San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has become the subject of a football culture war that calls to mind Tom Brady’s early career

John Sutter : It's time for Brock Purdy to receive his comeuppance.

He says Purdy has been on a magic carpet ride the likes of a young Tom Brady .

Purdy is both a quarterback and a lottery winner, playing in a system with a cartoonishly good supporting cast and the best offensive coach in the world.

Frida Ghitis : 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has had some high-profile flourishes of luck.

She says it would be validating to see Purdy be punished at some point.

Ghitis says the NFL has so many incredible quarterbacks now that we’ve gotten hooked on watching them operate on a near-godly plane.

If you like the 49ers, you want this to continue, Ghitis writes.

No group of NFL fans other than your own deserves to taste victory.

It will be torturous to wallow in misery as 49ers fans enjoy confetti and the rest of us are left to rationalize how our teams with unspectacular QBs could win the Super Bowl too.
