QB Brock Purdy Thread

It wasn't even close to being an INT either, that's what's wild.

Jimmy detractors - "we need a QB who will be aggressive and throw it deep."

Purdy throws multiple deep passes, completing a lot of them.

"No not like that! And hit the wide open crosser to Deebo, don't go deep just to go deep!"

The wonderful thing about Brock Purdy's situation is that he's on his rookie contract.

Wherever you stand, whether you think he's the next Great Franchise QB, A Really Good Guy for This Year and Next or just a back-up that's really lucky to have Shanahan/surrounding cast, at the end of the day... he's on his rookie contract for two more years after this... as is Trey Lance. Comparatively, to other teams, our total, combined cap hit for those two QB's will be, at a maximum, $12M, in 2024. Meanwhile, in 2024, other teams will have huge cap hits for their guys---Mahomes? $44M. Allen? $41M. Prescott? $52M. Stafford? $49M.

Even if you have the worst view of Purdy... that he's a product of Shanahan and his surrounding cast... With our low QB cap figure, you know what's awesome? Barring a complete collapse, Shanahan will continue to be here, and we can afford to keep that surrounding cast for a couple more years. For the next two years, if healthy, the worst-case scenario, we can still have Purdy + Shanahan + everyone else.

It's for beyond 2024 that we DO have to know if Purdy (or Lance) is a Franchise QB. Because at that point, you have to extend one of those guys to a deal that you figure is going to be at LEAST an AAV of $25M/year. At that point, whoever that is doesn't have the luxury of having superstars at every position. We have plenty of time to figure out our long-term QB situation.

So for now... just enjoy the ride and let the chips fall however they fall.

I love this read. it's what's been missing for the 49ers. folks saw Deebo running open and thought the ball should go there.

The safety will tell you what to do. Once he nails down on Deebo, Purdy fires it deep to Aiyuk, who stops running for w/e reason. That's a TD/DPI if not. pic.twitter.com/NFgw56H4gu

Deebo's open by 10 yards even with the safety coming. Aiyuk may have made the catch/DPI, but that's a massive gain and possibly touchdown to Deebo. It's a split second decision and Purdy was on fire, but in no way would throwing it to Deebo there be the wrong call.

If this isn't the time of year for relentless optimism I don't know what is

We got the team folks.. put #6 on the calendar

ANOTHER DAY CLOSER

Relentless optimism is more tasteful than relentless pessimism. But realism is even better.

So, to that end, we have a team with a realistic shot to win it all, what is there to be negative about with that?

Too much s**t in real life to be negative about, this team is one of our avenues for escapism.

What exactly did the safety nail down? Deebo was WIDE open.

Kyle's offensive scheme is a real problem here esp. for a young QB.

When you're constantly preaching, "Throw it to the open guy" and every f**king guy is open, what do you do?

He's had some bad takes in the past but he's not awful. I mean it wasn't a great throw. Whatever Brock had plenty of other great plays

He's right. The throw should've been to the sideline to protect Jennings from Diggs and the ball from being intercepted. With that said, the dude has some of the worst QB takes I've seen of any blogosphere football analyst. He said Justin Herbert would bust before he had arguably the great season any rookie QB has ever had in the NFL. He said the Eagles were fooling themselves with Jalen Hurts the offseason before had this MVP level season. He said Aaron Rodgers was washed up the season before he won two consecutive MVPs. Him hating on Brock is actually a source of relief when you look at some of these horrible takes.

and Kyle said Brock always reads it "deep to short" and that he prefers it that way

Idk about you guys but I've been smiling from ear to ear all day. This kid is exactly what this offense needed. 4… nearly 5 touchdowns in his first postseason start. He creates, he targets downfield, he can escape the pocket, he protects the footbal… he does it all. Our future is incredibly bright.

All in all... everyone's talking about Purdy's decision...
But the real question is why Aiyuk broke off his route.

Don't they say Patrick Mahomes always gets away with some dogs**t crazy contested throws, bad balls, and almost interceptions but somehow they turn into explosive plays?

Reading through his Twitter this guy seems bitter as f**k

I thought he said all of the receivers were wide open? Wish he'd make up his mind as to how to hate.

Yeah... the way Aiyuk suddenly stopped, it made me think he had re-evaluated his life and decided to give up football and walk the Earth like Caine from Kung Fu.

GREAT post! We have at minimum 2 more years to this ridiculous window and even after extending Purdy (or Lance, longshot) we could structure those extensions to keep the window open for 3-4 years longer.
