QB Brock Purdy Thread

But you gotta be kidding me about letting it rip to Bourne no problem...the way that game was going would you let that rip?

And once again we don't know what he really felt like with the toe. They're not going to make excuses and they're certainly not going to claim he was playing hurt but the soreness after means that toe wasn't fully recovered and if you look at those passes his footwork is just wonky.

He ran earlier in the game and I wish he would've just made that decision to do the same but I still expect our OL to maintain their blocks, especially on a play that's not drawn up for a quick hitter.

Brock has had zero issues letting it rip for the past couple yrs lol. Let alone in that game.

Bourne had his man beat and the safety was worried about the TE there. Not sure how you can look at that picture and not agree he should have let it go?

dude was running around and moving all game, we gotta stop with the well he doesn't feel 100% so he can't be good stuff. It's the NFL and there isn't gonna be any point here they're 100%.

we shouldn't have to dig through the weeds to find any excuse possible outside of the easiest explanation in that he simply missed it.

However, the 49ers' passing game ranks 13th and the run game ranks 28th. https://t.co/7nHJDHutgx

With the lack of weapons 13 is a pretty good showing.

Letting it rip to guys he trusts sure. A guy who dropped 3 balls already at that point would be the hero ball you don't want him to play. Keep the same energy man. We literally have people in this thread complaining that Brock was looking to throw it deep there(he wasn't)

That's Tyson Campbell on Bourne. Tyson runs a 4.38 40. Bourne runs a 4.68 40. That is the exact type of play you're screaming that he should be avoiding on 1st down.

You're all over the place here.

Help me sort of get what you mean. Thanks.

What I was saying is that Brock has been turnover prone going back quite some time because he's good for a handful of bad decisions every game. It's a decision making issue, not an accuracy one generally.

However in this last game he made some poor decisions and his accuracy was off all game as well. I think the accuracy was injury related.

Yeha and the ones that can't make up fot that shouldn't get paid a top-7 contract

What QBs in the NFL can make up for that? Maybe Mahomes and Allen?

I mean Dak just threw for 320 yards 3 TDs with a 124.9 rating vs that Packer's D. Thats with Pickens and not much else. His OL isn't amazing either. I'm not saying Dak is better, but we can't always excuse underperforming play from our highly paid QB because of everything else around him all the time….sometimes, just maybe, it actually might be some bad play from the QB. For once

Pickens is better than 1.5 quarters of Ricky.

Javonte has been substantially better than CMC.

Jake Ferguson is substantially better than our backup TEs.

What are we doing here?

Actually, it is a top-8 contract.

It is worth noting that Lawrence and Tua are getting paid MORE than Purdy. How much are they making up for?

Sure, Purdy needs to return to the level he has been in the past but SWH's comment is pivotal: With no running game, and a whole bunch of key players out or limited by injury, Purdy included, the chasm is too great to cross right now.

Not all injuries are equal. In the case of a quarterback, the inability to properly transfer their weight to the front foot limits the follow-thru and subsequent ball placement. He can live with a sore left shoulder but not something that directly impacts the most important thing he does. Running isn't the same as throwing it.

Its just Nick Wright-esque talking points. "A top paid QB should be able to overcome blah blah blah."

QBs have to learn to live with injuries. Very few are in perfect health after a couple games. They get stepped on. They bang their hand on helmets. Their ribs get hurt. Stafford is playing with a back issue. He played several years on a bad Lions team. I'm sure he had a lot of injuries during those years.

Not sure anyone can. Mahomes hasn't had a great running game this season and they're 2-2 now. He has been doing some good work as a runner and definitely trying to make up for the lack of weapons but to make the comparison apples to apples it would be Mahomes playing without Kelce as well then having Worthy and Brown out at key moments in the game and probably no JuJu or Thornton either with a few guys getting signed off the street.

And Mahomes may arguably be the greatest to play the game and they still went 1-2 without Worthy with the win going against the Giants.

I think people forget just how crazy the injuries we've had on offense are in terms of ruining any continuity out there.

Our top 6 WRs with everyone healthy would be Aiyuk, Jennings, Pearsall, Robinson, Cowing and Watkins.

The guys in bold were either injured the whole time or suspended. Jennings has also missed 1 game and has been banged up since the first week of training camp. We had Kittle for a quarter and he's been out since.

In an offense like the 49ers run that's just a lot to throw at any QB. At least Mac had experience throwing to Bourne to lean on once we brought him in. Without Pearsall out there we have 0 speed on the field at the skill positions.

We need to get healthy in the worst way. Just insane luck that we're getting hit at the same spots over and over.

Except we watched the game. With all the injuries we are still in a position to win if our QB doesn't make multiple game altering mistakes. Didn't need perfection, or even top tier execution like you'd typically see from the best players in the league at the position. Just needed to protect the ball and not give away multiple possessions.

Why isn't Joe Burrow playing? He's getting paid more than Brock.

I'm sure Brock's shoulder wasn't feeling great. He suffered the original toe injury in the 2nd quarter vs Seattle. He played in the 2nd half and won the game for us.

Injuries to legs/feet throw things off. Obviously Brock played but an injury to his feet can certainly impact his accuracy and in an anticipation based game if accuracy is off just a tad then it can be a big problem. It was a big problem.

Just a couple of those passes drop down and we're 4-0 right now. Heck even with those if our guys just catch passes(difficult or not) we're winning that game.

But it's still a long season. If he's feeling issues after the game it's not smart to throw him out there on a short week unless he's the healthiest QB we have. It doesn't sound like he is. We'll see what happens soon enough. But we're still 3-1. Even in the likely scenario where we lose Thursday we're 3-2 and control our own destiny for the division.

We're also in position to win if guys don't drop the ball. Don't fumble it away or don't allow a special teams return TD.

Sure. Everyone is accountable including the player on our team with the biggest contract.

This is purely deflection.
