There was one play, in one of his first two starts (maybe the MIA game), where RayRay and another player went in motion. Had the ball been snapped, it would have been illegal motion/shift. So he told RayRay to stop his motion, get set, then the ball was snapped. Had Brock just gone with it, there would have been a penalty. He changed the play mid-motion presnap.

That's called football IQ.

And yet some posters want an unproven commodity to start over him only because of the draft capital invested and the "intangibles" he supposedly possesses.

The writing has been on the wall since last year during a 7 game span that saw the hand of god appear before us.

I haven't' made my mind up yet. I was a massive supporter for the Trey pick. Doesn't mean I don't appreciate what Brock did BUT you talk like Brock is some multi-year Vet. This story is not complete yet. Just as Trey's isn't.

I get what you're saying and respect your opinion/stance on it. It's a fair one, although I slightly disagree.

Purdy deserves to be talked about like he's a multi year vet because that's all he's ever looked like, very polished/decisive. Trey has looked like a rookie in his limited play.

i would be more inclined to give Trey more chances, because it's not necessarily his fault with a lot of the circumstances, but My thought is - when you see someone do something historic and special, like Purdy did, searching for a FQB is over (or at least on hold) until that player proves otherwise.

trey will start the season (barring training camp injury) and get the chance to start showcasing his growth - but I'd be surprised if the teams mindset isn't "it's Purdys team until he proves it isn't". So Trey could have a few good games and still be benched when Purdy is ready. Trey would have to blow peoples mind, like Purdy did, to hold onto
the job - THATS JUST MY OPINION, which doesn't mean Jack. Lol

Purdy didn't just play well, he played historically well and had this offense operating as literally the #1 offense in the league when he was in. He blew out every bad team he played and outplayed the good teams. He operated like a 7 year vet who's been a perennial all pro.

Couple all of that with his contract, and I think you give that player EVERY. SINGLE. CHANCE. Before even considering movin on.

Pure stupidity not to start purdy, he proven he can win in the playoffs, this team ready to win the superbowl , you don't gamble that position with someone unproven like lance
I wish we could have saw what Purdy had in the NFCCG - it would have been a war and I bet things would have looked a lot different. I am 100 percent on board with Purdy getting the nod at QB1

The defense was playing lights out but got wore down. Brock was looking good before the injury. I think we would of won - and that's not a knock on Philly, they're a really good team, but I don't think they would of had a good chance to beat us with hurts arm busted up.

Got to go with Brocky.
Here's my take.. I think I saw enough out of Brock to say he is our starter if healthy. He possesses a lot of the attributes that we loved out of Jimmy early on with the ability to take care of the football; something that Jimmy struggled with. Add the fact that Brock could move and shift his hips in ways that Jimmy never could have, even 2017 the amazing run Jimmy had, I think I would give the edge to Brock with his ability to get out of a sack and even more on his ability to run and pick up a first down. Now, I do believe that Lance still has a higher ceiling! What does that ceiling look like? We won't know unless he plays. I do think that this offseason Kyle should allow them to battle considering they are coming off of serious injuries, Treys knee and Brocks elbow. It may come down to who recovers quicker and can STAY healthy.

There's no need for a battle, Brock has already claimed that since last year, when he showed the Niners and the football world what god has given us.

Lance will have his second straight year of training camp first team reps and should be healthy all training camp. I might be mistaken but idk if Brock will be able to participate in training camp - someone correct me if I'm wrong on that. I wasn't sure if he could compete after the first three months because the next three would be rehabbing.

i view it as Lance will get all the first team reps in camp (darnold all second team reps) and then Brock will miss the first 2-3 games. After that, depending on how he looks in practice - if he will get the job Back.
so I guess I was mistaken, looks like Brock will be able to participate in training camp, but not in the traditional fashion. It'll be super interesting how kyle does this. I think if his recovery has no set backs - he will start week 1. So not as bad as I initially thought.

"And while Lance is expected to be ready in time for offseason activities, Purdy, who just had his UCL repaired in his throwing arm done last Friday, is officially on the clock for the reported six-month recovery and rehab time expected given the nature of the surgery.

For those of you doing math at home, six months from Purdy's surgery date of March 10 is roughly Sept. 10, which is the exact date the Niners' first regular-season game is likely to happen unless they are tapped to start their season on Monday Night Football one day later.

This means that Purdy would need to proceed with no setbacks during his initial three-month recovery time and no issues in his build-up to throwing over the final three months leading up to the season. You also wouldn't expect a normal training camp or preseason for Purdy as he continues to work on his rehab."

It really will play out perfectly for us and Purdy.

I feel better now. I was a little down thinking he wouldn't be able to do ANYTHING with the team until 6 months from now.

I was reading that usually players arms are actually improved after this kind of surgery and rehab, which would be amazing. I hope he is able to work on timing etc with the guys sooner than later - if his arm strength and velocity improves, he will need reps with the guys to get back into his rhythm and anticipation.

He has all OTAs and TC to get that elbow strong and ready for Sept. 10th.
