I don't even think the is interception prone like most has said he is due to lack of arm strength which isn't bad at all last season. If you watch him this year as compared to last year his arm strength is fantastic. That deep ball to Aiyuk and those intermediate passes are coming out fast and strong. The most important thing is how super accurate he is. We're not talking about completion percentage here. He seems to his the players right in the numbers. Anything that looks it is behind or too in front is done purposely. I believe he throws it at a certain spot to lead his receivers. He throws it to where his guy can get it.
the having tape on him is not an argument. What the film is going to show is a decisive quick releasing accurate QB that is mobile. Can kill blitzes. Any QB in the league that does this well will be trouble for the defense. That is what tape is going to say.
Nah. He still hasn't checked that box for when the team is down by 4 scores late in the 4th quarter and has to throw 5x 50 yard bombs to lead the team to victory yet. You know, like Mahomes, Allen and Hurts do every other game.

Cool and accurate as an assassin. And we haven't seen such an obsession with winning in a QB on this team in a long time.

Good news for the 49ers, bad news for everyone else in the league. From an article in the newsfeed.
"Griese and Purdy spent time talking about what it takes to develop trust so Purdy can get through his reads and get the ball out quick, trusting his pass catchers to be where they're supposed to be when they're supposed to be there and throwing with more anticipation.
Early returns suggest that Purdy has fully embraced that coaching point. He's improved his time before passing from 2.84 seconds (29th in the NFL in 2022) to 2.56 seconds (tied for sixth fastest). Despite the ball coming out faster, Purdy is pushing the ball further down the field (7.2 air yards per attempt, up 0.2 from last year) and getting bigger plays (9.1 yards per attempt, up from 8.4 last year).
What's more, a whopping 48.2% of Purdy's pass attempts have gained a first down or touchdown, the highest percentage in the league. Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is second at 47.8%, but every other quarterback is at 38.5% or below."

Probably that he could have completed that pass to McCaffrey lmao. Or that the first deep ball wasn't perfect. But I mean ffs the guy had a 97.2 QBR. Anyone trashing him after a near perfect performance like that loses their football card.
Did you see what the PFF guys said about him? The week 4 review for the game the little bald guy was trying to say that Purdy was trying to split the safeties with the deep pass to BA and that it was fortunate that he was do bad off target on that pass or else it would've been picked off. It seems pretty obvious that he was leading Aiyuk away from the safeties and almost overthrew Brandon.
He is playing great but no one is perfect. He mad a bad throw and it worked out. Great for the 49ers.

Agree, I'm still a big fan of his as a football player. The other non-football stuff, I can do without.

This play has been living rent free in my mind. I actually reached out to a former Eagles Coach who knows Gannon and his scheme real well to get the ins and outs of the coverage here.

I was never this excited about Kap. Kap wasn't a leader for one thing..he got tunnel vision, then his mind seemed to hop all over the place at times. He was a bit chaotic and overwhelmed it seemed. Brock mentally is better, a steady stream, he sees and feels the field better. He is like Joe Cool under pressure. He's just a better qb.

Yeach, he can definitely read the defenses better than Kaepernick.

That was not a bad throw, sorry. It was a low percentage throw insofar he let the ball go before Aiyuk fully settled in his route 45 yards downfield in tight double coverage, but the ball was put in a place only his guy could make a play. Bad throw my a*****e. Let's wait in the all-22.

That was *Money* - as in when Purdy's rookie contract is over, 49ers will show him the

f**k, if you pause the video right where Purdy releases the ball, it makes the throw and catch that much more insane. It's like he expects BA to break off the route to beat the over coverage to find the open space, almost like a QB would expect a receiver to do so on a back shoulder. It's some kind of anticipatory wizardry, or just plain luck. I don't know.
