Brock Purdy‘s early season heroics is the talk of the football world at the moment. The second-year QB has had a near flawless start to his season as he has tallied 9 touchdowns without a single interception through five weeks. The San Francisco 49ers have started the season unbeaten and Purdy is huge reason for that. His elite production has drawn a lot of comparisons to a certain Tom Brady.

Fox Sports analyst and face of the Undisputed show, Skip Bayless has compared Purdy with the former New England Patriots QB. On the latest episode of the Undisputed show, Bayless gave his reasons for the comparison and talked about the things that makes Purdy special.

“I kept saying, ‘he doesn’t have that big of an arm, and he’s not that mobile.” Bayless said on the show. “And I’m looking at Brock Purdy, he doesn’t even have Tom’s arm, he doesn’t have Tom’s height, because Tom’s a full 6’4. But he is mobile, he can move in the pocket to create time to throw, and that throw he made to [George] Kittle for that first TD, it was a big-time National Football League pro football throw.”

He further continued, “He is early Tom Brady. He’s on that arc because he doesn’t do anything wrong. He has started and finished 12 games in this league. He’s 12-0 in those games. 12-0? It’s impossible.”

Purdy has leads all QBs in almost every statistical category. His performance against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday was his best so far this season and will look to continue that in the Niners’ next game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Brady finished his career with seven Super Bowls. He played in the league for 23 years. This is Purdy’s second season in the league, he hasn’t won a ring yet. This comparison might seem a bit too early in Purdy’s career. Here are some of the fan reactions.

While Purdy has started the season well, he is yet to win a Super Bowl. The Niners are prime contenders to win it all this season and with Purdy playing the way he is, there is no stopping this juggernaut.
