Sit him for the next 2 weeks. Maybe he can get healthy and figure out what he has been doing wrong.

Alex Smith did more with less. I would take 2011 Alex over Brock easily right now.

I will be fair to Purdy in that his numbers yesterday should've been a lot better. The drops were ridiculous. A touchdown and two huge 1st downs were wiped off the board. But the multiple hospital balls and overall inaccuracy yesterday was inexcusable. Very Jimmy like. The fumble was inexcusable.

You have to let it rip against zone. Brock kept looking for the kill shot and by the time he accepted it wasn't there, the pressure had arrived, allowing everything underneath to get swallowed up.

He wasn't the only problem, but he played a big part in a disgustingly awful complete team loss.

The only guy who came to play was Warner.

At what point in Alex's career are we talking because his first 4 seasons he threw 37 tds to 43 interceptions. It took Alex 6 seasons to become a decent QB.

Alex didn't have a stable coaching situation until Harbaugh got there. Different HC and OC nearly every year. Very little talent around him.

They should sit him until he is healthy. We don't know how healthy Mac is either though. And we have no running game to help an inexperienced QB

Whatever he has been doing wrong he's been doing last season and so far this season. He has not shown he can learn from his mistakes.

By then Kittle should be back and Jennings and Pearsall should be healthier. Probably some other WR help as well. Hopewfully the O lone tightens things up too. That should help him figure out what's wrong.

You can say this about every QB in the league. I hate when people say this because it's judging Brock by a standard that no other QB has to be judged by. What QB has played lights out with all their top targets on the bench and practice squad scrubs filling in?

Brock is a gunslinger and will play hero ball when his back is against the wall. I'll live and die with that because we need that when the actual playmakers get on the field. "Brock throws too high." Linemen's arms are too high and linebackers and safeties jump too high. His balls hit guys in the hands. He's giving guys chances to make big plays.

Every amazing highlight catch by a WR, RB and TE is a mediocre or terrible throw from a QB. Brock is only in his third year and will continue to progress and learn what he can and can't do in certain scenarios. I'm not going to judge him too harshly. He was playing with one arm and foot behind his back with injured players and his limited mobility with the plate in his shoe.

hyperbole? This stems from last season all the same. Constant "well this is why he played bad" because of the weather, the OL, the players around him, he's "hurt" etc etc. at some point we gotta stop finger pointing at everything else besides the QB. Brock has gotta play better in these types of situations.

34 TOs in 1142 passing attempts is not good dude.

I expect more from our $250M QB than I do with Bourne who was cut or Farrell a backup level TE.

it's not even just this game, I'm fine with flushing it and moving on….Look objectively we all think Brock is a good QB and of course he's better than Jones, BUT is he $240M better? The expectations are WAY higher for him going forward and watching him toss s**tty INTs week to week isn't a fun way to spend my Sundays lol.

Yes hyperbole. You expect more from a $250M QB? So why are you bringing up last year when he was a 7th round rookie salary? And as I said above his cap hit this year is $9 million. Where is your expectation about that?

The whole "Is he $240 million" better thing is a lame argument and I'm sure you know it. Brock earned a new deal, he got it and now he has to play regardless of his salary. Like ANY QB he can't play by himself. The first two turnovers were not on Brock. Either or both of those get wiped off the board and we don't know how the rest of the game looks but odds are we're at least discussing Brock's play after a win.

You may have different expectations but considering the job of the QB and WR are vastly different...you should be able to hold a guy accountable for 3 drops including a huge game shifting play. Farrell as we all know btw got a pretty good contract for basically being a blocking TE2. Expecting him to secure the ball isn't a big ask.

Look at Mahomes - no Rice, no Worthy and he's not looking like his usual self. Worthy gets back into the lineup and he plays his best game of the season. That's an actual elite QB in this sport and he's still feeling it when his top guys are out of the lineup.

Why are we shocked when Brock does as well?

Now I do agree Brock has to make better decisions on first/second down. There is a risk factor on some of those throws he goes for and he has to keep that gunslinger mentality in check but at the same time it's that mentality that gave us a lot of huge plays in 2023 when we had consistency at the skill positions and had an outside threat that kept defenses honest. Do we want him to turn into Alex Smith? I don't think so. How about the team just rallies around him and we protect the football?

I mean we had people yesterday talking how this was the worst QB performance they've seen...and you're telling me it's not hyperbole? Or did we get some fans who weren't around for Kap's 4 pick game vs the Cards? Cuz I'd say that game was FAR away worse than what Brock put on tape yesterday.

That would explain a lot about the high throws and generally inaccurate throws.

I recall Tom Brady talking about how important it is to be able to follow thru and put full weight on the front foot. Without that, you not only lose power to drive the ball but also tend to throw it high. That was what I saw a lot from Purdy yesterday. As someone else here noted, he seemed to be throwing off his back foot a lot.

I wonder if Mac Jones' knee would have been healthy if Purdy would have played at all? Clearly Brock was not healthy yesterday as is confirmed by Lombardi's report.

They should probably shut him down for the season and let this heal up. Otherwise, it's probably going to bother him for the rest of the season and possibly for years to come.

Why is there a Mod for WZ making excuses and going at people? Lol

The stats over a period of time tell you what a player is, excuses don't.

This Mod is in every thread doing the same thing. I even took a long ass break from here and first few days back same Mod is slurping.

WZ has been going downhill last few years.

Seriously? I'm pretty sure we all remember when Alex actually had less...it was not pretty.

The "less" you refer to in 2011 was #2 overall defense in points allowed, #4 overall in yards allowed. One of the best OL in the NFL. Terrific running game and the best TE duo in the league with Vernon Davis and Delanie Walker making it very tough for defenses to go in on run or pass plays with those out there.

The fact that his toe is feeling sore today clearly says he wasn't fully healthy during the game.

I'm allowed to post. But I would recommend if you're going to make a point to complain about it when I haven't done anything but respond to people...maybe leave the personal insults out of it? Just something to think about.

Post wasn't directed at you. You didn't respond to anything in it which is all factual information. Anything else you'd like to add to the discussion?
