If yes, who would you take?
Mahomes. The offense would be incredible.
He's the only one I would even consider... but then I'm not sure HOW MUCH better he could actually make our offense. And then on top of that, Mahomes is older and has a fat contract. All things considered, I think I'd stick with Purdy even over Mahomes.
This is just a thought experiment that helps inform the conversation about Brock Purdy as an MVP candidate. Honestly, I don't think I would trade Brock for anybody... whatever limitations he has are not preventing him from leading the league in just about every relevant quarterback statistic. His processing is top-tier according to several current and former players, including Steve Young. Maybe I'm missing something, but I just can't imagine somebody else doing any better than Brock on this team.
First, we need to take Purdy's salary into consideration. Purdy's performance is much better than most QBs who have a bigger contract. Due to the salary cap, I think Purdy is the best one for us.
What if we can make the trade with no impact to the salary cap? Well, I would only consider Mahomes. He had proved his ability to throw accurately under pressure. Recall AFC Championship. https://www.espn.com/nfl/recap/_/gameId/401038850
