Niners Nation on Brock Purdy
From the article
Brock Purdy, who was the MVP frontrunner a few weeks ago and remains playing at a high level, while leading a 7-1 49ers team... he leads the league in QBR and EPA per dropback. He's also No. 1 in success rate as a passer.
STACKED’s take
Purdy slipped to MVP No. 2 but leads in QBR, EPA, and success rate; elite despite four picks.
Purdy was the MVP frontrunner after four games but has slipped to No. 2 in the midseason race after throwing four interceptions and taking eight sacks over the next four games, including a loss to Atlanta. However, he remains elite: leads the league in QBR and EPA per play, ranks No. 1 in success rate as a passer, maintains the league's lowest sack rate at 3.3%, and has 23 first downs as a runner (second behind Josh Allen). He's third in rushing EPA. Despite offensive infrastructure advantages with George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey, and Mike Evans, Purdy deserves credit for driving the offense; more than a third of his pass attempts have gone to secondary receivers like Jordan Watkins, Jacob Cowing, and Demarcus Robinson, and he has made them look good. He remains a legitimate All-Pro candidate.
