Dear Lord, not the "plus arm strength" guy again.

I can't lol

He will die on this hill

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.

Simply put Purdy is doing a fine job. He's only played 8 games 3 of them Playoff. The kid is pretty good. All this talk about arm strength is kind of mute. Kyles offense doesn't need a cannon for an arm, accuracy and timing do!!!! I remember they said Montana had a weak arm that's why he lasted to the 3rd round. Look at Allen last night and he can throw 70-80yds. I think Purdy will be just fine and will get better the more he plays. JMHO…….Go Niners

And that's the thing. Josh Allen was almost the prototype coming out of college in terms of size, arm strength, and running ability. Maybe not the prototype because he doesn't have Lamar Jackson/Michael Vick/Justin Fields/Anthony Richardson speed. But the size, arm strength, and what he can do with his feet and legs, like a bigger stronger Aaron Rodgers.

But, I fully expected him to bust because he played awful against better competition in college and completed a low percentage of his passes.

That he ascended into being one of the best in the league is credit to an obviously tremendous work ethic and desire to simply not fail.

But guys with great God given ability oft times fall back on that first and foremost more so than proper mechanics or playing smart. Because it's suited them well at every level of football and still can in the NFL. But they can also get burned by it more often in the NFL. Throwing 40 plus yards flat footed and off balance is impressive. It also probably doesn't have the highest rate of success.

Give me a guy like Purdy over a guy who's heady over a guy who's the prototype but does some boneheaded things.

That's not to say Purdy is already better than Josh Allen. Just a general statement. Obviously, if you can have a heady/smart guy who's the prototype than you have pretty much a Hall of Famer.

I don't think he has elite arm talent either. Like I said it's not just arm strength that makes a QB. I never said it was…if you can throw a football well but can't do anything else requiring to play the position. You're useless.

I love Brock's processing, moxie/leadership, play under pressure and quick feet to make s**t happen out of structure. If he was 6-3 230lbs with a top end arm he would have been a top 10 pick in the draft. He doesn't have those and never will do he got drafted much later…overall his skill set with this roster is all we need to win a bunch of games. All I've said his his arm strength was bottom tier among starters, doesn't mean he can't be successful.

I think Sam is high end and BP is solid I wouldn't put BP as low as you do. This is on the arm talent only ranks. Part of arm talent to me is not just the Herbert play of the year throw vs NYG a while back, it's also off platform. You see BP all the time not set, but using torque and upper body to deliver a crisp pass. He can put it wherever he wants there are no throws he can't hit.

That wording, lol. Don't be the last guy on this train dude.

(Sam's arm talent* is greater than Lance's)

You think my wording is bad? If you do that's your problem…I've said plenty good about Brock and posted half a dozen clips of good stuff since the game on Sunday. Just because I don't think he's good in one area doesn't mean I think he sucks.

You do harp on it, however…. At every opportunity.

Originally posted by SmokeyJoe:
Well I talked to you a lot in the offseason and that wording harkened back to those conversations and what I think is a philosophical belief you hold: that we can win games with a player like Brock but he's not an 'elite' QB and you need an elite QB to win the SB.

I'm not sure you think we can win the SB with this type of player. That seemed like a major structural piece of your arguments to develop Trey. If I'm mistaken, I'll take your word for it.

If we win a SB with him then that's all that matters. If we don't then we will have our answer. Simple as that.

Yes you are mistaken
