The process of giving Brock Purdy a better fastball started with the quarterback encircled by 3-D motion capture cameras, which track and lay out every aspect of his throwing motion. Here is what the cameras found:
He created too much elbow extension and elbow flexion as he brought his arm up.
• He needed to settle into a better pre-pass stance, which involved dropping his hips and engaging his glute muscles.
• He was not drawing nearly enough from his hip muscles on the throw.
• His backstroke was elongated.
• His front arm had too much movement and was not connected to the throw.
"This was one of the largest measurable increases in performance that we've ever seen," says Will Hewlett, the guru, and a house expert of QB Collective (an expansive think tank founded by a former NFL player-turned-agent, Richmond Flowers, with connections to NFL coaches like Mike McDaniel, Matt LaFleur, Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay). During the draft process, Hewlett says he added roughly 5 mph to Purdy's pass, which, had the quarterback been a baseball player, could have easily triggered an investigation for performance-enhancing drug use. "It got to the point where NFL organizations said, What on Earth did you do?"
Agree 💯%, and even more remarkable is that he picked up Kyle's complicated offense in less than a year with hardly any reps. Those are indications of a processor that is once in a generation level. He is just so quick with his reads. Add in the Drew Brees accuracy and Kyle Shanahan's ability to draft running backs, and Purdy will never have to shoulder the offense 💯% on his back. He'll always have help on a bad day. Add in his mobility (better than Jimmy, and as good as Trey, in a sense) and accuracy while moving (the dropped Aiyuk pass in the end zone), he's a born playmaker. We will know this year if he's truly a Franchise QB, but he's well on his way there if last years stats and results are any indication.
Hahah I love how you're always so optimistic both QBs.(not being sarcastic).
i really do think Brock has some elite processing and I love how he guns it in a split second - he made some really nice tight window throws and I think its one of the main reasons he has been so good in the redzone, hes very accurate, processed really well, and has the confidence to sling it into tight windows. When it comes to his athleticism, he seems to be quicker/better burst than Lance in short areas but Lance had the bigger play ability.
it's similar to how Lance has the better big play ability with his arm over Purdy but Brock has the advantage in the short and intermediate game.
of course this is without seeing much of lance, and Trey has improved his game quite a bit since last time we saw him, so who knows how true that really is anymore.
im not saying lance doesn't have the intangibles, because we really haven't seen enough of him yet to determine that, but I think Brock has displayed them in every game he's played.
Brock is why I anticipate we will get off to a quick start. Couple his ability to process and attack with CMC and I don't see why we won't get off to a great start. I also think our offense is going to be more dynamic because of TDP/Mason - they seem to have upped their game with the pass catching.I think it's going to be huge when CMC is out, that our offense won't have to change much and still have that dynamic RB threat all over the field.
i really feel like we are about to see an all time great niners squad, if we stay healthy. Soooo many Weapons on offense, defense, AND Special Teams. We have phenomenal coaching (I think wilks experience and Wisdom is going to benefit kyle) and I think the best depth we've had as a whole since kyle got here.
I really like our chances this year. I feel like this is going to be the best squad we've had since 1994
I keep saying this to everyone I talk to. This is one of the most stacked teams I've seen in a very long time. The way they've built this team is absolutely incredible. We somehow have great starters and excellent depth everywhere except the offensive line. I seriously don't know how you stop all of our offensive weapons or game plan to take any single player away without getting destroyed by another ELITE weapon. We saw a preview of it last season and now these guys comeback with more chemistry playing together and more familiarity learning Kyle's offense? Good luck keeping this offense under 35-40 a game.
If Brock plays a full season, he's going to be in the running for MVP. This team has more offensive potential than Shanny's Atlanta 2016 superbowl team, and that's scary. Purdy's numbers over a full season would've been on pace to match Matt Ryan's MVP season and our offense was matching that Atlanta offense in points per game. This was in year ONE! Most QB's don't take off this early under Kyle, and I think his sophomore season has a chance to rival Patrick Mahomes. He might not throw for 50 TDs, but his efficiency will be off the charts with all these weapons surrounding him and a defense that will put the offense in favorable positions.
I get why many still doubt him, even though I think it's silly, but I get that they want to see more. I just think that by week 4, Purdy will have the NFL world buzzing and all those questions will be thrown out. I knew this kid was a superstar after that Aiyuk drop vs Seattle in the playoffs. We're about to see stuff like that on a regular basis. There is something about this kid that is screaming future great and I hope I'm right.
I think Shanny might feel this way too because of his comments about Sam Darnold having a chance to be another Steve Young if he sits and further develops for a few years, and it got me thinking that he probably thinks Purdy is his Montana. 
That would be sweet if Kyle thinks Purdy is ready for a gold jacket.
Agree with the offense. This offense, last year, was already a playoff caliber offense. One short game away from the big dance. So hopefully more of the same this year. Having said that, the 49ers Jinx - not going to mention it - is what I'm a bit worried about. Not so much today as last year -- because I think we have much more good depth this year, but it's still in the back of my mind.
But yeah, 49es were knocking on the super bowl door with a rookie 7th round pick.
Who would have predicted that, this time, last year. Purdy will be QB1 and Trey, I'm sure, will get his chances to prove he can be QB1 during this long season. Trey just has to be ready for it, while Purdy just has to play his game and just be smart about the football and live another day by grounding the ball, sliding out of bounds, and just generally protect himself as best he can. He needs to call a run audible if he sees a full on blitz coming - I'm sure CMC, Mason, Elija, Price, or Juszczyk will take the bullet for Brock rather than have their season lost because of stuff you don't want happening.
