QB Brock Purdy Thread

Probably a few seasons to really know what he is pending he doesn't bomb out immediately.

I think the most important thing is he has something in his profile at the NFL level that not only establishes him as the best option we have right now, but also the most promising going forward. Let's find out.

Purdy don't play!

No he does, that's why he was great last season.

Lol! What I actually meant is Purdy doesn't play around. He's ahead, he's on top of everything- his injury, his football training, development, improvement, etc. In my opinion, he's probably the number 1 football junkie among all the 49ers players.

It's been about 3.5 months since Brock Purdy's early-March surgery and he's already been throwing for nearly a month.

If his recovery continues at this rate, consider it very likely that is the 49ers' Week 1 starter https://t.co/9rvGUWSuu2

Throwing for nearly a month? Really?

I mean IQ's term that's recognized to begin with as non-improvable. A "natural instict" term so the vet and rookie thing shouldnt apply.

You're not serious, right?

Lol no idea what he is even trying to say.

Brock has very high football IQ and it's awesome. Sees the game extremely well and should just improve. It's exciting

in my opinion, football IQ has a lot to do with overall awareness of what's going on throughout the entire field, why it's happening, what is likely to follow it. While also being very aware of the rules/best option available given the circumstances. Being able to not only process all of that quickly but have studied all the different aspects.

for example, not every player studies the rule books or keeps up with them. Mcnabb said after a game that he didn't even know a tie was possible. Lmao so it's just cool on a play like the one where the o line men were already upfield, he knew he couldnt pass it at that point snd tried to buy time to recoup some yards before he eventually went out of bounds for a short loss. He mitigated the overall yard loss and avoided the penalty but not every young player would of realized all of that in the moment. I didn't even realize what he was doing until I had a chance to think about it and the announcer explained it

I think what he is saying is that you are born with your intelligence quotient. It's not something that you can improve. And football IQ is otherwise known as "it". Brock appears to have it.

Wasn't really this hard, was it? I mean Google's still a thing, but thanks for helping these guys out, lol.

This has to be one of the more underrated moments of the year

First play from scrimmage in his first career start and Brock Purdy gets SMOKED by Keanu Neal

Moments like that make a lot of guys fold at the NFL level

Brock took some hard hits. He probably injured his ribs on that play and kept playing. He seems durable to me, getting his arm hit at the right timing/angle was unfortunate, but he seemed durable as for as taking hits and playing through pain

I rewatched that Cowboys game and Kyle called a QB delay up the middle in the RZ and the second he saw a DL bearing down on him, he got low and in the fetal position. I liked that feel and response. Smart.

Brock is pretty good at knowing when to kill a play. For a rookie, he was very good. That's honestly where he reminded me of Brees the most, his ability to kill plays that weren't there and move on to the next down

Agreed. It's hard not to get excited about him.

Thirded.

It was incredibly impressive to see his discernment of when to get creative or aggressive off script (whether it was with his legs or arm), when to take a check down, and when to kill the play. It was damn good in general, but as a rookie, let a lone a 7th rounder, it was a shocking level of aptitude.

"Nearly" is the key word. He started throwing the last week of may

Throwing for nearly a month? Really?

Yeah, he started throwing at the very end of May, so depending on which day it was specifically - it's been about a month. He started throwing ahead of schedule.

he'll have been throwing for about 2 months by the time training camp even starts, and have spent time with his off-season QB coaches. So 2/3 months already complete by the time training camp comes around.

he will definitely participate in camp, possibly even when it starts but on a limited basis.

this is why I was always confused why some kept saying he will have missed the entire offseason? All he's missed is team throwing drills, which aren't that important in OTAs and Minicamp. He will be fully cleared, if he stays on track, a few weeks before the season and will have lightly participated (at worst) all camp.

it never made sense to me for some to think he will miss the first two games. Lol I always thought that was wishful thinking (and I posted a lot about that). lol the only way I thought he would miss the start of the season is it a setback happened, which thankfully hasn't.

i think the only way lance or darnold see the field as a starter is if Brock sucks it up or gets injured, otherwise it was always his job and Lance/Darnold were competing to back him up in my eyes.

The fact you're saying you can't improve your IQ made me assume you were making a backhanded joke. Since you definitely can improve your IQ… a simple google search would tell you.

Anyone know where he will be throwing? I'm in Jacksonville. I can get my binoculars out!

Hahah I don't. If you find out, get us an update on how his arm looks!

idk if it's actually a QB program or if they're just starting this. I believe they were mainly for baseball players initially. Not too sure on thay though, just seemed like (from I read) that Brock with a throwing specialist that usually works with pitchers and it grew from there

I'm really interested to see Purdy now that coaches have tape on him and will be studying him all off season.

Well they had tape after his first few games last year, he just kept adjusting. A defensive coordinator said it only takes like 2-3 games of tape before you can start fully planning for someone.

but I do agree that he will have to continue expanding/improving his game if he wants to continue playing at a high level. It'll be hard to take away parts of his game because we have so many quality skill players across each position. CMC, Kittle, Deebo, Aiyuk, Juice and now potentially Latu/Bryant (new TEs). You can't double cover all of them, so as long as Purdy keeps making the right reads and throws, it'll be hard to stop him.

it isn't like he was running a gimmick offense and was beating everyone cause he can run fast or anything, he just was playing at a very high level. I'm optimistic that it'll be a non factor but it'll be interesting to watch. A big reason why I'm curious if he will be in camp when it starts is so he can start getting plays down and reps as much as possible before the season starts.

By now most people know it's the offense that Kyle runs more than the QB. His offense doesn't require the QB to go out nad make amazing plays all day. Just be smart accurate and don't turn the ball over. As far a Brock is concerned, the league has seen enough of him to know he's not going to beat you with a lot of deep throws or with dazzling runs. The one tendency he showed last season is the backwards and to the left side retreat when under pressure. My biggest concern is that he will try and do more than last year and force throws that get deflected and intercepted.

Most of it is genetic or developed in the early stages but nevermind that, as I'm referring to the "TERM",..."Football IQ",...more than the reality.

The football IQ of a veteran vs. a rookie makes little sense, as prospects are complimented all the time on football IQ but not in relation to their experience. It's pretty clear you're to me that you're lost on it,.... but so long as several in here agree with the nonsense (because they're in your camp, lol), I guess that gives you a pass. Continue on?
