QB Brock Purdy Thread

He's been the best QB in the NFL since he started last year and he has been the best QB his year based on first 3 games. Film is proof and so are results of games. No other offense is averaging 30+ points a game (DAL def/ST accounted for most of TDs against giants week 1).

He is 11-0. I don't count a game where he tore his UCL on the first drive as a loss, though if you hate him or hate the 49ers I can understand why you would (that loss is Josh Johnson who also quit on the team after the most minor concussion ever).

It is insane how he hasn't had a bad game which even supposedly great QBs in the league like Allen and Herbert have a regular basis (besides getting their ass handed to them in playoffs). He has so few mistakes (barely any) and consistently makes difficult intermediate to long throws. Sorry no 65+ hail mary bombs which frankly are rare as f**k in his league.

Hopefully they show some respect on his name after he beats overweight slow as f**k Dak in a couple weeks (a supposed top 10 QB LMFAO). I'm sure there will be excuses about them missing that b***hass CB that was bragging how this defense was going to be all time great.

Purdy is #3 QBR, #5 NFL.

Interesting stat: 6 sacks, 0 interceptions. Hm. Must be comfortable under pressure.

I love posting this. I think its my favorite piece of sports journalism, ever,

Threw for 310 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, posted a passer rating of 111.3, and yet those numbers don't show how many check down passes went for big gains because great players picked up big yardage after the catch. Purdy's two touchdown passes were absolute dimes, but he also threw at least two other passes that should have been intercepted, plus he fumbled a snap for the second time this season. Overall, Purdy played well, but not as well as last week when he missed three deep passes. His play has gotten slightly worse every week this year. Perhaps the league is beginning to catch up with him. He'll need to play much better to beat playoff teams.

I think if this game tells us anything, it is that we over estimate Deebo...not Purdy.

Deebo looked like an extra player, not a core part of an offense. He looked like a dude you add once you have everything else in place.

It is one game...so can't let it tell too much of a story....but this offense looks crisper last year with no Deebo then it does this year with no BA.

it was Thursday Night Football.

Grant's football analysis is so laughably terrible.

I've never seen anybody play this good and be disrespected this bad. It's unbelievable.

I keep saying this but Grant doesn't analyze football like other reporters. His takes align with whatever is the most controversial. That's his shtick because that was his fathers shtick. When everyone zigs he zags. That's how he gains so many followers. He's more entertainment then football analyst. The moment 49ers media starts to blame Purdy, Grant will blame Kyle. The moment media members blame Kyle, he'll blame Purdy.

I think collectively as the webzone we need to stop pretending like these are honest football takes by Grant. He can make good points or bad points, but they're always for the wrong reasons.

He's a troll. And he's good at it.

Agree with you overall except I would say I've seen him analyze non controversial items related to the team (and sport) that were really bad, and I don't put his father in the same boat.

*I don't necessarily view this particular opinion, under the SI branding, as trolling either.*

I agree his football knowledge is next to zero. My point was saying people keep acting like he's always "reporting" what he truly feels, or that he's super biased or butthurt about Trey, when I perceive his Twitter posts as mainly fuel to bring traffic to his social media. He's less of a homer than a BS artist imo.

That's how I perceived his father but I'd be lying if I remember all of his content.

I REALLY need someone to help explain the total QBR to me. Last night, Purdy completed 67.6%, averaged 8.4, had 2 TDs, 310 yards and a rating of 111.3. Total QBR, however, was 58.3. First game VS Pittsburgh he completed 65.5%, averaged 7.6, had 2 TDs, and a rating the exact same of 111.3, but a total QBR of 94.3. How does that make sense?

I could be wrong, but I think opponents factor in this stat

But a Dak Prescott against the same team completed 13 of 24 for 143 yards, 6.0 YPA with 0 TD's but had finished with a higher rating than Brock with a 70.5 total QBR.

Nonsense. The whole point of QBR is to look BEYOND mere numbers and look at CONTEXT. Brock made some great plays, he also made some bad ones which didn't hurt us because guys like Kittle broke up interceptions. Stop being so much of a homer that your trust in an advanced stat depends EXCLUSIVELY on how much it praises the players you like. That same stat had Brock at number 1 in the NFL in week 1, and cumulatively he held that rank after week 2 as well.

So does Brock's almost turnovers weigh heavier than Dak's 0 TD's?

Agreed with the top part for the most part again. He comes off as butthurt about Trey mainly because that's the target audience he's feeding on social media. The bulk of our content creators have that in common. They're grabbing that market…

This group (fans and CCs) couldn't have looked more stupid over the course of the last few seasons.

Allow me to preface this by saying, "Grant Cohen is a blooming moron." It's moronic that a writer for a team consistently rips that teams players when they are good and winning. Now, to what's important. For a second, let's say that Brock Purdy was NOT drafted 262nd, or whatever number, and he was drafted, let's say, in the 3rd round, like... Montana. Given that, with his success and his stats, are we waiting for him to fail? Are we doubting he can lead this team as its QB1? Let me go back to an NFCCG with the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers. A team led at QB by one Joseph Montana who threw a pass called "The Catch" that catapulted the Niners to their first playoff win against the Cowboys and into the Super Bowl where the Niners win the first of 5 Championships to come. For those of you who saw that game as it played out, our hero, Joe "Cool" Montana, in that game, had 6 turnovers. I believe he threw 3 int's and had 3 three fumbles. Now, this is the stat line for the Niners GOAT. Our New Kid named Brock is playing with a Montana like "Cool" and getting us 30 points a game and wins. And this kid is learning on the job very well. So, I believe that it is not because Brock was drafted last that he should be doubted, but that FO did some scouting work (as they should) and uncovered a precious (B)rock and figured they could get him late or undrafted. Which leads me to believe that he should not be doubted for being drafted late but, should be considered a STEAL. There are still those found in the draft, right?

Sweet that purdy is leading the league in passing yards as of today according to ESPN stats

Lol. An extra game will do that for you.

I feel like us leading in passing yards would be a bad sign. Give me that balanced offense please.

Kid is getting LESS love from national media than JG, despite putting up better #s. While the whole wheat side of me hates that, the frosted side thinks it's a plus in that it may save us $ when we gotta resign him.

I think it's hit or miss, I see him getting a lot of credit. It's definitely grown tremendously since the end of the last regular season.

I think of it as damage control media narrative, there is so much more risk for them professionally to come out early for such a high risk high reward narrative . Better to play it safe until the concept of him being a top QB becomes safer.
