QB Brock Purdy Thread

If Mac holds that and Kittle doesn't fall down on the other 3rd down play the 9ers put up 38 and Brock has 4 TDs.

I wonder what Purdy's best game of the year will look like.

Can we give the kid an entire season and post season before comparing him to Brady, or Joe or anyone else?

I enjoyed kap's rise, jimmy's rise, and imma do the same with Brock. If it all collapses then so be it. Gotta enjoy the now.

Nobody is saying don't enjoy it, I'm enjoying the hell out of this. Comparing him to HOFers is premature IMO, but if you wanna be let down, again, that is what folks set themselves up for when making those comparisons. Joe wasn't considered truly great until his 2nd Super Bowl vs Cincinnati. He threw THREE picks in the game that made him famous with Clark for The Catch. Brady wasn't considered great until his 3rd or 4th because Bellichick's D did all the heavy lifting. Yet here we are in 2023, people already crowning Mahomes the best to ever play, Burrows, Herbert and Allen future HOFers despite winning nothing.

He was a legend by Super Bowl 23. That game solidified it. I'd argue he was already great by 81 or we can go to the 84 season if you want to push it.

The great comeback verses the Saints in 1980, smashing Dallas in the regular season in 81, his playoff run in 1981 (yes he threw 3 picks in that game but go back and watch- he played great), opening with four of five three hundred yard games in 1982, good season in 83 and leading to another NFCCG with an almost great comeback in that game, and his 84 was magnificent, just overshadowed by Marino. Everyone knew Montana was great by 84.

Not in the eyes of the national media. If you were reading it then. Policy didn't acquire Steve Young to back up a legend. They saw Joe as a system QB who was injury prone.

That was a part of the narrative too. Within the organization, they say him as a great QB that was on the way out and Steve Young would've been Montana 2.0- better runner, stronger arm, etc. Outside the organization, depending on the source, he was a great QB or a system QB dinking and dunking his way down the field.

I heard on the radio today that purdy was benched multiple times at iowa state?

That does not surprise me at all......

Brock is going to go balls to the wall 24/7 and he has some gunslinger in him.

We have been mostly winning 50/50 balls, and Brock throws the ball before the break on the rout regularly. There is a cost to that.

I could easily see Brock trying to will the team down the field and a 50/50 ball not go his way, or throwing a pass with anticipation that the future insurance salesman can break and go it and being wrong...

We got great skill guys, Iowa State did not.
We have a great defense to lean on, Iowa State did not.
We have a great system to reign in some Impulses Brock might have, Iowa State did not.

Having said that....now think of the numerous almost turnovers the 49ers have had with all these things in Brock's favor.

Almost Turnovers don't count in football, but it does make it really believable that Brock could have been benched at Iowa State.

With any luck for us, Brock learned from it and it cost the 49ers nothing.

Farve won a superbowl doing just that 😂

Whether he was benched or not, Purdy is Iowa State's career leader in passing yards (12,170), total offense (13,347), touchdown passes (81), completions (993), passing efficiency (151.1) and completion percentage (67.7).

*Shrug* on top of being a winner who reportedly helped turn around a previously bad program.

He helped a bad team in college become good.

He's helping a good team in the NFL become even better.

Pretty strong evidence he's better than many give him credit for.

Dallas will test Brock's poise, perhaps more than any other game. The competition will be intense and physical. Whether or not we win, if he can maintain that assassin's demeanor, he's definitely on his way to achieving all of great things we think he can.

When you are clutch and make others around you better, that is IT, IMO. he has "it" from what I've seen. Now he just needs to keep growing and improving - he will eventually be a doctor out there dissecting everything.

I really enjoy how he puts so much trust in the guys around them and throws it to em with a ton of anticipation. That touchdown to Hill was ridiculously early. a thing of beauty. The layed throw between two defenders to kittle on the out right, to the left side, was a thing of beauty. He had some great throws with amazing anticpation - and this isn't the first time he's done that.

I liked jimmy but that is stuff we very rarely ever saw him do. I really can't think of plays like that since Steve young, maybe Garcia.

he did last year in the playoffs, and Dallas played their asses off. Very fast and physical defense - he didn't even have a TWP. It'll be a big test for him but I'm just saying it isn't the first time he has had a similar test and passed. He wasn't great that game but was amazing for a rookie in one of his first few starts.

He did it against Dallas in a playoff game when that team had all the motivation in the world to cut our heads off. Only thing I'm looking to see is if he can have a good to great game against a great team.

Too bad Dallas best corner got hurt and is out for the year. We always want to play them at their best so there's no excuses. However, something about Dak when the pressure is highest he makes bad plays. Like his clock management errors.

I have the same question if some consider that a s**tty game 😂

But I thought Brock was Jimmy? Doesn't stats and spray charts tell us that?

I don't know who said that, but I sure as hell know it wasn't me! I don't even know what a spray chart is(sounds sus and for nerds). It took me 3 games last year to come to the conclusion that Brock > Jimmy.
