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.

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%.

I totally disagree. His inaccuracy early this season has had very little to do with the OL. Thankfully, he has always seemed to figure it out and it hasnt cost us. He is still playing at a very high level, but it would be nice if the accuracy stepped up a notch.

He's hitting guys fine. The accuracy is great. Not sure what you are seeing. But it's not happening.

I know right??? He's missed a few but he's IMPROVED in the intermediate range 10-19 yards to ONLY 90%!!! He broke the ALL TIME RECORD last year and is much higher this year

I don't think he's been inaccurate, but he's been off on some throws that he usually hits on. Really that was just early in the giants game and then a few here and there throughout the other two games. For the most part he's been accurate, I mean he's at 67% - that's really good.

he's had a couple that were behind the receiver, and have typically been caught, but those can be better. He hasn't been perfect but he's been damn, IMO.

it's early in the season, so I don't fret it too much. He's done more than enough to where we are winning and I just expect to see him and the team to gradually improve week for week. The team has been playing awesome but there is still so much to clean up and they could play better. Fortunately, they've been doing the important stuff right for the most part.

You are just arguing semantics then. You dont think he has been inaccurate, just off. Thats the same thing dude.

And when are we going to stop using completion percentage as a means of judging accuracy. Would you describe the following play to be an accurate throw?


I wouldnt, in spite of it being a completion.

And I am not accusing you of this, but just to reiterate, I have been very happy with Brock this year and so far in general. I think he has IT, and he could be a good one for a very long time. Criticism =/= hate.

Completion% rank by depth.

BLOS- 28th
Short- 32nd
Intermediate- 2nd
Deep- 16th

Last season, Brock was tearing it up in the short game. Could it be that defenses are just clamping down on the shorter routes this season or did Brock lose his short range accuracy?

Actually ya it was accurate, if he threw it more in front of Jennings then the safety picks it off (safety was playing mlb)

That is what I have observed as well. Purdy may seem inaccurate on passes where he is fitting it into tight windows. But with closer examination, you can see that he is keeping it out of harms way and putting it only where his receiver can make a play. He did put the ball in harms way twice though early in the giants game. Other than that, he has been pretty damn accurate.

Indeed, Sir Brock Purdy is an master at hitting on our men. Even when he is not straight with his passes they still come in the catcher's radius, no less than 14 times of 17 or more. Thus his inaccuracy is of an lesser order than the inaccuracy of, say, one Sir Lancealot. Yes, perhaps the greatest of the weakness of T'variusness Lance was that his inaccuracies were of the "grip your nethers with the iron vice" variety, rather than merely the quick breath of an shocked lover such as Sir Purdy's inaccuracies.

So yeah, while I do not believe he is the laser shooter, he is far superiority to those of the lesser stripe, such as Loverboy Jimmy.

Was he not also evisceration of the intermediate range on last year as well? I am quite sure he was demigod at mid-range in the year 2022.

Yes. He was #1 in intermediate completion % in 2022.

My gratitude, friend, as that makes confirmation of mein old fogey memory.

There are a lot of throws like this. Where it appears when watching it live the ball could have been placed much better but in reality it is thrown their because that is where the lane to throw is. Also some throws that seem behind sometimes is his him leading the receiver away from a defender coming down. Just because a throw isn't on the numbers or leading the receiver forward doesn't mean that it isn't an accurate throw.

AGree 💯%, JTO broke this play down in detail in his Brock Week 3 video. Purdy had to shade it a bit right to avoid the safety playing the Middle backer. Ended up a bit behind Jauan. Looked inaccurate, but actually, it was accurate.
