I don’t think a single NFL team would take Purdy over Lamar. Seriously

I'm not so sure, not even trying to be a hater. Even if for arguments sake we say Purdy/Jackson make the same salary.
2019 regular season Jackson was absolutely fantastic and deserving of the MVP title with 66.1% completion, 3,127 pass yards, 36TD/6INT, and 1,207 rush yards & 7TDs with 6.9ypc. Outside of this one amazing season Jackson has never had any other great seasons passing, only eclipsing the 3,000 yard mark 1 other time. That said they finished 2019 with the #1 seed and lost their first game to #4 seed Tennessee. With Jackson as starter Ravens are 2-5 in the playoffs. QB play is never the only reason a team wins or loses, but when you have a QB that has some limitations passing consistently from the pocket you have to compensate & build your team & spend money in other areas accordingly. As of this point you also have to consider after 6 seasons of Jackson that he has hit his ceiling and is slowly going down, just logical from up at the peak 2019 season, and he will get you a great regular season record but going against playoff caliber defenses & coaches more often than not they can game plan to contain his offense.

Purdy in only 2 seasons has proven to be very poised in the pocket and takes what the defense gives him and is an efficient passer.

Purdy had a better completion %, more yards and more TDs than Jackson this year. You know the most important stats when it comes to QB play.

If Lamar had the same story as Purdy, NFC championship first year and Super Bowl second year all while being Mr Irrelevant you would not hear about anything else.
