49ers QB Brock Purdy Is Poised to Take over Top Spot on Career Passer Rating List
Brock Purdy is five attempts from qualifying for the NFL’s all-time passer rating leaderboard as he credits San Francisco’s offense for his success.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy needs five more passing attempts on Monday night against the Washington Commanders to reach the 1,500-attempt threshold for the NFL's all-time passer rating leaderboard.
With a career passer rating of 105.4, Purdy is positioned to surpass Two-time MVP Lamar Jackson's current-leading 102.7 rating once he qualifies.
Coming off a season-low 92.5 rating in last week's win, Purdy's performance reflects team efficiency. Offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak said, "It's a reflection of the guys around him and how everyone's playing together."
Coach Kyle Shanahan called passer rating an "overrated stat," praising Purdy for prioritizing winning over individual statistics even when doing so harms his efficiency numbers.
Since entering the NFL as a 2022 draft pick, Purdy has been one of the league's most efficient quarterbacks, a success he credits to his coaches and teammates supporting him.
