From the episode

Brock Purdy was quietly like top three in EPA per play and number one in success rate... I do think that chips away at Purdy's case in a situation like this.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Purdy's MVP case is hurt by the perception that Shanahan drives the offense.

The source notes that while Brock Purdy was top-three in EPA per play and number one in success rate last year, his MVP case is hindered by the perception that Kyle Shanahan's coaching is the primary driver of the 49ers' success.
