QB Brock Purdy Thread

No he is Brock Purdy. Put some respect on his name

It's funny reading the first 25 pages. Some posters obviously saw this potential then you have others who basically have no clue and we're saying he would never be anything.

It was fairly obvious after a few preseason games he could be this good. He flashed potential, it was just a question if he could clean up the risky interceptions and throws over the middle and speed up his release time.

There is pretty much no chance lance gets his job back. The gap in football iq is too great. Brock's reaction time and movement in the pocket is way better.

Lance is 2-3 years behind at least. If we didn't have Brock you could spend time developing lance but since we do he never will get the chance.

Also I think Brady increased his arm strength after starting out not as strong, so its possible that Purdy can build up his arm strength a little bit more. Currently he is good enough to make all the throws we need him to. He doesn't need to throw it 60+ yards down the field.

Yeah, Purdy is 22 years old. He can absolutely increase him arm strength through strength training and mechanical refinement. That said, I don't think he has issues throwing it 60 yards down the field right now if he's got a clean pocket to step into. The arm strength questions are really about the drive throws ie throws to outside the numbers from the far, opposite hash. He can definitely improve those, but he'll likely never be throwing those on a rope. He's got to learn to survive with timing, anticipation and ball placement on those throws.

The real difference between QBs that have a really strong arm and all the rest isn't in the drop back and throw plays. Almost any QB in the league can throw at least 50 yards in the air. The arm strength shows up when the QB is rolling out or escaping the rush and is able to throw it 20-30 yards on a rope between 2 defenders without stopping to set his feet. Only a handful of guys can do that. Allen, Herbert and Mahomes come to mind right away.

Wasting draft picks on such a raw prospect when we have a super bowl ready Defense was a blunder.

Imagine this kid developing into more than a flash in the pan, or even win the SB this season, probably one of the wildest stories in NFL history

Well John Lynch's draft history with first rounders have been blunders anyway, only one proving somewhat worthy is Aiyuk. Just trade them away for seasoned commodities

Truer words have never spoken. Been saying this since before we drafted Lance.

Yup. I get the feeling he is more involved in the higher round picks and defers to scouts for the later rounds.

No. In 2020 we did not have a SB defense. Enough of the revisionist history.

Many are saying "Brock isn't leading the team" - he is just distributing to talent. MAYBE

BUT, if a guy keeps "distributing the ball right" (check), not flinching under pressure (check), not making bonehead panic mistakes (check so far), playing tough taking hits to make plays (check), and making plays off schedule with his mobility (check) -- I can guarantee pretty soon the team is believing in and following THAT GUY.

ok - another solid performance. Guys are excited to play with him.

What would give me a lot more optimism / confidence now is to see him play from behind. See him play a 2 minute drill. Well really, that is see how he AND Shanahan play from behind with him at QB. Some guys rise to the occassion and their play seems to get even just a bit better, and they somehow see the "dagger" plays and make them to put the other team away. Some guys get tight, and start pressing into the wrong decisions, and make things worse. If he just played about the level and with the moxie he has shown now from behind or in a 4th quarter drive - I'd be more confident he is the real deal and this team is playoffs ready / dangerous.

The coaching staff may want to start playing some 2 minute drills even if not needed to prep him and see him in that situation in these last 2 games.

My suspicion - he'll flourish. He seems to really do well when his is in command of the offense, pressing the defense with quicker play, making good fast decisions.

I'm with you on this take, they way he always seems composed has me thinking he'll do well when having to comeback from a deficit with time running out, but who knows. I too hope they are going over and over again 2min drills.

With limited practice time I think you go over the other 58 minutes as much as possible.

With this defense and all the offensive weapons, if you are behind with two minutes left you are doing it wrong.

You also said we should fire Shanahan so…

He also won't give Shanny any credit for Purdy either.

Post #57 by RunFrankieRun21. Rookie is trolling in the wrong thread. Must be a Lynch first rounder.

We wouldn't have a Super Bowl defense this season either if Bosa had a torn ACL and we were dealing with a litany of other injuries.

It's been a Super Bowl caliber roster since 2019.
