There is no bigger game manager in the NFL than Patrick Mahomes. And, yes, Brock Purdy is a game manager, too. But that's a good thing.
It's impossible to know what someone means when they call a quarterback a 'game manager.' It's a Rorschach test in the form of football jargon. Is it an insult? Is it a compliment? Yes. Both. The problem with jargon like 'game manager' is that it is innately ambiguous. Anyone who thinks about the phrase literally thinks of a quarterback who manages the game for four quarters. In that case, they're talking about a quarterback operating at the highest level.
Heck, Purdy seems to be checking the ball down less often than Mahomes. Even with Kittle and McCaffrey, Purdy recorded 151 passes to his running backs and tight ends, the ninth most in the NFL, per FOX Sports research. Mahomes recorded 210, the most of any QB. You read that right: Mahomes is the Checkdown King of the NFL. Purdy is pushing the ball downfield, too.
