QB Brock Purdy Thread

I noticed that hwn they were showing the leading passers from today that Brock was the only one at who didn't have an INT. He had the third most passing yards entering the afternoon games.

Yeah I sorta had a flashback at that moment.

More of this ridiculous revisionist history where fans pretend Jeff Garcia was a great QB.

Garcia couldn't carry Jimmy's jock strap. Worst mechanics in NFL history. Franchise record low yards per completion in 2002 (10.2) and was voted a "Pro Bowler" that year.

Good backup, not a starter, carried by the system. He's what people mistakenly think Jimmy was.

Brock's averaging 3 full yards per attempt higher than Garcia did in his 2002 "Pro Bowl" season.

Lol I like Garcia..I think he was a good qb..but if I am very honest..I do think he is just slightly overrated. Please don't hate me 🙏..or you can I guess lol

One of those interceptions against the Vikings was inaccurate as hell. That is NOT Brock's normal MO. He's generally pretty accurate and ELITE accurate on medium range passes.

This one, for example.



Also to the ridiculous fan boy NoDerpBallSteveYoung who responded to me, this is an errant throw on a play where the guy was open. Fan boys… smh they live in a fantasy world. (Is this Jimmy's racism cousin who claimed Steve had the weakest arm in NFL history?)

Jennings ran the wrong route on that play. Watch JD's film review.

That's making assumptions about the play that not even JD can know for sure.

The most ridiculous part about you is that you're so clueless, yet you post with this pretense of being knowledgeable and reasonable.

The whole world knew that Brock played poorly those three games, and only racist fan boys like you think otherwise. He built up a lot of capital to get the benefit of the doubt, which is what he has with me. But I'm not going to turn a blind eye when he throws FOUR count em FOUR clutch interceptions in two games. I don't hide from reality, unlike you. He did not play well those games. But he gets the benefit of the doubt because he played like a top 10 QB all the other games.

You couldn't be further from the truth with your QB analyses. You think Trey Lance was good,

And here you prove how utterly illiterate you are. I never thought Lance was good. I thought he had potential to BE good, over enough time, but I'm the guy who said, repeatedly, HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY QUARTERBACK AND HE CAN'T PASS THE DAMNED BALL. I said that. Over and over again. What I argued in his defense is that (a) he has the character to improve his passing (which he did, this off-season), and he has the intelligence and character to learn how to play QB (which he has not done yet).

attempt to nitpick at every apparent Brock mistake

I am the one who said Brock is like Patrick Mahomes in the 12 yard window, AGAIN AND AGAIN. As I said, you lack reading comprehension, or you make ASSumptions about people because you're a fan boy. I've repeatedly said Brock is better than your cousin and/or sexual fantasy Jimmy G. And I've repeatedly said he is a baller who is a lot like Mahomes in that 12-15 yard window.

as if it proves he's not good enough, whereas apparently Lance is absolutely perfect, pretend that Steve Young and Joe Montana were deep ball merchants with strong arms, etc.

This is the most asinine thing you've said, other than Steve Young had the weakest arm in NFL history. Over and over I said Lance can't even pass the damned ball. How is that "Lance is absolutely perfect."

And I showed your racist ass Steve dropping deep dimes in our PM argument. And Joe did it too. Neither one of those, and neither does Brock or Jimmy for that matter, have weak arms. Which I attempted numerous times to explain to your slow ass in our PM arguments. Jimmy's problem wasn't ARM STRENGTH, it was MECHANICS on deep passes.

MODS: What are you doing? Why do you keep letting this guy make accounts? IP ban his ass already.

Look I'm not gonna argue numbers and stats because I'm lazy and don't feel like looking them up. Jeff Garcia was a baller. IIRC he had a couple 30+ TD seasons, a few playoff appearances. He was a very good STARTER for us. He even took the eagles to the playoffs. How do you not remember how good he was? If Garcia was our QB in 2019 at his prime, we win that SB imo. And I always defend and like Jimmy, but Garcia was a little better imo.

lol look at Kyle. The love and hate -- all bunched up 😆

I think Jeff and Jimmy are the same tier, with Kap and Alex the next tier below

He doesnt have to be top 10. As long as he doesnt cave when his team is up by 10. Thats the difference between Jimmy and Brock. Sure, the jury's out whether Purdy can be ELITE and lead the team in comebacks and from under pressure situations, but what he HAS proven is that he doesnt cave when the team is up big. In other words, put him in that 4th quarter vs the Chiefs or Rams....i doubt he goes on an epic meltdown and costs this team a chance at glory.

And for that reason alone, he's already a HUGE upgrade over JimmyG.

National media is saying he is back to being one of the best in the league. It takes a lot for the East Coast media to say stuff like that.

Brock Favre. Can't denied that looks a lot like The Catch with 2 defenders on him, and still finding Aiyuk in the back of the endzone.

Would take Jeff over Jim for sure

best in the nfl baby

76.2

I would take Jeff over Jim
Alex over Kap
Purdy over all of them any day.

Alex and Kap over Jimmy too. If you pair Shaun Hill with Kyle Shanahan he's probably better than Jimmy too.

I'd put Alex on the Garcia/JG tier. Dude was screwed with the HC's and OC's he had, but when he was playing under competent coaching he was every bit as good as those 2. Kap was great before there was film on him, the fact he couldn't process led to his demise.

edit: Any Reid gave us 2 second round picks for Smith and he played great there. No team in history would have given that for Kap or JG for that matter.
