QB Brock Purdy Thread

They're not starting from the same baseline!

And the other had a broken finger to his throwing hand they never healed properly and all people did was s**t on his "spiral" all off season. No one cares if he's been injured or hadn't played meaningful football since 2019. Dude had 31 passing attempts last yr, 96% came in a s**t weather game where the whole damn team sucked.

People for whatever reason forget his ankle was turned sideways and wasn't cleared until OTAs…but we can scream rusty from the top of mountain for Brock. Not once has anyone said that about lance, who in all rights has played less football than any of them…by far.

so save me the not starting from the same baseline crap.

it's been straight negativity from a ton of you from the jump. We all gave Jimmy the benefit of the doubt and years worth of up and downs before becoming critical of his play.

I want the Niners to play the best quarterback. I trust the team will do that. This is the weirdest non-QB controversy I've ever seen.

There is virtually no way that Lance can beat what Purdy did last season simply by virtue of the fact that one is in camp and the other won 7 straight regular season and playoff games. That doesn't mean either guy can't excel or take steps back, but my god, this is absurd...even for the historical hysteria of this board.

No one is going to lose their job after going undefeated and nearly reaching a super bowl, regardless of what you think of him. And if he did, it would mean the coaches agree and that Lance looks better to them right now.

It also used to be an unwritten rule you didn't lose your job because of injury. But we have seen that broken many times.

This rule was never intended to extend across a whole off season.

I am not sure about Kyle, but I know him Harbaugh had a completely opposite rule. The injured player doesn't get the job back until he can prove he is better than the guy replacing him during the injury.

Then Alex Smith got traded to KC. I was hoping they would've kept Smith.

I think this is the kind of stuff people are talking about. If anyone dares to make some kind of point in defense of Lance for something, instead of being part of a civil discussion, they are blasted and labeled a Stan or in this case, "an overprotective Jewish mother." That's not necessary and doesn't add anything to the discussion and further fuels an inflammatory environment, which let's be honest, there's been some pretty absurd crapping on Lance at times lately (some fans saying he might not even beat out Allen.. Like come on).

There are valid criticisms of Lance, and there are valid points of defense for him. Shoot, you could say that about the other guys too.

At the end of the day I love the strength of our quarterback room. It sounds like so far, we're looking a lot better there than we were at the start of last season.

The bolded is what everyone wants, isn't it? I haven't really seen anyone indicate anything different. I think people are just getting too emotional in the discussion and crossing that line to tab others as fans that don't care about having the best guy play. Simply isn't true.

Here we go with the broken finger. What about the broken rib?

Anyone notice the quads on Brock? Clearly when he couldn't throw he was in a squat rack pumping out reps. I think he's going to carry D linemen this year if they try to jump on him.

last year in camp they called Brocky "Baby Bosa" because of his quads, this was before he emerged as Big Cock Brock

Drew Brees said one reasons his throws were so good is because his throws start from the base of his legs and goes on up to his arm. Purdy is so quick with his base, I think that is one reason he's so accurate - is that lower base quickness. He can get set up quick and hence can throw quick.

I've never seen nor heard of a guy being able to add 5+ mph to his arm passing in one offseason, but if Brock's body is composed of mostly quick twitch muscles, a bigger arm might result in greater velocity. That's the only thing I can think of because I've never seen anybody do what Brock did by training camp last year.

49ers fans badly need some actual games (even preseason games) to talk about. Absolutely stir crazy at the moment.

Like i said its a "rule" till it isn't. Trent Dilfer won a Superbowl with Baltimore and was cut in the off season. Harbaugh was all about not losing your job to injury until Kap started playing out of his mind and then got all noncommittal about Alex playing again & we know the rest.

Yes. Neither guy has shown that they can stay healthy.

Addressing his point, fans didn't actually know he had an injured finger last season. The message to the public at that time was that he was healthy. That was said this offseason retroactively in defense of his performance. Not sure how real it is. Also, FWIW, try to remember the reaction of a certain group of fans when the arm fatigue report came out. They weren't having it. In their eyes there was nothing wrong with the health of his arm, nothing wrong with his throwing motion.

Nah, only a few posters getting bent out of shape thinking we're missing on some sort of generational talent if Trey's not handed the starting job.

You must be new to NT.

He shouldn't be handed the starting job. He should compete with Brock by playing with and against the 1's as much as Brock. I speak for myself at least I don't want Trey handed anything. Brock should beat him no problem in a competition then right?

All evidence suggests he already beat him in the coaches' eyes, at least.
