You can tell from his initial reaction Purdy was kinda mad Aiyuk didn't haul that perfect pass in since he took a pretty big hit.

Agree 💯%, and seriously, they have to do a better job on the scramble drills. Russel Wilson made a living just on the scramble drills alone.

Yeah. I was pissed he dropped it and I didn't even take a hit. Lmaoo thank god it wasn't a TD we needed.
Aiyuk shaving points

Hahahah trying to make some coin since he doesn't have his second contract yet.

i feel like Aiyuk is one of the most underrated players in the league. Very good all around player and usually dependable. Great run/route blocker too. I doubt we sign him to an extension :/ I'll miss the guy. Hopefully we can replace him properly
I love our core.. but i'm more excited for Bell and the TO clone in Isaiah

Yeah, I was posting in the Bell thread that the more I've looked into, the more I like him.

Isaiah winstead? Yeah I like his skill set. Very physically gifted. Pretty raw though from what I've seen. I think he will spend the year on the practice squad developing and will have a really good chance to replace Jennings next year. He's very intriguing.

Yeah that guy. I think the guy wants to play badly. a team who snatches him off our PS would need to put him on the 53. Which would give him a better chance to pllay

Then let's hope he isn't as raw as I think he is. I think Danny gray may lose his roster spot this year, which is tough because he's our only real speed guy, even though we don't use him.

How many WR do we keep on the roster? 4-5?
deebo, Aiyuk, jennings, Ray Ray - then what? One or two more?

The 49ers not so secret weapon

"To pick up the momentum that we had from last year, and then him being able to really just break down protections and different concepts, having Griese in our corner has been a blessing," Purdy said. "He's the man."

Brian Griese

"It's also having that mindset of, 'OK, when I step in that huddle, I am the leader,' " Darnold said. "And guys are going to, if they have questions, they should feel confident in me that I know the answer in terms of scheme and what they got, so Griese has been great that way."

tough call.. DS, BA locks

Jennings great chance to be a lock, but Bell already coming for that spot

Ray.. a ST need ?

Purdy needs a tall physical sideline or EZ WR threat who can fight for the ball.. still early but the ride to the Reg season should be a good one

I was reading this last night! This guy seems like a great coach.

i can't remember where I heard/read it, but someone said that he's the most actively involved QB coach the niners have had in a long long time. The way he's out there running routes for the guys and coaching them up.

kyle has done a great job of getting coaches who like to be actively involved like Griese, Kourcek, etc. it's really cool and I imagine a lot more fun for the players

Well with the new special teams rule on kickoffs, how necessary is Ray Ray? I like his speed and ability in offense , he contributes. Probably still need him for punt returns but bell did a really good job at those in college too.

yeah, it's going to be a really interesting camp battle. We will probably trade some quality guys because we can't keep 'em all. That's my guess, and not just at the WR position.

Like 2019. The team came out firing on all cylinders while jimmy got comfy. Even if it is Brock, and I think he will be in good shape, it's still an integration process depending on how much time he's missed in camp.

what I'm curious about is if we will head to Youngstown, OH. The week or so before the game and get ready that way. That would be an excellent way to get the team focused and together before the season starts, IMO.

True. Lol I think this years defense will be the best we've had since possibly 2011.

i was impressed with Ray Ray's route running. He wasn't used often but he was effective when playing

Sounds like we need better advanced stats...

In the interim:
QBR with McCaffrey:
Jimmy: 40.5, 76.4, 58.1, 78.0, 82.0. Avg: 67.0
Purdy: 56.5, 93.0, 64.8, 61.6, 67.9, 51.7, 89.5, 53.3. Avg: 67.2.

So I'd say in QBR Purdy was slightly better, had better best games, including one elite game and one nearly elite game, no below average games (50 is average IIRC), but had more games closer to a little above average and Jimmy had more games a lot above average. Whereas Jimmy had one below average game and two games far above average, one really very good game.

But the main difference between them is Purdy's TD%, which was a ridiculous 7.6%.

Yeah, it seemed like we scored at will with Brock under center. What was his lowest scoring game? 23 or so?

Idk what it was exactly but I thought it was clear that Brock played, and operated the offense, better than Jimmy. I thought Jimmy was playing his best ball too. Some say it was CMC, and I'm sure that's a core factor, but Jimmy had CMC while he was still getting comfortable with the offense. On the other hand, Brock was an inexperienced rookie with essentially no reps all year.

You'd think Jimmy would of benefited more than Brock because CMC is an all-pro vet and Jimmy is a Vet. But instead a rookie with essentially no team reps got the most out of CMC (and everyone else).

i think Brock's special. Idk why anyone would rather play someone else over him if he's healthy. I really think we lucked out and found very special qb.

Because he didn't seem special to the eye. Yes, He added some escapability we haven't seen since Jeff Garcia but he also had a number of throws that should've been easy picks for the defense, his release and processing is noticeably slower than Jimmy, and that spin and roll left thing he does got extremely predictable at the end.

Not to mention most of the offensive improvement can reasonably be attributed to CMC (and Mitchell).

It wouldn't surprise me if "the book" on him made its way around the league this off-season and his performance dropped off a cliff. Remember how good Kaepernick was in the beginning?

Didn't seem special to the eye? You miss some of those off-platform or side arm throws after scrambling? I'd say he looked pretty special. Not like supreme arm strength special, but special nonetheless.

Compare Purdy's first season to Kaepernick's first season starting. Both got their jobs in similar situations but many people thought Kaep was going to take over the league. Purdy's good but doesn't really give off those vibes.

Hahaha I thought kap was going to be good but I never got the elite passer vibe him. I knew he relied on his legs a lot. I felt like he lacked touch and arch on his throws. I didn't think he would be bad but I was disappointed how he never really improved in that area.

i get a way different vibe from Purdy to Kap. Honestly not even close. I was super excited for kap because I was so tired of Smith's super conservative play.

Agree to disagree.

My feelings on Kap were that if he figured out anticipation and got more consistent he'd be legendary, let alone great. My feelings on Purdy is that as long as he doesn't regress, he's the type of QB that would keep us in contention for years. No need to improve much. Just don't regress.

But Kap, had off the field circumstances been different, would have been our QB for a decade or more. I don't know if he was ever willing to change how he played though. I don't see him going to someone like Christensen like Trey has done.

That's not out of the ordinary for him. That's why I've said he's like Mahomes in that ten yard window. He's not a burner but he is quick and can buy time, he can throw in a moment's notice from awkward positions, he's not afraid to do so, and he's still accurate without a platform.

It's the off platform stuff that's Mahomes-esque. The run around for 10 secs was a lil Kyler Murray-esque imo.
yet careful about making these comps, in relation to very specific aspects that remind you of very specific QBs, lest someone have the takeaway of 'oh you think he's gonna be better than Mahomes'
