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

Hahaha that isn't certain yet! Purdy could go down in the playoffs and he may get a few more snaps! Hope not, but never know!

Don't tempt fate like that. Just like everyone here I'm hopeful that we'll never have to suffer another snap of Jimmy under center, but stranger things have happened.

I've seen enough of Purdy to feel comfortable that if the Niners don't get to the SB it won't be his fault. He make a mistake or two but he makes enough plays with his feet and his eyes downfield that he makes up for any errors.

BCB!

To me, Brock's story is as intriguing as grocery checker Kurt Warner's was. Here's hoping for a similar fairy tale ending this season.

Brock Purdy and Jimmy G

Damn, they even have the same numbers

That's not Trent Green though. The Rams switch ched to gold in 2000, when Green was already gone, and they didn't have the jerseys without the gold stripe up the side until maybe 2003 or 2004. So that's certainly Mark Bulger.

Those unis are so much better looking than current Ram kits. Their current stuff looks like Nickelodeon creations.

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.

He didn't even start off slowly. He led two TD drives in his first two possessions which were run heavy so his numbers were down. The third drive backed up in his own end zone was stalled by Williams' holding penalty, then Purdy made a strong play to avoid a sack with an incompletion. That was his entire first half opportunities.

If you adjust for the dropped passes, Purdy would have completed 71.4% of his passes. He also had a 1st down rate of 42.9% which was his best yet and is well above league average. 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.

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.

It was a two week span in the off season, and I wasn't even claiming that it WOULD be a detriment. I said it could. It was something to talk about when we didn't have any games to discuss. That is in no way, shape or form comparable to your season-long pursuit to disparage Jimmy and now Brock, during some of the best QB play we've seen in 20 years.

Not one person has said that Purdy has made zero mistakes.

The intangibles that Purdy brings to the games….I didn't see them from the veteran Garoppolo even with all those years of experience, and I didn't see them most especially from Lance, obviously, we all can agree he's very raw at this point. Then my next point is he was drafted last, like he almost became an undrafted free agent. So to get what we've been getting from him at this point is more than enough what we could ask for. To overcome all the obstacles in front of him being an underdog, under drafted, underrated, underestimated, a lot of people (fans and sports writers alike)are declaring him as the no.1 rookie right now. And you know what best part is, he's in our team!

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

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

Commentary arent needed on them then, no matter the angle of wobble of the point. Just skip it and carry on but cut out the "hush movement",....just given some of the stuff you've gotten away with saying here in the past.

Whenever I commented on a possible upgrade @ our QB position and you wanted me hushed forever on here,...but here we are with the last pick of this year's NFL draft and seeing it front and center. Go figure?

Nothing @ all wrong with ignoring folks you cant engage civilly with. Let them share their opinion.

When have I ever disparaged Jimmy? I'm one of Jimmy's biggest fans, but I could recognize the flaws in his game. Purdy is better than him, obviously, we all recognize that, but Purdy has flaws too and I don't see the harm in discussing those in the same way I didn't see the harm in discussing Jimmy's.

That's not the same as a lot of the ongoing criticism of Trey which only seems to be based in something that goes beyond anything to do with football. People get madder about someone pointing out that Purdy had two turnover worthy plays on the last drive yesterday than they do about SanDiego49er going into the Trey thread randomly at 2 AM to call him a "trash thug" a week after his injury. That kind of "criticism" was even more common during TC and your nonstop focus on something largely meaningless like wobble only added to it. Couldn't even post one clip of Trey throwing the ball without several pages of wobble discussion whether any passes wobbled or not.

lol how can you justify any criticism of Purdy thus far? Obviously I'm not saying he can't EVER be criticized in the future, but with everything he's done so far, its impossible to be critical. He's a 3rd string 7th round rookie QB playing better than most teams' veteran starters.

The criticism of Purdy comes in when you talk about him as a FQB, and he's doing great overall. For his rookie mr. Irrelevant status, is unprecedented and obviously shouldn't be criticized.

We may have our Montana and Steve Young lite on this squad. If Purdy keeps going and wins it all this allows us to further develop both guys and allow them to push one another and being that Purdy is more ready to start than Trey is it would seem then he may end up the leader until Walsh deems Young Trey is ready to take over for Montana. Trey could end up having to wait like Young and Rodgers did but in the meantime I say let them push one another and let us keep this good thing going!

He's not perfect. You can be happy as hell your team drafted a guy and criticize him @ the same time.

I cheer during games. After games I dont mind a little constructive criticism.

Have you ever seen the criticism our HC -- the orchestrator of all of this -- gets? It's pretty comical but no one really gets overly-emotional about it. I and others just kinda joke about it and laugh it off.

Why do posters feel certain players should be embalmed and kept away from criticism? It's just fine if you're not just repeating the same line over and over again every page.
