I'm not sure those numbers are accurate. This is what pro-football reference shows (including playoffs):
Jimmy G: 42-19 (38-17 regular season, 4-2 playoffs)
Purdy: 39-18 (34-15 regular season, 5-3 playoffs)
jimmy was good folks as you can see here
I loved Jimmy and everything he did for this franchise.
But I'm sorry. He was atrocious in the playoffs. Not average. Not below average. Atrocious.
His best playoff performance was probably the NFC Championship loss to the Rams where we scored 17 points and he moved the ball 0 yards when it mattered the most.
Purdy lapped all of Jimmy's playoff performances combined in his first playoff game. The two playoff comebacks in 2024 clearly put him on a different level and then the win last season in Philadelphia was another feather in his cap.
All you had to do was watch each of them play. It's night and day. One knows how to make THE plays to win the playoff game. The other needs everything to go perfectly.
