ArticleWeek 8 NFL Power Rankings: Grading Each Team’s Quarterback SituationOctober 27, 2026

From the article

By the numbers, Purdy should be considered a front-runner in the MVP race so far this season. His hot start has been impressive, although I would argue that his last three games have been a bit of a 'come back to earth' type of situation. That's not meant to take away from what he's done, but the decision-making is becoming shaky, and it needs to be mentioned.

Purdy is MVP frontrunner but last three games show shaky decision-making.

Purdy is a front-runner in the MVP race by the numbers through seven weeks; however, the source notes his last three games have been a 'come back to earth' situation with shaky decision-making that needs correction. He's playing at a high level overall but must course-correct for the 49ers to maintain their high level of play.
