"Purdy enters the season among the top group of prospective first-rounders at the position and may even draw some [Drew] Brees comparisons," writes 247Sports' Charles Power in pegging Purdy to the New Orleans Saints. "He doesn't play with the type of supporting cast that Lawrence or Fields enjoy, but Purdy has still managed to be one of college football's best quarterbacks through his first two seasons in Ames. It was Purdy, not Trevor Lawrence, who set the NCAA record for highest passer efficiency by a true freshman in 2018. He may not have the pure physical tools of Lawrence, Fields or Lance, but is an accurate, quick processor and excels when facing pressure."

"Obviously he's young, but what he's done so far has been impressive. He doesn't have the biggest arm, but he's functional and really accurate as a passer, too," ESPN NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay said in September. "I think he's poised. You can see it. You can tell he's intelligent in processing things quickly. There are times where he gets a little impatient and takes off to run because he trusts that, but that's really common with a lot of young quarterbacks. You can see it. Then talking to the coaches, they brought us up to speed about who he is as a person and how smart he is, and how much he believes in himself and his ability to make plays."

How the hell did he go from a first round prospect to the last pick of the draft? Just shows you how flawed the "system " is.
That was sophomore year. Some people declare early if they're top prospects. Some stay and they fall in the draft the following seasons and some rise up.

Where's Kap

Where he belongs.

If anyone missed it - I looked it up. kap had 5 passing touchdowns in his first 5 games. 4 of them against the patriots. He also had 3 rushing

Kap wasn't on that list for political reasons then. Or else just the dumbass making the chart wasn't a 49ers fan in 2012.
Yeah, I usually don't like to go that route but that was my thought. Between his legal preceding and all that happened with the nfl - I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't show it for a reason.

Wish my 27th account wasn't banned from Twitter. I'd love to tell that guy what an eejit he is.

Why must he be listed?

Apparently you started being a 49er fan in 2019. The reason is because he had more than 5 TDs in his first 5 starts as a 49ers QB.

And? What makes him notable?

READ THE TWEET. It says "TDs in first five starts." Kaepernick had SEVEN passing TDs in his first five starts which CLEARLY AND OBVIOUSLY means he belongs on the list. There is not a desk strong enough to withstand the level of headdeasking this discussion calls for.

Pretty sure that says "TD passes in first 5 starts"

I would say Kaepernick is as notable as Jimmy G.

Both got the team to a Super Bowl and lost it.

In a 4 wide graphic CK lost out to Jimmy G due to the similar offense and coach with Purdy.

What would you do with a 4 wide graphic dump Montana or Young?

There really is no reason to expand the graphic to 5 wide.... it adds nothing to the discussion, CK is not a 49er great, hell they probably simply forgot he existed like most of the NFL.

It would be like me throwing out that Steve Bono thew 10 TDs in his first 5 starts for the 49ers. Is it accurate? Yes! Does it matter or effect the conversation? No!

Steve Bono seems even more relevant to include since he was a third stringer. The list of third string 49er QBs to throw at least 10 TDs in their first 5 starts and what that foretold about their career.
Bcb just balled out in his 1st playoff game, and this thread has really been hijacked by kap and jimmy bs?!?! Pathetic

Enough of this sidetrack. Make it about Purdy or move on.

Thank you.

They got to see another year many considered a regression.

You never known with draft picks.... gotta remind ourselves, draft picks only exist for one reason...to take a gamble with. They hold no final value then to make a guess with.

I know in my case, Purdy has me guessing the assumptions I have made about what makes a good QB. I know I like to see something on the field before I say this guy can do this that or the other.

Purdy is a fine reminder what happens when you take a guy that can do stuff with little to no talent around him and then drop him onto a team with talent. Far to often I have looked at guys in college that had the better linemen, the better weapons week in and week out and thought that QB can play.

Hopefully 12-15 years from now we are all having this conversation again, and when that time comes... I hope the 49ers spend some high picks on the line, and some high picks on targets before they go after the next QB. I would rather have a top 10 tackle and good weapons then a top 10 QB. I am totally coming around to finding that functional QB that got stuck on a lesser team and give him the best talent he has ever played with, then to take a top QB and give him worse protection and worse talent to work with then he had at the College level.

Gotta remember these are people. Draft values go up and down, but so do their personal lives and what they're dealing with.

It's an inexact science and that's exactly why it draws so much attention. So it's a plus,....nothing to complain about at all, entertainment-wise.

Also, people fall in love with physical stuff during the draft. That was part of it.

he also had some rough plays cause he was trying to do too much at times. That's what happens when you don't have much talent around you.
I gotta say... Although Purdy has the benefit of Shanahan and a loaded surrounding cast, watching how Skyler Thompson, Tyler Huntley, and First Half Trevor Lawrence performed this weekend in the wildcard... that Purdy performed the way he did in our game was very special. The only major hiccups I think he really showed was just being a little inaccurate on his first couple throws, and getting a little impatient and bailing out of the pocket early toward the end of the half.

If he continues to work hard and continue developing, he has a chance to be a special QB in this league.

The superstar potential he showed on that play where Aiyuk dropped it… 😍😍😍

It's more than he has Kyle, Kyle also has him. I dare anyone to lie and say this offense is not totally different then it were with Jimmy. Kyle is gaining confidence he has a guy where he can finally move from Jimmy Dinks and Dunks. It is so obvious Kyle is calling a more aggressive game and maybe after a bunch of years he can be the play caller he's wanted to be.

And when the play doesn't work he doesn't stick his turtle head into his shell like in the past. He has confidence in Brock to go right back there again.

Remember all the times we were told it was dink and dunk by design? No one even mentions that stuff anymore.
