00:00 Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud is tired of seeing Brock Purdy get disrespected by
00:04 NFL fans.
00:06 After all, the Niners made it to Las Vegas in large part due to the play of their second-year
00:10 quarterback.
00:11 Over the last two seasons, many have called the former Mr. Irrelevant overrated or a game
00:15 manager, crediting the majority of the team's success to the elite roster that surrounds
00:20 him.
00:21 However, in a recent interview ahead of the big game, Houston Texans quarterback Stroud
00:25 revealed his thoughts on Purdy and why he is tired of those narratives.
00:29 He shared after watching Purdy's highlights, he considered most of his passes to be great,
00:33 going on to say there's nothing basic about being an NFL quarterback and there's nothing
00:37 easy about it either, even if someone is wide open.
00:41 Purdy might not have the big flash and perceived big play ability as Lamar Jackson or Dak
00:46 Prescott, but he did put up elite numbers in the 2023 regular season.
00:52 Purdy ranked fifth in the NFL in passing yards with 4,280, fourth in completing percentage,
00:58 third in touchdowns and first in QBR ratings, all elite numbers, better across the board
01:03 than the MVP Lamar Jackson and his Super Bowl counterpart Patrick Mahomes.
01:08 That said, Stroud doesn't have to look at the numbers to see how good Purdy has been,
01:12 noting how difficult it is to do what he has been doing consistently as an NFL quarterback.
01:18 Now in just his second year in the league, Purdy will face off against Mahomes on Sunday
01:23 in hopes of winning his first Super Bowl.
01:25 another thing about the quarterback that is anything but average.
