QB Brock Purdy Thread

i blame college programs, TBH. A lot of them just don't teach the fundamentals and rely on just the raw talent. Outside of Alabama, Michigan, and Georgia - I feel most players are super underdeveloped.

look at USC. I mean do they even coach on defense? It's insane

I've been watching sports for around 50 years so I can speak on experience. There are only so many hours in a day, and today's athletes spend more time in the weight room than they do practicing the craft that got them where they are today. As as result, the athleticism is through the roof and the fundamentals have fallen off. It's just far more accepted because first and foremost, the sports industry has grown by leaps and bounds to what it was in the early/mid 1970's. The $ is the bottom line.

Why are we debating Cam's resume? It doesn't seem that relevant beyond him being a former NFL QB. Nobody brings up JTO's or Chase Daniels' careers when their opinions get posted here.

He made it relevant by denigrating the subject of this thread. Ring knows this, he's not that dim. All you need to know about Cam is that down by four points in the Superbowl, he decided not to even try to dive on a loose ball that might very well have given his team a chance to win the game. He was always a celf-centered type, and though he was a great athlete, he was mediocre, at best, as a qb.

It's still not relevant. His point was weak and inconsistent on its own, his career doesn't really matter.

I think he's just trying to get attention for his podcast. His career is what the talking heads are trying to use to try and validate his hot-take. He might just be salty because he isn't getting any calls from the NFL to come play.

100% this. He is aware of the Grant Cohn/Nick Wright school of journalism which is to say ridiculous things that get people riled up and go "Wait he said WUT?" because people love paying attention to people who say ridiculous things.

In a nutshell this -
"Hey look over here, look at me, look at ME! Hey Brock is a GAME MANAGER! Yeah! Waddya think of that huh?? Woohoo! Wait dont look away, like and subscribe!! Please??"

I mean, compare the deep ball differences. not just every completed deep Purdy pass vs. every Jimmy INT. lol

moony talking about the super bowl - their plan was to put the ball into jimmys hands and he said "Kyle kept running it all game but at the end, he started passing for some reason and we took over". Lmao damn you jimmy!!

i didn't realize that ward has played in the championship game every year of his career

Kyle relying so heavily on the running game that entire playoff run was such a huge mistake. regardless if it was intentional to keep it out of Jimmy's hands or not.

True, and as with all opinions, there's folks that will agree, and there will be folks that disagree. But the facts are the facts. An 80% winning percentage pretty much sums it up, and that is a fact, not an opinion.

Cam is still mad at 49ers for this beatdown:

I think it's this vicious, dirty hit that makes him hate the 49ers.

NFCC. I was at that game lol

Idk why some posters act like a qb being "good" means they're one of the best qbs in the league. Lol there aren't that many QBs in the league who start that do a "good job". The drop offs are huge for the qb position after like the 15th best qb in the league.

elite QBs: there are usually only about 3-5 of these a year. This year is a super down year for QBs, so maybe only like 1-2 QBs playing elite l.

Really good but not elite: usually ranked 4-8 best QBs of these a year.

good (essentially consistent game managers): usually ranked as about 8-15th best QBs a year

unreliable/low end game managers/crap: usually the 15-32 ranked QBs in a year.

These are your own set definitions though. Others can define the levels completely different than yours and justify the means.

Do you make dumb posts like this cause you're trying to be funny? I can't tell if you're just trying to be funny or if you're serious but you do it so often that I have to think you think you're funny.

you literally deleted out the part where I said it's subjective. This is like the 1000th time you've done this. It's very strange and quite concerning.

Reminds me of an Eric Davis quote from before a '94 Dallas game. Michael Irvin was tearing things up and Davis was going to have to guard him. Davis said he wasn't worried about Irvin because he had to practice against Jerry Rice every day, and Jerry never took a play off, even in practice.

You're delusional if you don't think Cam was trying to paint himself as a "game changer" and insert himself into the comparison. Acting like he's watching film and actually analyzing these QB's lol.

Cam was a "game changer". Right now if you insert Cam in a college program that program would be in contention for the chip because of the systems they run. You have to change your gameplan to account for him offensively and defensively. You can't play Cam the same way you would a pocket passer. That is changing the game. Now, that said, that doesn't mean that will work on the NFL level consistently over a long period of years. You can change the game but once folk adapt, if you have not evolved you will be left behind.

Cam's opinion is biased and as an NFL MVP, and NFCCG winner, a Heisman winner and a National Championship game winner he can say his opinion and I don't have to like it but I have to respect his right to speak it

If you put a fat OL in at QB and ran the tush push every play, that would change the game too. That is not what Cam meant by game changer vs game manager.

It was a Divisional round playoff game, not NFC Championship.

Focus more on the true values of each, and less on what Cam "means." What Cam means shouldn't keep you up at night.

I know dudes like this and I know what they mean. When you are gifted you believe that others that did not hit the genetic lottery have little to no value as compared to you. You get to a place where you cannot accept that these individuals are better at an undertaking than you despite the evidence staring you right in your face.

To a guy like Cam, who made defensive coordinators "change their gameplan" in how they would defend him vs a pocket passer and then went on to accomplish what he accomplished in his youth on every level, they believe this is what it should look like. Thing is though he in my opinion, ignorantly leaves out that Brock has "changed the game" for the 49ers in a different way. We can tell by looking at how our offense has now surpassed the defense in game to game effectiveness. Brock did that. Brock changed the game!

We score more, we win more, we go deep more, we get the ball to more playmakers and we break team offensive records more. Just the mere fact that we now have after 20 or more years a QB that is in consideration for NFL MVP, Pro Bowl and maybe All Pro is a HUGE change for us. He is our game changer and that is my opinion
