Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson both 1st team all pro

AJBrown, Bradbury, Reddick 2nd team all pro

That supposed singular player has a dam good team around him

The closest was probably Washington at home. 

     And in addition to Washington (DVOA:9th, 37-20), New Orleans (8th), though the latter was hardly a scoring fest (13-0).

We were referring to Brock Purdy. You criticize Jalen Hurts because he's more of a "risk taker" but the Eagles went 14-1 in games that he started and he threw 6 interceptions on 460 passing attempts (1.3%). While Purdy had 4 interceptions in 7 games on 170 attempts (2.4%) so despite him "playing within the offense" he had nearly as many interceptions as Hurts in less than half the starts and turned the ball over at twice the rate Hurts did this season.

More than just damned good.  Top two on paper and on the field! 

And they did manage to beat the Dak-less Cowboys.  So, S.F. with Brock is 2-0 versus top 9 defenses compared to Philly's 1*-3 with an asterisk.

5.5 rounded up to 6. 

He hasn't done anything wrong, per se, to warrant less than a 5/10, but he hasn't had to do a whole lot to begin with. 

If he plays well against Philly, I'd be inclined to give him a full 7 for the Superbowl.
