Purdy's 13.4% explosive pass rate leads the NFL, far exceeding the point-guard narrative.

Purdy's average target travels about 8 yards, ranking 18th among 50 qualifying quarterbacks, contradicting the narrative that he merely distributes the ball. His passes have produced gains of at least 20 yards on 13.4% of his attempts — the highest explosive pass rate in the NFL over that span by a shockingly wide margin. He has completed 55.5% of his throws traveling at least 15 yards, compared with 36.2% for Jimmy Garoppolo in the same offense.
