As far as I'm concerned, neither has proven they can or can't play. It's just too small of a sample size. If Brock plays like he did last year for an entire year and then does it again in 2024 then I'll feel like we have a real solid QB. Seven games isn't enough to convince me. Same for Trey. Until I've seen enough to know for sure that he can't play in the NFL I'll just wait and see.
I've seen this picture too many times to jump on a band wagon only to get let down. It's been a long time since we've had a QB that's played well 2 or more seasons in a row or even stayed healthy 2 straight seasons.
There's no "Purdy vs Trey" argument.
Brock is QB1 and he'll probably be our FQB.
Trey is only fighting to secure QB2.
Nice projection after 7 starts. We still don't know if he can repeat what he did last year and again the following year. We don't know if he can stay healthy. Those are requirements for a franchise QB. He doesn't have some of the skills that a true franchise QB possesses but he has the mental part down. Let's see if he can keep on overcoming his lack of speed and arm strength. If you look at him objectively he is very similar to JG in physical skills. Even if Jimmy had stayed healthy he wasn't considered a franchise QB. Almost everyone looked at him as somewhere between 12 and 15. Some had him between 15-20. That doesn't mean the team can't win. They just need to keep a lot of good talent around him because he's not going to take over a game with his physical tools. Have a strong defense that will keep the scoring down and they'll always have a chance.
We've been ove rand ove rLance's issues. It really comes down to experience or lack of it. There's no question about his physical skills but his limitations show u in live action. He looked better last night but he still has a long way to go.
The Purdy vs Trey argument will happen if Brock falters thus season or next season and Trey shows improvement. Right now there isn't an argument about which one should start but the team always needs to be looking 2,3 or 4 years down the road.
^ this drives me nuts. People discrediting Purdy because a half season of being one of the best QBs in the NFL, and by some measures the best QB in the NFL, isn't enough, meanwhile Trey gets excuses because he hasn't played enough. Just go with what what your eyes and the results are showing you. So far, Purdy has delivered incredibly, fantastically beyond the expectation of 32 GMs in the league, and so far, Trey has been disappointing, probably below what all 32 GMs were expecting - especially in a KS offense. Things can change, but we should not be making excuses for winners and we should not be making excuses for losers. Our QBs are what their stats say they are. With the exception of Trey's "fake" TD last week, lol.
While I fully agree that Purdy is the better talent atm and it's not even questionable Purdy gets passes for missing TD's while Trey get's called fake TD's.
Dude, take a statistics class. When you extract a sample from the Population (capital P), it does not represent the Population. I can play the exact same game with Tom Brady if you want me to, cherry picking a suboptimal play and then extrapolating that he's the worst of all time. Or you can successfully run a candy store and then extrapolate that you can therefore run all of Walmart. It just doesn't work that way.
First off, the play above was almost a TD and was not that bad of a play. Second, if you look at the body of Purdy's work, both in college and the NFL, he's a rock star so far, and the best predictor of future performance is past performance. All things considered, Purdy kicked ass in yesterday's game.
Dude talking about statistics classes and says Trey has disappointed with only 3 f**king nonconsevutive starts in his career. Sample size is far too low to come to any conclusions on Trey Lance whether good or bad.
Brock played great last year, was contained vs Dallas, and sadly we didn't get to see how he'd fare against another elite defense in the NFC title game. I wanted to see if he would be contained yet again like the Cowboys d was able to do or if he got back to his prior norm of putting up 30 a game. We needed that data point on him as getting to and winning the title game and just getting to the SB means nothing. Only winning the SB matters so we need to know whether Brock is the type of guy w the physocal tools and upside who can actually beat Mahomes in a SB and not be able to be contained no matter how good the defense.
Put bluntly, 3 career NFL starts is not even close to enough sample size to make judgments on his play being disappointing - I think his play has been pretty damn good for being so crazy raw out of college and essentially only 2 starts in typical conditions. If he gets reps he will ultimately be better than Brock imo due to his physical tools that Brock just doesn't have. There's a reason Trey was drafted #3 and Brock #250. Brock is a system qb who fits great into our system. Is Brock the next Tom Brady that can win SBs as a late round draft pick? He betting f**king well be if we're going to prevent Trey a top 3 draft pick w superior physical tools at his disposal from getting the one thing he needs which is game experience.
Purdy ran the offense in yesterday's game and made one top level throw. It was nothing to write home about other than he looks ready to play Week 1 and make the actual tough throws he made last year. But let's not pretend he did anything special on that drive w two one yard screens giving most of the yardage on the drive. Brock did do special things last year so let's reserve the he kicked ass comments for play that deserves it.
