San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy delivered a remarkable performance on Sunday afternoon against the Arizona Cardinals. The 23-year-old completed an astonishing 95.2 percent of his passes, connecting on 20 out of 21 attempts for 283 yards and a touchdown. His completion percentage set a new franchise record.

Purdy was near-perfect in the Week 4 outing.


NFL analyst Brian Baldinger lauded the second-year quarterback's performance in the 35-16 victory that elevated the 49ers to a 4-0 record. He drew parallels to the practices from the era of legendary coach Bill Walsh.

"They used to have these Friday practices, and it was like, okay, the goal of practice is for the ball not to hit the ground," Baldinger shared Tuesday morning on 95.7 The Game's "The Morning Roast" show. "That was the whole Friday practice. The ball didn't hit the ground. You got Jerry [Rice] out there. You got all the Hall of Famers out there playing, Brent Jones, whatever. The ball didn't hit the ground."


That brought Baldy to Purdy's performance against the Cardinals, as he marveled at the quarterback's near-flawless display.

"On Sunday, the ball didn't hit the ground," Baldinger noted. "It's almost impossible to play that perfect like that. And it's not like they're throwing screen passes. It's just beautiful perfection in what they did. And he makes it all go. He makes it all go. And his ability to make these snap reads, and get off it, and get to the next guy is about as fast as anybody in this business right now."
