I saw two different analysts react to the Purdy first down throw to Deebo facing Safety blitz differently.

Jonnydel: "This show's Purdy's incredible quickness and escapability"

QB School: "Nice play by Purdy, but where is the hot route? Nobody is even turning their head to look for the ball."

While the play did indicate Purdy's quickness on display throughout his game, it's also true that QBs are generally helped by having hot routes. I'm much more inclined to go with the criticism than the praise.

Greg Cosell was on Colin Cowherd's show yesterday. This guy is hyper critical of what he sees. He heaped praise on Purdy for his ability to quickly diagnose route concepts against specific defenses. 

I'm "putting Purdy in the Hall of Fame." I've seen enough. Purdy is a modern day Joe Montana. The only thing missing is a resume of Montana-like accomplishments and the required longevity. But given he has the abilities he does, it seems like just a matter of time before he adds them. Hell, if he didn't get hurt in the NFC championship game, Brock Purdy might have a couple of them already.

I will make a bold prediction. After the Thursday Night Football game against the Giants, Purdy will go from questioned upstart to redefining the position of QB, not by doing spectacularly impressive athletic things, but by just being an elite pocket operator and maker of the simple plays. So much emphasis has been put on pure athletic profile at the position - Kyle Shanahan even fell for it with Trey Lance - that it is time for a correction and Purdy will be the epitome of it.
