Brock ‘sturdy’ Purdy shatters yet another record

The 49ers are on an incredible journey, joining an elite group of just nine teams to start 5-0. History tells us most of these teams have gone on to grace the Super Bowl, some even winning it all. In a groundbreaking revelation, NFL Research proclaims, “Brock Purdy is the first QB in the Super Bowl era to start 5-0 in both his first and second seasons.” Purdy has a perfect record of 10 wins in the regular NFL season, showcasing his prowess with a 70.4% pass completion rate.

Only ex-Jets QB, Chad Pennington, narrowly outshone him at 70.8% among all NFL quarterbacks in their first ten games. Purdy has thrown an impressive 20 touchdowns, with just 2 interceptions, completing 183 of 260 passes for 2,369 yards. He’s truly dominating the regular season.

Cause, in the latest game, QB Purdy, alongside running back Christian McCaffrey, led their team to a resounding 42-10 victory against the Dallas Cowboys. Purdy’s performance was nothing short of outstanding. HC Shanahan himself couldn’t help but be impressed. Against the Cowboys, he threw four touchdowns, without a single error. He now sits at the pinnacle of NFL ratings with an impressive 123.1, adding to his stellar start.

For the die-hard fans, the notion of Brock Purdy facing off against the legendary Tom Brady is exhilarating.

Brock Purdy challenges Tom Brady

This season, the 49ers exude the aura of a team destined for greatness, joining the ranks of just six teams that have scored 30+ points in their first five games. They’ve extended that streak, hitting 30+ points in eight consecutive regular-season games, marking it as the fifth-longest streak in NFL history.

Drawing parallels to Tom Brady’s meteoric rise in 2001, Purdy, the underdog and last pick, is on a mission to prove that talent doesn’t always hinge on your draft position. In the current 49ers lineup, Purdy is ranked third among quarterbacks, trailing Jimmy Garoppolo and the future prospect Trey Lance, picked at number 3 in the 2021 draft.

In 2001, when Patriots’ quarterback Drew Bledsoe went down with an injury, Tom Brady stepped in, executing the basics flawlessly and guiding his team to the playoffs. Similarly, in San Francisco last year, when Garoppolo and Lance were sidelined, Purdy took the reins, securing five victories by playing clean, mistake-free football. It’s worth noting that the Patriots had a dismal 5-11 record in 2000, while the 49ers have thrived, reaching the NFC Championship game in the last two years and even making it to the Super Bowl in 2019.
