Jimmy is a top 10-ish QB in my opinion. His mechanics on the long ball are questionable, and he's not going to extend plays the way Patrick or Brock can. He's immobile and in Kyle's system that's a detriment - specially with Kyle's bread and butter naked QB boot passes, and it's variations. An immobile QB like Jimmy just limits Kyle's offense - enough to not enable Kyle's offense to get to 100%. Tha'ts enough to knock Kyle's offense off from Superbowl Caliber level in my opinion.
Brock has quicker feet, hence better mechanics, and I daresay Brock has Brees-like accuracy. It's insane that he has (as a rookie) a 13-4 TD/Int ratio. Just
INSANE! Hence Purdy has better long ball accuracy and is elite in Kyle's short passing and naked QB boot system. It's like Kyle prayed to God to give him the perfect QB for his system and God said, since you've had so much problems with the QB, I'll be merciful this time and give you the *perfect* QB for you. So all the injuries to Kyle's QBs were just God's blessing in disguise. ![](/forum/images/smileys/bigsmile.gif)
I think more often than not, Jimmy was the 9-10 best qb in the league. On his best days (like New Orleans game) he was in the 7-8 range. His worst days he was 11-14.
i don't think Jimmy gets enough credit for the things he does really well and how much that helped us generate winning football. He does certain things at an elite level but because he has limitations with his he attacks the field and his deep ball, it stagnated the team. I really like him though and thought he was a great teammate and tough guy. It's unfortunate that he gets injured as much as he does.
Purdy, to me, is Jimmy but with a better football mind, aggressiveness, accuracy overall, mobility, and stone cold mentally reliable in the tough situations (so far).
im really hoping this is the start to a great 15 year run with Kyle where our team has the next Montana/Brady type of dominant run.
Agree, about Jimmy and Injuries, that's what drove ShanaLynch to fork over 3 first rounders for Trey. Then they get a player that's injured for two straight years. Trey's durability is as bad or WORSE than Jimmy based on just the games missed and his delayed development because of said injuries. Hopefully Trey's injury issues are behind him, but that's a hope, not a guarantee.
That's also my biggest worry about Brock is that he has been injured. But he's played through his injuries and has been much more healthy relative to Trey, that's one big reason Brock is QB1 - Health. I want ShanaLynch to focus on the OLine next year the way Andy Reid does on his super bowl off years. It's always one of Andy's priorities - and as a former OLineman - he knows the importance of the O and D Lines. John Madden has one of the highest (if not the highest) win/loss rate as a coach in the NFL still today, and I think one reason is because he was just a stud in developing his O and D Lines.
Yeah. I'd like to see us grab a tackle in the first round this year, if it's there. We allocate almost all of our first 2 round picks to the d line and only one to the o line. There is just a shortage of quality o linemen in the nfl In general (hence McG gettin overpaid). It's just a tough spot. I like our starters but the depth is what is worrisome.
Im kinda hoping we trade for a quality o lineman for depth here at cutdowns.
I have been really impressed with Foerster last year. I hope he continues. He develops Brendel from nowhere, and the guy is now Pro bowl level center.

That's the kind of Oline coach that Brock needs. A coach that can find diamonds in the rough in the later rounds and even in the undrafteds. Sapaulo, I think would be an UDFA today if he was young again trying to make the 49ers. Manning might be the next Sapaulo.
Back to your point about Brock just being better than Jimmy, I totally agree 💯%. Jimmy was no slouch either. He was a 2nd round pick, and was backup to Brady, so he knows a thing or two about QB preparation. Brock is just better than Jimmy in pretty much every dimension - in my opinion. The guy is almost as young as Trey, and plays like a 7 year veteran as a rookie.

Geeze Louise did Kyle and the 49er fan base get lucky with B🐔B. On top of that, he's costing a measly one million a year in the salary cap for the next 3+ years. That - of course - helps with signing Bosa and Aiyuk, and so on. That, unfortunately, as Steve Young said, squeezes Trey out of the QB1 spot and into (QB3 or 4)limbo land with his #3 pick salary cap hit.
