Ya it's not easy. There's so many other coaches out there that only have a couple of wins in that scenario.
It's a stupid stat that people will throw out that don't know football.
Indeed. Comebacks are hard to do. We see them often, but from different teams. Usually, teams lose under those conditions. A LOT. And to add, if you think about it, you'd have to figure most QBs, coaches, and franchise have abyssmal records under those circumstances because if they didn't, what coniditions are they losing their games under? In the NFL, you will lose games :-). So either they are down by 4+ and can't comeback, or they are tied and surrender the lead, or they have a lead and are letting teams comeback on them. There are no other scenarios. If most of your loses are by the latter two, coaches lose jobs for that kind of stuff and QBs have their replacement drafted.

To add on, Brock had every reason to play bad. It was wet. He lost Deebo (and man does our offense look different without him). His OL played poorly. CMC didn't have a great game outside of a handful of plays.
But he sure nutted up when it counted
...and he outplayed two of the QBs that were rated above him by the national media.
BPs game stats were not terrible either.
Definitely not good, but I'm glad we finally got a game like this out of the way. It really was an all-time great drive.

Worst game I have seen from Purdy but yet was clutch at the end and have a couple of tough good throws. Odd performance overall but my take away is he can't really play in the rain. Weird negative to have I guess we'll have to live with
It is. We saw him improve his obvious flaws last year. I don't expect any less this next offseason.

No, sir. He actually makes plays when it counts.
lol no he does not.
Did you watch the end of the game? Knew his throwing was off when it was wet and got us close to the goal for the go-ahead.
he was lucky, that's all. it's not the first time that he sucked when the game was tight. I don't have the feeling that he can carry this offense yet.
With all the tools in the shed and in the right conditions, I think he has.
Only questions that remain is when you take those things away and things that caused him to slip in the draft, like those tiny hands.
Not sure what you can do in the draft but with Deebo out and all the pressure on him, he certainly trended in the right direction.
I'm certain we'll be looking @ a backup QB to draft that can come in here and develop.

Darnold
Darnold will likely go somewhere he believes he can compete to be the starter, and will cost too much for the Niners next year.
His opportunity to be a starter is gone.
Basically. I can't see a team running with Darnold. As I look at the rest of the NFL, what team would even offer him a chance to be QB1? You can say a team like New England, Pittsbugh, Tennessee, Giants, and Atlanta. It's a lot of teams, but Darnold isn't a longterm guy. He proved that in the Rams game- it was great with arguably the best offensive talent in the NFL and then fell off when those guys were out of the game. We shall see. If I'm Darnold, I'd get a few years under my belt in this system, then can probably have a job until 40 if he wants it with how much this system has spread over the NFL. A few years of experience here makes him valuable to Cincinnati, the Jets, Dolphins, Rams, Texans, and wherever Bobby Slowik ends up in 2025.
