We’re 21 regular season starts into Brock Purdy’s career and there remains a handful of common criticisms against the 49ers’ quarterback. Some of those criticisms are fair, others are not. Perhaps the loudest misconception of San Francisco’s signal caller is that he’s a “dink and dunk” quarterback. The implication being that Purdy doesn’t push the ball down the field, and instead checks down with short throws and allows his stable of elite after-the-catch weapons to do the heavy lifting.
