He's not elite since he needs a great supporting cast.
Chiefs are 1st in the NFL in dropped passes. Lions are 5th with only 6 fewer dropped passes. The Chiefs are also 2nd in the league in targets so their drop percentage is only 0.6% higher than the Lions. Hardly astronomical.
Narrative is everything. If Trey Lance were having the same season as Purdy, he would still be a no doubt MVP candidate. Goff is never going to be an MVP candidate. Dak is going to because he's a Cowboy, and because he's a Cowboy, he'll have an equal amount of haters.
Yup. 0-37 coming in when trailing by 8 or more entering the 4th. 1-31 when trailing by 3+ entering the 4th. Luckily for him the 49ers are leading more often than trailing, but all you have to do is get a lead on the 49ers.
The Chiefs have committed a lot of money to a QB that needs an elite OL, strong supporting cast, and an elite coordinator like Bieniemy to be successful.
