Purdy recorded his 100th career passing touchdown in his 57th career game, faster than Jeff Garcia's 66 career games, Young's 81 career games, or Montana's 86 career games. But none of the aforementioned quarterbacks were atop the list before Purdy vaulted himself to the top on Sunday. That honor belonged to the great Frankie Albert, who recorded his 100th career passing touchdown during his 65th career game in 1950. “Yeah, I think it's really cool," Purdy said after the game. "Once I found out, I was like, ‘Oh, that's pretty cool.’ So, something that I don't want to overlook. As a kid, if you were to tell me I'd be in the NFL and I get to throw 100 touchdowns, that's really cool. I'm extremely thankful for that."

Just since the first game he got in there," Kyle Shanahan said of his quarterback's feat . "That's why I always struggle at the beginning of the year when everyone's asking me [if] I can believe how good he's playing and how much better he's improved... Brock's been the man since he's come in and that's a pretty unbelievable deal considering where he was drafted, how he started. Very fortunate to have Brock." It only took 76 years for a new touchdown record-setter to emerge for the 49ers. If all goes well for Purdy and the 49ers, it will be far quicker than 76 years until he sets the franchise record for the fastest to 200 career passing touchdowns.
