I don't recall you saying noodle arm, but you definitely said it was bottom tier (I think you said bottom 3-5 in the league) and correct me if I'm wrong - felt that his lack of arm strength would cost us games and possibly a chance at winning the Super Bowl. That was a big point you made about Jimmy; that his physical limitations would hold the offense back from being elite. Do you still feel this way about Purdy? Do you still think that we should be drafting and looking for a QB with elite physical gifts, to replace Purdy?
The reason you get some much s**t in here is because despite praising Purdy (which you do), you find a way to bring up his lack of elite arm strength as if it's something he has to overcome. After this many games, I simply do not see any possible way that arm strength is an issue for him.
I said it wasn't a positive and yes bottom tier. I didn't bring up his arm anything…someone went out of their way to say he had the same arm strength as Kap/Lance and any objective normal person would absolutely disagree with that statement.
We won't know it's a real issue until it is…so far so good with him overall though. You can be a good even great QB without have a high end arm. We've had examples of it. Doesn't mean they had strong arms even though they were successful.
people toss s**t towards me (and a select few) because if you're not completely positive about a 49er QB, then you're a hater. It's no different than the crap debates we had for years about Jimmy with the same people defending anything that wasn't great.
