Purdy's EPA and efficiency have cratered since Week 5 despite hot start.

Brock Purdy's performance has deteriorated significantly since Week 5. In Weeks 1-4, he posted a 69.9% completion percentage, 1,007 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, 1 interception, 126.2 passer rating, and +0.505 EPA per dropback. In Weeks 5-7, those numbers fell to 68.4% completion, 741 yards, 6 touchdowns, 3 interceptions, 91.4 passer rating, and -0.087 EPA per dropback. The source notes this is not a one-week blip but a concerning trend from a quarterback who was an MVP candidate in the first four weeks.
