Yeah he's right. No joke. Brock Purdy throws touchdowns and wins games.

Most likely. But if Purdy comes out and throws 3 picks and looks completely outclassed, then it's a competition for sure. It'll probably be a competition anyway unless Purdy wins this game. Then it's hard to imagine a competition would happen.

If it was an honest and fair competition and not based on draft status I can't see Trey_ning wheels holding up. The way Brock Purdy can see the field, process, go through reads and progressions, has excellent mechanics, gets the ball out quick, throws with accuracy. He's just light years ahead of Trey. It's not even close IMO. There is a good chance we win too. If you have a young QB who can get you to the Super Bowl there is no reason to change that. Win or lose the next game should we get there.

Be careful of bias warping your view and decision-making. The goal isn't "to make the SB", because we would have never drafted Lance if that was the case. The goal is winning a SB.

Purdy will never have as good of a team as he has now. This could literally be his best shot to win a SB. If he falls short, the story will be - he was still very impressive but ultimately a rookie can't win that game.

And what we know from Lance is very minimal, other than he was inconsistent but had promise. We weren't nearly as good of a team yet. Both the 21 and 22 seasons had bumpy starts and strong finishes.

I also agree I've seen QB play from Purdy that is veteran play and composure. He's bo longer a rookie QB, he's a good NFL QB.

This game is what makes you a FQB. Win this, and it's 2 straight weeks of nonstop media coverage. Lance will be an afterthought. Jimmy won this game, but the story was Shanahan didn't trust Jimmy. Will that situation happen again? Will purdy break through where Jimmy could not?

Yeah the goal is to win it all and he may. But if you have a young player who plays this well there is no reason to change it. Trey is not really at Purdy's level yet. It's not really close. People hanging on to him are mostly caught up in draft status and what we gave up and how high we moved up. Not in actual play or results. Draft status doesn't matter. You just want somebody who can play.

I figure you don't believe Lance can ever be as effective as Purdy is now. I'm on the fence, but admit Purdy is shattering expectations.

I also am fully aware we have an all star team, if he can't do it now (and Purdy is much closer to his ceiling than Lance), it's reasonable to think he wouldn't get similar chances as we have to pay big money for Bosa etc.

Purdy May win this year, and in that case Lance is QB2 indefinitely. But barring a SB win, the goal remains the same and draft status is irrelevant. How do we win the SB.

Brock Purdy is arguably playing the best team in football some people seem to think this game will make or break him he's played fantastic so far I have enjoyed the ride. He has a very bright future with this team no matter what happens in this game, would I love to see the niners in the Superbowl of course but I like many thought the season was over after Jimmy G got hurt and now we are 1 game away from the Superbowl with a rookie quarterback it's amazing we are in this situation at all, Brock Purdy has been one of the best stories this year in football and for the niners.

All true.

But the standard is a SB victory. Jimmy couldn't get over the finish line. Purdy is way ahead of schedule, but this may be his best shot. Lance is still waiting, unknown whether he can get all the way.

No rookie has won this game. A win would be historic and a loss means you're probably not assured the starting job next year.

Right

Now I'll pose this to everyone. Raise your hand if you don't think Trey can be at least as good as Jalen given more than 3.5 games playing time?

I'm willing to wager that Trey in his second game vs HOU last year was better than Jalen at that point his rookie year than Jalen was. I also believe that given time to develop Trey will be good

Now with Purdy, this is exactly why he needs to beat Hurts and Mahomes or Burrow. Even as a rookie is because he is older than Trey and he has played more than Trey and if we think Purdy can still grow then so can Trey

BUT

If Purdy wins it all then he will have gotten us what we've been chasing and THEN we can hand Trey a clipboard but if not there will be a QB competition this off-season

My hope is Purdy wins out and we get a chip and afterwards we'll have some good problems to deal with

This. He does have a bright future & yep, some of us thought the season was over after Jimbo hurt his foot but also saw someone step up in the Miami game that caught our attention. Then it just became ridiculously awesome:).

Personally i think Kyle should take advantage of Purdy's tendency to scramble left with the drill to enhance his offense with Purdy. In a sense, that bobbled pass to Kittle was the kind of scramble drill I'm talking about. Kittle wasn't even supposed to run a route, but he saw his QB in trouble and found a zone for Purdy to throw to him.

Those Purdy tendencies to bug out and drift left, I think, is a good opportunity for the WRs to adjust their routes via a scramble drill, and possibly break a big one against the defense like Kittles bobbled catch did in the Dallas game.

Well, if Eagles think Brock has a tendency to scramble left, this would be a good week to work on having him scramble right. Screw Eagles up a bit. But big plus would be that when Brock is being chased around in the backfield, if he is moving Right, he can just uncork one while running. In the situations where he was scrambling Left, it is really hard ,sometimes impossible to stop, turn around and let one fly. Brock threw one into the Left sideline but it was awkward. Had he been running Right, it would have been an easy throw.

We'll see if Kyle works on having Brock scramble right on Sunday. I hope so. A couple times he got where he had to corkscrew himself around to chuck the ball. Running right, that just doesn't happen. My guess is he scrambles Left when the play is designed to go that way, nothing more complicated than that.

Agree that It is harder as a right hander to set up and throw if he's scrambling left. As others have said, defenses are forcing him to scramble left, either by a blitz or slanting the DLine rush, or stunts. I just think Kyle should take advantage of that and use his scrambling (right or left) to Purdy's advantage in those scenarios. I.e. moving pockets to the left and a screen to the right. The scramble drill is another way to take advantage of those defensive schemes.

You're absolutely right. After watching the all-22 from the last few games it has become apparent to why he often scrambles to the left. The majority of those instances it's because that is where his reads are flowing and he knows a roll out right only leaves him the option to run or take the sack.

Agree 💯%, and as others have said, McGlinchy isn't the most elite pass protector out there, so it makes sense that a lot of pressure will come from his side. Mcglinchy being Shot Putted by the DE was a to me.

That was sorta my point…have kyle work on pass plays that work to the Right, not the Left. Unquestionably Brock bails left most of the time because flow of play is Left. All Kyle needs to do is to call plays that flow to right…well, some of them , anyway.

If you look at Brock's passing depth splits, you will notice a favoritism toward the left side. Is it Kyle favoring the left for matchup purposes or is it because he is protecting a QB weakness?

Not so much a QB weakness, in my opinion, but an OLine pass protection weakness in McGlinchey.

Yup, I didn't even bother to watch the Tampa Bay game, had to review it on NFL game pass.

Do you think that affects even dropback passes as well? Not just roll outs.
