It has been a long time since we had a guy that can just throw the ball on the goal line

This is my favorite thing about Brock. First and goal at the 7 and I'm super confident he can THROW for the td everyone if we need it and give him the opportunity.

With Jimmy you knew it was run run likely incomplete fg

Yes when the field condenses, his strengths are then highlighted. We really just have too much weaponry right now for most teams to match up with Deebo and Mitchell now back.

It's been so long I honestly forgot what it was like.

I wanted to say something like We haven't been able to score by throwing in the redzone like this since..... and my mind drew a blank.....

Could not be since Steve Young....

Maybe Garcia?

Since Garcia?

Probably since Garcia.

It is crazy....

If we win in the playoffs, and if we make it back to the Super Bowl, and if we face the chiefs again... I would think we have an easier time in the redzone this time around.

Even Garcia didn't have this type of composure and efficiency though. So yes I'd say since Young. Feels strange to even type that lol.

And this is why having a qb who can make tight window throws is so important. It's great to see up and down the field, but it's CRITICAL for the redzone. Aka where you win and lose games.

Yes....the defense getting the ball back over and over counts for alot in that TD% so it's really no big deal. Not some magical stat or anything.

always downplaying Purdy's success by attributing it to others. it's f**king comical at this point.

What's most interesting is every other facet of the game helps the QB (particular ones anyway), but never the other way around.

I couldn't even imagine the type of numbers that offense with Young would put up in today's NFL.

only to choke it away in the playoffs to GB

This.

And to Dallas.

And that's why I'm not crowning Brock for the future with sh** til he shows he can do this for four more games and win us #6.

i think the kid has loads of talent. this isnt some plug-and-play situation youre trying hard to sell. he continues this play in the playoffs, he becomes the future of the Niners.

Since you needed to mix what I think into what you think,...I'll get to that later.

But I dont think he does have loads of talent. I do think his experience + this roster + Shanahan have been a perfect marriage.

I think he's much better than our previous QB,....a player that I also tried to sell you was being drastically overrated.

Now that we clearly have a much better QB, even as a rookie, showing that he's clearly better with the same pieces, you want to pretend like all of that foolishery from you never happened, right?

Purdy has clearly demonstrated that you chasing me around about how I'm wrong about the level to which we overrate Jimmy G (kinda like how you're chasing me around now), you were wrong for. You obviously owe me an apology, given the level this kid has played at with the same tools @ his disposal.

Let's see if that ever happens, though, right?

I genuinely think Purdy has a lot of special traits that we don't know how to measure yet. The way he plays is just.. contagious.
he has the huge benefit of being a rookie and being on a team where he doesn't have to do anything but be a QB. Not the face of the franchise, not the reason we win, not the reason for XYZ! He can go out there and just think about football and how to be the best offense we can be.
that is wayyyyy more impactful than people realize.

My favorite is...look at all his weapons! The same weapons all our QB's had. I'm now a believer. He's not a one hit wonder.

It's unfair to get a QB this good this late. To the rest of the league. He's so poised. Excellent at his reads and progressions. He throws an accurate ball. Athletic enough to get you something on scrambles and buy time outside the pocket. He's just outstanding. We are so lucky to have him.

Maybe the front office got lucky on the pick, but they get credit no matter what

completely saved the season after Jimmy went down

Yeah I agree. He's outstanding. His mental understanding of the game is like a 10 year veteran. It's amazing.

i legit stopped reading at the bolded. the rest of your argument means absolutely nothing after that.

lol change your name to ridiculous49er because your posts are f**king ridiculous.

Brock is da real deal.

pew pew pew!!!

Purdy does these things IMPRESSIVELY well so far:
- reads a defense and knows that if he doesn't fully understand what's going on, he checks down.
- willing to make the tough throws to beat a defense through the small windows!
- very calm and rational in tight situations.
- able to read efficiently and effectively pre snap, which benefits him post snap.
- individual leader off the field that other men respect
- maybe not the most physically talented guy we've seen but he is definitely more than capable to accomplish what any qb needs to.

Like others have posted... I kinda forgot what it feels like to have a fighting chance at passing TDs.

Now all of a sudden when Brock takes a sack making a safe play to make sure the team gets 3, you know he can get the TD next time... it is just a different feeling.

I mean when you add CMac to an offense that was already loaded,...it's shown to be a game changer.

I'd hate to have to gameplan to stop this offense. And the best defense in the league makes the weekly gameplanning that much easier for Kyle.

Doesn't mean the kid's not playing phenomenal for a rook. You still need to be cool, calm, collect, and prepared week after week on the highest platform.

What are you so upset about? You should be happy.

Happy or Sad doesn't matter. Just saying it's not some magical stat because where you're getting the ball and what you're asked to do plays heavily into it.

Cause no rookie QB in NFL history has had a good to great supporting defense.....
