Yahoo Sports NFL on Brock Purdy
From the article
Purdy was my MVP pick after four games, having thrown one interception while taking zero sacks through one month. That's no longer the case, with Purdy throwing four picks and taking eight sacks over the ensuing four games. Purdy is still running the league's lowest sack rate at 3.3%. And in terms of creating good plays, 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 league in QBR, EPA, and success rate.
Purdy was ESPN's Bill Barnwell's MVP pick after four games but has slipped to No. 2 at midseason after throwing four interceptions and taking eight sacks over the ensuing four games, including a loss at Atlanta. However, he still leads the league in QBR and EPA per dropback, runs the league's lowest sack rate at 3.3%, and ranks No. 1 in success rate as a passer. He has 23 first downs as a runner (second behind Josh Allen) and ranks third in rushing EPA. Barnwell notes that Purdy deserves more credit for driving the offense, with more than a third of his pass attempts going to secondary receivers like Jordan Watkins, Jacob Cowing, and Demarcus Robinson, whom he has made look good. Barnwell leans slightly toward Joe Burrow as the MVP favorite but acknowledges Purdy has a legitimate shot at being an All-Pro this year.
