QB Brock Purdy Thread

The Shanny offense is all about timing and knowing where guys are supposed to be, when you have guys off the waiver wire all over the offense timing is going to be off. Brocks passes were definitely high probably because of the toe, however when he has time with guys the results are typically very good. He is not willy nilly with the ball its just that the circumstances require him to be perfect and he has slot going against him right now. Run game sucks, Oline sucks, depth sucks. The only thing that falls on his shoulders at this time is his problem staying healthy and its a big problem so far.

I can agree

Ignoring oline is coming back to bite them. All they went after were low round picks and cheap free agents.

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.

You know very well nobody was saying that.

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've been posting here since the Andre Carter draft. I can guarantee nobody ever made the comment I bolded in your post.

So yes I am going to tell you to stop making things up. Also you got banned and created a new account?

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 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.

Must be if you think that wasn't a clear lane...

And I'm expecting CMC to catch that ball even if it's high. I'm simply pointing out the flaw in the argument that Brock throwing that meant instant disaster in some of yours opinions. There was a lot more good than bad that should've happened on that play.

You're reacting to it being a pick. And it's because CMC bats it up in the air and almost backwards where the defenders close on him and one manages to snag the rebound.

This is wide open in the NFL.

I already acknowledged that CMC was open. Him not being open hasn't been a point at any time in my argument.

CMC should have caught that ball… CMC could have let the pass go. Just ridiculous stretches to defend a bad pass from your favorite QB. Par for the course.

Holy f**k what am I reading here

I like Brock as much as the next guy but even Jimmy was great with CMC in 2022 and we all know that Jimmy wasn't great. If Jimmy had stayed healthy that season he would have gotten another extension.

Brock isn't a great QB. He never was an he never will. He is a mid-tier QB that got the luxury of playing in an offense full of All-Pros in 2022-23 and he took full advantage of it like any mid-tier QB would do it and got paid because of that. Since 2024 we have seen Brock with a less talented offense and he has turned into a turnover machine because he wants to do things that don't match his talent because he isn't aware of his physical limitations and that hurts the team and he used to do the same in college. Now we can have the excuse of the turf toe but last year he was healthy and he threw picks left and right in the 4th quarter with the games on the line.

We all know this but most of you guys are too snowflakes to admit an ugly truth that's why you keep making excuses.

Brock isn't great and Mac isn't great either. The next great QB of this franchise isn't on the roster yet.

I don't agree with your opinion in the least bit and any Brock = Jimmy comparison to me simply shows who understands the game and who wants to have a lazy argument. And that's a pretty good definition of your whole take there...lazy.

But don't go around calling people snowflakes...

Mac Jones is #14, so the 49ers have 2 in the top half. Best QB room in the league, or does that go to Stafford-Garoppolo in LA? pic.twitter.com/b4UamLos2i

#6 in QBR despite playing 1.5 games with maybe the most horrendous injury in the NFL this season (2nd worst injury goes to Tyreek Hill.)

We get it...you've been beating this sarcasm thing to death for a good 20 pages here.

when a QB has routinely had no o-line, no run game, 3rd and 4th string WRs; 2nd and 3rd string TEs... I don't know what you expect him to do.

When Purdy has some weapons, he's only good because they're there. When he doesn't, it's all his fault. That's not how it works. No QB would be succeeding in his current circumstances. The whole team is failing (outside of specific players and aspects of the defense); that's the problem.

Purdy included.

Yes he is included on the team.

What I find amusing are all the people claiming that Purdy played this poorly last year...as if last year he had consistency in the offense.

We've already established that Brock is not an elite QB the likes of Mahomes, Allen or Lamar. This is why I keep bringing up Mahomes who I still believe is the best QB in the game. We still saw him struggle when he's missing his top guys. He still struggles when his OL is getting their ass handed to them.

If a guy as good as Mahomes takes a hit in those situations why are people shocked when a less talented QB, who relies on structure in the offense a lot more for his success, somehow doesn't put up MVP like numbers?

It's really not that complicated. We have an offense that is built on guys being where they're drawn up to be. Suddenly we're shocked when the offense isn't perfect with a bunch of missing pieces and a QB who clearly was dealing with something throwing off his accuracy.

I may not think he's a true "franchise QB" but he does a pretty good job most of the time. I'm sure he would stay on script if he had all his weapons available. Kittle, one of his favorite targets is out. Aiyuk is out. Jennings has been banged up so far this year and isn't 100%. His new favorite target is Pearsall and he's got a knee issue. Add all these things up and he's forced to improvise too often when he can't find those usual open receivers. Not having a running game that is any kind of threat doesn't help either.

Is one of the reasons we don't have a running game because teams are all in to stop it because they're not afraid of our passing game?

Do you think the lack of any speed at the skill positions could be the reason they don't fear our passing game?

Our passing game is #2 in yards btw...so it's still doing something right despite all of the issues there and Brock leads the NFL in passing yards per game right now and yet people are acting like he's basically Kap vs Arizona in 2015.

Sarcasm? He is legitimately #6 in the league in QBR despite playing with an extremely serious injury for most of the season. Despite that, a lot of people here seem to have completely turned on him over one subpar performance.

I've said it was a bad pass in many posts here. You, NY and some others were going on and on about how it was a terrible decision.

It was not. And yes CMC should have caught the ball. It was a hard catch to make but one he's capable of making. And saying IF CMC lets it go it's incomplete is not a stretch, it's reality.

That ball is not a pick without it being batted up in the air. So you guys want to analyze the play because of the result and act like it was a terrible decision by Brock to put that ball in danger. It was not.

Brock needs Brian Griese back. Go get him. The role may not seem important but it is.

Now there is a point I haven't heard much of, I didn't like the idea of Griese leaving, he was a very important factor in Brock's success.

I'm not sure what you think I'm doubling down on. Is turf toe an extremely serious and painful injury that has ended careers? Yes.

Is Brock #6 in QBR despite playing through it for 1.5 games? Yes.

Did he have an overall subpar performance against the Jaguars? Yes, obviously. He had a lot of struggles with accuracy that can probably be attributed to a mixture of the injury, rust, lack of practice time with his receivers, and good defense from the Jaguars.

Is there cause for longterm concern after that performance? No, not unless we keep forcing him to play hurt while he is also not able to practice much and we keep giving him a rotation of random #3 and #4 receivers as his top weapons. I'm far more concerned that he's always going to be injury prone more so than that he's suddenly become a bad QB.

Let him sit and heal for as many months as he needs to.
