Jackson certainly hasn't ever done it again and as a consequence has averaged 25 TDs/16 games thereafter.
Brock Purdy is, like Jackson, a 22-24 TD/yr passer unless he spikes his red zone TD% in any given year, as he did this year. But we know that's not a real skill but rather a statistical oddity.
He's...fine. He's a MASSIVE asset for the 49ers because he's an average QB making backup punter money. And like I said earlier, he can have moments of really good play because he's just completely fearless and fine+fearless will equal productive as hell for periods.
But it's also going to yield some pretty ragged football when he gets off-kilter. And he'll be easier to get off-kilter than a better player would be.
Purdy doens't worry me.

Look at how many times cmc scored, purdy is not like Allen who gets most of his tds in the red zone mainly with rushing, the 49ers will beat the chiefs
