We have seen some balls die on him these last few games and we haven't really seen him attempt many difficult throws that would require him to throw with higher velocity.

As to the former, that's simply untrue.

As to the latter: Proof? Cite? Video? TIA.

He's probably talking about the long TD to Aiyuk against TB where there was pressure in Brocks face and he took a hit as he was throwing it, and Aiyuk had to wait for the ball. So something that would happen to any other qb in the same situation.

That's actually not one of the throws I was talking about. They were against Seattle and Washington in the first half.

The deep ball isn't the problem with having a weak arm. It's the velocity when driving the ball into tight windows. Nick Mullens once threw the ball 60 yards.

...here we go.

I've not seen BCB have a velocity issue. Perhaps others have.

This part had me 🤣

Does Brock get Disability pay for that?

Oh, so you are going to judge his arm strength based on games he played in with a partial tear of his oblique? Do you understand throwing mechanics at all?

So his first real NFL action was versus his childhood team (MIA), then his first start was against the GOAT. I think the proper way to end this season is a SB win versus CIN (Burrow #1 versus Brock #262).

I like that matchup. I would rather face CIN than BUF or KC.

Jimmy G played backyard football in 2017 and looked good.

He looked bad in 2018 before the injury. Maybe that has to do with him not trying to play under Kyle's system but hasn't masted it yet.

I always felt like 2017 showed Jimmie's natural talents. For whatever reason, he became bogged down it seemed once he really got until the system (like he is thinking too much). It may just be he's never the same after his knee injury, very passively. Alex smiths arm was never the same after his shoulder injury

Agreed. Cincinnati is damn good though this year. Might be the best team of the 3.

We really missed an opportunity last year falling short in the title game.

The main thing you have to worry about with KC is Mahomes and the offense. As long as our defense can keep them under 30(very possible if we are full strength), I think our offense can get over 30 on that defense.

I would think so too, but I also thought the same in 19. I ended up betting a large sum of money on the 49ers scoring more than 26.5 points... if you would have told me before the game that we scored 20, I would have known they lost.

We're better now definitely, but I still don't think we're at the point of chalking up 30 against mid to bad defenses just yet.

youre ignoring Brock played thru an injury the past two games. an injury that was severe enough that he even surprised our coaching staff playing vs SEA. i asked you before and you ignored the question, have you ever tried to throw a ball with an oblique injury or a rib injury?

I really enjoy watching this kid play.

One of the only things left (for me) is to see how he plays down by 6 on his own 15 with 2 minutes left in the game and maybe 1-2 timeouts. Or no timeouts. Against a decent defense.

I think we have something in him, but he hasn't played from behind much at all. I wanna see how he handles that. I personally believe he'll do well.

Nope. We cannot put up 30 against mid to bad defenses just yet but we can put up 30+ against top 5 pass defenses (TB, WAS).

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.

Do we need to dig through Police Reports?

I thought CC was a women for a little while

I was talking about the ability to count on it consistently.

Also a key difference between putting up 30 against TB, or Washington, versus teams like KC, Buf, and Cin, is all the assists those teams bad offenses will provide in terms of turnovers and field position. Look at Washington last week. Turnovers, bad decisions on 4th down... much harder to put up 30 on a team with an offense that holds the ball and successfully moves and scores. *We had 7 points at the half when Washington dominated time of possession. The floodgates opened in the 2nd half when their bad offense melted down. Can't count on that from great offensive teams*
