Late 80's here and I got to see the 94' team with Steve Young in person and yes, I am enjoying this season. Yep! Enjoy the ride!!!!

I agree Seattle doesnt have much of a shot but its not because Geno is "absolutely horendous." Geno had a fantastic year, even if you arent comparing it to his expectations.

Good year, not fantastic.

a winning season when they should have been a 4 win team.. is fantastic

He broke a franchise record for passing yards, with a 3 to 1 TD-INT ratio and had over 100 passer rating. Thats not fantastic?

agreed! been a fan since the Steve Deberg days, saw Joe Montana at training camp his rookie year at University of Santa Clara.... not sure there is so many pissing contests going on in this thread and why some just can't enjoy our success right now

Went to my first game in 86. I was young, but was groomed as a Niner fan since birth.

100% this. I think what we can ALL agree on is that Jimmy (because of his age and contract demands) is out of this equation. We will be left with the cheapest and one of the best overall QB rooms in the league next season, which will allow us to afford to extend all of our stars. Purdy's emergence is a HUGE development for this team.

Personally, I will eat a good helping of crow because I did not feel that Jimmy was holding the offense back. He clearly was. Now, I think a lot of that has to do with his personality rather than his talent, but the results are clear. Purdy Kyle >>>> Jimmy Kyle. For whatever reason, Jimmy Kyle just couldn't quite get over the hump, and I don't just mean the Super Bowl. They just didn't have that "magic" that it takes for sustained success. Purdy Kyle has that magic quality to them.

Oh I've eaten plenty of crow over the years in here lol. Debating is fine, but owning up after the fact should be part of the deal imo.

I just don't see why it's either Brock is great and Lance blows or the other way around. I gave Jimmy 4 yrs before coming to the conclusion that we needed to look elsewhere. People are giving Lance 3 games and Brock 6 games to come to conclusions on who they are and that's foolish. I'm just happy that we got some young blood in here that can grow/develop…we will see how it all shakes out later.

Jimmy made sense as Kyle's choice and so did upgrading the position.
Lance made sense as a high upside draft pick. I don't think he was a reach.
Purdy made sense to snag in the draft so as not to lose him in the UDFA market and the team hit the jackpot like some great teams have before late in the draft.

Purdy > Jimmy, he brings more to the table physically and processes better. Jimmy would make a great postseason backup this year.
Lance showed some really good flashes, I was excited to see him as the starter this year. He'll push Purdy and compete for the starting job and will give the team at minimum a great backup and a potential upgrade as a starter. I'd like to see him with similar play calling to what we are seeing for Purdy, it seems like a fit for him and less injury risk.

Jimmy will move on after the season and the 49ers will be left with two young and dynamic QBs on the cheap. Trading either Lance or Purdy at this point would be silly.

I was a fan before Joe and those were some tough times. But what a pleasure to see Montana start and grow as our QB. That first year was painful, but there was something there, you could feel it. This kid Purdy has that fire in his belly. His growing pains may not be a difficult as '79, but there will be mistakes and a learning curve. In all my years of watching football I've never seen a perfect game although a couple of Joe's Superbowls came close. It's great to watch the games again and know we always have a chance to win.

Seems reasonable.

Now you are just splitting hairs, mayo. Bottom line, Geno had a great season.

Blah blah blah. Brock works with Kyle. SB incoming

All-22 view of the infamous play where Purdy "bailed from the pocket too soon." Aiyuk and Jennings are the primary read on the right, but they have 3 guys covering them in a bracket. Kittle is one on one with a LB. Purdy knows that Kittle is going to work his way across the back of the end zone, so Purdy moves left to make an easier throw.

Jennings is wide open and was supposed to be option 1, Kyle didn't like the bailout in postgame interviews

Jennings is not wide open. The CB does not follow Aiyuk, he sits in the flat. He could absolutely make that play on Jennings. Purdy sees the CB squat and also sees the LB inside and the safety over the top of Aiyuk. Could he have held on a little longer? Perhaps. But #69 gonna #69.

just relaying what Kyle thought and expected.. If Purdy stepped up, JJ was wide open. but he bailed and also made up for it.

Again, JJ was not wide open. The CB squatted in the flat which is where JJ was going. Do you understand what it means for a CB to squat in the flat? Plus add the LB to the inside. Plus add Crosby dominating McG as he was doing all game. That pass would have been infinitely more difficult than the throw to Kittle.

But proceed to continue criticizing Purdy on a play that ended up being amazing. I swear you, Ring, and random would probably have gotten mad at Montana for throwing it to Dwight Clark instead of Freddie Solomon in the '81 NFCCG against Dallas lol.

lol Do i understand..,you saying that Kyle doesn't know or understand ? does Kyle need to be on a podcast ?

the film is there and matches to what Kyle wanted.. stop being so sensitive.. unless you think Kyle is a Purdy hater lol

Did Kyle say JJ was wide open? No. Does he want Purdy to stay within the play structure and make plays from within that play structure? Of course. It's his offense, he designed it. His ego WANTS to get credit for it. Purdy told him to sit down and relax, he got this. This is the give and take between play caller and QB that we've been missing. You, random, and Ring should be ecstatic about finally having a QB willing to do this, but instead you're holding onto to the notion that the QB should be a robot.

Although something tells me if it was Trey doing this, you'd be okay with it.

Yes he did and Lynch also confirmed it.. you even posted the YT vid .. i bet you think Kyle and lynch are haters now lol

I'm fine with Purdy.. i can also handle people's takes on him..

He said "open route." I don't disagree, he COULD have thrown it there. It wasn't "wide open" as you've been claiming, nor did Lynch say that.

Freddie Solomon was open in the '81 NFCCG, did Montana make "the wrong play" by throwing to Clark?

As someone has already mentioned, a few of you just want to be negative no matter what happens.

theres nothing negative about it, we have film, GM and HC confirming this.. it's just one football play being discussed on a football forum

all you have is your feelings, Kyle's ego i guess and freddie Soloman..

dude it's ok, you will live

You sure talk about feelings a lot. More appropriate forums for that. Keep it to football, even if you're not very good at it.

would like to talk football but all you do is talk about posters..

Oh is this you baiting me? Lol. "Feelings."

there should be apologies along with that feast of crow

as for conclusions.. maybe ring is the only one trying to draw conclusions.. but there shouldn't be overreactions and denial over one play.. it's just one play lol

I'm not coming to conclusions, that implies some sort of finality or lasting judgement. The one play was chosen because it as an easily accessible one that showed an example of something that was brought up in his scouting report. It's not a condemnation of him and its entirely possible that it'll go away as he gets more experience and coaching. It shouldn't result in that much arguing to bring up something that was in his scouting report if its showed up in games. It's not like a lot of the things brought up about him in the draft process were wrong on their own, it's just the conclusion on what everything added up to, or what he could improve on, that was wrong.

He's Purdy Good
