49ers leave no doubt over how they feel about Brock Purdy after latest blowout win

Brock Purdy remains undefeated in games he's started and finished and just led the 49ers to a 42-10 demolition of the Cowboys.

Few quarterbacks in the NFL can claim to be producing at the same level as the 49ers' starter through the first five weeks of the season. Yet discussion of the performances of the final pick in the 2022 draft often sees caveats placed on his excellent play, primarily concerning the advantages he has helming an offense run by arguably the finest play-caller in the league in Kyle Shanahan.

However, after Purdy threw for four touchdowns for the first time in his career in their Sunday Night Football beatdown of Dallas, his 49er teammates were in no mood to place any qualifiers on what he has achieved coming off elbow surgery in 2023.

Reigning Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa was the most bullish in his praise of Purdy, telling his post-game press conference: "Brock is playing as one of the best quarterbacks in the league."

Expanding on that assessment, Bosa indicated that the offense is able to do much more with Purdy at the helm than they were in previous years when Jimmy Garoppolo was at the controls, even in the 2019 season when the 49ers made the Super Bowl.

He added: "2019 was majority run game, and now we can attack any which way."

The numbers bear Bosa's words out. Purdy, per NextGen Stats, completed 7 of his 10 passes of 10 air yards or more against the Cowboys for 166 yards and three of his four touchdown passes. He leads the NFL in completion percentage (72.1) on passes of that distance in 2023.
