QB Brock Purdy Thread

I've been very happy with what I've seen from Purdy so far. His ability to see the field, escape the rush and find the open receiver are all great. He seems like he's a take charge guy which the players love.

Sunday was the first time I've seen where his arm strength may have been an issue. On a couple of throws the ball floated a little too much and one was intercepted and the other was off target. Her seems capable of delivering accurate throws out to 30-35 yards but they don't have a lot of stream on them. This allows the DB to make up ground and break up the pass.

It's not a huge thing since the Niners don't use the deep pass as a major part of their game but it could explain part of the reason he lasted the entire draft after having a good college career.

This one I thought George should've had. Purdy threaded and it was there for George, hit him in the chest.

Yeah, but Purdy needed to throw that just a split second faster.

when people ask "how much more room for improvement does he have?" - those kind of plays come to mind for me because he'll get better with reps. The anticipation, accuracy, etc. he already does a fine job with those but he has so much more room for improvement when it comes to just operating this offense - think 2016 falcons.

after the first two TDs he started holding the ball a little longer, not running the bootleg fast enough.. i hope it's not getting to his head

You have to remember that there is more than enough film on him for defenses to game plan and try to make him uncomfortable - also, he is most likely seeing new coverages and his "go-to" plays are probably getting unique formations. I think it's just part of him being a rookie.

typically around games 6-12 or so are when rookie qb start to hit a little bump, I'm confident he will work through it. He obviously knows what he is doing - it's all about in-game adjustments.

that doesn't excuse his jogging bootlegs. especially the one that could've separated his shoulder and needed Aiyuk take away an INT. There were other times he locked on to players and ignoring the other routes. He just needs to take what the defense gives us

🤡

tbf i was worried he hit that rookie wall in the first half. that wasnt a great first half (even witht he two TD) he was averaging 3 yards per attemmpt and had like 30 yards. My concerns were alleviated in the 2nd half

The only thing i m worried about is some throws we are getting a bit lucky some of those throws could easily be picks (last few games there has been more than a few batted balls that go straight threw the air)

He has had 6 turnover worthy plays in his last 141 attempts. That his a pretty high rate.

Is this an official stat somewhere or just your opinion/observation?

Official or not you don't just ignore it.

Meh, the results tell the whole tale.

Shoot how many games would our defense have won if almost interceptions actually mattered.

Of Course... Joe's 3 Super Bowl almost interceptions would have re-written our Super Bowl history...that would suck....

at least Purdy is not Mahomes with his 5 actual turn overs in his last 160ish pass attempts (4 picks and a fumble)...

Somehow our poor wayward emergency rookie QB will have to soldier on and figure out how to hold on to his League Leading QB rating and somehow take the TD lead over the last 6 weeks of the season.

All snark aside....

It is totally normal for young QBs to throw interceptions. If Purdy was at 10tds/10ints rate in the last 6 games of the season that would suck for the 49ers in the post season but he would be beating out Peyton Manning as a rookie, he would be beating out Drew Brees third and second season. They both threw as many or more ints then TDs... Crazy because in Mannings Case he had Marvin Harrison and Marshal Faulk, Brees had Curtis Conway ( a lessor known multi year 1000 yard WR) and LaDainmin Tomlinson. So while the 49ers have more offensive talent as a whole that is 3 HOF offensive players to go with those HOF QBs.

At least Brock appears to be aware of when he is taking risks, he does put the ball low in traffic, he does try to use the back shoulder.

A least they can be talked about now before defenses get better in the post season.

If we are talking about Brock as a potential future QB i 100% agree with this arguement but we are talking about short term SB hopes here and the defenses and games are only going to get faster and better

and this is not an argument saying he isnt playing great because he is (and not just for a rookie i am talking overall) its just something i am worried about because in a close game in the playoffs one of those could turn into an int could cause us the game

I'm surprised you haven't been obsessing over him missing CMC on the back side of the play for an easy TD.

There were other guys missed for TDs, but obsessing is your thing

Personal attacks are a sign of a strong argument.

Also turned a lighthearted comment into a Midwest "No U!"

Teams know how to counter these situations now. There´s always a DE playing the role of QB Spy. The coachs ask this guy to not care about the fake running game and just keep his eyes on the QB.
So Purdy is essentially on a one on one situation everytime. Against the Bucs he had Joe Tryon on him. Purdy being the magician he is, juked him and pass to Deebo but that could have ended badly.
On the lucky reception by Aiyuk, yes Kittle was open and it was a sure TD but Purdy just didn´t have time to throw and he got crushed.
And I´m not sure Purdy likes to roll on his left that much. Clearly teams will make sure to make him go to his left.

Those blind PA and naked bootlegs can certainly be dangerous if the the defense isn't fooled. If they are it's great. But there is risk.

I don't think the defense is going to always have a DE playing the role of QB spy, because then it will help our run game.

It is really a guessing game. Kyle is always going to monitored that DE, but the defense is going to change it up here and there.

No but in playing us, most DE's know just to shoot upfield because of our tendency to PA. As a result we've seen these throws rushed, QB hit, INT (near INT), etc. Sometimes it does hold them too.

True but you spent a week obsessing over Jimmy and how he should have known pre snap CMC would be open on the Texas route on the backside of the play vs. sticking to the play side.

Odd you don't have that same energy now.

And I agree he missed several big plays including CMC for a TD.

And you know what? That's OK.

Had Brock thrown up a prayer ball that was intercepted instead it might be a different conversation.

Brock will learn from that and look for CMC the next time.

Well, he 'almost' did but Aiyuk went and got it.

But yeah, I'm confident he'll learn from it.

Even then, i don't expect him to expect pre snap the Texas route would be eide open on the back side of the play. I'd expect him to stay pre/post snap on the play side esp. in the RZ. At least until that side was exhausted.

Its not a bad stat. It actually helps paint a larger picture on a players actual overall performance. Whether the turnover was completed is irrelevant.
