'Money Throw' > A pass requiring exceptional skill or athleticism as well as critical throws executed in clutch moments.

Go look it up. I mean if we're using PFF numbers that's one for QBs.

Already did that for him

LOL. What happened to, "I don't need Kurt Warner to think for me?"

Here's part II. Great stuff.


I don't need him to think for me. Haven't even watched the video. I watched the games, he took way more shots than Jimmy did. Stats that BayArea posted showed that.

You can just admit you were wrong. It's ok

Wait. If NCommand is saying the scheme didn't let the QB take shots, then the video he just posted disproves him. Are you sure that is what NCommand is arguing, or did he just not watch the whole video? Because in this video Warner shows that Purdy was still taking shots and chances in that game even after the large lead.

That was the other Kurt Warner video. Stay with the theme. Haha.

The second video also shows Purdy taking a bunch of shots. You're making me think you only watched the first two minutes.

You've completely missed the point. Both Warner and JTO have videos showing how the lack of outlets and the scheme put the QB at risk in this system. That's a Kyle-topic. But fans in here mocked both of those and said silly things like, "I don't need Warner to think for me." LOL

Now he's being referenced here because it matches their narrative.

I just saw the irony in that. All the videos were accurate, IMHO.

As to Brock, I'm not sure where the silly dink and dunk label came from (hence why I posted the second video as well). We never even had a RB outlet under Kyle until we traded for CMC. Is Brock more aggressive? Yes. But unless his name is Alex Smith, most rookies are by nature. They tend to become more conservative and cautious over time.

All they've shown is that on SOME plays there isn't a built in hot route.

I don't care about what they are arguing. Purdy completed more down the field air yards per pass than Jimmy. And more than Mahomes. That's a fact. Completed air yards per pass attempt:

Completed air yards per completion:
Jimmy: 4.8
Purdy: 5.9
Mahomes: 5.5

Completed air yards per attempt:
Jimmy: 3.2
Purdy: 3.9
Mahomes: 3.7

.
.

EDIT: Trey Lance.

That and the time it takes to execute some of those plays takes more time (with an OL built for run blocking and not pass protection). It also stresses the rest of the unit pass protection like TE's, FB's and RB's esp. when a defense knows not to bite on PA. In addition, if you stuff the run like the Rams, Dallas, etc., you kill Kyle's offense and again, put the QB at risk because the PP isn't built to hold in predictable PP scenarios and has a lower standard than RB. Hence, scheme is a very real reason for risk in the equation of QB health here...the worst in the league by a country mile. It's not the only reason but A reason.

As to Brock, I never agreed with the assertion Brock was a dink and dunk QB. But almost all rookies start out like this and then become more conservative over time, hence why most have super high INT to TD ratios. It's just something to watch for. Nothing more. And certainly nothing definitive either way.

As to Trey's air yards, all that says is he's got a low volume of throws but has a bomb in there somewhere which skews an average stat and that is why mobile QB's are always at the top of those lists. They also are at the high end of TTT naturally too for this reason.

Lance definitely prefers the down the field throws. That's not even debatable. The first game he had playtime on on a boot to the right he had an open tight end underneath, the first read on that play, yet despite backpedaling and being chased, he threw the deep crosser.

Maybe it's because he doesn't trust himself short. Maybe it's because there is less timing required on deep crossing routes and many deeper throws (the windows are larger because the defense is more spread out). But regardless of why, Trey prefers throwing deeper and outside.

EDIT: Trey Lance.

These stats mean nothing when you take into account how a team defends Mahomes vs our QBs. The coverages Mahomes sees is VASTLY different than what we see. Team are begging our guys to throw the ball downfield.

They mean something because Jimmy is in that comparison too.

Did he though? Did teams defend him any differently than Jimmy? IMO CMC transformed the offense more than Brock did.

You both kind of covered my point.

Taking Kyle's (set up via schemed up) 2-3 deep shots a game isn't going to affect much of anything. It certainly is unlikely to help the run game. It doesn't even guarantee more points on the board.

Hence why Kyle gets annoyed at the topic...why risk the big bomb when you can achieve the same thing on the end while wearing down your opponent, keeping their offense on the sidelines, and control the clock.

This is who Kyle is as an actual head coach and that's unlikely to change after this much time. I'd just focus more in the other 95% of the offense.

Kyle prefers the mini-explosive plays.
Unrelated:

I had a dream last night that Trey was playing early in the season (maybe weak two), and Purdy was back but they were being cautious and had him as the backup.

Trey is tearing it up. Three tds, nearing three hundred yards, but very few rushes. Just lots of PA and deep crossing routes. The 49ers are up by about 16.
And on third and about 6, Kyle calls a QB draw.

The defense is totally unprepared and Lance gets about 18 yards. And then rolls around on the grass. Broken ribs.

Purdy comes back in, is a bit rusty, but regains the starting job.

Lol would not surprise me.

Kyle has said he prefers a QB who takes the open down field guy over the open check down. He does not prefer marching down the field slowly unless it's with the run, and that is to set up the bomb.

Why do you insist on this false belief? JIMMY GAROPPOLO is the reason the offense started resembling the Patriots offense. Kyle wants to attack. He did it in Atlanta. He did it in Washington. He did it in Cleveland. He did it his first year with the 49ers. He did it with Trey Lance. He also did it with Purdy. Not a drive goes by where there aren't deep concepts.

I couldn't agree more. His style of play fits into that pattern of mobile QB's very well. His TTT and both air yards, IMHO, will always be up there with that group.

They, by nature, are going to buy as much time as possible and then air it out. Coaches will use that too (long PA, naked bootlegs, rolling pockets, etc.). Therefore the TTT will all increase and the shots will be deeper bumping up both average air yards stats.

Kyle called the long boots with Brock too. One in particular comes to mind is the INT against the Raiders.

I disagree to a point. Nothing about Kyle's player acquisition (until Trey) has demonstrated anything but the opposite. All 3 cone, short area quick and RAC receivers, receiving backs, run blockers, etc.

That doesn't mean he doesn't want to set up shot plays esp. if he happens to have a deep shot talent but he's much more conservative and controlled with them.

In addition, IIRC, it was Maiocco who asked him about that and he was pretty annoyed and went into what I noted above.

I'm sure if he had Tyreek Hill, Julio Jones or Jerry Rice, he'd use that skill set more. His predecessor did want that. Here? I'm not seeing it in actions in the personnel he's brought in after 7 years. Do you?

I believe Brock could run these too. I'm not sure if he can run a naked with him to the far right and have him throw 50 yards down field to the far left corner of the EZ but...

You might be able to sneak one or two of those with Jimmy (GB to Kittle) but it's not an actual or consistent threat where a DC might actually have to plan for it. It's a surprise shot. With Trey you could. Maybe Brock but I need to see more.

It's always a surprise shot. That play shouldn't be run too often with Trey either. At this point teams know we like to set that play up. It's all about the element of surprise. I think that Raiders corner was the first DB to be ready for that play and play it correctly

I get what your point. It does appear like Kyle acquire WR to get QB quick options. Which also helps out OL PP. especially now a days when pass rushing is relentless.

Also, reminds me of a conversation I seen on Twitter recently regarding WCO. I know Kyle has evolved from the bill Walsh early days, but I still believe he holds some of the same principles.




I thought I'd just throw in this funny video from Simms regarding his power throws lol

I would've loved to see how Bill would coach in today's NFL. There is a pretty cool conversation to be had in regards to whether the rules of today would make him adjust his philosophy.

No question deep stuff is called low % throws for a reason. They're harder to hit but with the rules being so pro offense today there is a much higher chance of a deep shot being a completion or PI than back in the 70s/80s. Defensive players are a lot faster and linebackers have for the most part gotten smaller to account for the passing game being so big now. I'd be curious if Bill would consider that a good thing for the WCO since you can power through those guys more than you could 250+ lb linebackers who hit like trucks or if their quickness would cause him to open things up down the field more.

I also wonder about Kyle's train of thought on the receivers he's brought in. How much was it due to Jimmy G's deficiencies? I don't think it's a coincidence that we drafted Gray soon as Trey was supposed to be QB1. It will be interesting how Gray looks moving forward and if he's considered irrelevant with Brock being the likely starter.
