QB Brock Purdy Thread

Brock really is navigating the pocket like a 10 year classic drop back QB who's had to rely on high level processing to excel.

....and then he's got the short area quickness to escape pressure off that and make off schedule plays.

We've found something special.

TBF, he couldn't be in any better position either but you still have to do it.

Exactly - it's a give and take. We are benefiting from his ridiculous play and he's benefiting from our play calling and playmakers.

If I had to come up with a knock on him, I'd say that if he doesn't get his feet set right - he can make errant throws because he doesn't have a strong enough arm to gun it from every angle.

That's fair. He talked about how important that base is....something he learned from baseball and being a pitcher.

Right, what gives me comfort is that he doesn't seem to be thinking about his mechanics as he is playing - which is what you want, it to be second nature.

the interception to kittle last game - he had the time and space to get his feet right and gun it, I just don't think he saw the defender and made a bad read.

i anticipate we will see that play soon but with Aiyuk. 😈

he didn't see him but he should have made the throw sooner, same with his other throws and his jogging bootlegs... after his two TDs he
s seem to be a little too chill. to me it comes off as cocky than a weakness.

It's good to get punched in the mouth every once in a while, I'd rather it happen now than in the playoffs.

i loved his composure at the end though! He seems to have ice in his veins! Seems very clutch

his coolness makes me relaxed... seeing jimmy vibrate out there had me losing it

Campaigns but that is obviously due to players being more prepared for the league ever before.

I was really talking about football IQ. The way he seems the game and also understands all the rules. His poise as well.
Someone like mayfield, I never got the impression of "he looks like a vet".

everyone we mentioned above, still looked like rookies to me (even though they played very good), besides Big Ben, luck, and Purdy.

Big Ben wasn't nearly as good his first year as he would become but I watched just about every Steelers game that year because of my friends - he was so clutch and reliable during that 13-0 start. He finally lost in the AFCC

idk how I forgot about burrow! He's like my favorite non 49er! His senior year in college was the greatest I've ever seen.

Those mechanics look tight.

I mean it's hard to judge football IQ over 5 games. He looks like he gets it and that awesome. Let's see how it goes though. If I'm gonna go sky high best case comp it's Burrow.

Just because he made a mistake on that play doesn't mean he's cocky. For a rookie making that mistake but didn't let those mistakes rattle him, rather, he moved on quick, maintained his poise and composure and still led his team to win the game. After the game he admitted to his mistakes, he owned them and pledged he will learned from them.
