QB Brock Purdy Thread

Krueger was right. Said the foot bothered him in practice and was sailing throws all week.

He also forgot to mention that Mac Jones was limited all week and was in pain at the end of the game against Arizona.
Unfortunately Shanahan had to choose between a limited Mac Jones and Brock Purdy coming back from the toe injury.
He choosed Purdy probably in order to have him ready for the game against the Rams.
I'm not sure Mac Jones on one knee would have done better.

Lots of blame here but there were mistakes all around on the team, I lost count of how many dropped balls there were, gotta catch those. And the list goes on and on lol

It's not that complicated.. He's been playing like @ss for the past 2 seasons.. We paid a qb who's mid🤷🏾‍♂?.

No team in the league was shook when we signed Purdy 😬.

He's decent at best. But can not carry a team. Truth

He was making 900k in 2023 and they can't blame him for not winning the SB that year. Teams have won with way lesser qb performances, so no excuses for that "loaded super team". He earned the money, even if it's back pay

We didn't sign him to shake the league lol. It was just the right thing to do. Screwing him over just to save money on the cap would not result in a sb lol. If you could just sign a Mac Jones and buy an elite squad to go along with him, and recycle Mac when it's time to pay him, then everybody would do that. Thats just not how it works. You roll forward with your qb, especially when he earned it as much as Purdy did

Probably as many drops as Brock had turnovers

we aren't gonna win many games if he plays like that.

Brock is still clearly hurting, IMO. I hope he has a nice bounce back. I'm disappointed that they rushed him back but maybe Mac wouldn't of been better cause his knee is pretty messed up.

we are super injured and it just doesn't seem to be getting better. I hope we can pull off a win on TNF, and the long rest week will help the guys get better

anyone who watches other games will see that nearly everyone has struggled this year.

my biggest concerns are still the o line and special teams. Our defense could be fixed with a trade for a good d end, which a handful can be bought.

silver lining is we played god awful and still had a chance to win it. I hope we have a big time bounce back against the rams. Let's hope the young guys bounce back and the team comes out with mad energy.

The QB play now brings back memories of CJ Beathard, Brian Hoyer and Nick Mullins. You never know what you're gonna get one game to the next.

Bro, he just played poorly. Bad decisions, poor placement, isn't taking what is there etc etc.

We gotta get over the "he's hurt" stuff, all these players aren't playing at full health. It's football.

I like Brock and glad he's our dude, but at some point we gotta stop with the excuses. So he can only play well when the OL is perfect, it's 75 and sunny and he feels 100%?

We aren't gonna win many games when he's turning the ball over so much. I could be wrong but 1142 passing attempts with 34 TOs isn't good. Feel like Lawrence is better there and that's not a good thing

20 ints in last 19 regular season starts, definitely a trend.

atleast hes taking some blame.

#49ers QB Brock Purdy takes accountability after the loss:

"It starts with me. Throwing better balls and being smart with the ball. I think it really starts there."

He always takes the blame. Almost all QB's do. But he isn't learning from his mistakes. That is the big problem.

All of this!

I am wondering if we took his super power away. Quick processing. In 2022-2023 we were shifting and motioning non stop every play. That allowed him to see what the defenses were doing and where the advantages were. He knew where to go with the ball before it was snapped. It seems we aren't doing that as much. Which i am kind of glad of but what if the lack of pre snap reads is what's leading to the questionable decision making? Am i correct in saying that we are shifting and motioning less?

lol relax, I didn't say he didn't play well. I just said he's clearly hurting. He def played poorly. Literally the entire team did. There isn't a phase of the game that we can say played well. It was a s**t show across the board.

jags had way more energy and way more physical.

the only positive we can take from that game is that we played god awful and still had a chance to win it.

outside of that, everyone should be disappointed with every single players performance. Even Kyle's play calling. All we do is run or pass to CMC, it's super predictable and stalls drives.

o line has sucked a lot this year, idc what the stats say. Just watching them will show you that they're not doing well.

this team has to play better cause we are only 3 plays away from being 0-4. Which I guess can be said about a lot of teams but there hasn't been a single week where we've looked "good". It's been ugly football that we've pulled out with in the end. We need to put together 4 quarters of good ball and it doesn't help we have an insane amount of injuries that just keep coming

I love that he's willing to sling it and make something happen, he's gotta be able to take those singles though.

I could be wrong, but I saw a pre-snap motion chart of this season and they're still one of the highest. I'll see if I can find it.

Man, Brock was really disappointing, the oline was trash and even when there were lanes, we couldn't run the ball for crap.
I hope he can rebound, but right now he's not looking like the guy we need him to be.

Even with the rest of the team underperforming, they win that game if not for the 3 TOs imo. He's the dude making $250M and needs to lead the pack, not depend on everything else to go right around him to win games all the time. That's all I'm saying.

FWIW the OL was graded as one of the best PBLK teams through the first couple weeks (based off PFF and ESPN). I don't think they're amazing at all, but the narrative that it's all them regarding the passing game is silly. I'm more worried about the run blocking.

Back to Brock, we all think he's a quality guy and you can stomach the TOs when he's tossing a bunch of TDs on top of it, but outside of one yr that hasn't really been the norm. How confident do we feel that he's gonna lead this team down the field and score a game winning TD at this pt? Feel like he's getting plenty of opportunities to instill confidence in the fans and overall I'd say it hasn't been great.

he's gotta get back to the basic, take the plays in front of him (look at McCorkle), actually use his damn legs on those 3rd down plays (because he's not McCorkle there). Be smart and understand what you can and can't do well.
