this is a golden opportunity for brock

I'm so impressed by his pocket awareness. It's one of those intangibles you either have or you don't. He's got great short area quickness and seems to make plays when scrambling. Today he maybe was a little quick to exit the pocket a time or two, but generally speaking he's been the best 9er QB since Garcia in pocket awareness and the ability to escape and make a play. That's pretty incredible for a rookie seventh rounder.

His escapability is going to result in a big play at some point. Being able to avoid a free rusher makes near sacks into a mere incompletion.

Overall not his best game. But he put up over 30 points. If they lost this game, its 100% the defenses fault

Fun Fact: Interestingly, Brock averages a consistent 2 Passing TDs per game. He's thrown 2 TDs in every game he's played extensively in.

Jimmy's 1.5 TDs per start this year. 1.33 last year, 1.69 in 2019, 1.4 in 2017, etc.

It ok to compliment one player without tearing down an other player.

Although I agree with your statement, I don't think this is a good example of one tearing down another player.

Agree with Afrikan. Noting how well Brock is doing in one aspect of QBing in relation to how Jimmy did isn't "tearing another player (Jimmy) down."

The fact that anyone interprets it that way is the issue, not the post.

I remember when Harbaugh refused to comment on any two players in the same breath for this reason.

The statement as it stands, does look like that. If he had added Lance to the equation or left Jimmy out of it, I'd see it differently.

I liked Purdy's ability to stay calm and collected in crunch time. It's something he hasn't had the opportunity to showcase yet, and he definitely passed the test.

On the flipside, he had a bunch of things today that I did not like. He predetermined a lot of throws today, and subsequently missed bigger plays. He was also very inaccurate on multiple deep shots, which we haven't really seen. He also moved to his 2nd and 3rd reads just as his previous read was breaking wide open.

Every one of those complaints are things Jimmy did regularly and Brock did today. While today was the first time I had any of those issues with Brock, I can only hope it was a one off thing and not something we have to worry about moving forward.

Overall, happy with the win and Brock's play in crunch time. But a lot of the game I was getting Jimmy vibes, and that's not a good thing.

I agree with a lot of what is said here, but your last statement really weakens your credibility on your previous post. ;)

Can't disagree with any of this. He's gotten a little worse each game. The numbers, particularly QB rating, show this, but it's pretty evident just from the eye test as well. If he keeps declining each game, it won't be long before it's basically like having Jimmy out there, which is not a good thing whenever it's the playoffs.

Worse each game? Lol all based off of the QBR? I'm not saying he doesn't have things he needs to get better at but I don't think he's declined at all every game.

he just won a shootout on the road with the second seed on the line. If this is as bad as Purdy is. - then wow! We are in for a great ride.

you can't expect to blow out everyone - which is what we've done for most of his starts. So you're not going to get those beautiful stats every game, hell most games you won't.
