Brock Purdy\u2019s NFL playoff debut<\/a><\/span> was a tour de power efficiency that shattered the paradigm for rookie NFL quarterbacks. In one sport, the San Francisco 49ers\u2019 virtuoso<\/a><\/span> logged extra playoff touchdowns than Jimmy Garappolo<\/a><\/span> has in his complete Niners profession.<\/p>\n

Transcendent rookie playoff debuts don\u2019t simply happen by happenstance. The air stress is completely different up within the playoff environment. Most rookies don\u2019t even play as rookies and those which are lucky sufficient to waddle out into the postseason and plod round groggily for 60 minutes. Purdy was imagined to hit a wall. Hell, much more skilled quarterbacks expertise stage fright underneath the brilliant lights. In the primary half, we noticed some spotty moments from Purdy<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Purdy\u2019s 6-0 begin to his profession has been extra analogous to a teenage Eddie Murphy<\/a><\/span> infiltrating the SNL forged, placing the present on his again and fewer than two years later, going toe-to-toe with Nick Nolte in \u201c48 Hrs.\u201d There\u2019s no telling the place Purdy goes from right here, however he\u2019s already cemented his footprints in NFL lore.<\/p>\n

But like Eddie transitioning from 11pm sketch comedian to buddy cop film star with ease, the rook proved he\u2019s received the stage presence to not simply experience alongside within the Niners ensemble forged, however to often take the lead.<\/p>\n

Purdy: Not like all the remainder<\/h2>\n

Twenty-four rookie quarterbacks have began<\/a><\/span> an NFL playoff sport and Purdy\u2019s debut is the higher echelon, if not one of the best we\u2019ve ever seen. In the annals of NFL historical past, there hasn\u2019t been a playoff debut of this magnitude, particularly by a rookie passer. Dan Marino\u2019s playoff debut doesn\u2019t stand out as a result of he misplaced. To search for the golden normal, you\u2019ve received to dig deeper.<\/p>\n

In the 2000 postseason, New Orleans\u2019 fourth round flotsam, Aaron Brooks set the gold standard by minced the defending Super Bowl champions\u2019, but even that came against one of the worst pass defenses in league history. In the 2016 postseason, another fourth rounder Dak Prescott whipped it around for 304 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Brock Purdy\u2019s 131.5 passer rating is the Burj Khalifa compared to the 111.5 quarterback rating Brooks earned against the Rams, in part because the former was turnover-free. Purdy\u2019s improvisational acumen was on display on the laser he threw to Brandon Aiyuk late in the fourth quarter. The score was already lopsided, but Purdy\u2019s moxy, accuracy and his poise under duress were all on display as he scrambled calmly, set up for a throw, reset his body and got blasted in the process. Aiyuk dropped a pass placed in his bread basket, but Purdy put the league on notice. The Niners just got a whole lot tougher to trifle with.<\/p>\n
