QB Brock Purdy Thread

It feels like 2008-10 in here all over again!!

the good ole days of Alex smith fanatics telling us fans of the team to not beleive what our eyes were telling us. Alex really is the best to ever play.

It doesn't matter what NY said. I'm addressing your argument and ridiculous Alex Smith comparison.

He could have gained zero yards and it would have been an infinitely better result than what actually happened. It was a reckless and poorly executed throw. Something that has been more and more common for this QB, to the point where he specifically addressed the need to improve in this area this offseason and prior.

There's a wide gap between reckless play and Alex Smith level caution.

It was not a reckless throw at all. What are we doing here? It's a throw Purdy has made numerous other times. The only thing that made that throw anything abnormal was the defender getting in Brock's face. This happens after the decision is already made to throw to CMC. It's not much different than the big 3rd down throw he made in his first game vs the Dolphins to beat the rusher coming at him.

Now we want him to piss himself any time a defender is close? The issue was the throw itself and even then it was still catchable.

Know what else gets 0 yards and 2nd and 10? CMC not batting that ball up. Had he simply let it go it would've been incomplete.

I don't understand how some of you are acting like there were 3 guys right on top of CMC. That's a WAO look. This was far from reckless play.

I said it was a bad throw numerous times in here. My contention was the decision wasn't the issue. You however have held onto the silly notion that it was poor decision making and hero ball by Brock on that play. It wasn't.

You want to take an attempt at explaining why it was a bad throw?

I already have. Look at his feet on the throw. You make it seem like it's a bad throw more because of the rusher, I don't think that's the case. It was his feet. And even if it was the rusher your expectation is silly. No QB makes a calculation based on how fast the defender can get to his spot. They see an open guy and unless the defender is right on them they make the throw.

You have the benefit of hindsight and seeing the result of the play.

He doesn't need to break a tackle. He doesn't need to gain 5+ yards. You make a positive gain and move on to the next play rather than force an inaccurate ball into the middle of the field with a defender in your face.

The fact that you think this is 'Alex Smith s**t' is absurd. It's like you don't actually understand what Alex Smith's issues were. Maybe it's breaking news to you, but good QB's take safe completions sometimes.

Don't waste your time. He suffers from being the charter member of the Alex Smith Syndrome club. You'll never convince him that Alex Smith ever did a single good thing in his entire career or be able to make a reasonable argument about the various plusses and minuses of his game. In fact, if you were to post a lament about Nick Bosa going down with a knee injury this year, he would find a way to blame it on Alex Smith.

Don't tell me not to tell the truth. I lived that miserable time of nonstop arguing about Alex smith. It was years and years of that BS.

it was great to get rid of so many so called fans who were bigger fans of Alex than of the 49ers.

Got my arse banned over it.

I am pretty sure I'm watching a different sport than you guys, lol. CMC is supposed to let a high pass go in the middle of the field? That's a realistic option in your mind?

CMC may be open, but Brock doesn't have a clean lane to get that ball out. You see how he has to wait a beat for CMC's route to clear, correct? He has a defender bearing down right on his throwing arm. Even SWH acknowledge he needed to get the ball out over that defender. Again… look at how he throws that pass with the pressure. The pass…to no surprise… is high and out in front of CMC.

Brock shouldn't be out there Thursday. He's clearly not 100% and I don't trust him right now..

He is better off healing. Team knows Mac can do it.

Agreed. Shut him down for the season and let him heal up.

Respectfully, I think Alex Smith wasn't very good. I just vehemently disagree that a checkdown, from a QB who clearly needs to check it down more, would be inherently Alex Smith-style and a bad thing. He also thought it was 'comical' that an errant over the middle pass that results in an interception reminded some people of Jimmy G. It's baffling.

Not specifically directed at SWH but I think there are knowledge gaps and a lack of objectivity in the vast majority of these arguments. It's pretty much always the same s**t regardless of who the current players are.

The idea that Brock could come back from this injury in a few weeks and not have it be a reoccurring issue was always a little fanciful and based mostly on an inability to admit that our starting QB was likely lost for most of the season. Turf toe is a serious injury and not something that fully heals in a month.

While him playing through immense pain was admirable, it likely has only made things worse.

Hurting a toe is something hard to get around. Sure they can inject him with pain killers but it will take longer to heal. Best to rest him until he has healed properly. The back up is, for once, competent to win games.
