Young was terrorized for good reason. Dude was gifted the best rosters in the league, made a HUGE deal about getting the monkey off his back the year we arguably bought a title, then choked the next 8 years to Favre. I'm madder about us handing Dallas the title in '95 than I was '92 or '93.

I wasn't old enough to really watch any of those seasons but from what I've read and watched - young was the Peyton Manning of his day. Great in the regular season and had the best team - but was a different player in the playoffs. Not a bad player, just not the same.

That's 100% correct. '94 was the only post season that he put it all together.

I will not tolerate any shade being thrown at my QB.

Hearst doesn't get injured in 98 and we get #6.

What do you guys think: Was the INT the result of poor ball placement or lack of arm strength? Or both?

BTW Did you notice Kittle's facial expression after he was wide open (I think, it was in the 4th quarter) and Purdy didn't throw the pass to him because he threw it a little to early?

In my opinion, in plays like this you could see that Purdy was a tiny bit rattled because of all the pressure that the raiders D put on him. In some instances there was time enough to wait a little longer. Maybe that's part of Shanahans concept in this game to get rid of the ball quickly to avoid costly mistakes.

Don't get me wrong the kid played great. Especially when you consider he has only 4 NFL-starts under his belt.

Happy New Year to everyone!!!

I don't think the int was a result of ball placement or arm strength. It looked like he just made a bad read - it was his first real "rookie mistake", in my opinion. In college, you can get away with that throw, but in the pros the CBs bigger and faster.

I think he misdiagnosed how quickly that cornerback could get there and he should of threw it a little earlier.

This. I'm pretty sure Purdy was quoted as acknowledging he didn't even see #21 on the play. Had he seen the defender, I suspect his placement would have been different.

yep, true

Its a nonsense take. The 49ers in the 80s didn't have a salary cap to deal with. They had an owner willing to outspend everyone and thus they could afford backups better than quite few starters. In spite of that, they still blew quite a few winnable playoff games. In 1985, 86 and 87 they got bounced from the playoffs in just a single game, losing by double digits in all of those. Montana got worked over good by Parcells, Belichick and the Giants.

By the time Young took over, the cap was in place, the gap was greatly narrowed in terms of talent and you had a front office that began making a lot of questionable decisions that further stripped the team of talent.

By the time you got to 1995 and Shanahan was gone, you had no Ricky Watters and a completely one dimensional offense where Marc Trestman had to lean heavily on a short passing game because the RBs were awful and teams took advantage of that, playing the pass and daring the 49ers to run on them.

If anything, it's comparable to how badly the Packers have bungled and mismanaged the roster with Aaron Rodgers. The Packers of the mid to late 90s era were the opposite. They had a great offensive minded coach in Holmgren, a very good run game, a very talented defense led by Reggie White and LeRoy Butller. They were built to take out the 49ers and they did it successfully.

The only year after 1994 where the 49ers had a truly complete roster was 1998 and then Garrison Hearst blew out his knee on the first series of the NFCCG.

As I mentioned above, it was a mistake by Purdy for sure, but that was also a great heads up play by the raiders CB. That wasnt an easy catch either and he came down with him. Annoying but kudos to him. Lol

This is what Brock gives you, and what Kyle wanted out of Trey moving up to #3. Brock helluva bookend the Niner draft lol

It looked like that pass drifted to the right of where he wanted to throw it. Not every pass is thrown perfectly. Sometimes it comes out of the hand a little differently and doesn't have the same spin. When you throw that far the ball can easily be a little off target from where you intended to throw it.

On the other pass to Kittle near the sideline inside the 10 it looked like one of them was on the wrong page. Brock threw toward the sideline and Kittle turned inside. But he also had that nice pass to Kittle in the back of the end zone.

Brock started off kind of slowly and the Niners fell behind by 10 points in the 3rd quarter. He didn't show any panic at any time even after the 49ers got the lead and then lost it again. He showed he can rally the team when he needs to. He plays well down the stretch. His ability to get away from the pass rush showed up at least 3 times yesterday. I think JG would have been sacked at least twice if not more. I'm fine with Brock leading this team into the playoffs.

I think it's hilarious how sneaky elusive he is. Every time he does it, I get a little surprised cause I don't expect it. Haha

I'm so happy that we finally have a QB who's doing that consistently!! I remember Aaron Rodgers was elusive like that earlier in his career and it was so frustrating.

A lot of people focus on athleticism when talking about creating/extending/rescuing plays, but instincts and awareness is what really makes it all happen. Purdy had it in spades in college, and it's all translated directly to the NFL.

This kid is something else, man. What a crazy story. #THATSMYQUARTERBACK

highest passer rating in the nfl since he became a starter!

While I get it, this type of stuff has a high chance of getting him into trouble. Obviously extending plays can be a good thing but I'm not sure throwing against the body into tight coverage is ideal

I REALLY like how he fakes defenders out and spins around in the pocket like russell wilson

Amazing. This young man is easy to root for. I can't say for sure he is our future. But as of right now, it's easy to believe he just might be. Keep it Going Brock!! I'm definitely pulling for you.

The other side of that coin is someone that can only make plays under the best of circumstances.

Yeah Purdy's style of play will get him in trouble at times but it is what will allow him to make plays when everything breaks down.

People wanted a guy who can create off schedule, that is what Purdy is. With that style of play will come more turnovers from time to time.

Yes clearly a mistake by Purdy. I am a little disappointed that Kittle wasn't stronger on that play. I think when it is a jump ball like this and you have a star physical TE, it should either be a completion or at worse an incompletion. You don't let the defender int that throw.
