Brock has been among the league leaders in air yards. It isn't Brock.

This is where the Mac conversation begins, he is playing with the same low level roster for 3 games and hurt last week ......more real world data. I dont see page after page of excuses for Mac cause they are not needed. Atleast to this point.

Lots of football left but if Mac continues to play well and Brock comes back and is meh........

Excuses aren't needed when you win...unless you're Brock Purdy apparently cuz we still have people bringing up his picks and the "near pick" aka game winning TD.

Thing after a loss people struggle with having nuanced conversations, it's hot take city. We had a guy in here legit claim Purdy's game vs the Jags was the worst game he's seen from a QB in a 49ers uniform.

Nobody was worried about Mac's fumble vs the Saints cuz we won. Nobody was worried about Mac's pick vs Arizona cuz we won.

So let's be honest - Brock has a bigger target on him because he's the actual starter and now a guy we signed to a big contract but why should that impact the actual analysis?

We'll never have apples to apples comparison at the very least until we see Mac play vs Seattle or Brock play vs the Rams this season. And even then obviously and hopefully the talent around them will be different in those games so we'll never have a clear this guy did this and this guy did that.

The mistakes Brock made in Seattle weren't the mistakes he made vs the Jags. That's why I think just looking at his 4 TD vs 4 INT stat line isn't telling of what actually happened.

But hopefully Mac continues to play well cuz we need him to keep winning. I just expect Brock to be much better than meh when he comes back.

Contracts equal expectations. Like it or not. You get paid and sometimes demand it because you are suppose to be good. You dont get paid for excuses and coulda shoulda woulda. This isnt socialism.

Comparisons are already happening and are relavent. Its about a direct comparison as you can get, thus far, with the same personel on the field. Seattle/Rams and Jax/NO/Turds all comparable.

Mac playing the way he is should give Purdy plenty of motivation......

Damn! Took all of that for you to finally admit Brock's been meh?

Looked like math was tough earlier, now we're struggling with reading? Maybe just let AI read for you if you're unable to follow the conversation.
Purdy has been fine and even very good at times. I have no problem moving forward with him if he can stay healthy. That part remains to be seen. The one thing I disagree with that Purdy will improve a lot. I don't see it. He's like a few otrher QBs that came into the league with a lot of college experience. He picked up the offense quickly and performed well. He doesn't haver a lot of room to improve other than maybe learning to control his impulse to try and make a big play when there isn't one. It's not like he's a raw talent like Allen was or Fields or jackson were. His physical tools limit how high his ceiling is and he's alrtrady developed the mental part of the game.

Bottom line for me is accept Brock for what he is. Talented enough to win but not someone that will ever be considered a superstar. That's okay as long as they continue to surround him with enough talent. Kyle has shown he doesn't need a great QB to win games. The 49ers aren't likely to get a chance to draft a super talent anytime soon. They took a shot with Lance and obviously that failed. That was a unique situation where they had a poor season because of injuries and had the chance to trade up. Hopefully they won't have that happen again too soon.

Dude has turf toe, you know the same thing that ended Patrick Willis's career. I'm all for having him take the time to heal. Judging him after 2 games is moronic. You sound like a Seahawk fan.

What part of the math or reading are you struggling with? 24/16=1.5 which isn't good. You want that around 4 or higher for high level qb play. Not so hard if you remember fractions from elementary school.

TIL Brett Favre and his 1.51 career td/int ratio didn't play the position at a high level.

What are you having trouble understanding?
He's going to come back in a handful of weeks and remind you all how good he can be. This offense will get healthy and will be lighting up the scoreboard by the end of the year. They'll call it the Greatest Show on Turf Toe. It'll be great, just wait.

The English language and basic math
I liked what Brad Graham was saying about any perceived or media manufactured controversy. He was basically saying he doesn't give a rip about whether people think it's a QB controversy, etc. He likes both QBs and roots for both to succeed. We have 2 QBs capable of leading the team and playing well. He doesn't care who's starting if they both get the job done or if it takes both to get in the playoffs. Thus, no controversy.
