I don't know if it's been brought up, but remember that pick vs the Bucs that was called back? The Seahawks tried that same zone blitz, Purdy read it, moved off that read to throw it to GK for his second TD. Go replay it on prime it's at the start of the second half.
Is he the best QB drafted in the past 2 years? So glad we got him.

I could be wrong but I read something somewhere that he threw a ball 68 yards in the air in college in a game. If I find it I will post it.
Definitely not 68 yards in the air, but he did have a 68 yard TD against WVU:
(at 1:01)

I think this was probably his best 'arm strength' throw:

He does not have great arm strength for the NFL level. Arm strength is a luxury though. If you meet the baseline requirement so to speak, accuracy is much more important.

I would pack up jimmy's locker and mail the contents. We don't need him or want him back. I will never forgive or forget all of the post season games we lost because of his limitations
Originally posted by dj43:one thing, Jimmy played better than the QBs ahead of him in the begining. 2nd he's only played 3 games, 3rd it's the playoffs which can turn men into mice
If we look back at the Super Bowl against KC and the NFCCG against the Rams, we were just a play or two away from wins in both of those...and that was with Garoppolo.
Now we are seeing a more mobile QB in Purdy, who reads the defense quicker and throws at least as well as Jimmy if not better. Why should we not think we will do just a little better with Purdy?
Get out of here with this nonsense. We had the top third down offense in the league in 2019 and Jimmy has been amazing on 3rd down since he's been here.

There was a stat brought up earlier this season that showed the 49ers offense was the best in the league on 3rd and 6+ over the last 5 years. That was even with Beathard, Mullens and Hoyer playing half of those games. This year Jimmy was the best in the NFC on converting 3rd down. With Purdy at QB, our 3rd down production has not missed a beat. Not to take anything away from Jimmy but it has not just been a Jimmy stat under the Shanahan era.
Brock Purdy is ranked 4th in the NFC and 7th in the NFL in converting on 3rd down. He has 14 1st downs on 30 attempts or a 46.7% conversion rate.

I still can't get over how freaking good and clutch Brock has been. Love this kid
the 3rd down running pickup and getting down while extending the ball showed me everything I need for football intelligence. His eyes show he's calm and collected. And him delivering while getting rocked tells me he can play in then league. And his 70% completion is great.
That slide was class
Jimmy doesnt make that slide.

He's constantly looking for the kill shot. He plays with an aggressive mindset where he'll take the 5 to 10 yard gain but he really wants the 30 yard gain and he'll exhaust that before he settles for less. I think that mentality has endeared him to Kyle because for all the good stuff he's done, Garoppolo just isn't that guy.

Iowa State was his college, but he is from Arizona—you know, where the Super Bowl will be held in less than 2 months…🍿
