QB Brock Purdy Thread

Steve Young use to complain about passing lanes when his OLINE did not get the hands of the DL down.

Probably diverting blame from his 6-2 height compared to prototypical 6-4 or 6-5 guys.

Brock is even smaller, so lets hope we don't see more of that, but on the flip side if the DL is trying to get their hands up that will slow down the pass rush.

I think it is clear that the offense can be more explosive with Purdy, wonder if the training wheels will come off and Purdy will get more chances to attack the defense.

There were three plays that he made that will not show up in the stat line but all three showed exceptional awareness as well as athletic ability.

The most impressive was his 360-degree throw-away. He showed good speed initially, then a little stutter step to buy time, and then the spin and awareness of where to throw it. If I tried to spin around like that I would be lucky to stay standing up much less throw it away.

The second was the scramble where he went out of bounds for a short sack rather than throwing it away. It was great because he recognized there were linemen downfield and a throwaway would have resulted in a penalty.

The third was toward the end of the game where he chose to take a sack rather than a risky throw to JJ who was open on the sideline.

That is good QB stuff right there.

Love the win but folks are easily forgetting Trey is QB1. There is no controversy.

The only controversy are those developed in this forum.

But fun XMAS win. Improved nicely in the second half.

Imagine going back in time and telling Brock Purdy's dad that the baby he is holding in this picture would one day join Dan Marino as the only other QB since 1950 to record at least two touchdown passes and a passer rating of 100+ in each of their first three starts in the NFL pic.twitter.com/4MtbKpKuVY

History.

What the what. Let's be very clear here.

Jimmy doesn't escape a collapsing pocket and look downfield for open receivers like BCB. Jimmy doesn't have the legs to move up or around defenders looking to sack him. Jimmy doesn't scare defenses bc he's not as multi-dimensional as BCB.

There's a reason why Aiyuk and Kittle are putting up better numbers with BCB at QB. Because he can AND will take those shots downfield.

For those pro Jimmy, go back and look at the tape in the NFCCG. Go back and look how many times Kittle and Aiyuk were streaking up the sidelines wide ass open and Jimmy G never looked their way. Aiyuk was dejected AF for being so open and Jimmy not going his way. Ever. That's what you guys yearn for? Get real. We finally have a QB that can run the offense that Shanny wants to run. Enjoy the damn ride.

Best thing about him is that he throws to the open man. Seems simple, but we haven't had that since, god, Jeff Garcia?

Unless Purdy suddenly implodes, there damn well will be a competition next year in the least. You can bet your last dime on that.

Kdog nailed it. 100% this. Brock's floor is higher the jimmy's ceiling. Truth.

This was the kind of s**t that made me obsessed with Mahomes when he was in college.

I say it on here often. If you're 30-35 and under - you've never seen the niners really be good unless you started watching football at like 3-6 years old.

In our generation, niners have been a laughing stock of the NFL for a majority of that time. I didn't see my first 49ers playoff win until 2011 season (early 2012).

its been so many decades since we've won anything besides second place.

It took 32 seasons for the 49ers to win their first NFL title. Then they won 5 in 14 years and were in the playoffs nearly every year. Ten win seasons were expected. Now it's been 27 years (counting this season) since the last title. It's time guys!
