Not many human beings are capable of being a starting NFL QB, period, much less be the starting QB on a clear contender. I don't know why it's so hard for people to just be really impressed by what these rare human beings can do.
I don't get the hate. I mean sure he isn't a top 3 QB in the league or maybe even a top 7 but he is a definitely top 10 which means he is better than 22 other guys. The 49ers are not built for Brock Purdy to single handedly win them games.

There were 60 starting QB's this year. He was better than 50 of them.

I love Purdy's demeanor. He fits well with the Shanahan system. I don't know how successful he would be elsewhere but I think he has great vision and aptitude for the game. He is a humble guy but a serious competitor and he is always trying to improve. He has 1.5 seasons under his belt. I think he is going to be a really good QB in the league for a long time. Maybe never an MVP but a guy like Stafford who is just a consistent top 5-10 QB every year.

MVP can be a weird award. Rich Gannon won it and I don't think anyone ever considered him a top 3 QB. Carr was even one of the favorites in 2016 before he broke his leg. With how good and fun that offense is, I would not rule out an MVP season for Purdy.

Good point. He was in the running this year until that Christmas day game where he threw 4INTs vs Baltimore. I think that might be part of the hate he is getting. All these pundits were Purdy naysayers and he made them look stupid by leading almost every QB category in the league for most of the season and then laid an egg in the most watched game of the year so they got to say "told you so" and now want their told you so to be vindicated so they cheer for him to fail.
