Not too shabby for pick 262 without even 10 starts.

i really forget how little he's actually played because he looks like a vet when he plays.

The only thing left that I need to see (though I don't necessarily WANT to see it) is for him to lead a 4th quarter comeback. I'm pretty sure he's capable, just don't know that my heart can take it.

Did you miss the raiders game last season where the defense was struggling?

Not bad and you can tell he's not fully ready yet. Give him a couple more weeks and it should look even better.

I would agree with this. He does not seem fully "there" yet. Not sure if it's a physical thing or mental, or maybe a combination of both. But he's clearly able to play through/around it, and still be careful with the ball while also making plays downfield and moving the chains.

I'm curious what you mean? He seems literally exactly like he was pre-injury…

I think that he, largely, looks the same as he was pre-injury, but still not 100% back yet with his accuracy. I think he's missed some throws he would've made last year, but that's not something I'm fretting about. The biggest thing is that he's making good decisions and reading things well. He had limited snaps for most of training camp. I have a lot of confidence he's going to be playing even better by midseason.

I think it's just experience. Seeing more defenses, coverages, disguises, exotic blitz etc. he's only played like 10 games, so he hasn't seen everything - I think what we saw against the giants on the first drive was Brock seeing sometbing he hasn't seen before or studied much of, so he was hesitant and struggling to diagnose it.

What he is really good at is adjusting and growing on the fly. It's pretty wild how fast he learns and adapts. I think on a short week, he couldn't study a team how he typically does and had things thrown at him he hasn't seen before. Then when you factor in other guys probably making mistakes, it just compounds. We had a lot of blown assignments on the o line too during some blitz. - Kyle talked about that.

Not quite as accurate as last year. "Shaky" is how I'd describe it. Completion percentage is similar, but ball placement is just a bit off. The misses versus the Rams were wide open and he would have hit those last year. So either his timing is off from so much time rehabbing and not throwing, or his arm is physically still bothering him in a manner that it's throwing off his mechanics. It is subtle and I am admittedly being VERY nitpicky. It's also a compliment to him, because we've come to expect greatness from him every game; hell every series.

This was expected. Once the tape got out on him, teams were going to adjust and throw curve balls at him. Kyle can do so much to mask this and make things easier on him, but if Purdy truly is the real deal he will adapt and adjust based on skill set. That's what separates the champs from the chumps. I like how as the game progresses he becomes more "aware" of the defense's tendencies and then adapts. I'm hoping that it gets to the point where he doesn't need a quarter or two to do it. If he does that, he will become a dangerous quarterback.
I want that six already

I'm with you there. Seems like the next few weeks the season gets tougher, also.

His accuracy and ball placement have been a bit off this year compared to last. I think his decision making and pocket presence has been even better than last year, but even on his short throws he's not hitting guys in stride as much as he was.

In the Giants game, I think the last TD throw to Deebo was a good answer from Purdy/Shanahan about how teams will choose to defend. Jonnydel's film study this week highlighted it. It's no secret that we will throw to Deebo on inbreaking routes. The Giants' CB tried to aggressively take it away on one play (the Ronnie Bell catch off the tip), so Shanahan dialed up a Slant and Go against it, and we put the game away.

Purdy, Shanahan, and Deebo put it on film that they're capable of doing that. Teams will think twice about camping these routes if we can continue to show we can beat that.

I think he's doing a much better job of stepping up in the pocket and not bailing out so fast. I think his accuracy has been off but I think that's teams just making his bread and butter plays a little more difficult, which he's adjusted to nicely. A lot of the plays that I've seen him off on, he seems to be dealing with pressure and he's got his feet too close together - at least from JTOs videos.

That game was such a damn nail biter lol

Pleased with these rankings. I have always said that completion percentage is an extremely overrated stat, so I dont care that he isnt near the top in that number.

Agree, I don't see him as inaccurate. I think it's more on the offensive line, specifically Burford and McKivitz and them giving up some pressure and having a dirty pocket where Brock has to move sideways or up in order to throw. I think teams are also - as others have said - trying to make his job harder in hitting those gimme throws. I think he's as close to 100% recovered if not even better than 100%.
