He did that a few times last game. I believe they all ended up being deep passes to Aiyuk. Lol

He never ceases to amaze me. It almost seems unreal. Can someone pinch me to make sure I'm not dreaming.

How Much Does Brock Purdy Earn as a 49er? An In-depth Analysis (coopwb.in)

He was given a pretty solid contract for the last pick of the year. He's been amazing, but he was also given a heck of an opportunity. After this year, he'll have 2 more years. Normally extension talks happen a year before the contract ends as happened with Bosa. I wouldn't mind extending Brock after this year for value...but if he's going to the bank, we should wait a year or two.
If Brock continues to do well, we almost certainly have to give him a new contract when he is eligible, which is at the end of next season. Only a fail franchise would not do the right thing to your franchise QB, especially considering how much he has made thus far.

The Redskins did that to Kirk Cousins, and they are a failed franchise.

I'm not concerned about it it at all, our franchise has a great track record of paying guys what they deserve and when they deserve it. We've historically done it with one year left on their deal and get it done before the final season of their contract starts - bosa is the lone exception of a holdout but that is a unique situation. Reigning DPOY and generational talent who has played amazing from day one.

idk what Brock will be paid, amongst his peers, but I doubt his family ever needs anything ever again. So far, rightfully so.

Yes I am not concerned about us paying Brock.

Nah, not worried about Purdy's deal either, or BA's deal, the 49ers have a track record of rewarding their draft picks, Kittle, Warner, Deebo, Bosa, then it'll be BA & Huf, then Purdy.

Careful, opposing teams will take that as a tell, like when everyone thought they figured out TW's "tell" on pass vs run plays.

If you're not sold on Purdy yet, IDK if you ever will be. I've never seen anyone step in and from his first snaps as a rookie all the way into his next year just straight up ball out like this. What he's doing is unreal to me. Sure, he's got talent around him, but I don't see anyone saying Montana and Young weren't good just because they had Rice, Taylor, Craig, Watters, etc. on O and other ballers on D. You didn't see credit taken away from Brady when he had Gronk and superstar RB Corey Dillon. Mahomes with Hill, Kelce, Hunt. Elway with McCaffrey, Sharpe, Terrell Davis, and Rod Smith (criminally underrated -- had twice the career production of John Taylor).

What else can you ask of Purdy?

He can throw deep -- he improved there.

He can distribute the ball well.

He can make tight window throws.

He is mobile.

He has a quick release.

He is without question a natural born leader of men.

He's as high character and mature as it gets.

He has total understanding and command of the offense.

He can even sneak it better now, another improvement.

This is a franchise QB. PERIOD.



What else can I ask of him? Plz sign my jersey 😆

Well said OTC, I'm 100% a believer in Brock being our franchise QB, Trey didn't work out, so what, sometimes you hit, and miss, glad we hit with Purdy, and he'll get rewarded in a couple years with a new deal, likely in the $50M+ a yr range, which will seem like a bargain compared to what others will get before him.

You know we struck gold with our franchise qb when he makes you forget about Trey and jimmy. Lol only time I think about them is when I'm making a joke or being grateful we don't have them playing for us anymore. Lol

Arm is definitely stronger than Montana's.

No not really. They both throw extremely catchable balls on all their different types of throws though. Both elite there.

Disagree, I remember Montana's long balls had more arch to them. Early in Montana's career (Before Rice) he had long ball issues. Which are not a big deal during the early years as he had Wendell Tyler. That Aiyuk 40+ yard throw was a flatter trajectory than Montana's usual deep throws, as I recall it.
Having a lower trajectory on deep balls all the time means your arm isn't as strong, because you have to cut out the wasted motion. You think Russell Wilson has a weak arm? His deep balls are more tear drop than anyone's I've ever seen.

The second the ball leaves your hand, the only forces working on it are gravity and friction. A high arching ball travels a further net distance than a flattened one. It takes more arm to throw more distance. QBs who depend on a flat arc for deep balls probably do not have as strong an arm as those who don't.

HOWEVER, it could also merely be a preference. The QB maybe doesn't anticipate as much as the tear drop guy and has to sling it to get it there in time, or perhaps they're paranoid about the ball taking a long time to get there.

.
.
.
EDIT: before I get tarred and feathered, I'm not talking about Brock. His arm is plenty strong enough to hit every throw you need to wear a gold jacket. I'm just talking theoretically. If you HAVE to have a low trajectory to throw deep, your arm isn't as strong as someone who can easily do either.

Any science behind this? I think if someone wants to throw deep, if they have the time, and it makes sense, they "naturally" conform to throwing with a higher arc/higher trajectory. I mean that's how I feel when I play catch with the guys. If you're trying to laser it while going deep I think that actually means you have a stronger arm than most.

Yeah. Pythagoras (Extended to curves; the same principle applies, you just add up the infinitesimal distances via a line integral, but it's essentially the same thing. In Euclidean geometry, a straight line is the shortest path between two points.). A high arcing ball travels more distance. As the ball is not getting any additional force as it leaves (basic physics), what you put into it upon release is all it has. So throwing with a high arc doesn't give you some boost. That's not how physics work. Draw a free body diagram. Only gravity and friction are of any consequence once it's released.

So, the high arcing ball is thrown further in actual distance traveled than the low arcing one.

Which means, if you MUST throw with a low arc to get it there, your arm is weaker. (By arm strength I mean how far you can throw the ball, but I see no reason why velocity and distance would be different as a measure of arm strength unless the QB has mechanical problems which make one of either his distance or velocity throws more inefficient.)

.
.

EDIT: Just to be clear, however, I do believe that the most likely reason most of the time for why some QBs throw with a low arc and some don't is that the low arc guys either have poorer deep anticipation or don't trust their accuracy and timing as much, or fear that a super fast safety might catch up and make a play. In other words, I think a lot of low-arc deep ball guys COULD throw tear drops but choose not to.

Kaepernick used to throw frozen ropes, I don't think he could put air under it. It takes more strength to throw those low angle passes because you have to put more mustard on it to get the ball to go where you want it. The downside is those balls are much harder to catch. Putting air under it means you don't have to throw it as hard to get it to the target, and the balls are much easier to catch. Josh Allen is probably the best pure arm talent that can do either as needed.

I wonder how true this is, I'm warry of these types of accounts, unless I missed something where Caleb said this, or hearsay.
