QB Brock Purdy Thread

I still wanna see the very first play again. I was at the game so I only got to see it live but I'm pretty sure Aiyuk had a walk in TD along the side lines. Like 10 yards open.

He had Deebo WIDE OPEN would have went for a f**k ton of yards as well.

On those deeper passes because his arm strength isn't amazing he's gotta let it go sooner. Felt like there was a couple plays where he had to let it rip sooner

good thing the coaches and players think very differently than fans. Purdy wins the SB and he's unquestionably QB1.

If he wins one more playoff game, he is unquestionably QB1

The best thing for BOTH QBs is to have a battle for QB1.. even if you know who your starting QB already is

The only reason people are hesitant about Purdy is because of where he was drafted. Had he been selected in the first round, especially top 10, he'd be regarded as the next great QB. Same reason that anyone is saying Trey should have a chance to compete for the starting job. Flop their draft slot and no one would even be mentioning Trey.

That's correct on both.

Football Gods was on our side for sure. I believe just a week ago Diggs picked off a pass exactly like this one. I'm sure we will clean this one up in the film room this week because to get #6 we can't have these throws in these next few weeks. https://t.co/dSc0FGlt5A

Not sure if intended, but that pass dropped low really helped not giving Diggs a chance at the ball. I like to think so from Brock to protect his receiver.

Exactly. But Trey wasn't even bad when he got hurt, that monsoon game is an anomaly. Purdy is better tho, dude is special and it's very obvious

He did throw at least 3 maybe even 4 interceptable passes, but almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Funny thing is page after page, I don't see anyone being hesitant about Purdy. I think people are hesitant about claims with little basis made here in the thread,...not the player himself. Just as with our other 2 QBs.

Rejecting crazy claims that are unsupported doesn't translate to you liking or not liking a player. This is a discussion board, after all.

The reality is he's way outdone his draft position, regardless of what happens in the future. Excellent pick.

Pushing it downfield this is the throw NY has been asking for for years. Wait you are NY

Well why was he drafted last? Because he doesn't have elite arm talent, size and there wasn't improving while in college.

Trey does have elite arm talent and size. It has to do with who COULD be better long-term, not who's best right now.

purdy has shown that he can play and having 1,500 passing attempts before stepping on the field has been beneficial. Who's got the highest upside? I mean objectively it's Lance. Doesn't mean he will never get there.

brock is doing his thing so let's just chill on what needs to be done next yr.

No, actually it's not. When are you going to learn what that word means? Yours is, in fact, a completely subjective opinion which fails to recognize all of the variables that might determine how someone else might view what a player's ceiling is and whose is comparatively higher. Just because Lance might be physically stronger and have a bigger arm doesn't mean he will play the position as well as Purdy. Lance's story isn't written yet. He may in fact turn out to be great but, at the moment, he is definitely playing from behind the sticks in terms of next year.

Purdy is better in the mental game right now, seeing and reading the field due to the experience in college, and now playing NFL games add the poise there too. But if Trey gets to that point that's 2 possible franchise qbs but 1 has all the physical traits you look for. Either way this team is in a great spot at qb

good thing the coaches and players think very differently than fans. Purdy wins the SB and he's unquestionably QB1.

Sounds more like fan speak then coaching speak.

Maybe Shanahan's been posting under his a count all along? Who would've thunk it?

lol it's always the same group pushing the same . Purdy wins the SB he will have the players and coaches trust even more so than he does now. that's the truth of the matter. Lance will make a fine back up.

Nothing about any groups. Just outlandish statements unnecessarily made.

If we're talking about "groups",.....I was in the group pushing that we desperately needed an upgrade @ the QB position with our last guy, and you vehemently disagreed.

We now have that upgrade. So out at sea, I climbed aboard this raft before you ever recognized it. I was here first! Like a previous poster said,...context helps.

Fast forward to now and what we're seeing is the same "groups" as you call it saying stuff that's still offbase and unnecessary.

The HC decides all of these things and certainly no one on this forum can definitively make any IF/THEN statements about something that's HIS choice.

yes i agree you are proverbially lost at sea. thanks for confirming that.

No. You've climbed aboard 3 years later and you're instantly calling shots about the direction we SHOULD go in and what WILL happen. "Guaranteed, Future Facts, Don't Debate Me," etc. All of the stuff we've gotten used to.

But we arrive @ the same place we began: Until you give us more insight on or secret intel on your closeness with Shanahan, you can't make any IF/THEN statements about what he will choose. You just.....can't? I'm sorry.

im just conveying how the NFL works. Purdy has already gained the trust of the coaching staff and players. if they win the Super Bowl together, that trust and camaraderie will even be stronger. there will be no need to continue to search for a starting QB. the team will have found one. that's the way the NFL works.

i have no idea what your three years later comments are about. are you somehow invoking Jimmy again but silently? if so, the weak arguments from you continue.

Purdy is the franchise QB of the future. He's just got it. All the things you really need at QB. That 6'4" 225 lbs and fast 40 time is always over rated. That's not what's important at QB. QB is a head game. Reading the defense, understanding the offensive concepts, going through reads and progressions, making the right decision, getting the ball out quick, throwing an accurate ball, creating off schedule and making plays. A quite calm confidence way beyond his years. He just has it all.

You and Ring are very "hesitant." 49att jumps in as well. The constant "criticisms" despite amazing performances, wouldn't be happening if it was Trey - because of where he was drafted. Had Purdy been the #3 overall pick, it would be the same thing.

I was also not just referring to this forum, I'm talking about sports media and social media as well.
