I'm not a big fan of critiquing any QB in a win, and as you know I defended Jimmy a lot for those exact games/throws. I think he did enough to beat the Cowboys and even the Chiefs in the Super Bowl; plenty of blame to go around there.

What Purdy has revealed though, is that Jimmy's limitations (whether they are physical or mental) were holding back the potential of Kyle's system. Kyle NEEDS a QB like Purdy who is willing and able to push the limits of the structure and know when to operate outside of it. The offense is unlocked, clearly. To then criticize that very aspect of his game, and say that he should eliminate it - is insane to me. As that is the very thing that was missing from Jimmy's game.

And yes, when you add in the fact that he's young and much less experienced than Jimmy, should afford him that much more leeway to make mistakes and see just how far he can push the limits that I described.

It wasn't just a lack of out of structure ability or scrambling ability that limited the offense here under Jimmy. It was failure to read and process defenses, poor field vision, spotty accuracy, bad decision making… within the structure of the offense.

We want Brock to bring playmaking elements outside of structure in this offense. There's a hell of a lot more than just the example of yesterday, which we generally, in almost every case, do not want. Got away with it and got a good result. Let's not do it again outside of necessity.

His spray chart for JAC looks like an inverse of a typical Kyle passing offense.

Maybe it looked the way it tended to look for all these years because Jimmy G was the quarterback?

maybe one day people will stop comparing brock to jimmy

lol do these guys ever watch the games?

Did he really say that? Brock made more difficult throws yesterday than he probably has in any other game in his career. That's reflected in his career high PFF grade for the game as PFF tends to reward making higher difficulty plays.

That won't happen for a few years. Once Brock surpasses a certain level all memory of Jimmy will fade, just like all memory of the One Ring faded over the eons in Middle Earth.

The throw to Kittle was elite difficulty. That throw would have been great from a clean pocket, as was said by the commentator. To make that throw whilst the pocket is crushing you, while also having pump faked to move the safety, is nothing short of elite. Period.

This might be the best throw of Brock Purdy's young career. Engulfed in pressure, understanding the coverage and knowing there's no safety help over George Kittle and letting him go make a play.

Tell Brock he's too short to see over the linemen in the NFL

After the Ambry Thomas TD taken away. It was 3rd and 9 about to be 3&out, Brock dropped a dime to Aiyuk on the right sideline with 2 defenders on him. No margin for errors. Most underrated throw by Brock of the game.
