Peacock argues Brock Purdy is definitely a top-12 quarterback but belongs in the eight-to-12 range rather than higher, so PFF's No. 10 ranking is fair. He also thinks Joey Bosa's retirement talk is a negotiating ploy and that he'll end up playing in 2026.

Too vague to check — we could not tell what would count as right.
