QB Brock Purdy Thread

Cam Newton was a 1 read and run QB who's career faded just as quickly as his athleticism.

Very similar to Kaepernick in that regard.

Cam EARNED NFL MVP playing QB. Only a handful alive can make that claim. He's entitled more so than I to have an opinion on this. I just believe he's wrong and there will be a LOT of teams looking for their own Brock Purdy when all is said and done because a LOT of teams are trying to have an offensive "system" in place like ours if not carbon copies and they'd be thrilled to have a QB like Brock that can be both the distributor and the playmaker that Brock has shown to be this year.

Brock is throwing guys open hitting them in stride diagnosing coverages and processing what he's seeing pre and post snap at lighting quick efficiency. He's also doing a bang up job sifting through the trash in the pocket and buyin that extra second or two to find our guys. He is not only throwing for first downs but also big play touchdowns and he's efficient in the red zone and in getting explosive plays

I realized last Sunday that now I'm at the point to where every time Brock drops back and releases the ball the target will be found every time for a completion and not a turnover or a bad play. I haven't felt this way since we had Steve Young and I felt the same way about Drew Brees when he was the best QB in the league better than Brady and Manning

This is remarkable as Brock has barely started 20 games for us. Dude unbelievably came into te league with the hunger and competitiveness and the experience to hit the field pro ready and ready to navigate Kyle's offense

Ain't no game I'm concerned about winning with this team vs any other this year and right now Brock would get my MVP vote right up there with Dak and CMC. Anyone saying anything but good things about Brock right now is one miserable person. It's like, can you imaging someone saying anything bad about CMC? That's the level Brock is nearly playing at!

Thats the feeling I got when Joe played in games. If he didn't make any mistakes, we generally would win the game.

And CAR would have spent that draft pick on him time and again if they knew they were gonna get a 7 year franchise guy that could take them to Super Bowl and have a chance to win it. I remember seasons when Rodgers, Brees, Manning and Brady (only won because Pete decided to pass at the goal line) could not overcome the LOB but Cam because of his physique could stand up to them and beat them even in SEA during the peak years of the Legion of Boom. The same LOB that decimated Manning prior to him getting a defense on par with SEA the following year. Cam had his time albeit short and in that time he was able to accomplish things only a handful alive can claim. He EARNED his right to his opinion and if a team needed a quick fix band aid to get to a chip and win a Super Bowl then prime Cam would be an instant cheat code

Now Purdy on the other hand, a guy that plays the position between his ears to compensate for not having a physique like Cam is the type of guy that excels in the way we are playing ball and it is a sustainable style of play that can grant one a 10 to 15 year career. In life there are folk supremely gifted from the heavens above and that alone gives them the chance to be elite for a time and then there are others with certain gifts but a keen sense of intuition and self awareness and an abundance of work ethic that can create for themselves a lane in which to thrive for a longer time than the supremely gifted one.

Me personally, I think Brock may be on the path to giving us that Montana type franchise cornerstone the next 10 to 15 years just like Montana and Brees. Those are lofty aspirations but it looks as if he may be on that tract even this early because just like Montana and Brees had their Walsh and Payton, Purdy has his Kyle Shanahan. Sometimes you get a pairing at QB and play caller that just works and it sure seems as if we have found that pairing

The 2 biggest differences between JG & BP from what I see is : #1 JG is not as accurate as BP. #2 Where JG would take the check down most of the time, BP will go for the kill shot further down the field. Also Brock hits the receivers in stride more than JG did. I'm glad we have him

I would also add that Brock has been one of the better QB's in avoiding sacks and making plays out of structure while Jimmy was one of the worst.

If we are going to mention only two 'biggest differences', one of them should be the ability to read defenses. imo
1. ability to quickly diagnose defenses
2. everything else

Because of the way that Cam actually won NFL MVP and how he was able to stand up to SEA I would have to give Cam the edge. Cam was running QB power on SEA defensive front breaking tackle extending plays and breaking their backs during his peak looking like a man playing amongst boys out there. He was not an elite pocket QB processor but he had his time to shine and he did so he has his right to his opinion wrong as it may be

Yeah. I understand that people are getting annoyed at these critics, but honestly who gives a f**k what they say. The more upset you get, the more power their opinions will be. It's why I never watch the Skips, the Nick Wrights, and the Stephen A Smiths. These guys think their opinion is gold cause people illicit strong responses to them. Brock is elite and idc what anyone has to say about him.

Jimmy is under the inexplicable type of qb. He'll give you occasional mistakes during the game, where you can't explain it. You ask him what happened, and he can't explain it either. So you end up with the same type of mistakes every game. He's like a CPU that can handle 3-4 open apps functional at a time. Beyond that, if it crashes, he can't tell you what happened.

When Brock makes a mistake, he knows exactly what happened. His awareness on the field is elite. You can open 6-8 apps at the same time with Brock. On the rare occasion it crashes, he sent the error report to the coaches, get it fixed, you don't see the same mistakes again.

Were you satisfied with Jimmy because we went to the SB with him? Do you believe that Cam makes the SB without the defense they had in CAR?

Yup. Lets keep on going. I am sure there is a laundry list of reasons for why Brock is better than Jimmy.

I think Cam is the first former QB to say this kind of stuff about Brock. Up till now, all former NFL QBs have been complimentary of Brock and pointed out the finer aspects of QBing that Brock has been displaying. Cam is the first one that has given a bad hot take version of an analysis.

Right, when Joe played, I wasn't worried much at all. Things just happened. It's kinda like those days again 🥹.

I mean most of the qbs that praise him have a similar play style. Cam is a much different animal. He's a linebacker playing QB. I was a huge Cam fan growing up. He was a beast in college and in his nfl prime. But he never displayed the processing ability and game management that Brock did. Everything had to go his way in order for him to be good and all smiles. But as soon as there is diversity, he stumbles a bit and pouts. So I get why he would have his opinions of Brock. Brock couldn't do the things that Cam did, but Cam could never do the things that Brock does. If he did, he would've never have been beaten by Mac Jones for the starting job, and he wouldn't be begging for an nfl job at this moment.

If you guys put 'system' qb in the thread title, i don't have to create a system qb thread for Brock
