column a and column b. but fear of pushing the ball comes from lack of confidence in your arm

Purdy, keep proving the doubters wrong with that "noodle" arm of yours

Now, this may sound like blasphemy, but hear me out. I am old enough to have seen nearly every home game Joe Montana played. The way the ball gets to the receiver from Brock Purdy reminds me very much of Montana. It is always a catchable ball that arrives at just the right time.
One contrast that I recall: There was a time in the mid-80s, I don't remember the year, when Montana was hurt and Walsh brought in Jeff Kemp who had a rocket arm compared to Joe. Early in the first game, Kemp tossed one 50 yards down the sideline to a streaking Rice for a long game. We were all jazzed. Some went so far as to say Joe's job might be in danger. However, by the end of the second game, we were all glad to have Joe back. Kemp had proven what we all know - arm strength is not the end all be all. (stating the obvious)

I haven't seen Purdy say he has a noodle arm like posters claimed. Yes, he doesn't have a top tier arm and he's acknowledged that. Just because he doesn't have Allen or Mahomes type arm doesn't automatically mean he has a weenie arm either lol

Agree with this for the most part.
It's why it was so confusing people would overrate the Dallas Cowboys number 3 QB's arm talent. He could throw it really hard when he was planted and had space.
Brock has enough arm strength… it's definitely not a strength of his game though. I'll take everything else. Very rare to get it all.

Extra weird from a fanbase where the two greatest QB's are JM and SY. These guys did not have rocket arms.
Give me the guy with enough arm talent, brains, and some plus mobility… sky is the limit.

We know exactly why he chooses to ignore this lol
If it's not an Allen or Mahomes type arm than it must be a noodle arm

Lance could sling it downfield off balance. He could throw it on a rope. He had other issues that only playing could help.
Brock's arm is bottom tier among starters, but again he has other attributes that help him be successful.
