Apparently lol
He's got a 24td to 16int ratio over that span. That's objectively not good.
Matt Stafford went to the PB and was in the MVP talks with 24/11 TD to int ratio in 2023.
For all the Purdy was bad last year...here is his year stacked up against Matt Stafford - who btw had his RB1 all year long, and for the majority of the year had his top weapons available(when he didn't...he wasn't very good)
Hell you're having a tough time doing math. Your numbers are for the last 17 games and don't include his 5 rushing TDs.
Cuz if you're doing the last 19 games then...
Know what else Brock has in those games?
Comeback win vs the Lions in the NFCCG
A SB trip where he never left the field with a deficit.
And just missing the cut - Game winning drive in the Divisional round.
So lets connect the dots....the inference here is that Purdy should have gotten MVP votes in 2024 and gone to the Pro Bowl......
We went to the NGCG IN 2024?
Not sure you get it. Everyone knows Purdy can be a very good QB, the problem is he hasnt proven he can be without overwhelming talent around him and with his massive contract which has implications OVER ITS TERM will limit the 49ers to do so. You cant get much more real world proof than 2023 and 2024. We made excuses and looked the other way in 2024, which should have set up to be highly motivational and he was meh. Now he has signed the big contract and right out of the gate, 2023 Brock is still missing. Would love to see him re-appear but if he doesnt. Lets go Mac.
Nothing of the sort though I'm not shocked that you'd go there. The inference was simple - that bringing up Brock's numbers like it was a horrible performance is ignorant especially because similar numbers have sent QBs to the PB or given them MVP votes.
The issue is you guys have a hard time finding the sweet spot where Brock isn't playing with the so called Avengers like in 2023 but also not stuck with guys he barely practiced with or losing impact players mid game.
There is a lot of middle ground there. Some QBs can do a better job playing with lesser talent. The so called elite QBs who are above scheme since they can play backyard type football at a high level. These are you Mahomes, Allen and Lamar Jackson. Purdy is not like them. He is a very good QB but while he can create out of scheme from time to time he's not doing it to the level of those guys. He can run around and buy time and make plays but he can't rifle it down the field or into tiny windows while throwing off his backfoot.
All I'm saying is the analysis has to account for who is out there and the type of offense the 49ers run. And when doing it we shouldn't take a handful of bad plays and act like those are the majority. Obviously turnovers are the best way to lose a football game but every turnover is different.
Has Brock played hero ball and thrown an interception? Yes.
Has Brock held the ball too long and it caused a negative play or fumble? Yes.
Has Brock missed throws? Yes.
Has Brock made poor decisions? Yes.
All those things have happened but there was a lot more good play than bad and yet some of you are acting like the opposite is true. His contract is not an issue right now. It will not be an issue for a few seasons and yet people are acting like because he signed the deal and we're 1-1 with him as QB this season that means the 49ers made a mistake.
You can't expect to see 2023 Brock without a WR like Aiyuk on the outside or no Kittle in the lineup. We have almost nobody to threaten the defense. Pearsall is the fastest guy and it's not like Brock didn't have success throwing to him when he was out there.
And I don't have an issue with people giving Mac love for the game Thursday cuz he was excellent with a lack of weapons but just last season Purdy went out there vs almost the same Rams defense and had a hell of a game. Difference is we lost that game both because the defense could keep the Rams from scoring at the end but also because Ronnie Bell couldn't catch a pass that hit him in his hands that would've put us in FG range to win it.
And while Aiyuk was in that game, he was clearly rusty but Jennings had a career game. No Kittle, No Deebo and no CMC. It may not be apples to apples but I'm sure most of us would take that game from our QB if the defense ended up getting the stop at the end.
