Seattle was the house of horror for a long time for the team and specially with Kyle as HC. It's like every impossible thing could happen. And then Purdy became the starter.

Not hard, Seattle is an average team at best.

It's not easy to win IN Seattle. Like what lol

Seahawks were 3-6 last year in Seattle.

Rams went into Seattle last season and needed OT to win.

Were they a fraudulent team, too? Oh wait no they went all the way to the divisional round and then all of sports media worshipped them for almost beating the Eagles.

Do they get less then 1 win because the game was in OT?

Seattle went 10-7 last season and got better on paper…

Yeah not sure where the "average team" comes into play, but they had a helluva good draft and they will be in the mix for the Division. No doubt they will be strong by mid season.

You're missing my point, clearly. Probably willfully.

My point is you can't dunk on us for "almost losing" in Seattle when the media's favorite team literally almost lost in Seattle last season.

He makes a lot of bone headed throws that he got away with early on and isn't anymore. He's Favre without the arm talent.

How many years we gonna keep up the "yeah but he doesn't do this thing right" and the "yeah but he doesn't do that thing right"…..lol.

4-0 in Seattle with trash O-lines and inconsistent running games while orchestrating a merry go round of WRs dealing with injuries after injuries after injuries.

Dude is IT, dude has IT and dude is going to continue to get IT done, no matter how much he keeps getting handicapped by this atrocious front office that refuses to fix the OL and let players like Jordan Mason walk.

Whatever the issues on this team are, one thing is for sure, none of them are on Brock Purdy.

I agree with most of this except Jordan Mason did not walk. He was traded and replaced for less.

The pick we got for Mason has already turned into a starting safety.

I like Purdy a lot and have supported him as much as anybody. But the one downside is he sometimes can be too much gunslinger for his own good. He has a little Favre in him without the arm strength of Favre. He can really chuck up the prayer sometimes.

. He's more good than bad but has some wild points I wish he would clean up.

Truer words have not been spoken.....

I have shared that same mindset from the get go, he is like a mini Farve without the arm. He moves like a young Farve, he thinks like a young Farve...he just does not have the cannon to risk the same inside throws as Farve.

I think that next 3 int game is inevitable and really wonder what happens when he looses his Holgrem. Farve fell off a cliff when he lost the coach they kept him on schedule ....I wonder if Brock would be smarter under that circumstance.

Yeah same. I really like Brock and was always a big time supporter but that started to wane a little starting last season. For all intents and purposes, we should have lost that game and those INT's are normally THE difference in most NFL games. So I shudder a little with the "Brock looked really good for the most part, except those two interceptions". Most nfl qb's do. I would feel better if they were just great plays by the defense but that's not typically the case with Brock. His INT's are head scratchingly long handoffs. Worries me a lot. BTW, shoulda been a game sealing 3rd INT. Buuuuuttttttt.... I'll take it lol

One of his receivers wasn't even on the roster a month ago. His TE had his first NFL catches. Pretty awesome what he did. And my god it's great to have Saleh back!!

JohnnyDel did a great job explaining the two picks.

first pick - CMC fell down and that made it where no one was pulling the LB (Ernest) and that made it so he dropped really deep. Usually if that happens, CMC is there for the easy underneath but since he fell - it wasn't there. Brock noticed this but probably underestimated his ability to go up and get it. I think it's an excellent play by the defense

the second one is apparently on Ricky because the way that play is designed - it's going to Ricky and Brock has to throw it cause his dump off is already blocking, so if he doesn't throw it, it's a penalty. So we've made that throw a lot with Jennings, Kittle, Deebo etc and the design is that the skill player has to either get it or climb the ladder and knock it down.
MVS didn't run it well enough and slowed down, so the safety bailed on him and knew where it was going

interesting to get the breakdowns. Obviously still mistakes but I love the explanations of why these happened. They weren't "bonehead" plays like I originally thought

Favre threw 29 INTs in a season. You all need to drop the hyperbole. Brock is still a work in progress, but he's been pretty decent protecting the ball thusfar.

Purdy is a gunslinger and takes risks...you have to live with it.

Alex Smith took zero risks when he was here and people hated him for it.

You need a little bit of gunslinger to beat the good/elite defenses. Good/elite defenses don't bust coverages often and are usually close with their coverage.

Against those teams you have to throw and hope your player makes the play.

IMO Seattle is gonna be a top 10 D this year

Never did I say that Purdy doesn't take risks. I said it's hyperbole to compare him to a guy that threw 29 INTs in a year.

Purdy TD to INT ratio: 2.37

Favre (career) TD to INT ratio: 1.51
Favre (first three years) TD to INT ratio: 0.95

So no, I don't think Purdy is Favre without the arm talent. Get that b******t outta here.

A little early to start ranking defenses. Early season results are often misleading. The 49ers rolled up twice as many yards as Seattle so does that mean the Niners are a top 5 defense?

Purdy may be a bit of a gunslinger but he needs to learn tha the can't get away with some of the throws he made in college anymore. He's a solid QB when he plays within his limits. He looked terriffic when the game started. He needs to reserve those deep throws for when players are wide open because he doesn't have the cannon arm that can squeeze a 35 yard toss between defenders.

So the 1st one's on CMC and the 2nd one's on Ricky. That means both throws were okay by Brock and he has a clean slate thus far?

You're correct about Mason (technically) my point is that, why do you trade Mason to just replace him with Robinson? I get that we got a draft pick, but IMO I feel like Mason was better and keeping him would have kept continuity in the offense.
It's great that the draft pick we got for him is working out so far, but it would have been much better IMO to use that capital on strengthening the OL.
