Purdy is going to be a top QB in the league for a long time. Pocket presence and ability to read a defense while throwing with anticipation are skills you can actually improve when you show promise early on. He will be better.

Purdy won't be tested for at least 2 more years. Odds are he holds out a bit in his last year.
If Purdy was paid even what Pickett was paid the Niners would have to make strategic role player cuts but they're still OK. But when he hits FA, if he was getting paid what Dak's getting paid (IMO a fair comp to purdy) with an AAV of 40M, That's basically losing George Kittle and Javon Hargrave.
If he's franchise tagged, thats still 36M, that's Deebo and Juice.
Purdy's test will be when he is required to be the man, not the manager.

Purdy has a below average skill set, but he makes up for it with tools like reading a defense and throwing with accuracy and anticipation, which he is clearly above average in all those categories. That's basically the opposite of a guy like Justin Fields, who has an skillset, but has below average (honestly terrible) ability to read a defense and doesn't throw with accuracy/anticipation.
This can't be true...

You can literally see it every time he isn't able to plant his feet. The ball sails and lacks zip.
The play on that 1st holding call against Trent Williams where Purdy rolls right then throws across the field to Kittle is a prime example of this. Balls travels barely 35 yards in the air and looked like that was almost as far as he could throw it without stepping into it. Again, he's very accurate and has elite playmakers, so it works. But he simply isn't a guy that is going to consistently fit throws it into narrow windows.

Odds are it wasn't a fully designed route it was probably a feel route, AIyuk having the option to go or post up depending on safety. The safety only slowed down on covering him because of Aiyuk slowing up to potentially post. Had it been a go ball the safety is running in step with him and again even on a pure go it's still 50/50 as that ball was laid up there.

He's not top 10 to 20%. He can be top half. But there's a large swath between the athletes (Lamar, Fields, ALlen, Hurts) and the statues (Carr, Goff, Jimmy G, Tanne) Purdy Ran a 4.82 40 which is very respectable. He's in that Daniel Jones/Mahomes area. Which is a good spot to be.
But realize to be top 10 to 20% would mean he's basically top 10-20 as there's about 90 active roster QBs.

Refs keep the whistles in their mouth as much as possible in the playoffs. As I said Trent Williams was obviously holding on multiple calls (I was curious after the first to keep watching) only the first was truly eggregious. That hold is nothing compared to what williams did on the TD as well as the illegal blocker down field. Niners complaining about calls is baseless. I'm not shocked because the fanbase is whiny as ****.
