Much has been written about whether or not San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is good or not. While he's boasted some impressive numbers during his four years with the team, some aren't convinced of his talent.

Despite any misgivings from pundits and fans alike, though, the data proved one thing in 2025: Purdy was very unlucky with his throws. According to Pro Football Focus, the 49ers quarterback ranked No. 2 on their unlucky passer scale behind only Geno Smith. Purdy had 4.5 "extra" interceptions that he should have this past year, per PFF.
No quarterback in the 2025 dataset was hurt more by interception variance than this one. He produced just 12 turnover-worthy throws all season, yet nine turned into interceptions.
The bad breaks extended beyond his turnover-worthy throws, too, as four additional interceptions came on passes that were not deemed turnover-worthy. Nearly every form of interception variance swung against him. His official 95.0 passer rating would have climbed to 100.7 under league-average interception luck.
Some of that could be blamed on his lingering issues, or offensive line woes, or bad receiver play. Or it could just be plain bad luck. Whatever the case may be, Purdy proved that not everything was his fault in 2025 and that he's a good candidate for positive regression in 2026.
And now that he has a few savvy vets in tow, like Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, perhaps some of those issues that plagued the team in 2025 can be resolved this year.
