If you stripped away the jersey number and team, would anyone recognize San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy as a good quarterback?
Apparently, the answer is yes—at least according to X, where someone posted a black-and-white, blurry highlight reel of an unnamed quarterback. Spoiler: it was Purdy.
The real magic? The comments. Sure, some might be sarcastic, but let’s give the benefit of the doubt and pretend they weren’t all trolling:

Nope, that is one Brock Purdy.
So why bring this up?
