This isn't Lamar proving he can be a pocket passer or Allen proving he can play mistake-free football.
Purdy isn't leaving ANYTHING on the field. If he sees a window, he's firing. If he doesn't, he's running. He's just playing so free out there. He's playing fearless football.
He's playing like Mister Irrelevant who knows that he was never supposed to be here. If he fails - who cares? If he succeeds, he's a hero.
It's fascinating to watch. It's Baker Mayfield back before he started getting picked at. Even 1st year starter Mahomes was completely devoid of ****s to give.
Purdy sure seems to be. I don't think he's terribly good but his mentality is such that he doesn't seem to care. And if he gets hot for a couple quarters, you can combine that with his lack of conscious and get a real heater built up for the 9ers.
But if he gets caught up in the bright lights in this game, he'll get destroyed. The only hope the 49ers have is that he continues to play like there's no tomorrow.

I feel like not having a bye this week would be good for him. Keep playing with less time to actually realize where you are and what’s at stake.
Whether he likes it or not, he’s getting the spotlight. If he loses, it’ll be on him because we all know those weapons are elite. He’s about to have more microphones and cameras in his face than ever before.
Let’s see how he responds.
