I still think Purdy is legit. I still haven’t watched regulation of the SB, but listening to sports radio and ESPN/FS1, they think Purdy’s SB performance was solid/played well.
He was very consistent, and I thought he truly changed the narrative about himself in the NFC Championship game. The 49ers lose that game without him in the 2nd half, ie, Joe EveryQB would not have brought SF all the way back.
His SB performance was solid, he just isn’t Patrick Mahomes. He also had the disadvantage of going first in playoff overtime. Still, had Chris Jones not pressured the shit out of him he would have scored a TD on that first drive.
That bread and butter play that destroys the defense when you absolutely must have it… I don’t think Shanahan and Purdy are there yet.
The Chiefs’ last play was artwork by comparison, HC, QB, team working together and flawlessly executing a plan.
To dial that up consistently takes continuity and excellence
