I'm sure Brock is way more concerned with winning the SB than the MVP award. If they win the SB he probably will win the SB MVP.

Brock is probably way too concerned about beating the Cards than anything else.

He's on the air talking about his rehab. He feels his arm is stronger because of all the rehab exercises he did. He said he will continue those same exercises from now on to keep his arm strong. He said he never really threw the deep ball much in college and the deep pass is a new part of his game. That helps explain why the scouting reports downgraded him.

Its funny that the harder a player works on his game - he gets better!

Also that injury may have been a blessing in disguise by giving him exercises to grow his arm strength. If not for the injury - yeah we might have won a Superbowl, but forego future ones becuase his arm isn't as strong as it could be, but for those exercises.

Sort of how losing all those QBs to injuries last year uncovered our future franchise quarterback.

Good point. He kind said that he didn't realize how much those types of exercises could help. There's no question that he's able to throw deeper now. Last year when he threw beyond 25-30 yards the balls would kind of tail off at the end or hang up a bit. Now there's more zip. I doubt he could have made that pass to Deebo last year. That traveled 45 yards from scrimmage and about 55 in the air. If was right on the money with no hang time.

Everything seems on the up and up and then one morning he crashes his suv into a tree outside the front of his house, lol.

Just going back and reviewing Brock's passes, it is mind-blowing just how many are of the 35, 40, 45 yds in the air and are usually right on the money. And he isn't throwing just a couple to get the DBs to back off. He throws a lot of them, and right at 50% are completions ,which is just crazy good. Yes he has some terrific ball catchers but man does he ever throw a beautiful 45 yarder. For the close in stuff, or bailouts, those are routinely on target to guys who are goofy great with YAC. Add in his escapability, his knowing when to run (and fortunately not very often), plus his 7th sense in the pocket, his faking (very much like Joe), his instant D reads and even faster knowing where ball has to go…that is the stuff of LEGEND. Not Joe's but his own.

For that to happen, he will have to have tons more playoff wins, and if he wins it all several times or more, LEGEND is right around the corner. So far, we have not seen Brock bothered by anything (other than UCL). He is Joe -like in that it seems nothing bothers him. All the makings are there. Now we just have to sit back and wait and see if he can continue this thru playoffs and SB Ws.

9ers have not been this exciting since Joe and that one yr of Steve's . Brock has got it all…just keep him healthy.

Cowherd had a piece about Shanny and why he deserves to be considered for Coach of the year. Yes he has a lot of talent but he uses it better than anyone. Brock, Aiyuk, Deebo and CMCare all having great years and part of that has to be the way Kyle is scheming these guys open all over the field. Short, medium and deep Or is it a run? Defenses can't cover these guys because he keeps disguising what he's doing.

The Niners have thrown the fewest passes per game of any team in the league but they rank third in pass yardage. I know some is because Deebo and Kittle are YAC monsters but they still need to be ope so Brock can throw to them. Kyle has had to replace 2 really good DCs in recent seasons and they just get better. In head t head matchups with GOOD teams he usually comes out on top.

Great players need great coaching. Great coaches need great players. Thus team has both as well as a good front office and an owner that isnt sticking his nse in all the time. They have everything they need to win. Now do it.

I will say this, after Brocky's first preseason game last year as a rookie I said he was a much better QB than that Trey guy ever will be, but I had no idea he would become a legend.

Everyone pushing the "Brock Purdy is just a byproduct of an elite supporting cast"-narrative just totally neglects to mention that he has a bottom-5 offensive line

I legit thought numbers like this would be impossible playing behind an OL this bad. Only Joe Burrow comes close pic.twitter.com/kR6spYnI0r

Back in 2019 42.5% of our total passing yards came off of playaction. In 2023 so far only 27.6% of our total passing yards have come off of playaction. That is a huge difference.

I think the simplest answer is the best answer - there's more confidence in the traditional dropback passing game now compared to then.

Why not a mix of both.

I wasn't aware Manziel did the same.. but I guess the lesson is, if it's under the sun, Manziel has probably done it
