But... I think the only thing that will hold Purdy back is himself. He can do everything at least good enough. I haven't seen anything in his game yet where I could see an obvious area where he can struggle in.

He can't let his success get to his head and think he can take it a bit easier in the off-season, practice, preparation, those type of things.

The biggest knock I can give him right now is his size. He's gonna need to be able to protect himself, and it seems like he's already pretty good at that.

Imo, he's got the instics to play the position well, and his arm is fine enough to make the majority of the throws. No, he'll never be able to roll to his left and throw a 50 yard rope, but that just isn't that necessary.

Playoffs are gonna be a different animal though, more holding / pi is allowed, defenses will be better. If he shows that he can handle playoff football, you gotta roll with this kid as the starter next year.

The only real weakness so far is passing lanes and knock downs at the LOS. He sometimes has to to slide into a window to see/pass.

Tua Tagovailoa 27.9%

Jalen Hurts 24.5%
Joe Burrow 24.2%
Brock Purdy 23.8%
Justin Herbert 21.8%
Tom Brady 17.4%
Jim Garoppolo 16.7%

Where'd you get that stat? (I know I ask that frequently, but it's a good stat)

Pff has drop back splits for clean pocket, under pressure, blitzed and not blitzed. I simply took the number of 1st downs and divided by the number of drop backs from the under pressure category.

Ah. I really ought to start using their site. Mainly I don't like the layout and the fact that you have to create an account (this aggravates me, I can't explain). But that's a good source. I should stop being a player hater.

Haha. I am not a fan of their grading system but I like their collection of stats. Especially the ones that aren't available anywhere else. I do use pfr and espn and teamrankings as well. They all have something or another that I like.

He should be fine, he's 6'1", it isn't like he's too short.

Every QB who has ever played has a decent # of "almost picks". Mahomes had about 20 passes last year that were literally dropped picks or should have been picked.

The only way to avoid ints is take no chances ever and you won't win in the NFL that way.

I do agree Brock had a couple would be picks that he was fortunate didn't happen (bucs pick called back I penalty, Seahawks dropped pick) but again that is every QB ever and the one pick he did throw with Jennings shouldn't have been a pick

There was a crazy stat DL noted the other day...something like PFF charts the actual proximity of the DL near the QB when he throws and it shows our DL is way ahead of other teams. Meaning, QB's facing our DL are constantly under pressure. Crazy stat.

I believe it. Our d line may not have the most QB sacks collectively but I bet they lead the league in QB pressures. Look no further than the tampa game. We all know TB has the quickest TTT in the NFL and yet he was barely getting rid of the ball before the pass rush got him.

Turnover worth plays...that's a cool stat.

Since JG is a FA this year, does that mean this person is going to have to continue to keep drawing even after he leaves SF?
