What passes are you talking about? I can and have shown passes downfield that were underthrown. Name me 5 starting NFL QBs that have weaker arms than him?

The funny thing is you never said he has a bad arm. You said he doesn't have a plus arm (I interpreted that as a rocket arm etc) I didn't even think you were insulting him.

look a post above yours.. he says name 5 starters that have a weaker arm. he said his arm is bottom tier among starters

Oh I didn't see that. I disagree with that.

I posted it before. He doesn't have a cannon. He's not throwing a rope like mahomes or Allen. He's more like a tad weaker Brees imo. More of a classical arm if that makes sense. I would call it easily average more like above average. But again his accuracy, anticipation etc make up for it.

Rodgers

Arms has better arm strength with a torn achilles lol. Again people can't name 5 other guys. It's okay it's not the end of the world. There's no reason to pretend it's better than it is because he's our QB.

Dude I named half the NFL I could give ya 40 names

It's not blasphemy at all. He definitely reminds me of Joe, and I'm old enough to have watched all of Joe's games. Purdy has that instinct to simply make the right play, particularly when the play structure breaks down. This is a perfect example (among many others):

To me, this was one of my favorite plays from Purdy. It's simple, but we've seen Jimmy throw a pick on this MANY times. This is a rhythm throw to Aiyuk but the DE fakes the rush and then bails right into the throwing lane, Purdy sees it, and immediately resets to his outlet. pic.twitter.com/tvczMbLnE0

Oh another 4x1 formation play. This time it's Aiyuk as the 1. This is going to be a thing this season. Isolate one of the 49ers good man beating players on one side - on this play it's Aiyuk - then flood the other side. Check what Juice is doing, he's not even looking for a pass, he's about to block for Deebo the whole way.
Also, nice play by Brock not to fall for the trap.

I didn't bring it up bro. I'm also not wrong. Name me 5 starting QBs with weaker arms? You can't. It's also doesn't mean he's a bad QB. People just get all bent out of shape if anything critical is said about their QB. Next ya'll gonna tell me Brock is 6-4 and 230lbs

Dude you gotta let this go. This is like having Kate Beckinsale as your wife and complaining that she has small breasts. I mean really lol.

Exactly Furlow. It's funny you mention bc that yesterday I was saying she has got to be one of the most beautiful women ever it's just too bad she doesn't have much tits or ass. Then I smacked myself in the face and said come on she's close to a 10, even if I'm a picky son of a b***h.

I'm SAYING! I love my wife to death and she's hot AF, but she knows if I ever get a shot at Kate (not happening lol) it's ON.

But yes, let's be happy with Purdy. He's not perfect, but damn it he's ours and he's as close to a 10 as we've had in decades. Dafuq are we doing dwelling on whether he can throw it 55 mph or 65 mph? It's getting to where it needs to go immediately, with accuracy, in stride, and not putting the WR in harms way. s**t I watched most of the Raiders game and Jimmy was hanging dudes out to dry left and right. I don't recall Purdy doing that much, if ever.

Actually, I think you should rank your personal 32 and then we can have fun critiquing it lol

Excuse my ignorance, I haven't followed this conversation but is there throws that Brock has missed due to his lack of arm strength? I haven't noticed any.

There are at least 7-8? "pure" QBs better than Purdy in the NFL this season. Reasons are many - Mahomes, Hurts, Burrow, Herbert, Allen, Lawrence, etc. For someone that has started half a season, not bad at all.
Also, Purdy is part of a team that has multiple pro-bowlers, so that's a huge advantage. Would Montana win 4 SBs on another team? Who knows, hard to tell. You just have to take the QB with the team.
Bottom line: he is very good. Is he good enough to help this team get over the hump and win the SB? Time will tell.
Let's hope for the best.

Purdy reminds me of Tony Romo without the choking quality

Easy, Brady.

People forget Brady grew into his arm strength, which was nothing crazy but serviceable. Compare Brock to Brady's arm strength alone their first two years Brock looks stronger. But put him on the Brady 12 and we will have the next ten superbowls pho sho jk. But Brock still hasnt even hit real strength yet, that comes around 28.

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.

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.

I am on the fence with the bottom tier statement...Purdy was listed at 52 MPH at the combine that is below the average that most normal starters achieve that are not named Drew Brees ( 52 mph clocked by the sports science show)

Of course we have the very public statement that Purdy has been coached up to 55 mph...and I think that reflects on the football field....

To tier Bock to the bottom, you have to ignore the 55mph statement or believe it is false....

I think most people would normalize a few MPH in one direction or the other as similar during a game of football. Especially considering most throws doe not max out a QBs arm.

Here are the combine velocity numbers of guys around the Arm Strength of Purdy and then.... Deshaun Watson just for context:

Justin Herbert Oregon 55 (Left) 54 (Right)
CJ Stroud Ohio State 54 (Left) 56 (Right)
Anthony Richardson Florida 53 (Left) 54 (Right)
Kenny Pickett Pittsburgh 54 (Left) 54 (Right)
Jordan Love Utah State 54 (Left) 53 (Right)
Patrick Mahomes Texas Tech 55 (Left) 55 (Right)
Deshaun Watson Clemson 45 (Left) 45 (Right)
Jared Goff, California 58
Dak Prescott, Mississippi State 54
Jimmy Garoppolo, Eastern Illinois 56
Geno Smith, West Virginia 55
Russell Wilson, Wisconsin 55
Cam Newton, Auburn 56

While I can see Brock adding zip he doesn't have that tall frame like Brady which helped him drive a ball.

You'd really rather have Herbert or Allen in this offense on this team with Kyle? No F'in way. I said it yesterday and I still mean it, I'd take Mahomes and Burrow over him and that's IT. Maybe Lawrence but likely not. Allen and Herbert rely way too much on their physical talent, they don't think the game through the way Purdy does. Hurts relies too much on running. Everyone else can kick rocks.
