San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been labeled a “game manager” despite leading the team to significant victories.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Moon emphasized that every quarterback is a game manager, but what sets apart great players is their ability to improvise and make game-changing plays.
Moon said, “First of all, every quarterback is a game manager.”
“When you put a game plan in in the beginning of the week, and you go through every day all the different things you’re involved in that game plan — whether it’s the audibles, whether it’s the protections, whether it’s the different plays you put in — the quarterback is the one who is going to manage all that,” he continued.
“So, every quarterback is a manager. But everybody has different things that they’re managing and involved in,” explained the retired NFL quarterback.
“What makes the special quarterback special is when you can take whatever is called in that huddle and that breaks down, somebody rushes through or you’re able to get outside the pocket buy some more time, run, scramble, make some yards … those are what separates ‘managers’ from the great players,” he added.
Purdy’s performance in the playoffs has been solid, and Moon has been involved in various community initiatives through the NFL Alumni Association.
Moon said, “There’s a lot of different things we’re doing. We just care about what’s going on in the communities with young kids and with people in general.”
