Brandon's been tearing it up this season.
I'm more than a bit worried about the D. The Lions ran all over us in the first half of the NFCCG.

I can’t believe that I am about to defend Smith, but of course Purdy is everything that Smith is not. He’s Mr. Irrelevant and has nothing to lose out there, has far more skill weapons than Smith at the same points in their careers, SF is much better run now and has stability on offense. Smith was supposed to lead a turnaround of that franchise while Purdy wasn’t. Far less is asked or expected of Purdy than Smith.
