He's definitely shown to struggle in the couple bad weather we games he's played. Hopefully he can figure out a way to consistently grip the ball.

I think part of it was him just taking chances and trying to fit balls into super tight areas, sometimes being late doing it. I think some of it was defenses confusing him and him relying on expecting someone to be there but he read the defense wrong and would just throw it. I think those are places he can improve upon for sure.

what gives me confidence that he will is that he seems to learn and adjust his game really quickly once a scheme gives him a hard time. I'm hoping we see less of that this upcoming year. I felt like he was worse about his rookie year and then improved his second year (but still made that mistake just not as often). Will be fun to follow and see if he improves

Do you think it's due to how he throws? Size of his hands? Both?

what I mean by throws is that he doesn't really squeeze the ball a lot before he throws it (just an example. Idk if he actually does that). Cause he def struggled in wet games.

Doesn't have those big hands like some of those good shorter QBs have (Wilson/Brees) people make fun of it, but hand size does matter somewhat.

overall he's the guy and you gotta take the good with the bad. I'm hoping a full off season of practicing and doing his normal QB guru stuff will help with some deficiencies, always be improving.

What's kinda wild is Caleb Williams is legit almost identical in size to Brock.

Probably both. Also think it got a little mental for him at least in the GB game. Glove on, glove off… kind of searching for an answer.

Brock needs to rub pine sap on his fingers when it's raining.

I don't think Brock is a big guy but I also don't think he's small like some make him out to be. Hes very thick too. He's the same height as guys like Rodgers, mahommes, hurts etc.

In my opinion, it makes winning the 1 seed that much more important (unless we travel somewhere that has a dome). I know Cali was a little wet this last post season but I don't feel like that's normal and usually the rain there is relatively light.

49ers dropped passes the past 5 seasons (as a team):

• 2019: 28
• 2020: 34
• 2021: 26
• 2022: 37
• 2023: 9

The 49ers also had the fewest dropped passes in the league last season. Brock Purdy sure does throw a catchable ball

Throws an extremely catchable ball

9 is a ridiculously low number over 17 games.

There are some road games where we could definitely find out if he's improved in bad weather, such as Green Bay in late November, and at Buffalo in early December.

Tbh, I hate bad weather games in general. Lol now I hate them even more cause Brock has struggled in them. Lol

but that's football and he needs to figure that out cause it'll happen again and the game will be important.

I mean he's not the "same height" as those guys. He's short as far as QB goes. He's got a thick lower half though.

He's the same height/weight as Mayfield. I was saying I didn't realize how small Williams given how the media views him as generational.

Brock has Trex arms lol. Makes him look extra compact.
