Thank God for Brock Purdy

I subscribed to @sfstandard during the NFL season just for @LombardiHimself‘s unparalleled 49ers coverage and analysis.

I know there are hacks to get the content for free, but I wanted to support the best journalism in the sport.

(Unsubscribing for now as I’m not SF-based.)

@KatieMiller Ratio’s so hard

[@knep @knep]

@LombardiHimself + was in the hardest division of all time

[David Lombardi @LombardiHimself]

Show me a team that lost...

🏈High quality QB1 (#2 QBR) for 50% of year
🏈DPOY-level EDGE1
🏈HOF-level LB1
🏈HOF-level TE1 for 50% of year
🏈Top edge-setting DL (and first-round pick)
🏈WR1
🏈WR2 for 50% of year

.. and came close to 13 wins. Outside of 2025 49ers, you can't

[David Lombardi @LombardiHimself]

There’ll never be another 13-win team that was as shorthanded as the 2025 49ers

@ConnorJ_Delaney @LombardiHimself Both things can be true. Some fans can clap while others sing “goodbye.” The video in the community note doesn’t capture everything (it’s from the nosebleeds).

@benbbaldwin I want to see these graphs for just EPA.
PFF has sooo much bias and draftism.

@LombardiHimself Love seeing the KB and Purdy camaraderie! Amazing chemistry on field and both are Bourne again!

[Nate Silver @NateSilver538]

Actually most sports fans are a hell of a lot more normal than e.g. this dude

@LombardiHimself Terrible coaching decision... stafford completed 2/11 since hurting his finger. why put them in scoring position already?

For the 1st time in 25 years not a single square mile of California is dry on the US Drought Monitor. Have to go back to December 2000 to find a similar situation. If you're 25 or younger you've always lived in a world where California has been entering or recovering from drought

@joshelman Boo! Go Niners!!! Brock Purdy is HIM!

How many expected points did each #NFL team gain from penalties on plays that otherwise would’ve gone for no yardage?

1. NYG 51.9
2. DAL 42.3
3. WAS 37.4
...
32. SF 13.9

Nate Silver's new "QBERT" metric has Brock Purdy at #1 in the NFL at 113.6.

For perspective, Silver says a 100 score is "MVP-level" and a 110 score is "among the best QB seasons of all-time".

Top-3
1. Purdy: 113.6
2. Drake Maye: 109.3
3. Matthew Stafford: 104.1
