Yup. Not surprised. Got tricked into thinking we found that guy again.
This is the most painful of all, because after 13 games I really thought "surely it's not a mistake or a fluke…" it was
This team will never find a franchise QB again in my lifetime.
Purdy only plays well when we are leading or to an extent when the game is tied. That's it.
Not a franchise QB. Brady, Mahomes or Seahawks Russell Wilson wins last night's game blindfolded. Franchise quarterbacks get game-winning drives when they're supposed to.
Didn't Purdy lead a last minute drive just last week that put this team in position to win?
If memory serves me Purdy has had 3 opportunities to lead game winning drives in his very short career & in 2 of the 3 he helped put the team in fg range only to have the kicker miss a fg.
Getting a team in FG range with 2 minutes or less for a winning kick is fairly easy the way today's game is played. Getting a winning TD is another matter. You can't just keep taking all the underneath stuff that the D always seems to allow on final drives. Sooner or later you have to hit a big one. We all know how much tighter things get when you get inside the 10 or the 5. The DBs don't have as much ground to cover and the receivers don't have room to maneuver.
Purdy threw 2 bad INTs in the final 5 minutes of the game.
So he couldnt get it done in the first game he was in that situation. So thats a wrap then? Hes not a franchise qb? time to move on? hire shannon sharpe to find our next qb?
At this point I think we can forget about ever finding a franchise QB with this regime. Soooo many chances and not a single one has panned out. Same under Harbaugh.
Montana and Young used up all our good QB karma and this season has been the exclamation point on proving that.
You would have given up on Steve after his first year as our starter
