Whole forum should block you for that so you can say this bs to yourself.

Your terrible Lance takes and Jimmy lover comments now all make complete sense.

You sound cranky, take a break. In the future, either respond civilly, ignore the post or hide the user and move on.

That's not the point. The point is Brock threw an oh no Jimmy pick there and also vs Tampa. In my mind he has 6TDs and 3INTs his first 3 games, which is still excellent for a 7th round rookie QB not to mention he looks for and wants the big play first then checks down.

If he consistently makes big plays you can live with a Jimmy pick in a game. Prob with Jimmy is he didn't offset his wtf INTs with explosive game-changing plays.

Well the one interception he did throw was a 4th down punt that Howard should've just batted down, and Aiyuk dropped a crucial red zone 1st down that Purdy perfectly placed. So to me, he has 7 TD's and 0 INT's!

((We can play this game both ways, is my point))

Right lol? And we have zero clue with what Lance or Brock will be long term

The one thing we can clearly see with Purdy is his excellent processing speed. The group he worked with in the offseason tested him on that and said he was top of the chart. Now we are seeing that in game situations. He is reading post-snap very well and hitting receivers on time and in rhythm. So, that is a very good place to start in long-range planning.

Kittle was saying post game that he and other players could see the confidence and ability of Purdy from training camp and forward. He was the team's best kept secret.

He is a once in a generation player and we got him for a bargain. Trey on the other hand is a work in progress who may or may not develop into a good QB.

Barring injury, Purdy will. He is already there hitting the ground running and scoring wins in the first three games he played. Trey on the other hand has not shown he is a winner.

It is difficult for some people to move on from a narrative they have accepted in their mind when someone comes along who blows their pet QB out of the water. But it is what it is. Some people do not recognize talent straight away and it will take some time to convince them. The 49ers will move on from Trey if Purdy wins the SB and find a cheaper option in the draft for backup.

We are all pulling for Purdy and the team to win it all, but watching this many people trip over themselves rushing to a conclusion to what Trey or Brock will be long term is silly. At least with Jimmy we have a substantial sample size to definitively say who he is as a QB. The interception Brock threw vs TB that was negated by a flag would not have made much difference in that game, but had the one he threw last night stood, it would have changed the entire composition of the game, and possibly cost us the W. That s**t needs to be cleaned up STAT. We also have yet to see how he responds to being down in the game. Again, with Jimmy we already know that when the team falls behind he is not likely to lead a comeback. If Brock can, that will be another stripe he will earn. It anointing him the chosen one after 3 games? I'm not there yet.

Purdy has a winning mentality. He has demonstrated he can evade defenders inside and outside of the pocket by being Mr Slippery. He can also throw on the run and pull off unscheduled plays. They are all the tools and characteristics that QBs who can come from behind have. On the other hand Lance has shown us that all he can beat is low ranking teams and can't win in the wet. There were a lot of his passes bouncing off the ground in front of their target in the first game this year.

Tell me you didn't read a word I wrote without saying it.

They're the first team in NFL history to go undefeated with no picks or fumbles by their starting QBs over a 7-game span.

Hope it doesn't come in bunches in the playoffs

Yeah, I don't think that's a fair assessment because you can do that with literally any team and any player. Maybe not as egregious as the almost pick Purdy had - but every team has lucky plays. Luck is a big part of a championship in football.

That was addressed by other posters as well as me. We can sit here counting all the almost intercepts and all the almost touchdowns. Neither are counted because they did not happen and the fact they did not happen mainly comes down to luck.

With that said he is still a rookie and he will be making some dumb mistakes. That comes with the territory. Stats show that even Brady, Montana and Young had higher intercepts in their early years compared to their later years. Same with JG this year with his lower number of intercept then before. If Lance was in there would also be too many intercepts and turnovers. This is a natural growing pain. So, so what?

How does his arm strength compare to Gardner Minshew and Nick Mullens? Based on what I've read, both Minshew/Mullens started off hot but arm strength turned out to be their downfall once defenses got more used to them.

I don't know how accurate or biased, his throwing coach said he was at around 51 mph, but after pre-draft work he reached 56 mph in Pro day.

Here is the comparison to other QBs:
https://www.ourlads.com/story/default/Quarterback-Ball-Velocity-at-NFL-Combine-2008-2017/10243/dh/
Justin Herbert Oregon 55
Jordan Love Utah State 54
Jalen Hurts Oklahoma 54
Gardner Minshew Washington State 55
Daniel Jones Duke 54
Lamar Jackson Louisville 49
Patrick Mahomes Texas Tech 55
Deshaun Watson Clemson 45
Dak Prescott, Mississippi State 54
Jimmy Garoppolo, Eastern Illinois 56

Maybe it's just me - but one of my favorite things about Brock is that when we are on offense, it feels like our offense is hell bent on scoring. This sense aggressiveness.

Encouraging, but there is no way Watson is that much weaker than all these other QB's and that Jimmy AND Purdy are the strongest of the bunch lol. I guess there's no efficient way to really compare arm strength other than eye test.

Pity Kaep isn't on that list. I bet he would have been at 167 mph with some of the missiles he threw, though not many receivers could catch them

The confidence is the biggest upgrade. Jimmy was cool no matter what, but Brock looks like he's going to score at all times and he's not scared to throw on the run or hang in the pocket and get wrecked if he thinks his receiver will come open

I think he was on the list. You have to click on the link. I selected a few names.
