Not exactly a high bar to set for Brock.

He might make me go update my 7 year old thread.

Johnny Unitas was taken in the 9th round. Roger Staubach 10th round. Bart Starr 17th round.

Interesting, I knew his dad played but wasn't sure if he did. Explains some of his arm angled we've been seeing. This guy is just the gift that keeps on giving 😭😭

Yeah, I figured if there were people late - it's from way back in day when they had like 30 rounds or whatever it was. Lol I think it's fair to only compare to the 7 round draft era.

I think we can all agree this man was the better 13. A QB truly ahead of his time.

It's kind of funny though.. If you think about it. His worst start so far is one where, although he missed several guys and threw a pick, he still made some huge precision throws, scrambled out of pressure numerous times (he was pressured a lot), brought the team back from behind, drove the team down with just a minute left for a game winning field goal attempt, and ultimately won in a shootout where we almost put up 40 points -- something we rarely did these past few years.

And he's a seventh round rookie? Dang.

Is this a guy you can figure out? It seems like so far, the best you can do is hope to get pressure, which affects any QB, or bat balls down. He just seems to deliver in every other facet so far.

Pocket elusiveness/mobility
Quick release
Cool under defensive pressure
Calm in key situations
Adequate arm
Strong football IQ
Trusts his reads
Generally makes good decisions
Goes for the big play when available
Natural leader
Physically and mentally tough
Doesn't snowball after a mistake
High character player & humble

I have been cautiously optimistic and I'm still trying to keep some sense of that, although it's getting harder and harder to ignore the fact that the kid is checking off virtually every box there is for a franchise quarterback.

Next steps would be to be big time in big time games -- the playoffs.

1) How much of it do you equate to the super-offense he has with CMac here and Kittle now healthy? Jimmy looked pretty darn good in this CMac-infused offense as well,...the best he ever has, and that's without a training camp. So this obviously is an open-ended question. And the more important question @ hand with a guy like Purdy is....

2) As teams get more used to his game, is he already relatively close to his peak? Or does he have alot more room for growth?

youre always trying to attribute Purdy's success to others. lol. while Jimmy did look good, Purdy has elevated the offense by about 10 pts per game against better defenses.

Stop concerning yourself about what I'm personally doing when the entire post was about the potential of a rookie with a handful of starts. 49ers.

The potential of a rookie to improve is clearly a legit question.

Explain why you feel Purdy wouldn't improve?

WTF??? How did you come up with such lunacy? I asked a question and never suggested he can't improve.

Some guy's ceilings are higher than others. But please don't make up quotes that were never said or even suggested.

"The potential of a rookie to improve is clearly a legit question."

Yea, thanks for highlighting a quote because you clearly couldnt answer. But you realize that Purdy's name is not "rookie", for starters?

I was referring to "a rookie" in general terms, as in all rookies, 100% of them, and the potential they have to improve.

How is this in any way suggesting a specific player wont improve? You pulled that out of thin air.

This is the Purdy thread, everyone thinks you were talking about Purdy when you said it was fair to question a rookie's potential to improve.

That makes zero sense. Just read.

Lol just read that Kyle was like "holy cow" after the Miami game regarding Dirty Purdy, like the rest of us!

Kyle may have finally found a guy who has the qualities and mentality he wants! Aggressive but not stupid

It's 11 man tackle football, EVERY stat is a "team stat." You and a few other like to dismiss QB wins because it goes against your narrative you're constantly pushing. You don't have to like the stat, but it exists, and is discussed A LOT by everyone in the football community. It's not going to go away.

HA yeah let's crap on a stat that is based around the passes a QB makes…but pump up the one stat that is more about the team than anything else. Lol don't talk to me about pushing a narratives with that take.

also what narrative is it that I'm pushing exactly? I like Brock, I would love for him to turn into a star.

how about you take your own advice and realize that there are stats that are directly related to the QB…they exist and are talked about in the community, just because YOU don't like the results doesn't mean they don't matter.

It's not always where you are selected. Sometimes they select wrong. Joe Montana in the 3rd round. Tom Brady in the 6th round.
