A lot of people were just emotionally invested him from the previous year or two. Also, some really evaluate someone's potential off of physical tools. They think without the physical tools, they're doomed to never be elite.

I also think people were scared of being betrayed by him like we were jimmy. Lol
That scoring drive in the 3rd qtr to get to 21pts. All Purdy making plays. Scrambled to the left to find a deep throw to Aiyuk. The throw to Woerner with free blitzer zeroing in his face, calmly threw to Woerner. Scrambled to the right, 3rd &5, threw across his body to the middle to Deebo.

Brock can definitely play backyard ball. Create something out of little. But why the he'll would he do that if he doesn't have to most of the time. Not just the weapons. Brock makes it go too.

No, I think Kap only begun to unite the fanbase with his wins against GB and Carolina. Even in the GB game, a lot of us were pissed with how he threw an INT at the start.

2013, don't recall us rallying behind him in particular either, especially with how Seattle set the tone early that season.

Sounds you weren't on board lol. Like I said you will never find a fan base 100% behind their QB at all times. Just how it works

I got on board after he proceeded to kick GB's ass lol. It's very hard for the niners' qb not to become my favorite player, unless there's a Frank Gore there.

Purdy though, I do think has united the fanbase, which is crazy considering how volatile the offseason was.

Some people were stupidly obsessed with cannon arm.

Some people were late in recognizing the greatness in Brock.

replace darnold with Brock and we are probably not looking at having the 1 seed. I imagine we would still be good but I highly doubt anywhere as good as our offense is now.

if we lose either of them, we are in serious trouble, but if I had to choose - I'd rather have Brock. I like our chances with Brock and no CMC more than I like our chances with darnold and CMC.

it would really suck and have a big drop off if we lost either of them but QB is still the most important position and I think our chances of winning it all are higher with Brock and no cmc Vs darnold and cmc. Just my opinion. I pray to god neither happens.

That is my opinion as well. Purdy is playing outstanding football, and is by far the most important player given largely due to position....but this offense starts with the running game, and CMC.


Hehe. Just another week for Purdy. Again

The offseason wasn't volatile at all IMO, a few fans wanted to be right about Lance.

Don't think he will get it, but its great just to be nominated.

Yeah, without looking at his stats, it's most likely Dak just because Dallas vs Eagles was a big game.

I don't get too wrapped up in the statistical ranking or all time numbers because the game is so different than it was in the 80s. Nearly every rue change since then has helped the offense and hampered the D. We also have one more regular season game now so season totals are bound to be greater. I remember when they went from 14 to 16 games. Thousand yard rushers were no longer a big deal.

The only thing that's important is winning it all this year. Individual awards are fine but the Lombardi is what it's all about. Brock would much rather have that than the MVP.

Since Brock will most likely take down the all most passing yards in 49ers history before game 17, I find that impressive, but you're right that it's a completely different game. It SHOULD of been broken years ago if we had better qb play. All the rules benefit the QBs and O these days.

I'm greedy and want all our guys to win the accolades but I'll take no reg season awards and the super bowl mvp 😎

I went back and looked at the 1985 QB rankings
It really reveals how much the passing game has changed. Two players had a completion percentage over 60. Montana was first at 61.3 % O'Brien was second at 60.9%. Everyone else including Marino, Elway, Simms, Fouts and so on were all less than 60%. in 2023 the leaders are 70% and you have to go all the way down to 25th to find any QB under 60%

Passer rating was similar. There were 3 guys were over 90 in 1985. O'Brien was at 96.2, Esiason was at 93.2 and Montana was at 91.3. Everyone else was under 90. Today there are at least 12 QBs with a higher rating than Montana including Purdy at 116. It's just much easier for receiver to get open in the middle of the field where completions are easier with the rues the way they are. Receivers don't need to worry abut getting knocked off their feet when they come across the middle on those 12 yard patterns. Comparing Brock to other QBs in this era is fine. They all play by the same rules.

I think CMC is super important in just the overall offense. He could be a starting WR in this league. His ability to be positionless, and damn good at any role he is put in, makes this offense so difficult to read.

i think it's why Kyle has such a hard time taking him, he can disguise play calls and attempt different things with CMC in Vs a more traditional back. CMC really opens up the pass game in a lot of ways too, stretches the field cause defenses have to worry about covering him. He's def vital, no doubt.

FedEx should just go ahead and hire him.

Yeah, I don't think a lot of 35 and younger fans realize how amazing those stats were for the time. Dan Marino 1984 season is the most impressive to me of all time. To put up those numbers in that time is like 6.5k passing and 70 TDs today.

I was on board. I think most fans were. Kap added an explosive dynamic that we sorely lacked with Alex. There was a portion of the fan base that thought Alex was finally turning the corner and playing good ball. I personally hated how conservative Alex was and bad on third down.

Until someone plays at an elite level consistently and wins a chip, there will always be a crowd of whiners. Just the way it is, I don't think that's unique to our fan base.

Agreed every fan base complains about their QB

I also don't think it's always whining. Some fans didn't want to settle. Some folks in here were right to complain about Jimmy's play even though they were still winning… same with Alex imo.

Would certainly make more money than that 7th rd contract Especially as an endorsement
