Until the 49ers get some guys that can beat man defense and Shanahan learns how to use them, nothing will change. The man is that good.

I just watched Wilson just toss a ball quickly up for grabs in end zone which Pickett caught for a td. Purdy doesn't do that.

Kittle TD against Pats was a "let your guy go up and get it" pass.

Sorry I misspoke - he rarely if ever does that. Needs to do it more

I don't think Kyle wants him doing that too much. I would only trust Kittle and Jennings for those passes anyway.

They're still trying to run the red zone offense the way they did with CMC, but without CMC a lot of those plays don't work because defenses don't care about Mason beating them. CMC allowed the WRs to be secondary concerns in the redzone.

People are correct in saying ayuik can win man coverage but he usually doesn't do it off the line.

You need a wr or two who can break a dudes ankles off the line and get open in a step or two on a quick slant...

We have yet to see that done. Cowing or pearsall may be capable but need more time to tell.

Part of the problem is the scheme and play calling is already tailored to scheme these long developing routes open. There's hardly any quick man beating plays...

Dude he's under thrown the ball plenty of times. You can make a list of pros and cons of QBs. His arm strength overall is not a positive. It's just the truth of it.

Like others said, he does plenty of other things well.

today was a bad day for the team as a whole, including our QB.

Unless Brock rapes some women it cannot be worse than Watson's.

He's also been a really good QB for 30+ games. Hating over one or two games is pathetic reflection of our "faithful" fans.

What's the alternative? Get lucky in the draft again or pay another QB 60 million? Top elite QBs don't leave their current team. It's a Kirk cousins level qb at best.

I'm not saying he has a big rifle arm but y'all are acting like he's noodle armed Alex smith which just isn't true. His arm is average and good enough to make all the throws you need to make. His arm strength is Brady tier (don't come at me not saying he's Brady just comparing the arm strength)

Agree with this.

BA can and does beat man coverage. KC traded their best man cover DB. McDuffe is damn good, but acting like every single guy they have in coverage is elite at that is simply not true.

Spags is a stud no doubt, their talent on defense isn't special.

Brock has to be better. Mahomes was not good today BUT again when they needed to have it he com though in the clutch. Brock threw multiple INTs when SF needed him to show up.

Alex Smith had a better arm than Purdy, though it wasn't elite. Alex Smith was a checkdown artist because he was risk adverse to a fault. Tom Brady had considerably better arm strength than Purdy, though also not elite.

His arm strength isn't average. It's one of the weaker starting arms in the league. He has generally very good processing and decision making and has been able to overcome that limitation.
