QB Brock Purdy Thread

The rams chewed the clock and that kept our points down.

We had 2 more drives in the PITT game than we had in the LAR game.

I don't think people realize how accurate Purdy truly is.

We had issues with drops before, but Purdy's ball placement is essentially eliminating that issue.

From my perspective, his processing is tops in the NFL right now. You don't have to call shot plays for him to attack downfield because he's seeing everything.

I'm not worried about his deep misses in the slightest, he's going to hit some very soon.

agreed!

I thought Purdy was fairly inaccurate throughout the game yesterday, especially in regards to his standards. It wasnt just the deep ball. Hope he was just off yesterday.

Other than the deep passes, I can't remember too many missed passes.

I know he had a couple throw aways, and the miscue with CMC in the redzone, where I thought that was due to pressure more than lack of accuracy.

But I will rewatch the game tonight like I always do, maybe I missed something.

It's just refreshing to me to have a QB who uses his feet to open new throwing windows. And I agree this wasn't Purdy at his best.

There were ball placement issues on some of the completed passes. He also had the incompletion to Deebo on the 3rd down slant.

I didn't think much of the incompletion to the flat when the Rams sent the house late in the game. Like the Sanchize was saying he was probably expecting CMC to break off his route or something along those lines.

What's absolutely shocking about Purdy is how little of the absolutely terrible boneheaded plays he makes for a really young QB. He just refuses to make them. It's unbelievable. All over the league other guys are making them. If this is his "bottom" we are really going to win a lot the next 10 - 15 years. I think people underestimate how important taking care of the ball is. For any NFL team. Maybe even especially this one how we are built.

In a study conducted by the Harvard Sports Analysis Collective, it was found that a team that wins the turnover margin in a game wins 69.6 percent of the time. To demonstrate the relative strength of turnover influence, home teams won "just" 57.2 percent of all games in the same sample. The effect is compounding as well, as teams that won the turnover margin by two or more won 83.9 percent of the time and 90.7 percent of the time when winning the margin by three or more.

I said in the Kyle thread if one more person tries to blame Jimmy not throwing to open deep guys on "Kyle's system" I'm gonna do it. Because Kyle has REPEATEDLY said—including after the Rams game—that he wants his QBs taking those open deep shots.

You've been warned...

Personally, I just don't think the long ball is a point of emphasis on this offense. Yes, Purdy does need to take the long ball shots, if its' there. But just taking it and missing - still has some benefits, and still will scare some DC's into loosening their pass coverages. *IF* the long ball was something Kyle wanted to make as a featured part of his game, he'd want more Tyreek Hill type WR's and less Deebo, Aiyuk, and Jauan type of Wr's. I just don't think those misses will significantly affect Kyle's passing offense to where it will be shut down. Having said that, we'll see in the NY Giants game if Purdy is still having problems with the Long Ball. NY Giants, as I understand it, haven't had a defensive sack this season yet. (somebody correct me if I'm wrong) But if I"m right, the NY Giants game would be the time to throw the long ball and get Purdy's deep ball calibrated correctly.

I just thought he had passes behind receivers causing them to break stride, or low during various parts of the game. Those passes limited the YAC because they werent accurate. Now, most of them were completed, so I could see why they would be overlooked as inaccurate passes.

Maybe I got up for snacks on that play because I don't remember that. LOL.

Either way, I'm very confident in Brock, even if this wasn't his best performance.

Seriously though, the offense scored 30 points against a good defense, while the other teams offense was playing very well, and this is considered an "off game".

We've reached a new level of QB play IMO.

It was technically Purdy's worst game, and yet he was still very productive. 30 points and 365 yards of offense.

Ball placement was good overall, IMO. Yes, a couple completions were not on point, but conversely most of his completions hit the target in stride and on the numbers, which is why there were some short passes turned into nice gains.

One of the differences between Brock and Jimmy is that Brock DOES take those shots. And I hate to say this yet again, but in 2018 when CJ Beathard went in, immediately there were more shots down the field. He took more shots with Trey in as well. But that isn't even the point. Kyle has said REPEATEDLY that when the shots are there he wants his guys taking them. There is no "Don't throw it to the open man down the field because you have to throw it to the short guy I schemed open for you" nonsense in this offense. When the play is there, he wants his guys making it, and he wants them being fearless and taking shots when they are there. He's said this numerous times.

When purdy got blitzed in the redzone, cmc shoulda broke right instead of inside, yes? I didnt think that was purdy's fault

I agree. Lots of room to CMC's outside shoulder. It would have been a touchdown. Pretty sure that was a choice route for CMC. What I like about that play is that the 49ers were trying to beat the blitz with a quick throw, not with an extra blocker. That takes confidence and trust in the QB to make a quick and correct decision.

We've seen this deep ball theme before. I think when you have a safe game plan where a huge chunk of the low volume of passes are behind or just past the LOS and then 2-3 times a game, are asked to hit the deep lower % shot, it's off. Even the wide open ones.

It's like chipping on the chipping green for 3 hours and then heading out to tee/hole 1 and trying to hit your driver for the first time that day.

Meh, it's not like Mahomes/Herbert/Allen/Stafford are chucking it deep every other drop back. It's the NFL and if you want to be paid like an elite guy….you gotta hit those open explosives…at the very least give the receiver a shot to make the play.

it wasn't just one throw either, it was a couple throws downfield. I'm not saying he can't or never will…but this issue dates back to his college time as well.

His overall game is good…I'm happy he's our guy right now. Hopefully it's something he can become a little more consistent at.

As been pointed out over and over, he has hit those passes down field when it's been there last year.
He was off this whole game. To me, he looked slow delivering the ball from the start of the game.
It was an off game, it happens..

If him missing deep was a reoccurring issue through all 10 of his games, it would have been pointed out and beat to death. It was a "weak arm" that was hammered on, but now that's been pushed under the rug for now and traded in for being inaccurate throwing deep, because of this one game.

Dude hasn't played a years worth of games, He's got a ton of stuff to work on, and hopefully he puts the time in to fix stuff.

Personally, I think he will.

One quibble, I'm not gonna call the Rams a good D, sure Donald, but they also give heavy snaps to Witherspoon. A lot of their rook class is active on D, not cuz they want to, but cuz they need bodies out there. I like how Sanchez was describing it as a guy who's played in the league, BP just needs to be the point guard, distribute the football. Let these guys go to work. Like KS said once, it's simple stuff, can you do it? He had a mixed game himself, but the team around him played very well. Just my take.
