Rosters change every year. Purdy has had some years with good healthy receivers and some with virtually none. He's usually had CMC and Kittle to throw to which isn't bad. Allen has had mostly average WRs. Buffalo's defense has often let this team down in the playoffs.
In any case I doubt. many teams would take Purdy over Allen. Allen is a unique player with size, speed and a powerful arm. He also runs really well. Purdy is fine and he can certainly win but Allen is a notch above nearly every QB as far as overall traits. He often asked to put the team on his back more than any other QB with the possible exception of Lamar Jackson. I'm not sure Allen would be a great fit with the Niners but it would be fun to see.
That is because every front office and coaching staff is arrogant. They think they can coach anyone up and make them a star.
When you see a player like Allen, who has all the measurables that coaches gush over, they are going to want said player. Doesnt matter if the player has a history of choking and/or underperforming in big moments or not. If they like the measurables, they believe they could get the best out of the player. That is why almost every team would take Josh Allen over Brock Purdy.
Its not a hot take to say that. Hell, I would say that myself. But thats because the perceived ceiling for Josh Allen is higher than the perceived ceiling for Purdy. Would Allen get to the ceiling and be the best possible player he could be? No one knows. But the potential is exciting.
