I said it before: Allen, Mahomes, Burrow, and Lamar are imo fair to rank higher than Purdy. I would place Brock 5th right after them. And some would even argue Lamar is not as good either anymore. That's all in the weeds.
Give this guy time and he will make good plays. I hope we get WR back and healthy as the season goes on.
Mahomes certainly. Allen perhaps, very impressive. Jackson more questionable, he has had way too many collapses in too many games compared to Purdy. Burrow why? Fine athlete, sure, but why is he better? Forget "measurables" and hero-ball (incidentally one of Purdy's bad tendencies). What has he actually done that is so much more amazing? And I say this again - I like the guy actually.
It is debatable - my opinion is not written in stone and my earlier comment a few weeks back was Burrow has better arm talent and also reads a defense very well most of the time, so I think we agree.
It's not night and day either between them regardless. I'm just saying people putting those 4 higher is understandable to me. After that I get annoyed when they say Dak, Herbert, Love, Daniels, Williams etc are all better.

Burrow and Purdy have actually had very similar careers, both in terms of stats and team success (both lost 1 SB). Look at Burrow's 2020-2023 and Purdy's 2022-2025. Burrow's TDs and yards are a bit higher, but otherwise very comparable.
Burrow 2020-2023
Total Games Played: 52 regular season games
Total Passing Yards: 14,083 yards
Total Touchdowns / Interceptions: 97 TD / 37 INT
Career Rushing (2020–2023): 139 carries, 605 yards, 10 rushing touchdowns
Purdy 2022-2025
Total Games Played: 49 regular season games
Total Passing Yards: 11,685 yards
Total Touchdowns / Interceptions: 84 TD / 37 INT
Career Rushing (2022–2025): 138 carries, 633 yards, 11 rushing touchdowns.
Agreed, see above. I would say a healthy Burrow is the better athlete, their ability otherwise/to read is similar, if not a nod to Purdy. We could also argue giving Purdy a guy like Chase would change things as well.(and they may argue giving Burrow Kyle would as well etc)
The point is he is in the conversation with consensus top QB's. I have felt that since like his 4th game starting. Give him time to scan the field and he will make things happen. I don't think many fans realize how good he is.
Gonna go out on a limb and say that Burrow has had a MUCH better receiving corps than Purdy, and Purdy has been better at making his receivers look better.
yeah burrow is overrated in my book, look at that ball to chase, joe seemed to be throwing away and he pulls it down chase is much more impressive player to me than burrow, ill take brock straight up over burrow
