‘Brock Purdy Hasn’t Even Had a Bad Game’ — Ex-NFL LB Salutes ‘Undefeated’ 49ers QB for Playing ‘Near-Perfect Football’ Amid MVP Chants

The San Francisco 49ers are one of three remaining undefeated teams in the NFL, but they’re the only one with six wins rather than five. Boasting a top-five offense and defense, many would argue that the 49ers are the best team in football, and Brock Purdy’s stellar play is a big reason why.

‘Brock Purdy Hasn’t Even Had a Bad Game’ — Ex-NFL LB Salutes ‘Undefeated’ 49ers QB for Playing ‘Near-Perfect Football’ Amid MVP Chants

In a recent podcast, former NFL linebacker and football analyst Emmanuel Acho lauded San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy for his exceptional play during the season. Acho stated that Purdy's performances have been near-perfect, earning him MVP chants even before the formal recognition. Purdy has maintained an undefeated record, tied with Kirk Cousins and Trevor Lawrence, after six games, despite the challenges of playing without multiple wide receivers.

Acho emphasized that, if Purdy were a former first-round draft pick, he would have already clinched the MVP award, as he has been performing at a level far exceeding expectations. The San Francisco 49ers' quarterback, who became the NFL's all-time passer rating leader, has been at the helm of the team's success, with impressive stats including 14 touchdown passes and only two interceptions.
