Brock Purdy is one of the most underpaid QBs in the league today, and that fact has helped the 49ers build up the rest of the roster with talent.

Quarterback Brock "Mr. Irrelevant" Purdy's cheap contract gives the San Francisco 49ers a huge advantage on and off the field in a salary cap league where teams have limited spending.
Purdy has impressive stats with the 49ers, leading the NFL in passer rating and ranking second in yards per attempt, showing his high level of play consistently.
The 49ers have an exceptional roster around Purdy, and his rookie deal allows the team to have flexibility and retain other key players.
