The 49ers have three passing touchdowns over 20 yards with Brock Purdy under center. They had one all season when Jimmy Garoppolo was under center. It’s a small sample size considering Purdy has only played three games, but if we break it down to what’s necessary to win in the NFL, Purdy is exceeding expectations.
When blitzed or pressured, Purdy is fifth in the NFL in yards per attempt, with nine of his 14 completions resulting in a first or touchdown. The quarterbacks in front of Purdy are Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, Patrick Mahomes, and, naturally, Kirk Cousins.
