Brock Purdy is in the form of his career and a legitimate MVP candidate throughout the first month of the season, and it took one half of the worst game so far to really showcase why he deserves the accolades.
Jeremy Wohlfart of Niner Noise argues that San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is a legitimate MVP candidate despite playing his worst game of the 2026 season against the Denver Broncos. After Denver cornerback Patrick Surtain exited the game, Purdy rallied the offense and threw a game-clinching touchdown pass to tight end George Kittle, leading San Francisco to a 4-0 start.
The article highlights that Purdy leads the NFL in passer rating, QBR, and EPA per dropback while remaining unsacked through four games. Wohlfart believes an upcoming matchup against the Seattle Seahawks provides Purdy with another major opportunity to solidify his MVP credentials.
