QB Brock Purdy Thread

Jimmy should have gone down earlier. And it was a TE who blew the block. But is the conversation that there are lots of extenuating circumstances, or that there is at least two consistent factors: KS play calling and our o-line.

The preseason playcalling suggests there is no intention to make him a statue.

I'm not concerned about that. My concern is health. We really didn't improve our line, the line that lead to three season ending QB injuries.

And then we traded away QB insurance.

But for Brock, I think he'll be fine. Borderline pro bowler level, and a good shot to win it all if he stays healthy.

Not true.

Well systems that emphasize strong arms are - in a sense - much simpler. You will have WR's that match that systems needs. In a Coryell system, you'll have very fast agile WR's that can separate and if married with a strong accurate arm, they are very tough to stop. You'll get a lot of deep coverage and big cushins from the DBs (Tyreek hill comes to mind). Lynn Swan, Stallworth, Bob Hays... etc...are other examples. A strong accurate arm would eat that up just like the short passes in a WCO. Steelers with the Air Coryell offense have won multiple super bowls too, don't forget.

The problem with Russel Wilson is that he sucks at the short game needed for a WCO that Pete wants to implement. At least that's my observation. Russel never really, in my opinion, fit with the WCO really well. It's a matter of what the HC wants to implement on his team because how he preferes his system is how he's going to draft. I like a QB with a strong arm because that forces the defense to defend a lot more ground than a QB with a average arm. Having said that - Purdy's arm is plenty strong for Kyle's offense. It's not a limiter for Kyles offense at all. It's just that to a certain degree Trey's arm is so much stronger and more accurate in the longer ranges than Brock's arm - but again that's not what Kyle really wants in a QB.

The #49ers are practicing today, one day before @JohnLynch49ers and Kyle Shanahan will pare their roster down to 53 players. Brock Purdy was at practice and in uniform and throwing but he was not taking his regular practice reps today. He may be sore coming off of the Chargers…

#49ers QB Brock Purdy was only throwing here and there in early individual drills. Purdy said recently he still has a "pitch count" he has to stay on, would think that's the reason for that.

How do you think Russ Wilson will do in Sean Payton's system? Reports are that he's struggling. It's a lot of short to intermediate throws, isn't it?

might be a good time to buy shares in J. Stidham
It went from let Russ cook, to Russ is cooked
add to the DEN recipe, they have no receivers
