From the episode

He is first in EPA per drop back at 0.63. Imagine every time your quarterback is dropping back, your score on the little ticker on TV just goes up by, you know, a sixth of a point or no, six tenths of a point. Like that, that is massive. Like second place in the entire league is 0.44. He's at 0.63. Like he's damn near 50% over second place. That is a ridiculous number. Nine touchdowns, only one pick.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Purdy's 0.63 EPA per play is 50% better than second place; MVP frontrunner.

Purdy is putting up MVP-caliber numbers through three weeks: third in completion percentage over expectation at +7.5%, second in yards per attempt at 9.5, first in passer rating at 133.1, and first in EPA per play at 0.63—nearly 50% higher than second place (0.44). He has nine touchdowns and one interception with a 22.5% pressure rate, the lowest of any QB with 50+ dropbacks. The source states: 'this is MVP numbers right here. If they sustain it for a large stretch of the season, he's going to be an MVP front runner because this is ridiculous.'
