49ers’ Brock Purdy Judged as ‘Borderline’ In QB Tier System<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like many quarterbacks in the NFL, San Francisco 49ers star Brock Purdy is difficult to judge.<\/p>\n

Purdy has reached the conference championship game twice in his career and even went to the Super Bowl in his second season. After signing a lucrative contract extension of over $265 million, it’s clear the former seventh-round pick has become a success story in the eyes of NFL lore.<\/p>\n

But does that mean he’s an elite quarterback?<\/p>\n

CBS Sports recently ranked all 32 starting quarterbacks into tiers. They placed Purdy in the second tier of “borderline stars” along with signal-callers Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff, and Justin Herbert.<\/p>\n

“The physical fragility of the San Francisco 49ers finally got to Purdy in Year 3, when his struggles playing from behind were clearer than ever,” CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin<\/a> said. “Still, this kid is a Kyle Shanahan favorite for good reason. He’s a wily and underrated play-extender; he isn’t afraid to let it fly, and his collectedness took him to the biggest stage before.”<\/p>\n

Putting Purdy in “Tier 2” along with quarterbacks who may have better numbers but nowhere near the amount of success is a fair ranking for the signal-caller.<\/p>\n

He can be a key piece to a championship puzzle when he’s at his best. Things have to go perfectly for him, though. They did not last season when the 49ers faltered to a 6-11 mark.<\/p>\n

Purdy can eventually return to his playoff-winning self with talent still around him.<\/p>\n

No matter what, though, the 2025 season is a big one for San Francisco’s star.<\/p>\n
