Purdy was excellent final season, however his landing share, completion share and yards per recreation are down this yr.
Alternatively, the Niners have had an enormous rash of accidents all through their roster, together with on their offensive line, and due to this fact there was a revolving door so far as which key offensive starters have been out there to play.
Apparently, Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs, who remains to be arguably the sport’s greatest QB in a vacuum, has put up numbers this season which can be solely marginally higher than Purdy’s numbers.
Purdy is simply 24 years of age, so he possible has room for enchancment when it comes to refining sure issues in his recreation.
As well as, if he accepts a considerably extra modest extension this offseason, it may very well be a blessing in disguise for San Francisco, as it will make it lots simpler for them to take care of and enhance the remainder of their core.
