Burrow and Purdy are the best chances to be back. I would not call Purdy mediocre. His season and stats and even how well he has played in the playoffs do not suggest that. Those 2 have the best chance to be back. Others on the list have some sub par guys in there. No doubt about it. Goff has a little chance. But the two I said have the best chance.
We shall see. I think Brock is good too but he needs to keep getting better. Can't let this opportunity go to waste while he still has the window with this teams roster.
Yes but I think he WILL GET BETTER. People forget he is really a 1.5 year player. Media and fans talk about him like he's a 10 year veteran. With Drew Brees he was good but nowhere near the 5,000 yard plus guy until much later. Living here in San Diego I saw a lot of his early career. You could see good but you would not predict 5,000 yards +. Remember he is only a sliver more experienced than CJ Stroud. 1.0 year player for CJ and 1.5 for Purdy.
I've been watching Brock for the past 6 years. Admittedly, I didn't think he would ever be this good. I hope he doesn't plateau though. Physically I'm not sure he can get much better to compete with the special attributes of Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, etc. the NFL is fickle and a hard place to win.
Physically Brees was not that either. He got mentally better. Better at processing, reads and progressions, timing and anticipation, get the ball out quick, make the right decision, excellent mechanics and accuracy. All those were good for Brees but got even BETTER.
Ya, I like your enthusiasm but I think we should pump the breaks on the Brees comparisons. He's only 1.5 years in like you said. I think he has some really ridiculous pressure being put on him unjustly from both sides of the coin right now. The nay sayers are all over him and his fans are putting huge expectations on him. Hopefully he and Shanahan stay together for a while. I think they're the right combination.
He would have had 4,500 + and say 34 TD's this year. Had they played him the last game. He rested because they had the #1 seed wrapped up. Looks fantastic for a 2nd year player. To 11 interceptions. Nothing wrong with that and it would be ahead of Brees at that stage in his career.
I firmly believe that Purdy would have won the MVP if he didn’t play for the Niners. If he had put up the same numbers in Lions’ uniform, he would’ve been the MVP not undeserving Jackson.
There are a lot of doubts and double standards around him. I personally think very unfairly so. But he could have won it this year. It was the Ravens game that tanked him. Gave the doubters a reason to go against him. Which they already wanted and were looking for. Because of their biases. But the 4 interceptions on Christmas was too much to overcome. Many were tipped passes and the Ravens defense is great. Never less the blame was put on Brock. Rather than full body of work it became about 1 game on Christmas. The narrative they were looking for.
Pretty big post game compliments from KC DC Spagnuolo, pertaining to Brock.
The guy was just in the most watched television event in history and did well. He led three scoring drives to end the game. Clearly not shrinking from the moment. Obviously he can handle pressure.
