i've tried to shy away from challenging you on Purdy because for the team SF has assembled, he is what they needed. He doesn't try to do too much and he hits guys short and in space and allows their talents to do much of the rest, Deebo has been in beast mode since coming back from injury.
Happy to see Purdy doing well and if we are talking FF, he's Top 5 so I might laugh a lot with you. But he's not an NFL-Top 5 QB, you do understand that, right? At least not yet. He has lots of time with all that talent and great coaching to be that guy but right now I view him more in the Russ Wilson area and that's not a bad thing, he went to 2 SB and won a Lombardi trophy which is all you really care about so be happy.
I just think you should acknowledge that when others debate you and it's why i haven't said much
I agree with most of this. I've never said Purdy is a top ___ QB, and I dont think he will get MVP. I don't even think he SHOULD be MVP, but he's in the conversation, so I put numbers out there because its fun and he IS having a historical statistical season. It's even MORE fun to see people blow gaskets because they cant accept that he's even good, let alone in the MVP convo.
I'd love to see him win it for 3 reasons.
1: It would break the internet
2: It would be one of the greatest underdog stories of all time if Mr Irrelevant won MVP (only Kurt Warner did it from farther out, and he also had an all star cast around him)
3: I'd cash out $500 on a $10 bet I made back in early May.
All that said, I think CMC will get OPOY and MVP will go to someone other than Purdy. But some of the weak straw grasping that gives Purdy no credit for being as good as he's been is just comical to me.
All I want is a SB. Individual awards are cool but they don't do much for me.
