Arm strength cost him 1 play in today's game IMO. The throw across his body that Aiyuk trapped.

Yep. Im expecting that throw to be in his "noodle arm" highlight reel.
i really think the noise about purdy being a system QB and game manager is messing with his game.

Montana's arm is probably still better than Brock's today. It certainly was back in the 80s and 90s.

Probably slightly better. The era's don't make a huge difference.

Montana and Young had average arms compared to their peers. People like referencing Elway and Marino but they were the tip top. Plenty of others inbetween them and our two all time greats.

This game wasn't close enough to come down to a rookie kicker. 3 picks in the last 2 games say you don't know what you're talking about. Moving on now.

Good luck to you.

He choked plain and simple. BCB = Big Choke Brock.

You've been waiting for this haven't you? Well enjoy it. It's your time to shine lol

Not waiting on it. I was getting ready to crown him after the Dallas game. I thought maybe he wasn't another Jimmy and we weren't be suckered again. I started to even think maybe he is the next Montana/Brees/Brady like everyone was saying here after a handful of games.

Welp. That's dead.

Sure, sure. You weren't waiting on it.



So, these last two games outweigh all the other good games he's had? You feel like you've been suckered again?

Not going through this s**t again. Jimmy got to coast on going 5-0 back in 2017 for years. Not interested in watching Brock do the same thing.

I really think it's true.
Lol arm strength had nothing to do with anything. Air yards and the deep ball are the most worthless stats alive.

No, those people actually saw him play live, unlike you, who only sees highlights and think those were a regular occurrence.

Bill Walsh wrote books about the short passing game being the focus of the offense.

Umm, I watched him play as a rookie. I even watched his predecessor's Steve Deberg and Jim plunkett before Walsh and Montana came to the niners. You have no idea how old I am moron.

Meh, you're still not making your case. Those are not the examples you think they are. They are not special throws from an arm strength perspective.

Well, its true his arm wasnt great. But back in our old days, players were not as fast as they are now. Qb's were able to get away with not having a cannon for an arm. But these days, players are long and extremely fast. You better have a cannon arm if you want to threaten every part of the football field. Otherwise, defenses have a shorter smaller field to defend.
Purdy is about to be roasted by the media all week, I gotta avoid these damn sports shows until Sunday
you like that purdy, you like that !
The defense was atrocious tonight, but remember: This guy had two chances to put the offense in position to score a go-ahead TD. And he failed miserably on both drives. He was part of the problem tonight.

Those two guys were pioneers in an offensive system that devalued arm strength, or at least removed its necessity. Timing based short passing routes… not the classic vertical game.

The big arm guys fail to execute and make bad decisions too. That's what happened to our guy tonight. I wouldn't feel better if he zipped an inaccurate throw with bad timing right to a defender either.

I've seen too many great plays from Brock. He's for real. The first pick looked like he was anticipating Jennings to come across. The second was unexplainable. Hope he got most of them out of his system!

This

There is way too much pressure on Purdy when the D is s**t and Moody missing fgs..Kyle being Kyle..Brock can't do it all. Looks like he had the whole world on his shoulders out there. And he kinda did.
Yes…that's the business. Kinda why QB is one of the hardest position in sports. Especially with this team…lotta good players in their prime

He's not Montana yet, bringing his team back from behind. He's got a bit of the Joe-cool poise. I think he'll face a number of these kinds of games in his career, and I expect that he'll carry his team.

Tonight the glory goes to one of the cousins...
