One thing about Brock Purdy that has doubled in the wrong direction: his drop rate.
Around these parts, we praised how efficient Purdy looked as the 49ers’ quarterback. Especially compared to the near-comical drop rates that plagued the team before he took over. In 2023, Purdy had just nine dropped passes. That’s a huge step up, considering where the 49ers had been:
2018: 27
2019: 28
2020: 34
2021: 26
2022: 37
2023: 9
Unfortunately, we’re back in double-digits.
