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?

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.

in 2020 he was a consensus mid to late first round pick

Im guessing he dropped so much because his 2021 season looked exactly like his 2020 season when most expected him to take another step forward and he isnt the most physically talented QB

Yeah, he's definitely not a 7th round talent. The main reasons he fell was his lack of arm strength at the time, below average, and his last two seasons he made a lot of mistakes because he was trying to overcompensate, which he's talked about.

id rather him make the mistakes then instead of now.

skylar Thompson and the guy baltimore had last year, are true 7th round picks. You could see it in the way they played, horrific. Those guys are just lucky the defense kept them in the game. They could barely even get a snap off on time. Meanwhile, Brock had the highest QB rating in the league and top 3 offense.

it isn't like Miami doesn't have talent or the same system. Idk about baltimore, I know their skill players weren't great.

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.

Nothing you said disagrees with what I said.

"Funny" is one way to describe it.

Goddam

yestedsy was a light practice rep wise, today was heavy, Kyle said tomorrow will be moderate.

no Brock tomorrow so Lance and Darnold will get a lot of first team reps.
seems like Darnold has cooled off some these last few practices. Will be interesting to see how he does with the 1s.

wrong thread. My bad. Hahah

'No Brock tomorrow'

I brought this up in the past. Tua was the 5th overall pick. Tell me how Purdy compare to Tua physically and athletically. I think they are very similar. Apparently most scouts and people believe Tua is good enough physically and atheltically to be a franchise QB in the NFL, otherwise he wouldn't have been a top 5 overall pick.

Bit but but grant cohn says purdy is hot garbage in a dumpster and has the noodleist arm he's ever seen.

Go back to old face mask

Reminder:

From his first snap against the Dolphins to his final snap against Dallas:

Purdy threw the ball 220 times across 8 games for 1,854 yards for more than 8.1 Y/A.

We went 8-0 (including 2-0 in the playoffs). Five games were against playoff teams.

He threw 16 TD's and 3 INT's. He also rushed for 2 TD's.

He fumbled the ball zero times.

He put up a 111.4 passer rating.

Literally ANY first round QB with a rookie season even remotely close to this would already be anointed.

This whole "oh well has he REALLY proven himself??" is so ridiculous. 220 passes over a half-season sample size is not just a fluke at this point. There's maybe a chance that his 8-game run was a 2013 Foles situation but than again… Foles is a Super Bowl MVP so is that really the worst trajectory?
