QB Brock Purdy Thread

For years, it was the same with Jimmy. He was perfect and you'd be called a hater for even suggesting he ever did anything wrong. Then a 7th round rookie came in and the offense looked way better leading to everyone collectively realizing that Jimmy was actually kind of s**t this entire time and that he was holding us back. Now we're repeating the cycle and now Purdy can't be criticized in any way even when we all agree that he's overall playing well.

So you admit that you're arguing just for the sake of argument? There's no reason to criticize Brock Purdy. We've lost our top TWO QB's this year, so somehow our rookie 3rd stringer is playing better than our first two guys did and keeping us relevant as SB contenders.

Purdy has been fantastic. He's doing things that only Dan Marino and Kurt Warner did to start a career. Just because people were excited about Garoppolo to start and he didn't pan out doesn't mean being excited about Purdy will lead to more disappointment. Its pretty obvious that Purdy has intangible elements to his game that we haven't seen in a QB in years. It's different than the other guys we've gotten excited about in the past. Purdy actually pump faked a guy open for a TD a couple weeks ago. Its been 20 years since we've seen that.

He also was 50% on 3rd down with a TD. We had 12 total drives and only faced 8 3rd down situations. We were Purdy damn efficient on 1st and 2nd down.

There's no reason to adjust for dropped passes since few of them were on accurate throws. People were calling that throw to Jennings a drop, but Purdy under threw it by a good 10 yards allowing the DB to break it up. Should not be considered a drop.

LMAO utterly ridiculous take,you couldn't be anymore transparent.

Transparent that the QB shouldn't be let off the hook for drops that are a result of poor ball placement? We don't need to make excuses for Purdy on those plays. I doubt he would blame the WR for them.

Since he took over, Purdy is 5-0 with a 67.4 comp.%, 1130 yds, 10 TD, 3 INT, and an 8.01 Y/A. As a 7th round rookie who started the season as the 3rd stringer.

Shut up.

You can say whatever you want, just don't get upset when the majority of posters call your posts ridiculous, which they are.

Serious question though, is there any Niners player that you DO like?

But its not about simple criticism you have a clear cut anti Purdy agenda that everyone can see you know exactly what your doing.

Purdy is QB1. His story and his proficiency are great. But he also showed why he's going to have to earn the job over and over. There were a few plays that Lance has hit. But there's also plays that neither Jimmy or Trey hasn't done.

I believed Jimmy wasn't good enough to win it all, still do. I haven't seen enough from Lance to make a determination. But I think as currently constructed, this team can make the SB. I'm still skeptical of this team vs KC, BUF, or CIN, but ultimately we'll only have to beat one of them.

Please don't say stuff like that,....I start to have flashbacks. Criticism is just fine,...defeat it with good counterpoints or just ignore.

people finally waking up to Ring's bs warms my heart.

Repeatedly misrepresenting other posters and making divisive posts with a clear agenda are typically considered "inciting," which is not tolerated by many online communities. I wonder if this forum will ever take action to improve the quality of its community.

If the criticisms are unwarranted and ridiculous as they have been, then "good counterpoints" aren't needed.

let's enjoy this amazing season now and worry about next year then.

If Brock wins it all there will be nothing left to prove or worry about

Why are even talking about that hypothetical with at least 4 playoff games to go? It's not that much different than "what if Jimmy wins MVP" talk from last year or the "what if Jimmy wins the Super Bowl" talk from this and last year.

Yeah. This is why I don't get so high-strung about these debates anymore... It's fun to talk about, but it gets too heated sometimes.

The cool thing about Brock Purdy's current run is that we get to see what he can and can't do.
One of the sad parts about Trey Lance's injury at the beginning of the year (aside from the obvious sadness of a young player and our QB1 suffering a season-ending injury) is that we were going to have to wait another year to figure out whether Trey could be The Guy or not.

For Brock Purdy, by the end of the year he will have at least 7+ games for us to examine and really look at in determining his value as a QB.

This is Brock's team unless proven otherwise.

Brock Purdy's efficiency stats over the last 5 games.

Overall- 67.4% completion, 8.0 YPA, 7.1 TD %, 2.1 INT % and a 38.3 1st down %.

3rd Down- 72.5% completion, 6.8 YPA, 10.0 TD %, 2.5 INT % and a 42.5 1st down %.

Redzone- 66.7% completion, 3.83 YPA, 33.3 TD %, 0 INT % and a 50.0 1st down %.

it's fair to say brock has flaws and be critical. its also fair to say that he has played the best ball of any of our qbs this year. its also fair to say trey could still be qb1 next year. its also fair to say brock could be the next great niner qb. Also fair to say neither guy is the future

Nothing is certain, other than Jimmy has took his last snap as a 49er

Stevie Wonder can see your agenda from a mile away.

Seriously what's his deal? Is he a Trey-only supporter or just wants to see the world burn? Lol

Remember when you spent 2 months straight spending hours every day complaining about the slightest wobble in Trey's passes? You should really be quiet about any QB criticism.

You guys LOVE to hang onto that one. It was the off season with not much to talk about. I was firmly on the Trey wagon by the time the season started and he proved the wobble didn't matter. I blame Kyle for his injuries, not him. That said, he's light years behind Purdy and even Jimmy.

But this is the Purdy thread so let's get back on topic. He's leading the league in passer rating since taking over and passes any/all "eye tests." What is the purpose of your nonstop negativity? If you just want to cheerlead for Trey, go do that in his thread. But no, here you are in the Purdy thread making nonsensical criticisms just like you did with Jimmy, just to prop up "your guy." I'm assuming anyway, nothing else makes any sense.

Of course it's going to get brought back up because it was egregious in the same way that a lot of Trey criticism has been egregious.

That said, how am I propping up my guy by pointing out areas where Purdy hasn't been perfect? Purdy is MY guy. I was on the "Purdy should be the #2" bandwagon during the preseason and people got mad when I recognized that he was better than Jimmy back in October. It's funny to see that some of those same people who were critical of that take back then are now mad that not everyone is in lockstep in regards to the consensus that Purdy has made zero mistakes.

Based on what happened this past offseason, even that's not certain, LOL. (VEERRRRRY unlikely though).
