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.
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.
He's way outdone his draft position, regardless of what happens in the future. Excellent pick.
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.

Dirty Purdy with the wheels! Finally have found an accurate qb from the pocket and has the ability to be mobile. It's a beautiful thing!!!
Yes! Not a surprise though, he has elite short distance burst for a QB.

I prefer to see an open QB competition during training camp to see who should be the starter. Nothing should be given even if Purdy helps us win the SB
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
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.

Yes! Not a surprise though, he has elite short distance burst for a QB.
Assuming he accelerates to that speed in 1.55s (his 10-yard split), 19.21 mph corresponds to 4.75s 40-yard time. FWIW.

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.

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.

49ers got lucky here. You typically can't get away with this going inside. This needs to be outside the numbers. Great concentration by Jennings pic.twitter.com/iWDV5HSUNU

Objectively or subjectively, I don't agree that we can say that "Trey has more upside." Why because he has a better arm? Is taller? Has a better 40 time? If we did a draft of all QB's under 25 years old, where would Purdy be drafted vs. Trey? As many have mentioned, playing QB is about so much more than physical traits.
