I will say that all the haters have to toe to line to Purdy being good if he beats Mahomes today.
Mr. Irrelevant leads his team to the NFC Championship his first season and to the Super Bowl the next. You Niners fans are going to win the big one with him eventually.
I get what you're saying, but will counter a bit with I think SF throws the ball more in 2024. Purdy will have a full training camp and a year under his belt as the undisputed starter. He was coming off the injury last camp and there were questions if he would be ready to go. No such questions this year. Also think Shanahan fully trusts Purdy at this point and will open up the offense as a result. Plus, he shouldn't beat up CMC as much this year. McCaffrey is the kind of back who can excel into the age 30 realm if they monitor his touches a bit more.I may be way off on this, but I think Purdy is going to be over drafted fantasy-wise. Last year, his efficiency was way up there. He finished 20th in pass attempts, yet was 5th in passing yards and 3rd in passing yards. Of his pass attempts, 7.1% were TDs, which led the league by a fair margin (Dak was 2nd at 6.1%).
Not to say Purdy isn't an outstanding NFL QB - obviously he is. But with very little rushing floor, I'm not sure that his fantasy stats will follow as much again, even if he continues be a top-tier NFL QB.
You could be right, although I'm always a bit hesitant relying on fantasy production from guys that don't use their legs much. From a passing standpoint, you need either massive efficiency like Purdy had, or a bombs away offense like a Cousins has typically had.I get what you're saying, but will counter a bit with I think SF throws the ball more in 2024.

Agree, but Purdy is being drafted in the 10-12 range from what I've seen. I think that's about right for the reasons I stated. He won't throw as much as other QBs, but I think he will throw more than 2023 and his efficiency should continue to be high in a Shanahan offense. I also suspect they add another WR in round 1 or 2 as they prepare for Deebo leaving next year (I think Aiyuk stays).You could be right, although I'm always a bit hesitant relying on fantasy production from guys that don't use their legs much.

I think the team will put more of a burden on him this year for the reason you state. Also, they need to figure out if he's a guy worth paying $50m/year to, so I think they'll want some more data on what he can do when the team is relying on him more and less on his playmakers. They may not have a choice in that regard as CMC, Kittle, and Deebo are all safe bets to miss more time this year than they did last year.This might be a bit bold, but I think Brock Purdy is going to continue to exceed expectations. I think SF keeps upping his passing workload as they get more and more confident in him, and while he's not gonna be throwing among the league leaders, I also don't expect him to be near the bottom in attempts either. League average, with his efficiency, is gonna lead to some strong results.
Right now, I have Purdy QB6, and I think he's a sneaky bet to lead the NFL in TD passes.
