If it goes to a niner it should be CMC but yeah QB only club now.

Which is a shame because CMC honors us all with his establishment of The Run.

The 49ers went to the Superbowl with Jimmy G and a marginally worse roster. Purdy is good but is also the least impressive 49er on the majority of his passing plays.

The 49ers might've reached the Super Bowl last year if not for the injury to Purdy basically ending the game. Hell, a Purdy who could barely throw still managed to be a better QB than Josh Johnson.

Yeah, the 49ers are loaded on offensive talent, but you still need to have some basic competence as a QB to make that offense thrive, or otherwise the run game can be shut down like Philly did in the NFCCG post-injury. Zach Wilson obviously ain't gonna do poo poo on the 49ers. Yeah, Mahomes would probably make that 49ers squad into the 2007 Pats, but Purdy has to be at least a good QB to keep the offense running so well for so long. He's definitely legit as a QB so far, and could end up proving to be elite with a couple more seasons like this.

I think trying to diagnose a concussion based on whether a QB is playing badly or not is pretty silly. Sometimes guys just have bad games or bad stretches. You don’t need to go looking for a bump to the head to explain it.

Yea, and cleared it in time for the game the following week. And the hit to the head came in the 4th quarter. So he played a portion of one quarter with a concussion then cleared protocol and played another game and wasn’t very good. Explaining that away as concussed for 1.5 games is a really generous interpretation.

He got concussed and threw INTs in his next 2 passes. Odds are they win without the concussion. That was Monday night. They then played the Bengals who were coming off a bye and he just didn't look right. I think that was more the massive rest disadvantage, though.

Purdy is much more efficient, and careful with the ball than Jimmy G. He seems to have a very good understanding of when to be aggressive and when to play it safe. Unlike Jimmy G who would throw the dumbest possible interception with the game in the balance. Also, no self-preservation skills.

I think you clearly didn't know he was in protocol at all and now are trying too hard to win an online argument tbqh. I don't have evidence beyond mere skepticism that he fully recovered in less than a week and him playing obviously much worse than he was before and after

The Patriots are Iowa except they have to play other NFL teams instead of Big 10 West teams. I mean, if you think Trubisky can score several touchdowns, be my guest.

If it's more that people are just gambling huge amounts recklessly in general, very fair.

I'm not married to him as an MVP candidate and I think it would be fun if a non-QB won it for a change, but so much of the argument against Purdy feels a little too disconnected from his tangible production for my liking. It'd be one thing if he was just doing game manager poo poo and costing on QB Wins en route to a narrative-based MVP candidacy, but you go to the QB leaderboards and he's #1 in passer rating, QBR, yards/attempt, yards/completion, any/a, completion percentage, TD%, #4 in passing TD, #7 in passing yards...it's pretty easy to land on him as "guy having the best year at the most important position," which is a totally reasonable way to pick the MVP.

Trying to undercut that by going "ah but his teammates are too talented and his coaching makes his job too easy" feels weird to me. I guess it makes sense to invoke if you're trying to compare people with equally strong candidacies, but to use it to dismiss him altogether doesn't really feel like it's in the spirit of the award? Like, I've never seen the NFL MVP as a "Who is objectively the best player in the league" award, and this isn't the MLB where you can fairly confidently isolate an individual player's value. Guys like Kurt Warner have won before playing on incredibly stacked teams. I don't know why Purdy is the breaking point where people are going "Oh but his numbers don't really count"

You can easily and trivially tell the story of the NFL while utterly and completely omitting Frank Gore. Being the 5th to 15th best RB every year isn't fame-worthy even if you do it for 10 years. I don't care about the consistency. He's one of the greatest 49ers but he does not remotely qualify to be mentioned in the same breath as Payton, Dickerson, Faulk, Sanders, Tomlinson, Brown, etc.

Gore is a Ricky Watters who managed to play five extra seasons. Don't kid yourselves.

I think MVP is dak because the cowboys without Dak are 5-11 and the 49ers without Purdy are still capable of being a juggernaut. That's not at all a swipe at Purdy, and more of a compliment to Dak. In the same way that Matt cassel could go 11-5 on the patriots, but the colts shriveled into a 2-14 mess without Peyton.

You said he was concussed for 1.5 games which is untrue based on all of the available facts but I’m the one who didn’t know what was going on? He wasn’t even much worse before and after, his worst game was against Cleveland but maybe he had another undiagnosed medical condition you’d like to weigh in on.

They can still do some things with the team while in protocol depending on the stage so he probably had some prep time but I doubt he did any full contact practice.
