QB Brock Purdy Thread

No. We like it crappy just as it is.

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.

Theres a distinct difference between "WTF was that Brock?" on a bad play, and nitpicking his entire game because you wanted to be right about Jimmy or Lance.

IDGAF who leads us there as long as we win a SB. Im a big time Lance supporter, but if Purdy is better I'm not going to be stubbornly married to the idea of Lance just because I bought a Lance jersey. May the best man be the future at QB.

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.

Please show me who said Purdy made zero mistakes. I missed it. Thanks.

Nobody has to say it directly. It's implied when people throw tantrums over it being pointed out that the interception was Purdy's fault or that poor ball placement lead to a lot of the "drops" yesterday.

But it's not. And anyone saying that BCB is perfect should be ignored for taking a silly and unsupported position. Just like one should ignore those who nitpick things that all starting QBs do.

i'm 52 and have been watching the Niners nearly every week since 1980. this drive reminded me of late 80s Montana to Rice. im not saying either player is on the same HoF career trajectory just that the drive just felt eerily familiar.

Lite is the key word. Just based off how this regime has moved. They don't just give up on starting QBs unless they get a draft haul. This is for all the trade Trey right now posters. We have 2 guys we like so we can keep both. I am not saying give both guys a yellow jacket but when you have 2 guys and one is leading in this instance Brock you can keep your 2nd guy too. Young was raw and undeveloped and so is Trey. Let him watch learn compete and push Brock and you keep them both because we see now we need multiple QBs in a season. Sean Payton just got through saying that 65 QBs have started games for teams this season. We have 2 of them in our long term plans and that is a good thing

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!

Imagine if we win next week and eagles lose - a rookie stepped in late in the season in a Super Bowl roster and didn't lose a regular season game and helped us get the 1 seed! Oh, and he has the most touchdowns erc for a rookie.

he should get offensive ROTY but I have a feeling he won't get it cause of the sample size.

I am pretty sure we are all in agreement that the INT pass was late and severely underthrown. As far as the drops, if it hits the receiver in the hands or chest/stomach than it is on the receiver. It may be credited as an incompletion. But in all fairness, QB's get credited for INT's that are caused by dropped/tipped passes even if the pass was perfectly placed.

I got your drift and agree about keeping both. I forgot where I heard, but only 11 teams have started one QB the entire 2022 season.

All starting QBs do the same things with only the frequency being different. That doesn't mean we can't discuss the things our starting QB does, good or bad. It's not nitpicking to point out Brock's declining QB rating, PFR rating him 45/48 amongst QBs with at least 50 throws in on target throw %, his low BTT to TWT ratio, etc. He's playing well relative to your typical 7th round rookie Mr. Irrelevant. Nobody disputes that. But I don't get why people are so hostile in regards to discussing things that he hasn't done well.

I think the GMFB crew or on Richard Sherman's podcast, it was mentioned that there have been 65 (?) or so starting QB's this season.
That seems like a really high number, considering all the emphasis on QB safety.

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.

"Possible upgrade" is one way of putting it lol. You and a few others are just addicted to negativity and spewing unwarranted hate under the guise of "criticism." There are plenty of posters that are able to criticize with some nuance that fosters actual communication, rather than the trolling/inciting that you, Ring, 49att, and a few others partake in.

The ignore feature sucks because it blocks comments made by people who aren't blocked, if they're quoted. So it's almost a useless feature. It would be much more simple if the few of you who enjoy trolling and inciting just went away. But you won't, so the rest of us will just keep calling you out. If you don't like it, oh well.

I just don't agree with you on the drops thing. It doesn't seem useful in the context of discussing Brock Purdy to say that if it touches the receivers hands then it should be caught, because that implies that the QB doesn't share some of the blame for not making it easier to catch. It was fair to criticize Trey last year for rocketing short passes, because even though they'd hit the receivers in the hands, it's still making things harder than they need to be.

All it took was 41 seconds. 3 connections with Aiyuk for Brock Purdy to lead the offense into field goal range . Here are the 3 throws .

He did this was ease . This is a rookie. Whos 4 games in. Not normal stuff here .#NFL #49ers #QB1 pic.twitter.com/II9GlWBXpB
