Really good article about the offense and Purdy by a journalist covering the Eagles.

Nice article. I love that the author touched on the one thing that makes the 49er offense very unique - its use of 21 personnel, and CMC/Deebo being positionless. No other offense in the NFL has those two aspects, and that makes gameplanning for the 49ers a unique experience for DCs. So many teams prioritize the slot CB over the 3rd LBer, and the 49ers use of 21 puts focus on the 3rd LBer. From there, so many issues are presented as they figure out how to defend CMC in the slot, Deebo in the backfield, etc.

You don't recall telling ppl that if they don't think BP has a noodle arm, they are fibbing?

Nope because I never said noodle arm. I said he doesn't have a plus arm and it will never be a positive trait of his.

I never said Brock and Tom Brady in the same sentence.

You said Brock & Montana in the same sentence…the guy who brady and I both call the GOAT.

You said he has a passable arm when he arguably has the best arm in the NFL based on facts and statistics.

You said he has a weak arm and it's bottom tier in the league

Who said noodle arm? His arm strength isn't at the level of Lance and Kap which is what the discussion was about. Stop pretending it is. Simple as that

He leads the NFL in deep ball passing.
He leads the NFL in accuracy from all distances.
He leads the league in passer rating.

That's a great arm.


Are you changing your argument from passable arm to not as strong of an arm as some guys? How are you measuring that?

Brock def had a tough game against the browns but the browns are a very good defense. If I remember right, we also lost deebo/Trent/CMC and were playing in rough weather. Yet Brock still managed to have us in position to win it.

so it would be difficult to replicate what they did.

So gameplan for no Deebo, no Trent. I hope PHI does that.

That's a great arm

Brock doesn't have a special arm or anything but his "arm talent" is more than enough. He def doesn't hold him back, it just doesn't make it where he can be late all the time and still fit the ball in like a Mahommes/Allen. Most guys don't have that kind of arm, it's rare. It's even rarer to see a guy with that kind of arm and the rest of Brock's traits.

I'll take Brock's traits and his current arm than a much better arm and worse traits. Lol

having great "arm talent" has to be one of the most overrated aspects of evaluating a qb ever, IMO. It's almost like saying a guy has a great 40, so he has great leg talent. Lol so much more to running great routes and creating space than being fast.

I don't know if this is true, but a coworker of mine who is a Panthers fan told me a story yesterday. He said that the owner of the Panthers loved one of our plays that we ran earlier this year. He handed it over to Frank Reich and told them to "run this play next game." They didn't do it and ultimately there was a falling out between Reich and Panthers ownership which led to his firing.

The point I'm trying to make is the Panthers can never emulate what we do. Not in a million years. They do not have the personnel or know how to execute whatever play it was. Other teams can look at the Browns game, but do they have the D coordinator or personnel to mimic what they do? No, they do not. They are arguably the #1 D in the NFL with a crappy offense to boot.

good comp tank, it would be like saying you want Darius Heyward Bey (if we remember him lol) over Rice cuz he can run faster in a straight line
or that Rice has 'limitations' cuz 40 time

the eagles defense definitely has the potential to defend the niners like the browns did, plus it's also raining so there's that.
