QB Brock Purdy Thread

All of this. You had a veteran QB like Matt Ryan that struggled to get comfortable in the offense in his first year. Purdy has been able to run it effectively as a rookie while coming out of a college spread offense.

Baldinger notes that head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense is not easy to learn, which says a lot about Purdy's ability to absorb its complexities. Not everyone can pick it up as fast as Purdy, a first-year player, has.

"He's been doing it since day one," Baldinger continued. "... We haven't seen them burn any timeouts. We haven't seen them not get lined up correctly. I could point out a couple of protection breakdowns. Sometimes that's his fault. Sometimes it's the line's fault. But they've been few and far between. He usually gets out of harm's way.

Lol exactly.

Its going to be hilarious here when the 49ers resign him.

@Phoenix I swear I remember it being YOU on that draft day that first started floating the idea in here that Mcglinchey could be the pick. The rest of us was talking Minkah and Derwin James etc.. but Mcglinchey was you and you spoke it in here to existence so why are you the way that you are?

It's never easy playing quarterback in the NFL, but Purdy might as well have the softest landing pad to work with. The 49ers are so good that Purdy's evident limitations (happy feet and poor mechanics, hello!) in the pocket probably won't come back to bite them against the Seahawks.

and was like … really? That's NOT what I see at all. Someone tell me this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. (full article here)

Thanks.

To be more specific, his comment about the "happy feet and poor mechanics" had me doing the Jordan laugh.

I don't think it can be discounted how good of a situation Purdy has been put into with guys like CMC, Deebo (though he's mostly been absent during Purdy's tenure), Kittle, Aiyuk, Kyle's offense etc. He's been helped tremendously by that as any QB would be. That said, I'm not sure what the dude is talking about in terms of Purdy's mechanics or happy feet. They seem at worst fine, and actually seem pretty good. He has a very natural throwing motion and seems comfortable throwing from different arm angles. He does have a tendency to break the pocket too soon, but he is a rookie, so not that surprising.

No he doesn't.

You're right. He's perfect.

Not perfect. He just doesn't have a tendency to break the pocket too soon. Like, at all.

Independent of the result of this play (which was a great throw to Kittle) do you think it was necessary for him to abandon the pocket on this play?

No, IIRC, Kyle said he wanted him to exhaust the play side first. But #69. So I get it. LOL

His primary read on the right side was covered and he knew Crosby was going against Mike "swinging gate" McGlinchey, so he bought himself extra time by spinning out to his left. He didn't "abandon" the pocket, he simply moved and reset his base to his left. And threw a touchdown pass. On an absolutely beautiful throw to Kittle.

THIS is your example of "a tendency" to break the pocket to soon? Try again. Maybe get with Random and come up with some pictures with arrows on them.

not until BP left the pocket is when he started to get pressure

Wow, someone get this man a job. I worked in a production studio while I was in college, and that's some damn impressive camera work.

How are you this hostile over the most innocuous of discussions?

What do think breaking the pocket means if running 5 yards back and leaving the pocket doesn't count? Also, regardless of who is at RT, the play was blocked pretty well, and it shouldn't be encouraged or excused for a QB to anticipate pressure that isn't there.

He saved the play with a great throw that he made unnecessarily more difficult than it had to be. A play can have both good and bad elements to it.

Yup.

he did leave early,, but 69's history was part of the reason.. But i still think he wasn't going to go JJ's ways no matter what

This kid is absolutely ridiculous. Learning the offense in one off season is nuts. Being able to audible and run 2 and 4-minute AND RZ is just insane. What more does he have to do? Run a hurry up?

How are you this sensitive over my response? I simply don't agree with you that a QB moving to his left to create space and time for himself, on a throw that ends up being a touchdown pass, is a good example of "a tendency to break the pocket too soon." Surely you have some better examples.

Bottom line is Mahomes, Allen, Burrow do this stuff all the time and end up on Sportscenter Top 10 plays. And you and other Jimmy denigrators said that we should be doing anything possible to get such a QB. Now we finally have one, and you want him to play like a statue in the pocket ala Brady or Roethlisberger (or Jimmy lol)?

Just seems like any excuse to say something negative.

playoff purdy debut

Which debut was better Alex vs Saints or CK vs Pack?

They're called "stills."

Is it day 3, btw?

so Glock Purdy has happy feet and poor mechanics? Lol...... this is just plain stooopid and highly ignorant

He has a classic delivery with sound mechanics, and when the pocket is quiet he is disciplined with his drop steps and hitches... he is a natural
