Rex "Two-Point" GridleyBrock Purdy is the all-time NFL career passer rating leader, and the Niners beat Washington twenty-three to seventeen to get him there.
Vera BullockIs that the rating where you get a score for being polite to the other team?
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyNo. It's passes caught, yards, touchdowns, picks. He's at one oh five point six, ahead of Lamar Jackson at one oh two point seven.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyLook, I'm telling you, that's a lot of daylight.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyHe needed five more attempts to qualify, and one report said even five straight interceptions would still have given him the record.
Vera BullockSo he could have thrown it to the other team five times and still got the trophy?
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyFive. In a row. And the record's still his.
Vera BullockRex, a passer rating that counts five straight picks as a win is a participation ribbon with a helmet.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyHe went with the two sixty-second overall pick, dead last in his draft class. Twenty-one of twenty-nine, two sixty-four yards, no picks.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyNobody gets to call that a ribbon.
Vera BullockSo the best passer ever was picked last, and the team's still in gold. Very good colour, though.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyDr. Byte has a gadget to review, and I hope it throws better than my arm.
