Cousins is 1-4 in the playoffs. And let's be honest, he panics in big situations. That last throw last year came from panic; if he'd thought about it, he had to take the shot downfield to JJ; it was the best and only way to keep the game going and potentially get a W. Purdy has shown in his short career that he's fearless; he'll make big throws in big moments. He doesn't seem to panic the way Cousins or Dak will in those stuations.
And yes, Herbert in the SF system should be more potent. And on paper, yeah, I'd be more concerned about Herbert; he's obviously far more talented than Brock.
But it's not like Herbert hasn't had weapons. He's had Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Ekeler, etc. and still hasn't been able to accomplish in 4 seasons what Purdy has in just 1.9 (slightly less than 2 seasons).
Maybe I'm wrong, but at this point it appears that Purdy is the more efficient and mentally tough QB.
