I do want to give the PP a bit more credit here even though these appear pretty accurate even by the eye test.

Brock currently has a 2.81 TTT (NextGen) which is middle of the pack. Typically under Kyle, all of his QB's have been top 5 in fastest TTT...like Tagovailoa in Miami (#1 @ 2.36) rendering PP as moot as possible.

In addition, Brock is 12th in air yards @ 8.3. In short, by holding the ball longer, and attempting longer intermediate and deeper passes, it puts more stress on PP (the whole unit).

Context.

I agree....that passes the eye test....

There is time to throw (subjective, how long till pressure effects the QB) and time till throw, the latter tracks from snap to throw what the actual time is.

Brock's time till throw (according to FantasyPros) is 2.6 seconds, that is way up from earlier in the season when he was at floating between 2.2 and 2.3 for like half the season. That more or less tracks with the eyeball test. Early in the season we were all commenting how we are not seeing rolls to the left or right or anything.

No one in the NFL has as many 20-30-40-50 combine completions. Brock is tied for 13th for completions 10 yards or less. He is 2nd in 20+, 2nd in 30+, 1st in 40+ and 10th in 50+ ( he has 2 and there are 9 people that are tied with 3) He simply is not looking short, and is holding onto the ball.

Brock does invite pressure looking deep...but for the most part it is working.

Agree💯%, it makes sense that Brock is going for the gusto by throwing longer. His accuracy is insane. It's Drew Brees level.

Just FYI

Brees Last full season he hit 74% of his throws. He had 58 20+ throws, 18 30+ throws, 6 40+ throws.

Compared to a partial season by Brock hitting 70% of his throws with 43 20+ throws, 17 30+throws, 7 40+ throws.

Unless Brock goes down odds are he is going to have more deeper throws than Brees, he already has as many 50+ yard throws...they both have 2, he has more 40+ throws already and will likely have significantly more 30+ yard throws.

Great points. So how does one reconcile Kyle's accurate short passing game centered around the play action run game, vs Purdy's insane long range Brees-like accuracy? I don't know personally, I watched Montana and Young and have never had entertained the thought of tweaking Walsh's offense to add more long ball dimensions under either legendary QB's. But the way Purdy's playing, if Kyle gets more speedsters a la Danny Gray for Purdy, I wouldn't argue - so long as Kyle also drafts the requisite offensive linemen that can hold their pass protections longer. Brock's pinpoint accuracy is just simply *insane.*

Don't get me wrong. I live Kyle's short passing play action game centering around a wonderful back like CMC. I think it's a great system. Great Balance, between pass and run. Great all weather offense - good in bad weather and great in good weather. I think Kyle has a genius in picking running backs from the Kmart Discount Employment Bulltin board ads, so I wouldn't want wholesale changes in his offense - it's plenty good already. It's just that Brock's passing skills are just so *insane.*

+ Show all quotes
I don't think Kyle's passing game is as centered around playaction as much as it used to be. Brock is ranked 21st in playaction dropback rate at 24.1%. Jimmy was ranked 4th in the league in 2019 his only full season at 31.9%. Jimmy had a handful of seasons in his career where he was well over 30%. But even Jimmy for the last 2 seasons with us he had a playaction dropback rate of 27.5% in 2021 and 22.0% in 2022.

24% is still a big number in terms of play calls though. One reason is simply that the 49ers actually can run the ball against 8 man fronts now with the kind of misdirections that the two headed Deebo/CMC WideBack's can offer against a defense.

Not compared to 20 other teams in the NFL though.

There are 32 NFL teams running different systems. Each to his own. I don't think Kyle has changed his offensive system, is my point. 24% is one Quarter of all the playcalls he can make. If you consider Kyle keeping as close to a 50/50 run-pass balance, that climbs to 50% just on the passing side of the equation.

Now if I'm reading your % breakdowns wrong and its 24% of only pass attempts, its still a big number.

I get you.....

I stand corrected.

I did not know we are on the "of all time" soapbox...

There are many many. years, with multiple o-lines, and weapon sets in Brock's future.... Could he beat Brees maybe, but that is a hell of a leap that has a lot of moving parts not named Brock Purdy.

I was championing right now, this QB with this offense and this skill player group. Right now Purdy is putting up better than peak Brees numbers throwing down the field. That does not mean he will do it later this year, next year or 5 years from now. Can he? Yes ....... Will he? Who knows....

Purdy is amazing, but when looking at all time numbers...alot has to go right for Brock to keep that up. Who knows maybe he gets the next Randy Moss and he obliterates the standard, maybe we go half a decade before we fix the loss of our LT when that time comes and every week is a gamble....we just don't know.

//// I love this Brees Talk BTW...an absolute Favorite of Bill Walsh, Brees was a player he thought he could start young and had all the tools to be a superbowl caliber QB. Walsh was 100% all in on Brees and was very public about it

Keep in mind Purdy is at the level of Brees accuracy with a mediocre OLine.

Here are a couple examples from Lombardi who's showing how Brock is significantly masking the right side of the OL (despite us knowing that's the major weakness).

In fact Brock's reaching an escapability level of two QB's in the past who max out transcending poor pass protection: Mahomes and Burrow. He's straight up, a massive outlier right now (graph). There's only so much you can transcend and Brock appears to be at a max level right now.

It's probably not fair to keep expecting that for 6+ games so I hope Kyle can find some answers quick for that right side of the OL and unit pass protection overall or it's going to cost us big time in the end.

Dropbacks not attempts. The statement was that Kyle's passing game is centered around playaction. If that were true, 63% of the league wouldn't be running more playaction than a coach who apparently centers his passing game around playaction. That may have been true back in 2019 when he was at the top of the league when it was damn near 1/3 of all dropbacks. Its just not true today when the % of playaction dropbacks is now less than 1/4 and is lower than majority of the league two years in a row now.

Playaction helps receivers get separation. We have a great WR corp now and that is my guess for why we no longer run playaction as much as we used to. More about the WR's than it is about the O line, QB or system imo.

Interesting about lane Johnson

the Eagles are 88-48-1 with him and 13-22 without him in the starting lineup

That may be one reason Kyle doesn't have to play action, simply because defenses *have* to play a base defense instead of nickel on Kyle's offense. Hence Kyle doesn't have to play action so much, as just a much more simple drop back off a the shotgun formation (for example). The fact that play action has been reduced in terms of percentage playcalls, doesn't mean it's *not* centered around the play action passing game.

Brock is also much more proficient in the offense now vs his first year. The Offense, in an sense, is evolving as Purdy gets more comfortable with the deeper more complicated parts of Kyle's offense. That may also be the other reason of less play action now than previously. I know Green Bay under Aaron was simply impossible to stop because of the option routes that his receivers could run based on the coverages the defenses run. Same with Montana and the Old Walsh offenses, they could not be stopped if both the WR and the QB were on the same page reading the defenses. If it's zone, Kittle drops in between the zones, and if man coverage Kittle runs a twist route (for example) and depending on the DB leverage, Kittle and Purdy have to be on the same page so Purdy can throw it to the correct spot (again for example).

Purdy dropping back (without play action) from - for example - the shotgun formation, gives Purdy an edge over a team playing base defense - if in 21 personnel with CMC and Deebo being both WideBacks that can double as WR's and RB's at the same time. Just based on formation, Kyle's 21 personnel can go 4 wide in a jiffy.

This doesn't make any logical sense to me. Because centered to me means that everything else plays off of it. Which doesn't seem to be the case from what I can tell. We don't use playaction to set everything else up. Playaction is simply a tool in the tool box for when LB's and safeties start to overplay our running game. I see it ran a few times a game but not any amount that really sticks out to me. After looking at the numbers. Brock is averaging 31 dropbacks a game. At 24.1% playction rate, that's 7 dropbacks per game. Less than 1 per drive.

I think Kyle has a genius in picking running backs from the Kmart Discount Employment Bulltin board ads, so I wouldn't want wholesale changes in his offense - it's plenty good already. It's just that Brock's passing skills are just so *insane.*

I don't think Kyle's passing game is as centered around playaction as much as it used to be. Brock is ranked 21st in playaction dropback rate at 24.1%. Jimmy was ranked 4th in the league in 2019 his only full season at 31.9%. Jimmy had a handful of seasons in his career where he was well over 30%. But even Jimmy for the last 2 seasons with us he had a playaction dropback rate of 27.5% in 2021 and 22.0% in 2022.

24% is still a big number in terms of play calls though. One reason is simply that the 49ers actually can run the ball against 8 man fronts now with the kind of misdirections that the two headed Deebo/CMC WideBack's can offer against a defense.

Not compared to 20 other teams in the NFL though.

There are 32 NFL teams running different systems. Each to his own. I don't think Kyle has changed his offensive system, is my point. 24% is one Quarter of all the playcalls he can make. If you consider Kyle keeping as close to a 50/50 run-pass balance, that climbs to 50% just on the passing side of the equation.

Now if I'm reading your % breakdowns wrong and its 24% of only pass attempts, its still a big number.

Dropbacks not attempts. The statement was that Kyle's passing game is centered around playaction. If that were true, 63% of the league wouldn't be running more playaction than a coach who apparently centers his passing game around playaction. That may have been true back in 2019 when he was at the top of the league when it was damn near 1/3 of all dropbacks. Its just not true today when the % of playaction dropbacks is now less than 1/4 and is lower than majority of the league two years in a row now.

I still think Play action is a big part of Kyle's offense. Kyle's offense is 6th in running on the ground with a 4.5 yard average means that defenses can't tee off on Purdy and his passing. That may be one reason Kyle doesn't have to play action, simply because defenses *have* to play a base defense instead of nickel on Kyle's offense. Hence Kyle doesn't have to play action so much, as just a much more simple drop back off a the shotgun formation (for example). The fact that play action has been reduced in terms of percentage playcalls, doesn't mean it's *not* centered around the play action passing game.

This doesn't make any logical sense to me. Because centered to me means that everything else plays off of it. Which doesn't seem to be the case from what I can tell. We don't use playaction to set everything else up. Playaction is simply a tool in the tool box for when LB's and safeties start to overplay our running game. I see it ran a few times a game but not any amount that really sticks out to me. After looking at the numbers. Brock is averaging 31 dropbacks a game. At 24.1% playction rate, that's 7 dropbacks per game. Less than 1 per drive.

I just rewatched the opening first drive of the Seattle game - I counted two play action passes. So I don't know where you are getting your stats from.

True Pass Set Pressure Rate rankings by True Pass Set Snaps.

I do want to give the PP a bit more credit here even though these appear pretty accurate even by the eye test.

Brock currently has a 2.81 TTT (NextGen) which is middle of the pack. Typically under Kyle, all of his QB's have been top 5 in fastest TTT...like Tagovailoa in Miami (#1 @ 2.36) rendering PP as moot as possible.

In addition, Brock is 12th in air yards @ 8.3. In short, by holding the ball longer, and attempting longer intermediate and deeper passes, it puts more stress on PP (the whole unit).

Context.

I agree....that passes the eye test....

There is time to throw (subjective, how long till pressure effects the QB) and time till throw, the latter tracks from snap to throw what the actual time is.

Brock's time till throw (according to FantasyPros) is 2.6 seconds, that is way up from earlier in the season when he was at floating between 2.2 and 2.3 for like half the season. That more or less tracks with the eyeball test. Early in the season we were all commenting how we are not seeing rolls to the left or right or anything.

No one in the NFL has as many 20-30-40-50 combine completions. Brock is tied for 13th for completions 10 yards or less. He is 2nd in 20+, 2nd in 30+, 1st in 40+ and 10th in 50+ ( he has 2 and there are 9 people that are tied with 3) He simply is not looking short, and is holding onto the ball.

Brock does invite pressure looking deep...but for the most part it is working.

Agree💯%, it makes sense that Brock is going for the gusto by throwing longer. His accuracy is insane. It's Drew Brees level.

Just FYI

Brees Last full season he hit 74% of his throws. He had 58 20+ throws, 18 30+ throws, 6 40+ throws.

Compared to a partial season by Brock hitting 70% of his throws with 43 20+ throws, 17 30+throws, 7 40+ throws.

Unless Brock goes down odds are he is going to have more deeper throws than Brees, he already has as many 50+ yard throws...they both have 2, he has more 40+ throws already and will likely have significantly more 30+ yard throws.

Great points. So how does one reconcile Kyle's accurate short passing game centered around the play action run game, vs Purdy's insane long range Brees-like accuracy? I don't know personally, I watched Montana and Young and have never had entertained the thought of tweaking Walsh's offense to add more long ball dimensions under either legendary QB's. But the way Purdy's playing, if Kyle gets more speedsters a la Danny Gray for Purdy, I wouldn't argue - so long as Kyle also drafts the requisite offensive linemen that can hold their pass protections longer. Brock's pinpoint accuracy is just simply *insane.*

Because of two plays on the opening drive in 1 of 11 games so far this season makes your case for a trend?

The fact that play action has been reduced in terms of percentage playcalls, doesn't mean it's *not* centered around the play action passing game.

This doesn't make any logical sense to me. Because centered to me means that everything else plays off of it. Which doesn't seem to be the case from what I can tell. We don't use playaction to set everything else up. Playaction is simply a tool in the tool box for when LB's and safeties start to overplay our running game. I see it ran a few times a game but not any amount that really sticks out to me. After looking at the numbers. Brock is averaging 31 dropbacks a game. At 24.1% playction rate, that's 7 dropbacks per game. Less than 1 per drive.

I just rewatched the opening first drive of the Seattle game - I counted two play action passes. So I don't know where you are getting your stats from.

Because of two plays on the opening drive in 1 of 11 games so far this season makes your case for a trend?

Yeah, specially if you can't tell me where you are getting your stats.

If you did you would still argue it lol. All of this just to make Jimmy look better

Wrong thread.
