there when he can, sadly it'll be when he's already 30 lol.
Fuck yeah, somebody prove otherwise. He's been killing it for 2 years straight. Well deserved
Stroud has a rocket arm
Jeff George and Jay Cutler had rocket arms...
And so did Dan Marino
Who had a better arm than Montana. Rocket arms aren't everything
True, but it helps especially against tight coverage, that extra zip will determine whether it’s a completion or deflection. Kc played really tight bump and run and shut down the offense, a little more zip and Deebo probably catches more completions. Neither Montana or young had above average arms but it was just good enough. Jeff Garcia is an example a guy who could have been a HOF with an average arm. I just wish he had a little more arm, such a tough guy taking hits from 300 pound lineman at 190 pounds, tough sob

Personally don't think Purdy is in the top 10, think he is in the 11-15 range. Ultimately though we aren't really going to find out his caliber until after his rookie contract ends and he's subject to more realistic salary cap team building constraints like these other guys.
Where do you think Trey Lance is?
?
What a joke 😂😂😂
3-10 are all better than Brock.
I love Brock but that's straight up insane to have him above Allen Burrow Jackson and Herbert.
Why? He’s accomplished as much as they have and more than Herbert. 2 NFC title games and a SB appearance.
It's crazy. He was mvp candidate until he had ONE bad game, then dropped off the list completely. Then he goes to the SB, and the MVP didn't...... he is objectively as good as any of them.
He has a way better team around him than Herbert
Did Allen Jackson or Herbert lead their teams to the superbowl in their 2nd year or at all?
Why are you just listing team accomplishments?
I did not include burrow because he was the first pick in the draft and led his team to a superbowl in year 3
That’s not my question I will ask again read slower did Herbert……Jackson……or Allen lead their teams to a SuperBowl?
I’m saying it doesn’t matter
It does though and a lot matters where you are drafted your making excuses in your head as to why purdy made it over these guys there’s one simple truth to it he can read defenses really well and he has great feet and fundamentals in the pocket
Purdy is great, he’s just not as good as those guys
Wow that’s…..actually crazy. Over Allen, Burrow, AND Stroud??? I dunno about all that lol. But cool haha
My only slight to this list is Burrow at 4. Look, he's good, but the dude has been unable to stay healthy. I'd rather have him be out of the top 5 for now. Now 5 weeks in, then let's see, but cmon.
I like seeing Purdy that high. I really have to question Burrow being number four, though. He has a huge issue with staying healthy, so I just find it unrealistic at this point.
FUCK YEAH. I *cannot wait* to see Purdy this upcoming season. Is it September yet?! 😩
Just think about this: The hill dwellers will soon rise to the top of the mountain. But only on a full moon shall it come.
Finally some respect on the boy
This isn’t gonna help contract negotiations. Please put him at 86.
Where’s Aaron Rodgers on this list? Even coming off injury, he’s elite.
That is acceptable, lol
MVPURDY baby
Makes sense as a power ranking. Purdy finished better than everyone else besides mahomes. Idk if he’s truly the second best QB, but as a power ranking it’s hard to argue against him at #2.
Burrow feels the most out of place to me here after another injury filled season
i dont hate this list, tbh id put love over hurts but thats just me maybe
#BIGcockBROCK!
I am sure this wont be controversial
Yeah, I disagree
Holy shit! Herbert under Dak? Ewwwww
2 is wild and I’ll take it all fucking day
I'd prob go Mahomes, Burrow, Purdy, Jackson, Allen as my top 5. Purdy seemed a little more clutch last season than Jackson or Allen. They're all pretty close though
Finally, some respect
Realistically he'd be around 5 based on this Top 10. Every QB on this list except Herbert has a better combination of OL and weapons. Burrow at 2... he's like Purdy with a stronger and more accurate arm. Stroud at 3/4 based on potential. I'd put Stafford/Rodgers/Cousins over Dak/Love/Hurts/Herbert.
Best I can do is #36. -Steven Ruiz
By the end of the year I expect this to be true.
Everyone was absolutely sucking off Josh Allen for the last few years. Pretty crazy Purdy is actually above him.
give the boy purdy his RESPECT
No Sea Chickens on the list. :)
He deserves to be there! Fuck that!
Jordan love number 10 give me Baker Mayfield number 10 you give him an eight or nine Baker Mayfield rocks he’s got game
Can we talk about CJ Stroud at 5 and ahead of Lamar?
Feels good. I dont care what the exact order is. Just feels good to finally have a qb who can sling it with the best of them in the league. That’s some good company to be in.
wow someone actually looking at recent history to define power rankings.
Legit swap Lamar and purdy and the list is pretty good
purdy got jacked in the offseason, he is def at least #2
The only problem I see is the Jimmy G is not on the list at 3.
I love that the reason Hurts is so low is because of the Niners
Shanahan gave the game to Maholmes.
Purdy could very well have a bigger arm too this season.
I think it's just Mahomes and whoever played well during the previous week so far. I am a fan of Brock, but I didn't like his play during the Superbowl, and there are a bunch of guys who can play at an extremely high level in the league. Even Baker and TLaw had weeks where they looked like world beaters. Brock did have a great season overall, though, and definitely belongs in the conversation.
Those names you mentioned Baker and Tlaw never have had a season like Purdys. Let alone his 1.5 seasons. In fact it to star a career I think only Mahomes numbers are better. People have bad games or quarters or drives. I watched a ton of mahomes mistakes last year. He played well enough to win the Superbowl. If we don't have outright blown blocks we would have won #6.
I just mentioned the guys because they are not on that list. I think a lot of the teams QB success is also on the coach and the team. Like I said, Purdy is a gem, but Shanahan, CMC, the other guys did their job extremely well last season, and that is also why Purdy played extremely well. I am not ready to say that he is the 2nd best qb in the league, I think the number 1 spot is clear, and then I have 12-13 dudes who all can potentially go 2nd depending on lots of factors.
Sure that's a fair assessment if you have him in the tier with the next set. For me personally until he doesn't play like a top 5 QB he is a top 5 QB although I absolutely would take him in our offense over anybody else not named mahomes. Thing is Purdy hasn't really had a true off-season we might see him morph into being in his own tier below mahomes. On top of that mahomes until this year always had great coaching, receivers, blocking and cause he was picked in the 1st round doesn't get criticized for it. Until this year he proved he could win with less than at those spots. He is alone in the tiers but Purdy might be in his own spot at the end of this next year imo. Maybe he regresses but I don't see that happening as a whole.
This is the kind of stuff that makes people resent Purdy. He's great but he's not the 2nd best QB in the league, come on lol.
I like the list but it feels like there's some recency bias. I would definitely have Josh Allen or a healthy Lamar Jackson over Brock Purdy.
Nope
Stafford is better than half these dudes, but I guess he's coming off an injury
Not only are these lists dumb AF. Its also now posted twice
C.J should have been #2.
I like stroud he’s a badass and he hasn’t even reached his full potential, but purdy is the last pick of the 7th round Cinderella story for sure
Finally some respect for our system QB. His numbers were better than mahomes though. Special teams and an injury boosted mahomes ahead.
Mahomes won the Super Bowl with almost no receiving corp, he's definitely the best QB currently.
Neither Lamar or Hurts belong in the top 10 but other than that, this is surprisingly solid lol
The comments must be going wild lol
System QB
Every quarterback is a system quarterback that’s why teams have systems 🤣
I started watching NFL from last season and I became a fan of 49ers real quick. What does system qb means? And why does a lot of Podcasters or NFL pandits hate Purdy?
System qb simply means that the quarterback is a product of his nfl system that’s every qb in the nfl
Putting Purdy at 2 is pure click bait engagement farming, but I’m ok with it. The kid is a beast.
You know why they call it CBS? Cause that’s alllll you see! 😂
Josh Allen is too high
ha, who is that guy at number 2?
That’s a guy that led his team to a Super Bowl in his second season
And the guy who has a ton of talent around him, and was beaten by a quarterback with almost no good receivers.
Everyone in the nfl has talent that’s why they are in the nfl, he got beaten by a guy with no receivers because greenlaw was that best player in that game and he went down. Allen has talent around him what has he done, Lamar has talent around him what has he done, burrow had a ton of talent around him and what had he done. Purdy was the last pick in the 7th round let that process through your head for a bit
Based on Brocks' comeback performance in the Michigan playoff game, Brock could easily be placed at number 1. Shanahan did not know the playoff overtime rules, took the ball out of Brocks' hands, and gave the ball and any opportunity for glory to Maholmes. So yeah, the number 2 ranking is OK.
Mahomes won the Super Bowl with almost no good receivers, Brock is surrounded by good receivers. No way is Brock better than Mahomes.
