He might not have a cannon, but it's plenty strong.

Ya I've seen enough of his arm now to say he can play at a high level with that arm.

As long as he keeps working on his ball placement, he can be a good QB.

He's got a good enough arm, sees the field well, can throw with anticipation, has more than enough athleticism, and most importantly he has a high football IQ.

From here on out its all up to Purdy to decide how hard does he want to work every offseason to get better.

Yeah, it's up to him - the skies the limit.

He's Chad Pennington.

Isn't that 45 air yards?

Ya that's exactly 45 yards.

Yes, and right on target

3rd round and later draft picks under Lynch and Shanahan--

2017: Kittle
2018: Warner
2019: Greenlaw
2020: no one, but Givens as a free agent rookie
2021: Hufanga, Mitchell and Jennings
2022: Purdy

It's not a bad thing.

Pretty sure they've had more late round picks than these.

They are better middle and especially late rounds. Not as good early. It's weird. But at least they get players somehow.

The comp is not even close if you're talking about arm strength and athleticism.

Honestly he reminds me of Drew Brees. Around 6'1" 212 lbs. Not the strongest arm in the world. But plenty strong enough. Great read and anticipation. Gets the ball out quick. Throws a very accurate ball. Can really place some dimes. Spins the ball beautifully too. Throws really tight spirals. I think he can make all the throws. That 45 yards in the air to Kittle was a perfect dime. It's more than enough arm strength and accuracy.

With more mobility. Like a poor man's Russell Wilson at QB. Not quite that mobile. But his 10 yard splits allow him to scramble for yards and buy time outside the pocket to extend the play.

1 and 2 are in danger of not getting their jobs back IMO.

Feeling like BCB after throwing a couple of TD to Kittle today. Merry Christmas y'all

Even if you have a preference for another QB (Lance or JG), it's still cool that we are probably getting to watch the greatest 5-6 game regular season stretch by a rookie QB - if he keeps winning and playing how he is.

This might be the best comparison to his actual style of play , yet. He plays like Bree's but has the moxie of Brady. Not a bad comparison.
