Regarding the two quarterbacks, one NFL analyst trusts Purdy far more than Jackson, making his opinion clear on FS1's "Speak" this week.
"Brock Purdy, over the last 375 days, has done everything in order for you to trust him more than Lamar Jackson," Emmanuel Acho said. "December 11, 2022, Brock Purdy made his first start. Since then, Brock Purdy has more playoff wins than Lamar Jackson. Since then, Brock Purdy has played at a higher level than Lamar Jackson.
"Literally for 375 days straight now, Brock Purdy has earned your trust. He has three games with four touchdowns, no interceptions. Lamar Jackson does not have games with four touchdowns and no turnovers. He does have four total touchdown games. However, Lamar Jackson has fumbles lost in those games.
"So Brock Purdy has done things this season that Lamar Jackson hasn't done. Brock Purdy has done things in the playoffs that Lamar Jackson has not done. Brock Purdy has a perfect passer rating game on this season."
That perfect passer rating (158.3) came in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
San Francisco is currently favored by six points over the Ravens. Purdy leads the NFL in passing touchdowns (29), yards per attempt (9.9), yards per catch (14.2), and passer rating (119.0). He is poised to break a franchise record for passing yards. It's a record that has stood for over two decades.
Acho continued, "So I trust Brock Purdy more than I trust Lamar Jackson because since Brock Purdy took over, December 11, 2022, all of the empirical data on tape and with numbers and with their eyes support that Brock Purdy is more trustworthy than Lamar Jackson."
Monday night's game is significant for both teams with lofty championship aspirations. The winner will be the favorite to win the Super Bowl and have a better chance of securing home-field advantage in the playoffs.
