The nerds on duty at Weenieworld were not impressed with Brock Purdy's big night. It's fair to say that had a black QB put up those numbers in an easy win, the summary of his play would have been diametrically different:
Brock Purdy completed 25-of-37 passes for 310 yards and two touchdowns in the 49ers’ 30-12, Week 3 win over the Giants.
It was another “point guard” performance for the 49ers’ second-year starter, one where he was very lucky to escape without any turnovers. As seemed to often be the case last season, Purdy had several dropped interceptions in the first half, though he was far crisper after the break. He also got the ball to his play-making weapons more than enough times in space, allowing them to rip off chunk gains and tack on major yards after the catch. Purdy’s main skill seems to be his quick processing, though his physical limitations do occasionally get him into trouble. He’s probably overdue for a multi-turnover performance, but he is doing his job in this execution-based offense. He’s a solid QB2 streamer, one who catches the cellar-dwelling Cardinals in Week 4.
