Colin Cowherd: βWe have four quarterbacks left. Three are really special and then thereβs Brock Purdy. He is a gamer, he is accurate, and he makes really smart and quick decisions. He also has a great offensive head coach, a stacked roster, and lots of weaponsβ¦ Now comes NFL reality. Now comes a physical equal, on the road, against a better quarterback. The difference between beating Dak at home and beating Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia on the road feels like different galaxies to me. He has been a great story and has overachieved, but now he has to be a great player. Thatβs the way San Francisco wins Sundayβ Brock Purdy has to be a great player because Philadelphia is that stacked. The best quarterback he has faced during this winning streak is Dak. The Giants were a great story, theyβre a mile from a great team. Purdy is a great story, how far is he from a great quarterback? Heβs not great but can he make an occasional great play, because theyβre not asking a ton so far. As brilliantly as the 49ers are coached theyβre going to need Brock Purdy to play above himself. He was the last guy drafted and most of these NFL GMs and scouts know what theyβre doing. There is a reason why he was the last guy drafted. There wasnβt a lot of βspecialβ on tape. He was accurate, he distributes, heβs got some moxie, heβs a little bit of a leader, heβs a gamer, not a big arm but good enough, not super mobile but certainly good enough. Heβs got his hands full. The βstoryβ to the βrealityβ is going to switch. There has been a lot of home games, and a lot of average quarterbacks and lot of average rosters on this winning streak.β (Full Segment Above)

Check out the segment above as Colin explains why Purdy canβt just be a game manager vs. a formidable Eagles roster, adding that Purdyβs undefeated record has been greatly helped by a weak Niners schedule playing against mediocre quarterbacks.
