4. Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers
Brock Purdy is still having an awesome season for the San Francisco 49ers, now 7-1 on the season. Purdy has 17 passing touchdowns against five interceptions this year and is completing just under 70 percent of his passes.
Purdy might arguably be the most consistent QB thus far, as he’s been excellent ever since the start of the season, and he continues to do it with a banged up supporting cast, which is something that not many other top QBs are currently dealing with.
Honestly, prior to this year, Purdy has been looked at, at least in my opinion, as a good, not great QB who needs a lot to go right around him to succeed, but I believe we are seeing him morph into a QB who is the one doing the carrying.
The 49ers still have just over half of their regular season games left, so a lot can change, but with the way Purdy has played this year, it’s hard for me to envision that this does not keep up down the stretch.
And if the roster health can improve, this team is capable of winning it all.
3. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions
Jared Goff has still been awesome this year, but the Detroit Lions did, at times, get punched in the mouth by Miami. Goff had just 170 passing yards and one interception in Week 9. Now on the season, Goff has 15 passing touchdowns and two interceptions, completing nearly 67 percent of his passes.
It’s important to remember that we are far enough in the season for us to take a more aerial view of QB performances this year. This shaky performance from Goff does not change how incredible he has been this year, as you should still look at him as being firmly in the MVP race.
And while this may seem like an odd thing to say, I would not be shocked if the eventual league MVP was the NFC North winning QB, and that could be Goff, who continues to be a high-end, efficient passer.
