QB Brock Purdy Thread

Just seeing this is our first primetime meeting with the cowgirls since 1990? How the hell can be? Seems like we should have at least had primetime games with them between 90 and 94. Guess the league wasn't as good at marketing under Tagliabue.

Probably more money in the Sunday afternoon games. Or maybe the scheduling rules were different. Was there even Sunday Night football then? But odd we didn't get Monday Night games against them in the 90s. Or maybe the NFL was just more innocent back then, as you seem to be implying.

Took a look at every Purdy dropback on a special, record setting day.

Good stuff JD. (I'm gonna call you JD from now on because it sounds badass)

On point on Brock not just predetermining where he's going with the ball. That cat has true vision.

Really want to thank JD for these breakdowns. We live in a beautiful time, and I only wish I had resources like this during the golden days. Being able to enjoy and savor not only every game, but almost every play is f**king unreal.

It's one thing to say that Purdy is processing quickly, making proper pre and post snap decisions, getting the ball to his playmakers, maneuvering within the pocket, etc. etc - which he is obviously doing at a very high level right now. I'm very happy that he's doing this at this level, at his age, and I can see the improvements from last year to this year which means he's only taking steps in the right direction.

Calling him a generational talent, and that term 'elite?' No way I can say that now.....and maybe I'll never truly say it. My definition regarding to those terms probably differs from most. Those type of guys are the ones who can deliver in the clutch. 1:30 left in the game, down by 4+. Can he deliver against a top tiered opponent? A guy who has no running game, no explosive targets, and is the absolute focal point for every defense he faces....and can still carry his team. A guy whose pocket collapses and he's getting a beating...can he still stand strong in the teeth of that pass rush and not flinch? A guy who raises his game in the bigger games - division games on the line, playoffs, Super Bowls. Elite is Joe Montana. He didn't build that case on trashing the Falcons for 400 yards and 4 TD's in some week 7 game. That made him an excellent QB. He built his legacy against the Cowboys and Bengals in two of the most famous drives in NFL history. He built his legacy against the Eagles in 1989 - probably the best game I've ever seen a QB play.

I'm NOT saying Purdy can't do stuff like this.....I have yet to see it on a consistent basis, because there simply hasn't been the body of work for me to come to that conclusion. I hope he is the guy.

Ready for primetime Purdy

I don't want Purdy down in games or playing with lesser talent than the opposition. I want him playing in situations just as he is now. This means we've put a great team around him. I don't want that to change and I don't want Purdy having to carry a bunch of bums

Steven Ruiz is an arrogant moron.
His ranking is stupid. I mean he had Justin Herbert above Joe Burrow in his ranking before the beginning of the season.
He's a guy that thinks that franchises should draft QB almost every year in the first round in order to find someone super athletic and with a big arm like Josh Allen, Mahomes or Justin Herbert. He would have hated Joe.
And he's certainly one of those that think that Purdy is just average at best and is the product of Shanahan.

As for Purdy, let's chill a little bit about his level or his future. He's a really good QB that's for sure. And it's impressive the way he plays after his injury. He's even better than last season IMHO. But the season is long.
You know Brock's strenght is that he's never too high and never too low. He's not lying to himself thinking that he's the next Montana or Brady. He's conscious that he's lucky to play for this team, with this coach, these playmakers and that defense.
He's competitive and wants to win the Superbowl but after the game against the Steelers he was the one asking everyone to just focus on the next game and that's it.
Brock is living in the present and I think he fits really well in this team with the type of personalities the locker room has.

Lots here I could comment on but not really worth my energy

The Purdy party is a fun ride, join anytime:)

I don't want Purdy to ever lose another game, bring home as many Super Bowls as years played, etc. This is not reality. Purdy, like every QB in the history of the NFL who plays enough, will face scenarios as I have outlined. Nowhere did I say I want Purdy to 'carry bums' but I am sure you know the history of the recent 49ers and their obscene amount of injuries? IMO, what I have stated is what separates good/great QB's and 'elite/generational talent' QB's.

Yup... I agree, though I will say I would like to see Purdy perform in a shootout or say maybe we get down 20 points. Have a game winning drive or a comeback. He's had one or two opportunities like vs the Raiders but we're not going to blow out every team. To me, this is the next step towards cementing himself as that guy

What non +1 arm can hit a 20 yard out route from the opposite hash on a dime? Apparently "noodle arm" Purdy can.

Only Noodle Arm QBs can hit those.

Okay, name ONE player in the history of the NFL who could actually meet that criteria.

And yesterday people thought I was being sarcastic about some folks expectations at the QB position.
