Just watched the whole game as I wasn't able to earlier. Not understanding this criticism of Purdy. The INT was a deflection. 2nd and 11 throw at the end was not good but it was a one man route which is also a bad play call.
Seattle played a ton of man and we have zero route runners other than Pearsall who barely played. Jennings is Purdy's only reliable WR. Deebo is fat AF and now merely a gadget player (average one at that). CMC is no where near at full strength and Kyle is already back to ignoring Mason.
Poor pass protection and predictable play calling resulting too many 3rd and longs. Yet we still had a chance to win because of steady QB play and Purdy converting on 3rd down with his arm and legs. No idea what game some of you were watching.
Can't wait for Deebo to be off of this roster. Get a good center and more route runners and we will be fine.
Maybe Deebo will just retire and get bigger and have the great pregnant man promotional boxing match with Jake Paul.
But yes I don't get the criticism of Purdy. Is he perfect? Of course not. The throw to CMC looked like it
was forced and probably shouldn't have been made. But yes it was tipped and it's also a bit of an exaggeration to say it was like one of Jimmy G's what was he looking at moments, seeing as how Jimmy G would somehow not even see a linebacker or someone right there to intercept it and it didn't have to worry about being tipped, it would just be picked cleanly.
But that's the game today. Dumbed down fans think every win is because of the quarterback and so is every loss. That sounds a little harsh and of course it doesn't apply to everyone here or elsewhere. But it's probably not that inaccurate either.
Look at how much the gap has narrowed between Patrick Mahomes and the rest of the QB field the past couple of years or so as he's had meh receivers to throw too. Yes he threw 3 touchdown passes today. He also threw 2 picks, including one that ended the game, basically, and has thrown 11 picks this year through10 games.
Purdy is the reason we have any hope whatsoever on offense. And that isn't to say he's been perfect. But with what he's faced this year, he's played his butt off.
