Are comparisons to Tom Brady a step too far?
For our NFL trade predictions and insights into dark horse Super Bowl contenders, listen below:
Regardless of whether one thinks that assessment is reactionary, Brock Purdy threw for 252 yards in prime time and had four touchdown passes, three of which were to tight end George Kittle. Purdy has led the 49ers to a perfect 5-0 record so far this season, but some still question whether that success is just talent or head coach Kyle Shanahan’s successful offensive system.
For Bayless, however, he’s already bullish on the Iowa State alum because he sees in him future first-round Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady, who is considered the best player of all time. Great quarterback. It’s certainly uncomfortable to hear comparisons made to Brady, but there’s no doubt that Purdy knew a lot about winning football games early in his career.
Under Purdy’s leadership, the 49ers achieved a 12-0 record in the regular season. Counting the playoffs, he only lost 11 games, which was the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in last season’s NFC Championship Game. He’s been productive so far this season, throwing for nine touchdowns, no interceptions, and leading the league with a total QBR of 83.7.
“He didn’t do anything wrong. “You can say scheme, you can say Kyle (Shanahan), you can say talent, you can say Kittle, Deebo (Samuel), (Brandon) Aiyuk, Christian McCaffrey,” Bayless said. “But you still have to play the position at the highest level. “He was calm and collected.”
Brock Purdy looks to continue his 13-game winning streak in the regular season when the 49ers take on the Cleveland Browns next Sunday, October 15th.
