All Purdy needs to do is break 4,000 this season and the franchise job is his! 🙏🏻

Beat Hurts beat Mahomes win the Super Bowl. That's the standard. Same as it was for Jimmy. We have gone and lost but now we need to win. When a QB does that he's minted as the franchise

I got a feeling Dallas will win the East. With all the losses Philly took this offseason I don't think they'll be as strong.

I've been saying this all off season. I think Dallas is going to be a bigger problem than Philly. I think Philly will be good but not have as dominant of a D, especially once that has the same pass rush, losing hargrave was a big deal. They have some good young talent but they're rookies.

i just hate Philly and want them to lose but I really think the cowboys will be a bigger problem cause they're a more complete team. Dallas's issue will be health with their o line and RB. They don't really have depth or a bruiser this year and are gojng to try and depend on their run game more to lessen daks turnovers.

i just hope we kick the sh!t out of both of them.

philly is still the best team in the trenches

they did take a hit on some of their skill positions

The kid has made some plays, without question I thought he was much better than Jimmy G. I also think he's the most elusive QB the 49ers have had since Jeff Garcia. I pray this kid stays healthy, so tired of this QB carousel since Shanahan became HC.

I'd love to see Brock just uncork a couple of 50+ yard TD passes against the Raiders just to shut up the folks who think he can't throw deep. That should give a lot of defensive coordinators less sleep when facing the 49er offense in the regular season.

The morons who think Brock can't throw deep are completely full of 💩 anyway. The TD that Kittle stole from Ray-Ray was 45 yards in the air. There's less than one throw a game that deep from even the strongest armed qbs. The ones complaining about Brock just can't stand having a qb that's not 6'5" and 250 pounds. The same guys would probably want JaMarcus Russell to start over Joe Montana. Some think physical tools are the most important part of quarterbacking. Which is completely backwards thinking. The mental aspect is by far more vital. That's why the guys that can do both are very rare, and unless you are lucky, are gone before your team picks.

Agree with you that there are morons out there that still think Brock can't play QB1 and win super bowls. And Yes, he can throw deep. However...
Dickey continued: "In one of these off-the-record talks before the 1979 draft, Walsh had praised Dils's intelligence and courage but doubted that he had the physical ability to be a standout in the NFL. He didn't want to downgrade his former quarterback publicly, but he also wanted me to understand why the 49ers wouldn't draft Dils, whom he projected as no more than a backup quarterback in the NFL."

...so between Steve Dills (Walsh's Stanford QB) and Joe Montana, Joe was bigger, faster and stronger than Dills, so physical talent does matter in the NFL. There is a minimum standard for players to play certain positions. Doug Flutie comes to mind. Point being - yes there is a minimum size/height/arm requirements for the NFL QB position, but Purdy meets and exceeds a lot of them too. Kyle would not have drafted Purdy if he didn't think Purdy met the arm requirements his offense needed.

He's a lot better than people give him credit for.

I feel like people quickly forgot how awesome he was because of the injury. What he did was historic and never had been done before. He set/tied so many records, played at such a high level, was ridiculously composed. I'm super pro Brock until he proves me otherwise. Some take it as I'm anti Lance, and I'm not, I just don't have the same confidence in Lance as I do Brock. I still want Lance to have a great career and if he's playing, I'll be rooting for him, no doubt.

it's just Brock did something special and I really want to see if it was real or not before we consider someone else.

im of the belief that if a player is special, they flash it, even if they're not having an overall great game - you can still see it. I feel like there were so many flashes with Brock (even outside of his play, his football IQ/awareness, leadership, composure, toughness, decision making etc).

I'm enjoying camp but man I can't wait for week 1.

Yes I definitely agree with a lot of what you said there. Good points.

Purdy has all the makings of a generational talent. Another Drew Brees/Russel Wilson level kind of athlete.

If what Tankle predicts becomes true, Kyle got lucky by picking Brock in the draft. We, as 49er fans, got lucky in getting Brock as our current QB1.

ESPN does annual re-drafts after each season, where the beat writer for every team has the benefit of hindsight. How much of a surprise would it be to know 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was taken No. 4 overall by none other than Robert Saleh and the New York Jets?

He was definitely better than Jimmy G which is fantastic considering it was the best Jimmy G version we've seen since 2017 AND Brock did it as a rookie while Jimmy was a 9 year vet.

Yes, there is absolutely a minimum you need to meet. Really I should call it a standard - you need to be tall enough, big enough, strong enough arm. Otherwise you start to insert limitations into the game.

but if you meet those minimum requirements in those catagories, you're good. Having more then the minimum helps, but added benefit is minimal in the big scheme.

The wild thing about this, is if Brock was drafted 4th overall like the report is saying in "hindsight" - the whole "limited" thing regarding Brock would never surface. He is only knocked cause he was 7th round, so there is a stigma he is limited.

if he was 4th overall, everyone would be saying he's a future HOF. It's funny how draft picks molds so many peoples opinions/perceptions.

Yup and both he and Sam Howell, as an example were at one point regarding as round 1s, depending on where you look, in the process. I think during draft season, the league collectively loses it's mind, and starts rating ppl like Wilson ahead of Fields, cuz of a throw, at pro day.
