Story summary

Brock Purdy, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback, is off to a stellar start in the NFL this season, leading his team to a perfect 3-0 record. With nine touchdown passes and a league-leading 93.8 QBR, Purdy has drawn attention from veteran star Tom Brady, who called him an elite quarterback during a recent segment on Fox Sports. Brady said, “Purdy is playing as well as anybody” and should be considered among top-tier quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. Despite his success, Purdy’s unflashy style has made some media members hesitant to rank him alongside other star players, but with Brady's endorsement, the debate about Purdy's status in the NFL may shift significantly.

After placing the 49ers in the top spot of his power rankings, Brady said, “Brock Purdy is playing as well as anybody. asserted

Purdy → place → anybody

[He] should be considered in the tier-one QB discussions; at least, he is in my eyes.” asserted

he → consider → eyes

Brady was then asked whether Purdy is now an elite NFL quarterback and said, “It sure looks like it. asserted

It → ask → it

[He’s] playing within the system, throwing the ball accurately, no negative plays, getting his team in and out of the right plays. asserted

He → play → plays

I love the way that he’s managing every single game.” As consistent as Purdy has been throughout his career, his unsexy playing style has made many media members reluctant to place him in the same quarterback tier that Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson have inhabited for years. But if Brady believes Purdy has proven enough to slot alongside those other star signal callers, it’s hard to argue with the GOAT. asserted
