Niners Nation on Brock Purdy
From the article
Through four games, Purdy has thrown for 1,007 yards, 11 touchdowns, and only one interception, while completing nearly 70 percent of his passes and averaging 8.9 yards per attempt... His EPA per dropback of 0.53 is by far the top (Lamar Jackson is No. 2 at 0.29)... no one is playing the position at Purdy's level in 2026.
STACKED’s take
Purdy leads MVP race with elite efficiency; 0.53 EPA per dropback, 11 TDs, 1 INT through 4 weeks.
Through four games in 2026, Purdy leads the NFL MVP leaderboard with elite efficiency across all major metrics: 1,007 passing yards, 11 TDs, 1 INT, 70% completion, 8.9 Y/A, 126.2 passer rating, 89.6 QBR, 0.53 EPA per dropback (0.24 ahead of second-place Lamar Jackson), and 60.7% success rate. He's No. 1 in passer rating, QBR, and net yards per attempt; remains sack-free; and has thrown 2+ TDs without an INT for three straight weeks. He's the first 49ers QB to start a season with multiple TDs in each of the first four games since Steve Young in 1998 (Young had seven straight). The source notes 'no one is playing the position at Purdy's level in 2026' and credits his keen accuracy, pocket manipulation, heady playmaking, and ability to avoid negative plays despite a decimated receiving corps.
