Next year is going to be awesome having Purdy as QB1 and Trey as the best backup in the league. If somehow Trey is able to unseat Trey then we'll still have the best backup in the league. And we'll have freed up a ton of money to re-sign Bosa and others.

In the meantime, we're witnessing a great stretch of QB play from Jimmy and now even better from Purdy. There is absolutely no doubt that Purdy has what it takes to win us #6. Yet some want to obsess over who's at fault for dropped balls and INT's in an epic come from behind win. Lol

It's been a great season, especially given the adversity we've faced at the QB position with injuries. We've been able to successfully navigate two serious injuries at QB, put our team in position to compete for a Super Bowl right now, and given ourselves another potential longterm option/ insurance policy at QB at a fraction of the cost of the Jimmy G security blanket (which we were likely losing at the end of this season). Incredibly fortunate turn of events in what would otherwise be a nightmare scenario.

Agree with all except I think Purdy is the real deal and is our next great franchise QB.

It's kind of funny though.. If you think about it. His worst start so far is one where, although he missed several guys and threw a pick, he still made some huge precision throws, scrambled out of pressure numerous times (he was pressured a lot), brought the team back from behind, drove the team down with just a minute left for a game winning field goal attempt, and ultimately won in a shootout where we almost put up 40 points -- something we rarely did these past few years.

And he's a seventh round rookie? Dang.

Is this a guy you can figure out? It seems like so far, the best you can do is hope to get pressure, which affects any QB, or bat balls down. He just seems to deliver in every other facet so far.

Pocket elusiveness/mobility
Quick release
Cool under defensive pressure
Calm in key situations
Adequate arm
Strong football IQ
Trusts his reads
Generally makes good decisions
Goes for the big play when available
Natural leader
Physically and mentally tough
Doesn't snowball after a mistake
High character player & humble

I have been cautiously optimistic and I'm still trying to keep some sense of that, although it's getting harder and harder to ignore the fact that the kid is checking off virtually every box there is for a franchise quarterback.

Next steps would be to be big time in big time games -- the playoffs.

1) How much of it do you equate to the super-offense he has with CMac here and Kittle now healthy? Jimmy looked pretty darn good in this CMac-infused offense as well,...the best he ever has, and that's without a training camp. So this obviously is an open-ended question. And the more important question @ hand with a guy like Purdy is....

2) As teams get more used to his game, is he already relatively close to his peak? Or does he have alot more room for growth?

youre always trying to attribute Purdy's success to others. lol. while Jimmy did look good, Purdy has elevated the offense by about 10 pts per game against better defenses.

Stop concerning yourself about what I'm personally doing when the entire post was about the potential of a rookie with a handful of starts. 49ers.

The potential of a rookie to improve is clearly a legit question.

i'll concern myself with your comment and your comment history. that's how public forums work.

No,...it's how it works if your letters are in gold.

Clearly, the objective of the forum is to talk about the team and not each other. I want to hear about and discuss 49ers, and opinions of them. Hey boast....about Purdy, the 49ers player...

1) He is clearly a solid player, but how much of his heightened early success you equate to the super-offense he has with CMac here and Kittle now healthy? Jimmy looked pretty darn good as well in this offense. What you think.

2) As teams get more used to his game, is he already relatively close to his peak? Or does he have alot more room for growth?

Purdy and Kyle are now locks for the Hall of Fame. Doesn't matter who else is around them. They'll be remembered as the best QB and coach of all-time. 8-10 championships together. Madden Football will be re-named Shanahan Football and the MVP trophy will be called the Brock Purdy award.

"attack the post not the poster"

i'm clearly commenting on the amount of times you attribute Purdy's success to other players in posts. has nothing to do with my gold letters.

Nobody disputes that. But I don't get why people are so hostile in regards to discussing things that he hasn't done well.

Two reasons:

1. Your constant negative takes have destroyed your claim to objectivity and lack of bias.

2. Your passive-aggressive pro-Lance agenda is well known. You attack anything and everything to tear down Purdy.

I have no pro-Lance agenda. I supported Lance when he was the starting QB. I supported Jimmy even after he personally cost us two SB rings. I support Purdy. I was one of the original people on Purdy's bandwagon. I thought it was ridiculous back in October when people said our season would be over if Purdy had to play. I recognized that he was a better QB than Jimmy back then when a lot of people here thought that idea was crazy.

You shouldn't let yourself be triggered by ignorant posters spewing lo-key racist garbage. This team is very fortunate to have two quality QBs, and young men, to work with going into next season. Until then, ETWs.

So what? As long as he doesn't take away the W…

Isn't the peak question mostly based around physical traits, or lack thereof?

You can build off physical traits, and you can build off skills at the position.

Brock clearly has room to grow. He can become more familiar with coverages and pressures. He can build chemistry with receiving weapons. He can refine his footwork and throwing mechanics. It can also go the other way too. Injuries can derail a player, streaks of poor play can kill confidence.

He may have less tools (elite physical traits) to aid him in the process, but the history of the NFL will show you that QBs without those traits can get better over time by refining their skillset and gaining experience. Brock is showing that he has the capability of doing what is traditionally required of the position to succeed. The meat and the potatoes of the job.

I think he represents our best chance at filling that role.

True, true. I don't go into the Lance thread very often anymore due to how toxic it is. I'm not afraid to point out my concerns about Purdy, but I do genuinely appreciate what he's been able to accomplish as a 7th round rookie. His limitations and the negative trends are easier to discuss, but it's undeniable that this is the best our offense has looked in the KS era. The future is bright, even if this season doesn't end the way we want it to.

Hard to believe Purdy is a Rookie. Yesterday wasn't the greatest display of offense , but still put up 37pts. If our defense played a fraction of what they were capable of I think our Offense would've had a better rhythm and could've put up 50+. Like Coach said there's not that much pressure on our team and the Raiders we're fighting for their lives, it just makes sense we got their best which is good for our young QB and a good reality check for our Defense that they always better be ready. I think come playoff time our Defense will be more focused. We are lucky that we have possibly resolved our QB issue. Go Niners!!!

For the QB position, he game is so much more mental than physical. When you have so many excellent QB who's physical attributes won't wow anyone (Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Drew Brees, etc), this proves that the Purdy can have a very very high ceiling. His ceiling is really however high he takes it.

It's true that they were fighting for their playoff lives, but every team we've played in the Brock Purdy era has badly needed to win for their playoff hopes. The defense has no good excuse for the letdown other than the reality that it happens some times.

Non of those team we've played don't have a Josh Jacob's,Davante Adams, Darren Waller. And it's a road game vs a rivalry. The defense was a let down for sure. I know our DB's aren't the greatest, but the lack of pressure didn't help at all. I was hoping for at least 2 Bosa sacks.

He has showed more in one quarter than lance has 3 whole games. Brock is a natural

Imagine going down to your 3rd string QB and being better off at QB.
