QB Brock Purdy Thread

No thanks having our franchise QB play in Olympic Flag Football.

Isn't Olympic Flag Football an oxymoron? I mean lol

Processing might help you a lot in flag football. He may be a good choice for that. Mahomes won't want to play.

l listened to Kyle Brandt on GMF yesterday morning and the hate that this cat spewed on Brock was despicable. He and some other idiot talked about Brock like he was on a last place team which had never done ANYTHING and that Brock had below standard stats. I mean, these talking heads have to have something to say on TV but, be happy for him because in the three short years Brock has been in the NFL, he has been to two NFCCG, a Super Bowl, which he came very close to winning, and was not the reason for the Niners collapse last year. I look at what Brock has done and all I see is success. And, now, that success has translated into successful QB pay. That is a reason to celebrate him. Not denigrate him.

Purdy has a no-trade clause in his contract...hopefully he has a "no Olympic Flag Football" clause in there, too.

Yeah, the chatter by the "experts" is getting a little out of hand. His stats and performance to date have been great. He put them in a position to win the superbowl. The contract is pretty well structured, so hopefully the teams next couple seasons will prove this out. The number one issue with the team was time of possession on the defensive side. If they can shift time of possession by five minutes, it will dramatically change the teams performance.

I was never a fan of the Lawrence contract, another QB decoy. Nobody brings up Goof or Hurts cause..they weren't a 7th rounder I am guessing. 252. Some ppl who knew football, knew Brock was special right off the bat..others..well..needed to be convinced over quite a stretch of time, needed several other positive remarks for validation and may still feel the need to be critical..just in case idk. But I would take Brock over Goldylocks and Goff the ghost hunter any day.

Good point. You can argue about whether Kyle is a great HC or not but he is definitely a great football mind and he clearly bought into Brock VERY quickly.

I know I thought we'd have an open competition heading into 2023, especially with Brock's elbow injury but Kyle saw enough from both Brock, Trey and Darnold. That goes a long way with me.

Kyle was willing to prioritize the development of a raw, 2nd year, QB* over putting the team in the best possible position to win now (in 2022), and then course corrected (prior to 2023) and made decisions that were obvious to most of the football watching world

It didn't take a special football mind to understand a healthy Brock was clearly our best option going in to 2023 or that the Trey Lance experiment was all but over going into that season. It was argued about to death here. The writing was clearly on the wall.

Let's not forget we also tried to bring in Tom Brady that offseason as well.

i don't believe this story for one bit. I call BS.

Start high then work from there nothing wrong with that. Like I'm going into my bosses office and starting at my lowest negotiating point hell no I'm starting has high has possible. 49ers already got some free years off of him.

He wasn't the reason but he did make some critical bad decisions. For example season on the line essentially a playoff game vs the Rams he over throws it deep into double coverage on 2nd down when he had both Pearsall and Wilson open in the flat

I mean is he blaming a shoulder injury on his arm strength at Iowa State as well? He's never had a plus arm…it's serviceable, but he relied on other skills to get him to where he is.

it's weird people downplay the talent around him in 2023 and then use the lack of talent around him in 2024 as to why he wasn't as good…the truth is somewhere in the middle.

We're not gonna play this game NY. I know you're smart enough to follow the conversation without inventing a narrative that wasn't there.

There is a difference in claiming Brock was floating passes all year long and that's why he wasn't as good in 2023 and saying Brock's otherwise perfect arm was impacted by a shoulder injury.

I'm well aware of Brock's arm limitations but sitting back and pretending the guy struggled last year because of his arm strength vs all the injuries and roster issues around him is a whole different ball game.

You're right the truth is somewhere down the middle and the fact is despite all the issues last year with the roster and his arm, he was still putting up pretty good numbers overall and yet people are acting like he was just awful with those guys out of the lineup.

Once again a reminder to some folks...this is Brock on his apparently noodle armed season with top players out of the lineup vs Trevor Lawrence who had the majority of his top guys available all year long with his big arm and flowing locks. Both in their 3rd season in the NFL.

As far as reaction to Lawrence getting paid I don't recall many people being critical of the deal. If anything people should be excited about Brock's future with a healthy team around him. The whole idea that he needs All Pros everywhere is unfounded. Like I said before nobody brings up the talent Goff or Hurts have around them...why not? Is their arm strength giving them that much more ability to play with lesser talent? The film certainly doesn't back that up when their top guys are out. So what is it about Brock that we're not feeling confident about outside of his draft status and physical traits?

I was referring more to his arm talent overall (strength) than blaming his mistakes on his shoulder. I'm not blaming his play on his arm talent overall…just pointing out that's who he is and what he has to deal with. It's like pretending a guy is 6–4, when he's really 5-11. Is what it is. s**t isn't gonna change.

It's not like he's was awful last yr either. Plenty to point out for a down yrs across the board.

I mean I could replace Lawrence with Baker mayfield and get completely different numbers all the same. Would TL be better here vs the jags? Objectively I would say yes. Who cares, he's not.

Im also not being critical of Brock getting paid. I think it was a "fair" deal. The whole $65M APY stuff wasn't real life. He's gotta play better late in games for this team to take it to the next level. Overall he's young and smart. Keep the team around him good and he will win a bunch of games

Can someone breakdown how much Brock's annual is for 9 years with both contracts

Lance had 'the arm' and legs..what happened with him? Qb is mostly mental..and Lance..he couldn't zone in..spaghetti brain when it came to processing. It's like the game is too big for him or something...probably still needs more reps lol.

Yeah, I thought initially that we would have a little competition in 2023..until I went to the Raiders preseason game..I was second row behind the bench where the qbs were..it was really telling. The playing, of course, but also the body language when they weren't playing. Trey looked like the kid nobody wanted to have lunch with at school anymore lol. It was kinda sad and definitely awkward..he wasn't talking much to ppl, they weren't talking to him a lot. He had this completely deflated look. I think Trey knew it was done and everyone else did too..like the elephant in the room. But yeah, after that game, I said, "Brock is definitely solid QB1, Darnold #2, Allen #3..and Lance, Lance is..I think he's a goner, dunzo". I got some heat for saying Lance was dunzo.. and I second guessed it for a bit..that maybe there would be some competition and I was rooting for Lance to play a bit..but..it was clear. Pooph! Just like that. Crappy for Lance but it's the NFL. Cut throat.

I know you haven't made a mistake, thinking your posting in the NFL section, because you've posted in here talking about Brock as well... so I'm curious, what the f**k is your issue with Trey that you still need to bring him up in here?

Are you doing the age old attempt of deflecting diss/perceived of Brock, to hate toward someone else?...just because some still have worries about Brock? Does that some how shield your hero? I never understood this approach but it has happened many times in the past with some of yall. Weird as hell lol.
