Wonderful anticipation. And he seems to have a general understanding of angles, how defenses react over time, how the offense moves when things aren't going to plan, an intuitive sense of when to bail and when to stick in there.

People keep bringing up his 4 years in college and all the reps he got as to why he has looked so good so far. There have been other QB's that have had 100's of snaps and 1,000's of reps coming out of college that haven't looked this good in their first 4 games in the NFL. Getting Purdy in the 7th round was an absolute steal. With the way he is playing, for all the reasons you have mentioned, he looks like a multi year vet. If we didn't know any better, we would think he was a top 10 pick.

Lawrence took all the snaps during his career at Clemson SHe was considered a can't miss generational player. He struggled hus entire first season. His problem was he was so good that he got picked 1st by a terrible team.

Purdy was actually lucky to get picked last by the Niners. If he had gone in the middle or late rounds to some bad team he would probably either still be on the bench or struggling as a starter. It helps to have good players around you.

No QB can succeed with a poor O line or no decent receivers. SF has been called a QB friendly offense because they have talent and Kyle is a good play caller. That's true but the QB still needs to play well within that system.

I think part of Lawrence struggles might be due to his physical talent, in that he relied on that to an extent in college, and in the NFL, it only gets you so far.

I do, too. Love his moxy. If he's pulling out the guns then good things are happening.

You're right, the experience alone really doesn't mean much. If it did, guys like Luke Falk and Sean Mannion would be excellent NFL starters.

I think there's something to the fact that Purdy was highly recruited out of high school, even being offered by Alabama, and went to a middling Power 5 school in Iowa State, where he helped them overachieve. I have no doubt he would have been drafted higher had he been in a situation where the offense had better weapons, and was more geared towards the passing game, rather than showcasing Breece Hall.

His natural gifts sometimes ended up turning into WTF plays at Iowa State when he would try to do too much to bring his team back (I'm sure many of us have seen the turnover lowlight reel) and I feel like now that he's in a great situation he's settled in and just playing his game. All the credit in the world to Griese and Klay Kubiak for seeing the potential fit and pushing to draft him. I agree with the one youtuber whose vid was posted a few pages back: he reminds me of young Tony Romo (in a good way) and my only question now is to see how he handles playing from behind.

As far as Lawrence, while he didn't have a very good 2021 rookie season, we could still see flashes in his game that reminded us why he was drafted #1 overall.

I don't neccessarily disagree with you. Any and every QB needs solid coaching and talent around them to succeed.

While Shanahan's system may be considered QB friendly, we have also seen QB's fail in this system as recently as 2020 coming off of a SB run. We have dealt with injuries all the same this season so using that excuse for Beathard and Mullens in 2020 won't fly.

We could also look at a guy like Wilson in NY that has solid coaching and talent around him but is failing miserably all the same.

Kyle's system may be considered QB friendly, but only after the QB mastered Kyle's playbook. The old saying it it takes a veteran QB 2 years to mastered it. Matt Ryan struggled in his first season under Kyle and then was the MVP the following season.

I don't even know where Purdy is at right now. Did he managed to mastered Kyle's system as a rookie (which would be incredible), or was he so good that he is able to get it done without mastered it.

I'm not sure about the talent around Wilson. He doesn't have great receivers. I just think he was over rated out of college. He made some big plays but he doesn't seem to play within the structure of the offense. Some think he's done as a Jet.

Do the receivers make the QB or does the QB make the receivers? He has a 1k yard receiver and another one that is averaging over 16 yards per reception. He also has a decent O line and a top 5 defense.

He did grow up in Arizona which is the location of Tombstone. Maybe a call back to that.

Love CC, but he usually more present in here when SF is playing poorly.

CC made a thread in the PL about visiting SF for the SEA game in Sept. his last post was a few days before that game. no one has heard from him since. hope he's ok.

Great point.

I don't think he's come even close to mastering it yet.

So I imagine, like with Jimmy when he first got here, he's had a lot of input into what he feels comfortable with, adding those plays to the game script, given a lot of, if-then coaching, and they're probably practicing the scripted plays as much as possible.

I think this has been Kyle's best stretch of play calling all year too esp. with how he's setting up deep shots off defenders and their hyper-focus on CMC.
