Brocky Balboa doesn't need to take a single preseason snap and he will be just fine... he came off the bench in the Miami gave with zero NFL snaps under his belt and we all know the rest of the story... color me not worried about lack of preseason snaps and his readiness as the week 1 starter
I am not sure. I mean on the MIA game, no NFL snaps, but he got preseason work, worked all summer, worked all season, etc. To go from no team activity, for maybe 6.5 months, to maybe 2-3 weeks of cramming it in, then at Steelers. Good luck. This would probably be his biggest accomplishment yet.
Just based off of everything we know right now, he will participating in team activities for weeks, at min, before the first game.
may he have a little rust? Sure, it's possible, but I wouldn't stress too much over it because he's been around the guys. He's been getting coached up, he's working with coaches and all that, studying film.
What we are used to seeing with serious injuries is when they miss everything and can't really train cause they're rehabbing an ACL or so - away from the team.
IMO, I'm not overly concerned about it. This rehab has gone as well as possible, so far. He may be participating in team activities in all of camp. We don't know yet.
id bet that Brock is participating in team activities as early as week 2-3 of training camp. Possibly earlier. It isn't like he will be 100% a week before the season and just get thrown out there.
he will be 2/3 if the way through rehab when camp starts. So his arm will be near full strength.
Rusty in terms of throwing the football? Maybe. Probably even likely. But Purdy isn't exactly just a "thrower of the football," he's a "football player" and has all of the intangibles you want at quarterback. Play recognition, audibles, blocking assignments, adjustments, knowing when a play is dead and to improvise - are all things that he will still excel at and be even better at now that he's had a full off-season to learn the offense inside and out. If he's healthy week 1, he will start. I don't care if he hasn't taken a single pre-season snap.
Him being rusty for the first few games is just par for the course niners under shanahan. The team every season basically looks unready and pathetic for like the first 3-4 games before we even look like a top team. The play calling is questionable at best, there's drops, and they start slow every season.
Honestly it will probably happen again and the media will start throwing hate at purdy when it's just how the niners are.
By week 5 it should be sorted out.
