Brock's IAY was near identical to Jimmy's this past yr. Not sure what everyone is debating? Does he push the ball downfield? Overall not really…never did in college either. It's still a small sample size, so we will see how it goes this yr.
I think his draft overview was right on par…
"Four-year starter who was never able to improve upon a stellar sophomore campaign. Purdy is a burly pocket quarterback who needs a play-action based offense where he can rely on timing over release quickness and arm strength. He can be a confident passer when he finds his rhythm, but throwing is more of a chore than a talent thanks to a labored release. Certain areas of the field will be off limits as he moves up to take on NFL coverage talent. He's a scrappy runner but not dynamic enough to make up for his shortcomings as a passer."
IMO the offensive play calling with Jimmy to Brock doesn't change much at all. I think the one area that Brock helps this team more than Jimmy was the scrambling ability…I also think he's got to have a better internal clock and anticipation back there. I feel like that can be said for a TON of rookie QBs though.
Brock played way better than Jimmy imo and this was the best Jimmy we've seen since 2017.
Brock as a rookie made plays we've rarely seen Jimmy make whether moving around better to avoid sacks or actually getting rid of the ball(couple in spectacular fashion) and like I said before the biggest thing to me why Brock isn't afraid of taking shots was the Seahawks game when he took the shot to Aiyuk who was singled up vs taking Deebo on the open crosser for shorter gain. Jimmy takes that crosser 100/100 times.
Now having said all that we have to see more from Brock. Not only how he looks after the serious injury but to see if he can stay ahead of some of his tendencies that other teams will look to capitalize on.
Honestly it wouldn't shock me if other teams try to replicate what Philly did and take their chances not reacting to PA and just go and attack. Jimmy was never the same in the pocket after the ACL. Can Brock be the guy we saw last year? If so then yes it's going to be hard for Trey to see the field here.
That doesn't mean Trey won't be as good or even a better QB once he gets time to develop but if Brock is showing the team he can execute at the high level we saw last season then the team will have to roll with him. Trey may end up finding his spot with another team and perhaps once the 49ers lose some talent around Brock after paying him maybe they go on to regret not holding onto Trey but we'll see.
To me I know how much impact CMC had on this offense. I want to see all the QBs get to play in this offense with him and the other weapons we have. We have to get this QB decision right. Shouldn't be handing anyone the job at this point.
I hope Trey brings it and his new work with mechanics shows big results. I hope Brock is back healthy and picking up where he left off and I even hope Darnold looks like the guy he was expected to be when the jets drafted him.
I just want a top tier QB to help us win the whole damn thing!
