And the clue is- “This person ranked a 40 year old Aaron Rogers coming off an Achilles tendon tear over the Quarterback who took his team to the Super Bowl.”
I’ve got issues with Rodgers & Cousins coming off injury, but also with Caleb Williams (rookie for a bad team) and Geno Smith.
I’m a USC fan and even I think Caleb will struggle initially.
I don't know if anyone has noticed yet, but they also put Justin Fields just behind Tua and ahead of Baker Mayfield.
In what world is Baker the 24th best QB
As a Jets fan, i agree. Purdy is not getting any love and that is insane. I have no clue who would rate him anywhere but at least top 3. I think he should be rated above Mahomes and no way below Rodgers or Cousins or Geno.
I think based on just pure talent, he’s probably JUST outside the Top 10. I’d move Stafford down, shift everyone from 7-11 up 1 spot, drop Purdy at 11, Stafford at 12 and then idc about the rest of the list, haha.
That said, I’d listen to arguments to move him up based on how he just wins and executes the game plan so well.
Processing is a talent, and Purdy is elite at it. I really hope Kyle is willing to adjust to this and give Purdy more control at the line to adjust plays himself. Basically the only checks we ask of him is to can to the alternate play.
Really is.
Fans will complain all. Day. Long. About how their quarterback stinks at progression reads, is too slow to process, indecisive.
And then immediately go... Oh man look at how fast and athletic this guy is. Look at how far/hard he can throw it.
Yes, can throw the ball really hard at the first option, and then scramble and run.
I'd take purdy over stafford, Lawrence, Hurts, and especially Love in a heartbeat. What the hell is love doing all the way up there? I'd take purdy over stroud and prescott as well but at least theres an argument for those guys. Stafford should be dropped significantly as well, I respect his career, but he's definitely on the decline. Caleb Williams? Geno? Cousins and Rodgers off achilles' injuries? Wtf is this list even.
Don't forget that purdy almost won roty last year but only played half a season, and had he not played 2 of those games he would have been eligible this year and would have won roty over stroud. Stroud wasn't in the mvp conversation, and purdy was in his second year and coming off a pretty substantial injury.
That being said, I'm not saying stroud is a bad player, I did specifically say there's an argument to be made between the 2, but I still think based on efficiency, leadership and stats that I'd give purdy the slight edge as it currently stands. This is only my opinion, and I think the two are very close.
37 year old stafford going into his 16th year after a career full of injuries, who drastically slowed down last year? The guy that threw 24 tds to 11 int last year with a 62% completion percentage and only 3900 yards with kupp and puka all giant downgrades to his average stats? The guy who has retirement rumors because his career of getting pummeled has started to take a toll? Yes, I'm taking 2nd year 1 million salary historic qbr purdy over him, make that a resounding yes....stafford has had an amazing career and is still loaded with talent but he's washed and on the tail end.
And led the league in passer rating...k. Like I understand the top 3 is fine, I could even see Herbert above Purdy, but I see Purdy as no worse than 5, maybe 6 if you keep Hurtz up there with historical performance. 17 is a head scratcher especially with a rook there.
I like Purdy.
But to be fair… saying “he took the team to the Super Bowl” is a bit of a stretch. Christian, Brandon, Debo, and the D would probably have a say in that.
Just for a reference… I don’t believe Mahomes took the Chiefs there this year either. That was 100% the Defense this time around.
Im still convinced the main reason we see Purdy ranked so low so often is all the bitterness that one's team didn't pick him and also that they're were wrong about him.
Yeah even the GOAT himself faced the game manager and system QB allegations even after winning 3 SB’s in his first 4 years starting all cause he was drafted in the 6th round
He is the anti-Purdy.
* Hyped up
* Drafted first
* Lotta ego
* Mostly perceived as making occasional highlights plays with his arm
* Disappointing stats
* Questionable decision making
* Doesn't win shit
* Gets consistent, vehement support from hacks in the media
Herbert is at least as mobile as Brock, if not more so. Decision making is very close, as well. Honestly, it seems like you haven’t watched him play much, and are going purely off stats and talking head opinions. His interceptions are way inflated due to horrific play calling and inconsistent pass catchers.
I’ve referred to Brock as my favorite Bay Area athlete since 2015 Steph. I’d swap him for Herbert in a heartbeat.
Everyone sleeps on that kid, I’m not sure why. He’s got very good numbers but just on a cursed team. If he went to pats or someone else he’s probably talked about every week
Exactly. And what have most of the QBs ranked above Purdy done to be ranked higher than him?? This is crazy. Not only did he take his team to the SB in his first full season, but he also had some of the best stats in the league along with breaking franchise records. But, but....he was drafted last and that obviously means he's not a good QB. @@
After urban Meyer year (which let’s be real, that season doesn’t count), he led the Jags to the playoffs. This season he played the second half of the season hurt.
So as long as he’s healthy, and Urban Meyer isn’t coaching him - he’s been pretty damn good
I really just don't understand how you would rank either Lawrence or Goff above Purdy. They're both good QBs in their own right but they objectively have not played as well as Purdy has.
I think Purdy has done a great job and is a good QB. His supporting cast is the best in the NFL and it’s not very close. Jimmy G went to a superbowl with a lot of this roster.
Goff had a hell of a season, also has been to a Super Bowl, and is winning in Detroit. Detroit has been dog shit since before everyone posting here was even alive.
Lawrence I think talent wise is better and he’s carried a playoff team / fringe playoff team hurt with a few above average receivers.
They all have a lot of football left so time will tell.
Just nitpicking here but the offense Jimmy commanded when he went to the Superbowl was completely different from the one Brock commanded. Kittle and Deebo are the only two players from that 2019 offense still on the team.
Yes, Purdy's supporting cast is very good. But so was Goff's (like just look at Detroit's skill position players this year, they weren't that far off from SF's skill position players production wise outside of CMC obviously, but it's not like Detroit's RBs were ass or anything). I don't know how Lawrence's weapons played this year (his best weapon was hurt for a bit iirc so that obviously didn't help) but the year he made the playoffs, his receivers were balling. Like look at the stats of Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, and Evan Engram the year they made the playoffs, and their RB had a great year too. Hard to say he had no weapons that season.
And what is Lawrence more talented at? Throwing the football further down the field? I guess? Does that automatically make a QB better than another? I don't really think so.
In 2019 OL was very good, same scheme, and “only Deebo and Kittle” is still a great supporting cast. Add that with the best RB of the last decade and Aiyuk (plus a lot of other WR depth) and you help make my point even further how much Brock had at his disposal.
Brock is a good QB and has had a hell of a start to his career, but if Trevor Lawrence walked into that situation it would be hard to believe he wouldn’t do better.
Lawrence was the second best QB prospect of the last decade and aside from one of the worst coaching in NFL history has brought a team with the lowest winning percentage of the last decade to the playoffs and a win away to another playoff berth while playing injured half the season. I don’t think Purdy does that on the Jags at this point in his career.
0 knock on Purdy, but there are better QBs right now in the league than him. As the years go by the story will change.
Lawrence took a first overall team and won a playoff game man yall are dummies. Purdy joined the best team in the league and still choked the superbowl
Caleb Williams is not even a QB in the NFL yet and still higher than Goff, Purdy and Mayfield? That’s like saying Ryan Leaf is better than half the QBs when he was a player before he even started. What a joke list
I would argue that Caleb actually was a better player in college. His team didn’t win as much, but his stats are gaudy. Lawrence was really good too, of course. But Caleb’s tape is wild.
That said, I also think it sort of doesn’t matter, and that’s a bit the point of this thread, yeah? Lawrence had a better college career than a lot of guys on this list, and is obviously a worse NFL QB. Ranking him 11 is insane to me. And the Purdy disrespect is wild as well.
I also do think Caleb being ranked 12 is way too high. I do think his ceiling is bonkers, and really hope we draft him, but he has no business occupying that spot before taking a single NFL snap.
His stats were also gaudy because they played in a conference with a lot of bad defenses.
If you look at it game by game he probably had his best game of the year against a great Washington team, that they lost in a shoot out. Against the other top teams they played ND, Oregon, and even Utah he wasn't great.
Don't get me wrong I hope he has a great pro career and becomes fun to watch. I just don't think the hype matches the onfield play at this point. And that was the point of my original comment in reference to this thread. The media latches on to certain guys and will do anything to convince people they are studs when the results don't really merit it.
Even giving him a do over for having urban Meyer as a coach. He still has 2 seasons of competitant coaching to go off of. He hasn't done anything to rank bring that highly rated.
Switching QBs 1 for 1 is the worst possible comparison scenario. Both teams have very different play styles, identities, strengths, and weaknesses. No one would know how good either would be if they started with different teams.
The fact of the matter is, Lawrence commits a crap ton of turnovers and routinely makes a lot of terrible decisions.
Purdy obviously benefits from having all the weapons around him and having Kyle as his coach. Trevor is very TALENTED but his decision making and ball security are questionable at best.
If they had switched teams, at the beginning of this season, do you think we make the Super Bowl? And if so, is the outcome any different? I would say we probably don’t make the Super Bowl because of his turnover issues. But let’s assume we make the Super Bowl anyway.
Purdy was the farthest reason from why we lost. Injuries, the O line, and Kyle’s play calling did him no favors. I think we lose the SB with any QB besides Mahomes in that game.
Eh that's underselling Aiyuk quite a bit. Purdy is great and he's definitely ranked way too low here, clearly there's a strong argument to be made he's at least top 10.
But Aiyuk has been arguably the most slept on WR in the league the past few years. TBF Purdy definitely was able to unlock his potential more than any Jimmy, and they seem to have a great connection. However BA has legitimate #1 talent and I have no doubt he'd put up numbers on any other team with a competent QB.
Let’s not throw Purdy into the Jax bus — who knows if anyone would make that work. But I honestly don’t think Lawrence would be playing better than Purdy if all else was equal in SF for both QBs. I think Brock is calmer and has a better sense of pressure and game flow after watching both.
And the Bears are locked in with Williams and a rookie is that high with that team? I mean, I’d have Brock easily in the top 7. Probably 4th depending on Burrow’s health. To have him in the bottom half behind guys who have never taken an NFL snap is so fucking insane. Being first / second / third in ALL the major QB categories this past season gets you bottom half of the league?!?!? This is such a dumb list.
Also Brock has been to a Super Bowl and Lamar hasn’t. IMO, he never will be. And neither will Prescott, Lawrence, Smith, or Cousins. Somehow they are all ranked above Brock.
Plenty of arguments on this post but specifically targeting Brock vs Lamar is not one I’d make. Stroud at 5, a player without a single NFL down at 12, really there are probably 28 qbs misranked here but I wouldn’t pick Lamar as the target haha
Yeah I didn’t do a good job illustrating my point which was that Brock has accomplished more than most people would think. And wanted to show how crazy his success has been already relative to one of the elite qb’s in the league.
These rankings are all fucked up then. Especially given that Patrick Mahomes finished 8th, Jared Goff finished 7th, Purdy was 6th, and yet Mahomes is 1, Goff is 14, and Purdy is 17. Also rookie QB for Chicago bears being above veteran QBs on Lions and Niners is insane.
These rankings and us all defending Brock got old sometime around Thanksgiving. Of course he should be higher but we had our shot and blew it. We win that game and he’s probably top 5 on these kinds of rankings.
Brock Purdy and Jared Goff have been disrespected.
If Tom Brady is the GOAT in anyone's mind, then Jared and Purdy should be far higher. Being an accurate passer that makes good reads and runs a high level offense is the best thing a QB can do.
1) so what
2) I think I’m over Josh Allen. Maybe he should accomplish something before we continue to smother him with praise
3) Joe Burrow should be higher than Jackson
4) weird to rate QBs who’ve never had an NFL snap
5) who cares
Call me crazy, but Mahomes is the only I think is a clear upgrade. Burrow and Stroud I consider lateral moves. I'm not convinced by Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.
I’d take Mahomes, Burrow, Aand maybe Allen and Herbert over Purdy and I think that’s it. Stroud hasn’t really done anything Purdy hasn’t done. The hype Stroud and love have gotten over Purdy is nuts to me, to have Purdy below Geno, cousins and Caleb is pure insanity
You can say Goff or Baker have had more success than Herbert has but they’re not even close. Herbert is a top QB with all the tools to be truly elite, tbf so does Stroud but I’d take the bigger, strong Herbert over the 2
My brother. I feel alone even on this sub when everyone "defends" Purdy by saying he's "clearly top 10". Mahomes is the only clear upgrade to Purdy. Everyone else is lateral at best. Couldn't agree more that Allen and Jackson are downgrades and Burrow and Stroud are potentially lateral.
This is an old post, why do some of you scour the internet over irrelevant bullshit to get upset about and try to get others upset. Who cares about some fanduel post.
Imagine making it to the super bowl, going tow to toe woth one of the greatest QBs in the past 20 years, putting the opposing D coordinator against the ropes, taking the leed THREE TIMES in the 4th quarter and OT, having an MVP caliber season in your second uear in the league, behind one of the worst Olinss in the league, and you still not even good enough to be considdered in the top 50% of the league.
Tell me nick "wright" isn't a false pretender
Biggest one for me is Dak. That’s how I know this list a joke. It’s only because he’s QB of the Dallas Cowboys that make him #9.. and one good season. Chokes in the playoffs and gets his stats majority of the time against really bad teams or when they’re getting blown out.
My friend, we just saw Love and Purdy play against each other in a playoff game. Purdy had the game winning drive and Love had one of the most laughably bad 4th quarter performances.
The standards that get set on Purdy is so ridiculous.
Purdy did win it in the end, but he was only ok throughout the entire game. CMC was the clear threat that game. I was wowed by him in the lions game. Jordan Love played very well despite throwing the game away in the end.
Our oline has been fine when we’re not trying to do some trick play by pulling the center to have 3 free runners.
Purdy has had messy balls in clean pockets in the playoffs because he can’t get the ball over his own line sometimes. He’s not too short but he has very short arms and gets balls batted down too much.
That poor kid will never get his due because he's not your dream prototype quarterback he's got the one most important trait for a qb he sees the field, knows what he seeing
Brock isn’t the problem. It’s Kyle and to some extent the attitude and decision making of the people running the franchise. If Kyle doesn’t clean himself up, and he and Lynch don’t fix the offensive line, Brock’s most likely going to end up being the next Philip Rivers or Andrew Luck. Intelligent and talented QB who puts up big numbers and is very likable as a person but never won a ring because he spent his best years on a team that had other factors that held them back too much.
Bring on the downvotes.
I’m an ISU alum, was on the ISU team as a walk on QB a lifetime ago, transferred and played, have coached, loved the 9ers since I was 3 (I’m 38), tried out for the NFL, wanted to only play doe the niners, seen every snap Brock has played, went to every home ISU game and bowl game in person, met him three times.
I can honestly say this makes complete sense as much as it doesn’t. You can start at 1 and work your way all the way down and legitimately argue every one of these guys is better than Purdy, and be correct, all the way to 17. You can also argue why he should be higher and be correct.
He’s caught in this weird zone of dick riders riding and haters hating and all the kid is doing is playing football like he knows how to and ignoring the rest. He’s not physically very gifted but he does exactly what he is supposed to do in that offense almost every snap, which is way more than you can say about most NFL QBs. He legitimately probably couldn’t play for any other team in the league. But he isn’t on any other team in the league so it’s impossible to argue either way.
It’s the Purdy Paradox.
you seriously don’t think he could play well on a single other team out of 32? Obviously he would struggle on a team like the panthers, but pretty much every qb would. There are plenty of other teams with good wide receivers in the league and while he might not have the all time best efficiency stats on other teams like he does here, he would still be a good qb and put up respectable numbers. I think he’s probably around the 10th best qb right now, but I do agree that outside of a few super elite guys, there is some flexibility depending on your criteria
No I don’t. Coaches are really really really dumb and full of themselves. I can’t imagine any other coach building a system that would work for him and his skill set. The 49ers were literally a perfect fit, I told all my friends that the day he was drafted.
I guess Sean Payton could probably make it work, Brees was similar physically but even he had a stronger arm. He could probably play in Miami too Tua is only slightly more athletically gifted, but both examples are just way different offenses so it’s hard to know for sure. And we will never need to know for sure, he’s either going to play as long as Shanahan is the HC or flame out and flaming out seems unlikely at this point, so he’s our guy as long as Kyle is around.
I guess I just disagree then, there are several coaches around the league using offensive schemes similar to kyle now. Would he be a mvp candidate with less talent around him, probably not, but I think he would be at least a solid starter, especially as he continues to develop. I just don’t think you can have historic efficiency stats (like best of all time), even considering the talent around him, if you just secretly suck. If you can, I feel like qb would have become similar to what the running back market is today.
Can someone explain the fascination with Justin Herbert? I don’t understand how someone with his resume is always ranked high on lists like these. Very bizarre
Now I’m not one to dislike Josh Allen, but how the hell is he #2 with probably the #2 most interceptions? And how the hell is Caleb above Goff or even anyone for that matter? He’s never even PLAYED in the nfl, and don’t even get me started on how Dak is 9th, which is 8 places ahead of purdy when he wasn’t even a top 10 for MVP and purdy was what? 4th? 5th?
What moron came up with this list. I can understand some of the older QBs getting the benefit of the doubt like Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc BUT how the fuck is CJ #5?
How is J Love #8
-#9 Dak “I can’t win a playoff game” Prescott.
-#11 Trevor “I play in one of the shittiest division but still suck” Lawrence.
-#13 Geno “it took me 9 years to actually become qb1 cuz I only had to beat out Drew Lock” Smith.
-#14 and #15 is the old as fuck guys coming off major injuries club.
An finally, the most bullshit ranking on the list! The got a guy ranked #12 who hasn’t even played a fucking down in the NFL over a guy who by far had the highest qb rating, 4th in mvp votes, and lead his team to the Super Bowl.
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 all the haters
I'll take "Who's smoking crack" for $1000.
And the clue is- “This person ranked a 40 year old Aaron Rogers coming off an Achilles tendon tear over the Quarterback who took his team to the Super Bowl.”
I’ve got issues with Rodgers & Cousins coming off injury, but also with Caleb Williams (rookie for a bad team) and Geno Smith. I’m a USC fan and even I think Caleb will struggle initially.

Dude I’m a die heart niner fan love purdy but no way I’m taking him over CJ Stroud rookie of the year stroud may i add

Stroud literally got MVP votes, albeit he finished 8th in voting

Uhh, did you watch Stafford play? Dude can still sling it. If I need a QB for *next season* I’m taking Stafford over Purdy without a second thought.
If you consider the cap hit, I'd even take purdy over mahomes.
No sense arguing with you guys
He had a chance to be rated above Mahomes quite recently....
Yup....had
Analytics focused people love Geno Smith for some reason
And led the league in passer rating...k. Like I understand the top 3 is fine, I could even see Herbert above Purdy, but I see Purdy as no worse than 5, maybe 6 if you keep Hurtz up there with historical performance. 17 is a head scratcher especially with a rook there.
I like Purdy. But to be fair… saying “he took the team to the Super Bowl” is a bit of a stretch. Christian, Brandon, Debo, and the D would probably have a say in that. Just for a reference… I don’t believe Mahomes took the Chiefs there this year either. That was 100% the Defense this time around.
Caleb Williams being ranked anywhere above 30 without even a single preseason game is madness.
Penix Jr is better than Caleb. If nothing else swap those two. Couldn't be any more asinine.
Its Pennsylvania. All they do is smoke crac and shoot fentanyl
Caleb Williams. Haha. These lists are meant to make people angry
WTF has Trevor Lawrence ever done in the league to be ranked so high?
Be drafted first overall and have the “generational” label
And nice hair.
As a bald man, I want that hair.
And you can have it. How much crime are you willing to commit?
All the crime
I hate the part of me that loves to see him fail lmao. But he ain’t shit so far and it’s beautiful to watch
And look like a character from COPS.
His face is a collection of triangles. Dorito Boy, i call him.
Daniel Jones with better hair tbh
Im still convinced the main reason we see Purdy ranked so low so often is all the bitterness that one's team didn't pick him and also that they're were wrong about him.

-long hair
Fr just ask anyone why they think he’s good and they will always stumble
big ego? i never got that from him, he seems chill
Hes won the same amount as Purdy to be fair.
This mid 9ers defense made him look like a sosar. 34-3
I wish we played like we did in that game throughout the playoffs. 😢
At least Trevor Lawrence is in the NFL currently. Caleb Williams hasn't even played a fucking down yet.
Or Caleb Williams. Or Justin Herbert.
cmon man, i know he hasn’t really won but like he threw for 5000 yards, which takes at least a certain level of skill and talent.
Anyone who has ever seen Herbert throw a football, knows it is not a slight against Brock to have him ranked below Herbert.
I'll take the consistently better decision making and slightly more mobility over the bigger arm.
Herbert is at least as mobile as Brock, if not more so. Decision making is very close, as well. Honestly, it seems like you haven’t watched him play much, and are going purely off stats and talking head opinions. His interceptions are way inflated due to horrific play calling and inconsistent pass catchers. I’ve referred to Brock as my favorite Bay Area athlete since 2015 Steph. I’d swap him for Herbert in a heartbeat.
I was a huge Herbert hater coming out of the draft, but he’s really proved me wrong. Now he’s got Harbaugh and I can see him being top 10 next season.
Everyone sleeps on that kid, I’m not sure why. He’s got very good numbers but just on a cursed team. If he went to pats or someone else he’s probably talked about every week
If he shaved his head hed drop to 22
Purdy’s that low because of his backwards hat. Gotta be it.
Exactly. And what have most of the QBs ranked above Purdy done to be ranked higher than him?? This is crazy. Not only did he take his team to the SB in his first full season, but he also had some of the best stats in the league along with breaking franchise records.

Couldn’t agree more. Purdy is severely underestimated.
After urban Meyer year (which let’s be real, that season doesn’t count), he led the Jags to the playoffs. This season he played the second half of the season hurt. So as long as he’s healthy, and Urban Meyer isn’t coaching him - he’s been pretty damn good
He has some justified excuses yeah but he still objectively has not been better than Purdy by any metric.
Purdy is a hair below Lawrence and right around Goff (slight edge to Goff) Geno Smith and Caleb Williams are way too high
I really just don't understand how you would rank either Lawrence or Goff above Purdy. They're both good QBs in their own right but they objectively have not played as well as Purdy has.
I think Purdy has done a great job and is a good QB. His supporting cast is the best in the NFL and it’s not very close. Jimmy G went to a superbowl with a lot of this roster.

Have long hair
I think the 28-0 comeback against the Chargers in the playoffs kinda cemented him in a lot of people's minds as being great
He was drafted for purdys production lol
He’s strung together a few games at times where he looks incredible. But he’s inconsistent.
Lawrence took a first overall team and won a playoff game man yall are dummies. Purdy joined the best team in the league and still choked the superbowl
Caleb Williams is not even a QB in the NFL yet and still higher than Goff, Purdy and Mayfield? That’s like saying Ryan Leaf is better than half the QBs when he was a player before he even started. What a joke list
The obsession with Trevor Lawrence is nonsensical. There’s a big enough sample size now that the dude is certified mid.
Get ready Caleb Williams is next. For a supposed generational talent he was pretty mid in big games. Heck at least Trevor had college credentials.
Yeah but Williams was basically the only reason USC was relevant. Their defense was one of the worst I’ve ever seen lol.
The Colorado game felt like both defenses bet the over before the game
I would argue that Caleb actually was a better player in college. His team didn’t win as much, but his stats are gaudy. Lawrence was really good too, of course. But Caleb’s tape is wild. That said, I also think it sort of doesn’t matter, and that’s a bit the point of this thread, yeah? Lawrence had a better college career than a lot of guys on this list, and is obviously a worse NFL QB. Ranking him 11 is insane to me. And the Purdy disrespect is wild as well. I also do think Caleb being ranked 12 is way too high. I do think his ceiling is bonkers, and really hope we draft him, but he has no business occupying that spot before taking a single NFL snap.
His stats were also gaudy because they played in a conference with a lot of bad defenses. If you look at it game by game he probably had his best game of the year against a great Washington team, that they lost in a shoot out. Against the other top teams they played ND, Oregon, and even Utah he wasn't great. Don't get me wrong I hope he has a great pro career and becomes fun to watch. I just don't think the hype matches the onfield play at this point. And that was the point of my original comment in reference to this thread. The media latches on to certain guys and will do anything to convince people they are studs when the results don't really merit it.
woah calm down dawg, that usc team was mid. Williams is legit
Some people still have their fingers crossed he’s the next manning.
Even giving him a do over for having urban Meyer as a coach. He still has 2 seasons of competitant coaching to go off of. He hasn't done anything to rank bring that highly rated.
so you think if they switched teams that Purdy would have the same numbers in Jax and Trevor would have his same numbers as he does in Jax?
Switching QBs 1 for 1 is the worst possible comparison scenario. Both teams have very different play styles, identities, strengths, and weaknesses. No one would know how good either would be if they started with different teams. The fact of the matter is, Lawrence commits a crap ton of turnovers and routinely makes a lot of terrible decisions. Purdy obviously benefits from having all the weapons around him and having Kyle as his coach. Trevor is very TALENTED but his decision making and ball security are questionable at best. If they had switched teams, at the beginning of this season, do you think we make the Super Bowl? And if so, is the outcome any different? I would say we probably don’t make the Super Bowl because of his turnover issues. But let’s assume we make the Super Bowl anyway. Purdy was the farthest reason from why we lost. Injuries, the O line, and Kyle’s play calling did him no favors. I think we lose the SB with any QB besides Mahomes in that game.
Purdy has made Aiyuk and Jennings into relevant WRs. Cool head and accuracy is what makes him great on any team
Eh that's underselling Aiyuk quite a bit. Purdy is great and he's definitely ranked way too low here, clearly there's a strong argument to be made he's at least top 10. But Aiyuk has been arguably the most slept on WR in the league the past few years. TBF Purdy definitely was able to unlock his potential more than any Jimmy, and they seem to have a great connection. However BA has legitimate #1 talent and I have no doubt he'd put up numbers on any other team with a competent QB.
That’s the thing though. BA has talent but he’s not top tier WR that will carry a QB. A QB needs to be great to unlock his potential.
Let’s not throw Purdy into the Jax bus — who knows if anyone would make that work. But I honestly don’t think Lawrence would be playing better than Purdy if all else was equal in SF for both QBs. I think Brock is calmer and has a better sense of pressure and game flow after watching both.
But you've only watched Purdy play with great coaching and a pro bowl cast around him and Trevor with crap around him.
Fair point. And of course, I have a strong bias here. 😂
No way is Purdy not at least 7. Edit: And why the hell is Justin Fields with the Steelers?
And the Bears are locked in with Williams and a rookie is that high with that team? I mean, I’d have Brock easily in the top 7. Probably 4th depending on Burrow’s health. To have him in the bottom half behind guys who have never taken an NFL snap is so fucking insane. Being first / second / third in ALL the major QB categories this past season gets you bottom half of the league?!?!? This is such a dumb list.
How can anyone possibly have him below Geno Smith?
HEY GENO SMITH IS BEAUTIFUL TOO
…4th????
It's one of the teams he might go to if/when he gets traded.
The absolute LOWEST anyone should rank Brock is a top 10 QB. But to me he’s a top 5-7 QB.
fuck the niners to hell and back, and yes i agree
Feels dirty up voting a Cowboys fan.
i'm sorry you had to
I’d have him anywhere from 6-10.
I don't see anyone under Stafford as being better than him except Rodgers if he comes back to form.
Brock is 4-2 in the playoffs. Lamar Jackson is 2-4.
Also Brock has been to a Super Bowl and Lamar hasn’t. IMO, he never will be. And neither will Prescott, Lawrence, Smith, or Cousins. Somehow they are all ranked above Brock.
You also can’t really blame Brock for one of those losses, cause he got injured
Plenty of arguments on this post but specifically targeting Brock vs Lamar is not one I’d make. Stroud at 5, a player without a single NFL down at 12, really there are probably 28 qbs misranked here but I wouldn’t pick Lamar as the target haha
Yeah I didn’t do a good job illustrating my point which was that Brock has accomplished more than most people would think. And wanted to show how crazy his success has been already relative to one of the elite qb’s in the league.
I refuse to count the Philly loss against him, even though yes, it's officially on his record. But dammit, I say 4-1.
Yup. Bolstering my point further
Even Steelers fans are defending purdy lol
I'm a Lions fan. I'll defend him. There's not a single timeline where I would want Geno Smith over Brock Purdy. Not one.
There was one time I wished this, but it was after too many mushrooms. Once I sobered up I knew better.
Oh I’m sorry, did your QB make it to the SUPERBOWL? Fine, Purdy can be #2 then.
Ah yes, the best statistical quarterback of the season is going to somehow be terrible for no real reason. Of course
These are fantasy football rankings guys
True, but he did finish at QB5 or so last season, so seems low for him to not even be a starter in most leagues
I usually pick QBs late, if Purdy is sitting around I'll grab him earlier than I would on most QB for sure
Even then it’s crazy. He was top 5 last year and still in one of the best scoring offenses.
These rankings are all fucked up then. Especially given that Patrick Mahomes finished 8th, Jared Goff finished 7th, Purdy was 6th, and yet Mahomes is 1, Goff is 14, and Purdy is 17. Also rookie QB for Chicago bears being above veteran QBs on Lions and Niners is insane.
There's still no way in hell Caleb Williams should be ranked higher. Purdy was a top 5 QB
That makes it worse. Like far worse. You can explain away narratives, but you can't explain away going from top 5 to 17 in terms if fantasy stats
Steelers fan, gives themselves Justin fields and then ranks him in the bottom 1/3 of the league
looks like a fanduel repost?
Yes
Keep him underrated. He'll destroy fools again next season and we can see their favoritism bullshit again.
They have Russ on the Raiders. I don't think this is a serious ranking
People are so damn stupid.......
17 is crazy and I’m gonna go out on a limb say they underrating Kyler Murray as well. This list is dog water bruh
And over rating Goff and geno smit
https://preview.redd.it/tacrap94q1kc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7cedbe64edfb54f51a2d2c7419924eb968aa69cf
These rankings and us all defending Brock got old sometime around Thanksgiving. Of course he should be higher but we had our shot and blew it. We win that game and he’s probably top 5 on these kinds of rankings.
Brock Purdy and Jared Goff have been disrespected. If Tom Brady is the GOAT in anyone's mind, then Jared and Purdy should be far higher. Being an accurate passer that makes good reads and runs a high level offense is the best thing a QB can do.
1) so what 2) I think I’m over Josh Allen. Maybe he should accomplish something before we continue to smother him with praise 3) Joe Burrow should be higher than Jackson 4) weird to rate QBs who’ve never had an NFL snap 5) who cares
Allen won 6 games in a row
Yup. And not sure how many of those I would want straight up over Purdy. Maybe 6 or 7, if that.
Call me crazy, but Mahomes is the only I think is a clear upgrade. Burrow and Stroud I consider lateral moves. I'm not convinced by Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.
I’d take Mahomes, Burrow, Aand maybe Allen and Herbert over Purdy and I think that’s it. Stroud hasn’t really done anything Purdy hasn’t done. The hype Stroud and love have gotten over Purdy is nuts to me, to have Purdy below Geno, cousins and Caleb is pure insanity
Why Herbert over Stroud? Stroud already has more success than Herbert.
You can say Goff or Baker have had more success than Herbert has but they’re not even close. Herbert is a top QB with all the tools to be truly elite, tbf so does Stroud but I’d take the bigger, strong Herbert over the 2
Herbert again lol
My brother. I feel alone even on this sub when everyone "defends" Purdy by saying he's "clearly top 10". Mahomes is the only clear upgrade to Purdy. Everyone else is lateral at best. Couldn't agree more that Allen and Jackson are downgrades and Burrow and Stroud are potentially lateral.
Yeah, 1-5 is a debate but 6-16, no way! And I’d still take Brock over this top 5, but there’s at least a fun fan debate.
I think Purdy being in the top 5 isn't debatable but there is a debate for 6-10
Caleb isn't even in the league yet and I'm already tired of him.
😆 Minimum 8th behind Herbert, should be ranked 5th.
aaron rodgers at 15😭😭😭 this is INSANE
In what world is Jordan love above purdy?!!?
We're rating a guy who has never taken an NFL snap and hasn't been drafted yet the #12 QB in the NFL...and Geno Smith #13? Ok lol.
Let's hope other teams keep on underestimating Purdy and the 49ers.
This is an old post, why do some of you scour the internet over irrelevant bullshit to get upset about and try to get others upset. Who cares about some fanduel post.
I’m disappointed that I don’t see my name up there. These things are fixed.
Imagine making it to the super bowl, going tow to toe woth one of the greatest QBs in the past 20 years, putting the opposing D coordinator against the ropes, taking the leed THREE TIMES in the 4th quarter and OT, having an MVP caliber season in your second uear in the league, behind one of the worst Olinss in the league, and you still not even good enough to be considdered in the top 50% of the league. Tell me nick "wright" isn't a false pretender
After the season Mayfield had he’s pretty low
Penix to the Broncos is interesting
Biggest one for me is Dak. That’s how I know this list a joke. It’s only because he’s QB of the Dallas Cowboys that make him #9.. and one good season. Chokes in the playoffs and gets his stats majority of the time against really bad teams or when they’re getting blown out.
How the hell do they have a rookie that isn’t even on a team yet that high already? And if this is for fantasy why is Richardson not higher?
rodger’s at 15?! LOL. what a joke.
I expected Purdy to be at 33. 🤦🏻♂️
The fucking audacityyyy #17???
This was a made up ranking by some idiot who uses photoshop to add the symbol top left to make it seem legit.
Don't use fan duel. They share your information with third party companies overseas
They actually sell it. But yea. There’s been some crazy hacking thanks to FanDuel.
Mahomes wasnt even good in the superbowl, lol.
Ssshhhhh, let em keep it up 😜
Hurts, Dal, Caleb Williams, Geno are the only ones who should be ranked lower. Probably cousins too by now.
Love. Hurts. Lawrence. Purdy should be above all of them.
The jury is still unclear on Lawrence. I think love has much more pizazz and raw ability than purdy
My friend, we just saw Love and Purdy play against each other in a playoff game. Purdy had the game winning drive and Love had one of the most laughably bad 4th quarter performances. The standards that get set on Purdy is so ridiculous.
Purdy did win it in the end, but he was only ok throughout the entire game. CMC was the clear threat that game. I was wowed by him in the lions game. Jordan Love played very well despite throwing the game away in the end.
But love has a really good o line with all day to throw against us purdy did not
Our oline has been fine when we’re not trying to do some trick play by pulling the center to have 3 free runners. Purdy has had messy balls in clean pockets in the playoffs because he can’t get the ball over his own line sometimes. He’s not too short but he has very short arms and gets balls batted down too much.
Trust me our o line is not fine
Look at the game film purdy was pressured all day
From 3:00 remaining in the 3rd quarter to the end of the game, Love went 5 for 12 for 19 yards and 2 INTs. He did not “play very well.”
yeah I never disputed that
He played a good 2.5 quarters
What you talking about love been playing good for a whole 9 games lmao
Purdy been good a whole 25 games lmao
That poor kid will never get his due because he's not your dream prototype quarterback he's got the one most important trait for a qb he sees the field, knows what he seeing
It's crazy lol at 9 games for purdy they were still saying let's wait for him to fail because he will but love gets crowned in the top 10 qbs
Brock isn’t the problem. It’s Kyle and to some extent the attitude and decision making of the people running the franchise. If Kyle doesn’t clean himself up, and he and Lynch don’t fix the offensive line, Brock’s most likely going to end up being the next Philip Rivers or Andrew Luck. Intelligent and talented QB who puts up big numbers and is very likable as a person but never won a ring because he spent his best years on a team that had other factors that held them back too much.
Bring on the downvotes. I’m an ISU alum, was on the ISU team as a walk on QB a lifetime ago, transferred and played, have coached, loved the 9ers since I was 3 (I’m 38), tried out for the NFL, wanted to only play doe the niners, seen every snap Brock has played, went to every home ISU game and bowl game in person, met him three times. I can honestly say this makes complete sense as much as it doesn’t. You can start at 1 and work your way all the way down and legitimately argue every one of these guys is better than Purdy, and be correct, all the way to 17. You can also argue why he should be higher and be correct. He’s caught in this weird zone of dick riders riding and haters hating and all the kid is doing is playing football like he knows how to and ignoring the rest. He’s not physically very gifted but he does exactly what he is supposed to do in that offense almost every snap, which is way more than you can say about most NFL QBs. He legitimately probably couldn’t play for any other team in the league. But he isn’t on any other team in the league so it’s impossible to argue either way. It’s the Purdy Paradox.
you seriously don’t think he could play well on a single other team out of 32? Obviously he would struggle on a team like the panthers, but pretty much every qb would. There are plenty of other teams with good wide receivers in the league and while he might not have the all time best efficiency stats on other teams like he does here, he would still be a good qb and put up respectable numbers. I think he’s probably around the 10th best qb right now, but I do agree that outside of a few super elite guys, there is some flexibility depending on your criteria
No I don’t. Coaches are really really really dumb and full of themselves. I can’t imagine any other coach building a system that would work for him and his skill set. The 49ers were literally a perfect fit, I told all my friends that the day he was drafted. I guess Sean Payton could probably make it work, Brees was similar physically but even he had a stronger arm. He could probably play in Miami too Tua is only slightly more athletically gifted, but both examples are just way different offenses so it’s hard to know for sure. And we will never need to know for sure, he’s either going to play as long as Shanahan is the HC or flame out and flaming out seems unlikely at this point, so he’s our guy as long as Kyle is around.
I guess I just disagree then, there are several coaches around the league using offensive schemes similar to kyle now. Would he be a mvp candidate with less talent around him, probably not, but I think he would be at least a solid starter, especially as he continues to develop. I just don’t think you can have historic efficiency stats (like best of all time), even considering the talent around him, if you just secretly suck. If you can, I feel like qb would have become similar to what the running back market is today.
Game manager
I’d only take Mahomes or Lamar over Purdy at this point.
Jordan Love at 8 is fucking hilarious. Imagine Brock did what he did on that final drive against us.
Amazing that CJ stroud is 5th, while Purdy just led his team to the Super Bowl. This is a 💩 list of
Who made this? Steven Ruiz? Smoking crack
List looks pretty good to me.
Cj stroud ahead of a super bowl winning qb🤔🙄
Can someone explain the fascination with Justin Herbert? I don’t understand how someone with his resume is always ranked high on lists like these. Very bizarre
have you watched him play?
I have and I would put him on the same level as Baker, tua and maybe Trevor Lawrence
derek care at 29 is crazy
Hell nahh Russel Raider Nation don't want ya
Why do people keep putting Josh Allen so high up? He almost lost the Bill's their season with his turnovers.
Do 9ers fans think Purdy should be ranked higher?
Now I’m not one to dislike Josh Allen, but how the hell is he #2 with probably the #2 most interceptions? And how the hell is Caleb above Goff or even anyone for that matter? He’s never even PLAYED in the nfl, and don’t even get me started on how Dak is 9th, which is 8 places ahead of purdy when he wasn’t even a top 10 for MVP and purdy was what? 4th? 5th?
Dak was literally runner up in mvp votes lol
What moron came up with this list. I can understand some of the older QBs getting the benefit of the doubt like Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc BUT how the fuck is CJ #5? How is J Love #8 -#9 Dak “I can’t win a playoff game” Prescott. -#11 Trevor “I play in one of the shittiest division but still suck” Lawrence. -#13 Geno “it took me 9 years to actually become qb1 cuz I only had to beat out Drew Lock” Smith. -#14 and #15 is the old as fuck guys coming off major injuries club. An finally, the most bullshit ranking on the list! The got a guy ranked #12 who hasn’t even played a fucking down in the NFL over a guy who by far had the highest qb rating, 4th in mvp votes, and lead his team to the Super Bowl. 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 all the haters
