QB Brock Purdy Thread

Brady benefitted a lot from things outside his control. Tuck rule and a kicker who made his kicks at the end of regulation immediately come to mind. If Brady doesn't have Vinatieri making those FGs is he no longer "clutch" the way that Purdy is being seen as not clutch for Gould/Moody missing their kicks in the two times he drove the team down for a FG attempt to win it?

Sure, he drove and his kicker hit, ours missed. The last two games tho, BP had a lot in his control and had to say postgame, that he has to clean it up. He does.

Of course. I'm just saying that in the 4 games Purdy has been behind/tied late, he's 2-2 at setting the team up to win. That's far too small of a sample size to say anything either way.

hard to call an L a W
i think 1-2-1 is more representative maybe

Not calling the games wins. Calling the situational QB play in those two games successful.

Purdy's last 17 full games (first full season as a pro):

300-444 (68% comp.)
3887 yds (228 ypg)
28 TD
8 INT
2 FUM
4 rushing TD
28 sacks

Compare that to Geno Smith's last 17 games in the same span, who is a veteran pro bowler.

Geno's last 17 full games:

395-583 (68% comp.)
4256 yds (250 ypg)
28 TD
15 INT
5 FUM
0 rushing TD
44 sacks

He's plenty good enough when you look at it over time.

It's both mind-boggling yet not surprising that so many fans are saying he's not good all of a sudden. They are so emotionally fragile, that the first real cluster of struggles for a 23-year 2nd year QB somehow outweighs everything positive he's done and that he has no chance to improve.

Purdy simply has tried to do too much the past couple games at bad times unfortunately. He's got a fantastic football IQ with good mobility, a quick release, and perfectly adequate arm, IMO. He's just not played in the NFL very long and has to do better to eat the ball at times. Teams are going to use his smarts against him to bait him, he'll need to adjust.

Purdy is smart enough to adjust to the NFL adjusting to him. We're seeing the NFL figuring some things out about him, and I expect us to work with Brock to counter that stuff.

Yes I agree with those. You are right. He has shown a lot of good things. He will continue to do so too and improve.

I don't have high hopes for this year with Wilks at DC. I think he costs us our chance at a Super Bowl and gets fired. 2024-25 season IMO will be our last "strong" chance for a Super Bowl before we likely see significant turnover. I don't know if Trent comes back if we don't win a Super Bowl by next season.

Purdy was forced to come up with an almost impossible win in that game as a rookie. I guess the pressure was too much for a rookie in those situations especially against a Super Bowl contender powerhouse team like the Bengals. The defense was non existent last night and arguably I think the only positive thing last night was Brock. The Niners could have been shut down with no score last night if it was some other rookie QB. Brock showed a lot of different talent/skills last night and they were all under heavy pressure. Teams are putting extra effort and focus on Purdy now, we can see that. Purdy showed us he can play using his legs and honestly those plays reminded me of Steve Young back in the days and his throw coming from the right side of the field to Kittle who was at the left side of the field was a real beauty and he did that while he was sprinting too. I know that at the end of the day we still judge them by losing or winning but I'm confident we'll overcome this and we'll be a lot stronger by playoff time.

Simply put it was the 2nd straight week of what would be considered a Jeckyll/Hyde performance. He was the best player on our offense in both of the last two games through 3 quarters and had what were effectively meltdowns in the 4th. I'm personally not too worried about him individually, but we need our offense rolling especially with the state of the defense. We have much less margin for error right now.

The way Brock Purdy grabbed his head here, I strongly suspect he felt something.
Because it was the end of the game & they have a bye week, everyone will pretend nothing happened.
It was a terrible idea to play him 6 days after a #concussion. pic.twitter.com/Nz8JudCuR1

a couple pages late on this one, but it's the story that should be discussed a little more
another concussion and he may not have availability, even after a bye
I don't know if that's another concussion, could be him just reacting to what he can clearly see is an INT.. I don't know.
Hopefully we get some word from the team, when they are available..

Head snapped back and hit the ground pretty hard then he grabbed his head. I would be surprised if he doesn't at the least enter the concussion protocol again.

This season is turning into a slow motion trainwreck.
