QB Brock Purdy Thread

#49ers HC Kyle Shanahan on Brock Purdy

"…he played at a level that was the real deal. If you go off that evaluation and what he did, he earned that job. He should be our starter on how he played. Because he has that film. And that was really cool to see."

Don't know how he did it, but Brock played quick and fast, with full command of Kyle's offense. And his decision making during those times were mostly good. Because he's injured, I think most of us would like to see if he can be that same Brock pre-injury and the ability to build upon last year further.

If you follow the 49ers.. we've gotten excited about Alex Smith, Shaun Hill, Kaep, Mullens, Jimmy G and now Purdy.

I'm just saying the odds are not in favor of just picking up where we left off.. and Purdy coming off major surgery to boot. If Purdy wasn't injured i would feel better.

But right now, i just see the QB position as a big ?

The only one I was excited about was Kap, Jimmy & Purdy. I personally never thought any of the rest were capable of being elite.

i said excited.. but if you have eliteness on the mind. we currently don't have anyone close to that right now

Well Purdy has played elite throughout his 6 games in the regular season and if not elite in the playoffs, very damn good (several rookie records). So in my opinion, he's the only one that has shown anything like that on the roster.

im tired of mediocre QBs and above average qb play on our guys best days. I want elite and nothing else. Keep looking until we do.

Purdy, Elite ?

is this an obnoxious moment ?

He said Purdy was elite in the regular season, which is 100% true.

you guys are using that term a little too loosely now days lol

He played elite. We've gone from I see a big ? mark to not wanting to give him his dues

lol it is a big question mark.. just cause he's not elite currently, doesn't make what he did last year less of a great time

Pretending that we are calling him elite

Is this an obnoxious moment?

pretending.. would be saying someone is playing elite but they are not elite lol

Still trying to work your way around saying he played elite. Your motto with Brock has been forget everything he's done unless we're bashing Jimmy lol

Every elite player, even Brady and Montana, had to show it first. That's where Brock is at. Saying they have to be elite for their play to be considered elite really isn't even logical lol

damn..you are so delusional. even your comparisons are way off

not once did i say anything to bash jmmy.. but you have to spin and digress this away from your contradiction .. i get that lol

He's not saying you're bashing Jimmy.

thats his attempt to digress, like i said. now its a spin job with jimmy see above

More like you're spinning because you can't explain your logic behind the elite player coming before the elite play

lol do you even think about what you post ?

still, the term elite is still being used to loosely with you guys

Were you thinking when you said we have to pretend someone is playing elite if they're not yet considered elite?

So can Purdy be a bust and play elite ?

Being a bust is related to your draft slot and the expectations that come with it. So he could never be a bust. The fact he's done more than any qb selected in his area already defeats that

bust doesn't have a round attached to it.. bust is a busted pick no matter where he was drafted,

if a player is playing elite and nothing has changed from that player playing elite.. i guess he's just avg player then ?

all of us want to see that. That truly is only question mark IMO

This is one of the worst posts in the history of this forum. OF COURSE bust "has a round attached to it." The higher the expectations (which are derived from a player's draft slot), the higher the bust potential. UDFA's for instance, have no chance of ever being called a bust.

I don't agree with anything you just said. Lol nor do I follow the logic.

Where you're drafted determines the expectations of your career. So if you're selected in the first round, you're expected to be a top player at your position eventually. If you're drafted in the 5-7th round, you're typically expected to be a career back up/special team player - very lucky if you get a good starter out of that, otherwise they would of been drafted higher.
if you're playing at the top end range of your position in the league, then you're a top end player? I don't follow?

You're 100% right, of course. Draft slot determines expectation; and the less a player meets that expectation, the more of a bust he is. So the players picked highest have the most potential to be labeled as a bust. No one taken in the later rounds or signed as an UDFA is ever considered a bust.

Been down this path with Kap and Jimmy. Need larger samples. Stuff Brock succeeded at was definitely more repeatable since it wasn't based on improv but still demands a larger sample.

Cautiously optimistic.

He said that he would lose his job if he didn't inrove and correct deficiencies.

every single player would lose their depth spot/job if they didn't improve or correct deficiencies.. lol what kind of post is this

Every player has deficiencies that they never correct and lots don'tosw their job.

If he plays as he did all last year, why should he lose his job?

You also called him a flash in the pan.

i swear every post is ignorance from you lol

as for past QB history.. i've been hear for all of it, so stop the BS

Who was excited about Alex after his first 8 games played? He had 1 TD and 11 INTs in his first season.

Claiming people were as excited for him were as excited for Alex after his rookie years they are for Brock is silly.

You compared the excitement for Hill, Smith and Mullens to the excitement for Purdy...come on, man!

When Purdy was drafted I literally said to myself "what a waste of a draft pick" because
1. He was a qb and our qb situation was already filled out for the most part and we usually carry 2.
2. the odds of a 7th round qb being anything was almost 0, Purdy was the first one to do anything ever, pretty much.
3. I didn't even think he would make the roster.
4. I think those picks are best spent on any other position than QB, and history says it is, but it's still unlikely.

obviously, I was way way wrong and very happy to be wrong about it. But him making the team was unexpected. He could never be a bust. Lol

Alex smith was when I first started watching football. When I say watch, like I'd sit down and get into the game. I started reading about niner history before that because both my parents are from the city. Then he got drafted and I was super into the 49ers ever since.

it's been a rough nearly 20 years 😭😭

Watching Purdy gave me Joe Montana vibes for real! He has the intangibles and it shows. I think he has the job if he stays healthy.

Yeah, this is one thing I never thought we would be debating on here. Lol

now if he's trying to say "can Purdy be a let down" or something along those lines, then the answer is yes. Purdy has played at a level that ALL of us expect him to be a damn good qb going forward. Doesn't mean he will be great every game or take a couple of games to get back in his groove, but at this point, we expect him to be a good qb at worst. Anything less and it'll be a disappointment.

Lance has always had an uphill battle to fight, in the eyes of the fan base/league, because of not only where he was drafted - but the amount of quality draft picks given up for him. Which isn't his fault at all, but if he doesn't blossom into a top 7 or so qb in this league, he will be labeled a bust in most peoples eyes. That doesn't mean he can't be a good to very good qb in this league, it's just the reality of the draft situation he was in. That's really difficult for ANYONE to overcome.
darnold at this point is a bust because he was drafted at #3 and not played well. Doesn't mean he doesn't belong in the league or can't be a good qb.

if he comes back and plays even better, I'll tattoo his face on mine. I will be the happiest damn guy in the league.

He's a super high character guy too, which matters to me. I do care about who's representing our organization. I would stop being a browns fan if I was one because of watson. we've been fortunate with high character guys like Alex, Jimmy, Lance, Purdy. Etc. (leaving kap out because of his polarization but I thought he represented the organization well when he was here.).

Agreed again. Purdy now has high expectations because of his ELITE play last year. Hell I bought his gameday jersey lol. So yeah, if he turns out to not be "him," then it would be a major letdown. But in no way shape or form would be considered a bust. He's already outplayed his draft slot and total contract, just in the 8 games that he's played so far.
