QB Brock Purdy Thread

I could say the same thing as well (in bold) that folks are trying to point blame on anything and everything but the QB….Of course it's not all him, he is the QB though. He makes all the money and he looked subpar yesterday and overall the past year or so it hasn't been amazing elite football.

I do think it's really hard for fans to take off their 49er hats and just look at everything objectively. If Brock played on the Jags the past yr or so and did exactly what he did here, no way are people defending him as hard.

it's should be acceptable to acknowledge when a QB puts up a stinker (or has underperformed for a little bit), he did yesterday and hopefully he learns from it and improves. I think he can and will.

Umm exactly.

If CMC jumps higher and makes that catch instead of it being a tip he could have got lit up because of the ball placement. He still would have get lit up on the tipped ball but the defender didn't go for a hit.

Not just a bad throw, but a bad decision. Had the open checkdown and it was 1st and 10. Another example of him trying to do too much.

I definitely think he was hurt yesterday. I think his accuracy is overrated by his biggest fans, but his placement yesterday was abysmal. Definitely a lack of precision you don't normally see from him, and that is more than likely the result of his injury.

The turnovers have been a continuing issue and I don't think they were injury related. Bad decisions, reckless with the ball etc. He really needs to reel it in. Unfortunately it's been a part of his DNA going back to college.

NY you did the same thing(as did I) when making excuses for why Lance struggled vs the Bears in that rain game.

Can you with a straight face claim that Purdy was likely fully healthy out there yesterday? Would you say Purdy is the type of QB who can get away with sloppy mechanics?

Why are you acting shocked that he didn't play well in those situations? We know what Brock is. He may not need everything to be perfect but if he's not 100% like he clearly wasn't and his mechanics are not his usual then I don't think it's crazy to expect guys who are healthy to step up and catch the ball.

We had our WR1 out. WR2 and WR3 banged up going into the game, banged up in the game. WR4 just came off suspension list and played 38% of the snaps. WR5 and WR6 are injured. Bourne who we signed off the street after week 1 barely had any time to practice with Purdy and the guy played 2nd most snaps at WR behind Jennings.

Running game getting 3.2 YPC from the RBs and special teams once again comes through with a punt return TD allowed.

Sure it would be great if Purdy could overcome all of that on his own. He's not that type of QB but if your expectation is that he should be able to overcome situations like that then I think your expectations are really unrealistic.

I don't like seeing him turn the ball over either. Any turnover hurts the ability to win games but it happens and the team needs to rally and make up for it. They didn't and unfortunately Purdy couldn't battle out of it.

I was waiting for someone to go here.

Sounds like the same excuses people made for Jimmy, rather than accepting the obvious. He was missing Kittle, he was hurt, dropped balls, etc. 🙄

I don't make excuses for Brock lol, he is not perfect, has made mistakes. Genus49 has already replied exhaustively so that I don't have to haha. Unrealistic expectations is right, given all the factors of yesterday's game. It was a collective hot mess lol

The only allowed excuse is injury and it's quite possible it is real and played a huge role. I need a bigger sample size of healthy Brock. He is a pup still-contract or not.

Of course it is real and played a role..did ppl not watch Brock's feet yesterday? Lol they were off, it was obvious. If ya got a bum toe, it's gunna throw stuff off..not an excuse but reality. They probably would have/should have rested him another week but Mac hurt his hammy. They rolled with Brock, it was too early. I hope he heals up asap. The injury bug continues to bite us in the ass lol

That wasn't a rain game it was a monsoon. No one played well on either side. That wasn't football that was seeing who was gonna be the luckiest to win it. Toss in it was like his 3 football game lol. We're into what Brock's 40th start?

Again why does he have to be 100% to play well? He ran around that pocket all day, I'm sure he was sore or whatever but to blame it all on that is putting zero accountability on his actual play and doing things like reading the damn field. Your foot hurts? Well check it down take the easy play. Don't throw the ball into 3 defenders giving CMC a hospital ball. Take care of the damn ball, especially when you have a chance to win the game at the end.

FWIW his mechanics weren't good last yr either. What's the excuse there? Mac Jones had basically had nothing and went out there and won 2 games and part of it with a PCL sprain. 4/1 ratio (and I don't think Mac is anything special).

look I don't wanna come off as passive aggressive with Brock. I do think he's a good QB. I don't think he's played to the best of his ability the past year or so. He's gotta be better now that he's paid what he is. Plain and simple.

What about his 16 games as a starter before yesterday?

Week one he was throwing jump passes and also had bad feet. The issues he had yesterday weren't a product of his injury. It's what it's been for at least a year and a 1/4.

Yes there were drops this game and it did attribute to the loss this game. That doesn't change what Brock has been the past 13 months.

Like SmokeyJoe, NY said I have said, Brock needs to get back to being a game manager like he was in 22/23. Don't worry about that moniker. He needs to just run the offense.

He was an ELITE game manager. He is a mid gunslinger.

"YOLO balls" yet his completion percentage is the same as Mahomes who is now dink and dunk?

You've disliked Purdy from the start, and were all in on Lance. You prefer highlight reel athletic QB's that get on Sportscenter. That's okay, but just say that.

Purdy is playing hurt, clearly. Multiple weapons are out with injuries. The OL pass blocking is horrendous and the run blocking is pretty average. It's a miracle this team is 3-1. Get healthy, figure something out with the OL, catch the ball, and we'll be okay. Might need to trade for a pass rusher though, that was brutal to watch.

It was obvious BP was playing injured and it affected his play but ppl don't care about that cause they have no common sense and just like to hear themselves talk about whatever empty or repetitive bs over and over lol...kinda like Sportscenter does. Nevermind dropped balls by "receivers" lol or any other factors that affected the game, let's talk about Purdy's weak arm, ints and who should be his replacement soon lol.

We had people in here saying it's the worst QB performance they've seen.

Some people just want to b***h and don't want to hear anyone try to rationalize what happened.

Personally my bigger concern is Brock's ability to stay healthy at this point. I fully expect him to get to play good football once he's healthy and we get consistency on the field. Like I said it doesn't have to be all Pros everywhere - just guys he's familiar with and has good chemistry with.

You're kidding me lol.

Agreed about him staying healthy. It's absolutely insane to me that any organization would pay that much money for a QB and then throw this OL in front of him. It's ridiculous. Brendel still gets blown back into the pocket almost every pass play. Purdy's strength is letting the play develop and finding open WR's down the field, but we do not have the OL to allow him to do that. If a s**t pass blocking OL was the plan, then just have a QB like Mac for cheap throw short and quick and slowly move the chains (sound familiar?). Kyle built this entire offense around Jimmy G's skillset and he refuses to switch it up now that he has a completely different type of QB. It's weird.

CMC cannot run inside anywhere close to what he used to. He's a good pass catcher but Robinson is a superior runner and should get way more carries. I'd like to see more of him and Guerendo because they will fight for tough yards. CMC is not doing that anymore.

I mean it's a legitimate point. I haven't really been in this thread in almost a year, and NY is still going on about the same nonsense. He clearly hasn't gotten over his crush on Lance.

Clearly you haven't been here for a yr if you think that's what I've been going on about.

the fact you can't get over this Lance debate is a you problem bud. I haven't talked about him….at this point it's a s**t rebuttal rooted in emotional nonsense. It just shows you're unwilling you are to keep things objective.
