San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is off to an outstanding start to his NFL career. The Iowa State product hasn’t lost as a starter in the regular season, compiling a 10–0 record. He’s completed 69.3% percent of his passes for 2,645 yards with 22 touchdown passes and only four interceptions.
Purdy’s performance has been so impressive that it inspired Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to make a baffling comparison. During Jones’s weekly appearance on Dallas’s 105.3 The Fan, he said Purdy reminded him of former Cowboys quarterback (and later offensive coordinator) Kellen Moore.
“When I see Purdy perform the way he does, I immediately go in my mind to Kellen, and I think of how outstanding a quarterback Kellen was,” Jones said on the K&C Masterpiece show, per Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports.
