QB Brock Purdy Thread

BP heard the weak arm talk and decided to lead everyone like they are T Hill, show off the arm cannon

The throw to Deebo in the endzone was a dime. Probably would have been a TD if not for the blatant interference. That was a down the field throw. Also the throw to Deebo was like 1/4 yard behind the line of scrimmage. So I guess they are counting that as a backwards lateral and a run. Just barely so. But he could have had roughly 2 TD's in the game. 1 was down the field and a good throw. I don't think he at all played badly. He did miss a few others. But far from a terrible game.

AGree, the Jauan throw was deep also. Some folks here have said that Jauan pass traveled about 30 yards or so.

I don't think it's a big deal in this offense. I still remember that 30+ yard throw (I think) to George in the Washington game (the one where George intercepted the pass to Ray Ray). So it's not like he's not accurate in the deep ball.

Every time I hear about 49er QBs struggling with the deep balls I think of Shaun "It came down like a punt" Hill

He was a bust.

Did Lance ever throw deep balls?

I think once in the pre season. But if I'm not mistaken, a "deep ball" is technically 20 or more yards, right? I think he had one or so, I believe to deebo against the Texans, is that right? Other than that, I don't think he ever did. For some reason he was crowned as this man with an excellent deep throw ability, and maybe he does, but I don't really remember seeing him hit many. He didn't play much, so maybe he didn't get to it.

Trey has completed 6 of 16 on 20+ yard passes, with 1 TD and 1 INT.

In comparison, Brock is 7 of 19 on 20+ yard passes with 5 TD's and 1 INT.

Very interesting. Appreciate the info. Nearly identical (lance has slight comp edge) but Brock has several more touchdowns. Although, you can argue that if it ends up as a touchdown is sometimes out of your control. You just make the throw and the player does what they can where they can.

And he was probably out most accurate deep thrower in recent memory.

He just threw the worst spirals ever.

It was roughly 51 air yards. He released at the 49 amd it landed about 2 yards into the end zone. He has enough arm power

This isn't really true. It's very common sense that you become a lot less accurate on deeper balls if you have to put a lot more weight into your throws. You lose control. Try throwing a regular football 20 yards, then make the football twenty times heavier. You are not going to hit that same target in the same way when you have to max out your arm.

Post-injury Alex Smith is a great example. He was pretty accurate on short and intermediate stuff, but his deeper throws were all over the place.

It really isn't that big a deal on this team though. You want him to hit the open guys, no doubt and it's certainly a deficiency area. But against good teams I don't see anyone this wide open down the field. And the Niners offense is geared for short/intermediate stuff anyway.

Now if Brock starts making picks/turnovers AND not hitting those wide open guys down the field, then I'd be more worried.

Who is claiming otherwise?

Most of Brock's 20+ yard completions are TD's. Atleast 3 of those TD's are into the endzone. The CMC one against the bucs and the Aiyuk one against PIT were perfectly placed passes near the front pile one. One was to his left and the other was to his right. The Kittle one was right down the middle. The aiyuk TD against the bucs was underthrown but Brock was getting blasted as he threw it. I can't remember the 5th one off the top of my head.

That doesn't seem accurate... I can think of the TD to Deebo vs the Seahawks and Texans, both over 20 yards.

You're right. I need to double check my work. Sorry.

Are you charting plays? Or just pulling it from a website?

Yes I agree completely. He has enough and has shown that accuracy before.

A website. I had it wrong, not the site. It was an unintentional mistake on my part.

Gotcha. I was just going to say it was cool if you were charting plays.
