LOL

Yeah I mean whatever with Brock, maybe he turns into something maybe he doesn't. Pretending our OC/HC doesn't play any part of any QB coming in here is f**king dumb. We got the same posters that refuse to give Kyle credit for anything positive playing the same BS takes….it's part of the reason I'm spending less and less time in here, honestly.

49ers pro scout Steve Slowik, then an area scout who had studied Purdy at Iowa State, along with quarterbacks coach Brian Griese, was high on the young quarterback leading into this year's draft. San Francisco had high grades on Purdy in 2021, but this year's marks were more inconsistent.

Slowik and others inside the 49ers building remained confident that Purdy could contribute. San Francisco selected the Cyclones quarterback with pick No. 262, the last in the draft. But why not just wait to see if they could sign him as an undrafted free agent?

"We had some people in the building very convicted on him," Lynch shared. "So when it came to that final pick in the draft, it was kind of a no-brainer once he was there because we really wanted him as a free agent. We didn't want to take that chance, so we went ahead and drafted him."

Crazy they added 5 MPH to his passes in just over a month.

I watched some of his college tape and his arm was an issue, but there was one pass this past Sunday…I think it was to Deebo in the end zone from like 20+ out (good throw looked like PI). That pass had some stank on it. I can't find the clip but overall it did show there's some zip there.

Did Brock do any zone read in college?

Quite a bit, that Iowa State offense also had a lot of RPO's in it.

This is actually a really good breakdown of what their offense looked like.

Sounds like it was Slowik and Griese but of course, Kyle controls the 53 in the end. John sets up the 90.

I wish there was a more tangible way to compare arm strength between quarterbacks.

Like, everyone is saying his arm is stronger than Nick Mullens but weaker than Jimmy's. But is that really true? And if so, by how much? Knowing he has a stronger arm than Mullens would make me feel better about his chances of succeeding, at least.

If you think the hype is bad now, watch it blow up if Purdy has another good game. And I'm here for it. Go out and ball, young Purdy.

I mean this is the way it always works. Coaches coach, scouts scout, it'd be weird to have a coach keeping up with late round players in particular. Scouts make their case for a player and the decision makers, in this case Kyle and Lynch, give it a thumbs up or down.

5 mph per the article improved. I'm sure there is a test but just watching things it comes out quicker than Mullens. Is it strong enough to hit those deep ones consistently? A different conversation.

Every bit of it. I can't wait. QB threads in the WZ are legit entertainment.

This weekend will go down in history. This is the weekend that Tom Brady loses and passes the baton to the "next Tom Brady (who was the next Joe Montana)" - AKA Brock "too much cock" Purdy!

yes - I'm just dreaming. Haha it would be super cool though!
