Cowboys’ Jerry Jones Compares Brock Purdy to ‘Outstanding Quarterback’ Kellen Moore

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.
