Only a buffoon thinks Shanahan wouldn’t trade Purdy for Justin Fields.
Only a buffoon would think a QB that can’t pass the ball, and takes a million sacks because he can’t read a defense quick enough to make a decision, is a better QB than a guy that can do both of those things.
Tom Brady is a great QB bc he makes quick decisions and puts the ball where it needs to go. That is essentially what QB’ing is.
Do you honestly believe Fields would put up better stats than Purdy has in the 49’ers offense?
Purdy has played nearly 7 full games and compare his stats vs the entire league.
67% completion (5th in NFL)
111 passer rating (1st in NFL)
65.3 QBR (5th in NFL)
No, the 49ers would not trade away a rookie QB that has performed as a top 5 Qb in his 7 games, for a 2nd year QB that has performed as a bottom 8 Qb during his career.
Stats don’t lie.
I feel like if Purdy wins the Super Bowl you’ll still think Fields is better despite there being no statistical basis for it.
