He is more mobile and twitchy than Mac.

But Mac looks just a little more accurate and I actually trust Mac more in a 2 minute drill than Brock.

What a blessing to have 2 good QBs on the roster.

agree 1000% with this. I also think Jones has a stronger arm. I always thought the noodle arm label was crazy. He doesn't have a rocket but I honest thought hie arm strength was on par with Trey's.

There's probably 60 QBs in the league with a stronger arm than Purdy. That's not really his game. I'm not sure either guy is in the top 25 in terms of arm strength/velocity. Both can make up for it in other ways (as long as the weather is cooperative.)

Stafford is a crippled old man with a worn down arm. He's probably not in the top 10 in terms of arm talent/strength/velocity anymore, but he looked miles better than either Jones or Purdy on Thursday.

I would suggest, at times, Purdy thinks its his game.

I've asked this question before and as usual I'm sure it will be ignored.

When was the last time Purdy's arm strength cost us? Not his accuracy, not his decision making but his arm strength.

I think Brock understands his arm limitations unlike Jimmy. Brock is aggressive at making down the field throws but I certainly don't recall any throws where his arm was a clear issue whether a deep throw that he simply under threw or a throw he tried to make to a spot where the juice just wasn't there and it got picked off.

I do think Mac's arm is slightly stronger than Brocks but it's not a glaring advantage either. Brock's issues are not related to his arm because he understands what his arm is and isn't.

So you have a track into the mind of Brock Purdy and how he processes the game....wow that is impressive.

I agree with this.

Insufferable.

Some people can't see past the tip of their nose. Brock is still a young QB and reps are very important. No need to needlessly feed a stupid controversy.

People gotta get clicks and views. When Brock is healthy he's the guy.

Baldinger is the orginal post. Not so sure that is the motive.

His play speaks to that. I challenge you to give me that one play where his arm wasn't enough and he tried to make the play anyways. Just one.

Would think you'd jump at a chance to prove me wrong.

You would think? Its getting tiring. Too much winning.

His play speaks to that......So your proof is through a special spirit of the minds between you and him. Did he agrree to that? Ya.....make me chase.

Once again when asked for proof from actual games you respond with absurdity. Shocking!

Yes the stars on the football field. That's where I choose to do my analysis about football...

And I'm not even claiming I'm 100% right either. I'm going off my memory. You're welcome to prove me wrong but that would require you to actually watch the games again. The horror!

It's hard too really answer that question. There may be some plays that Mahomes or Allen might make that Brock won't even try. That said, in Kyle's offense there aren't a lot of throws that Brock or Mac can't make. It's a QB friendly offense and why we've seen so many different QBs have success in it. Arm strength isn't a major issue with Kyle. He's more concerned with reads and not turning the ball over.

I guess it depends on how you describe costs us.

There has been plenty of passes that were broken up due to the ball taking a while to get there.

I love Brock and his arm is plenty strong enough however his lack of zip has left some plays on the field.

All the responding you did to me and did any post that I made indicate that I believe Brock has a big arm? I won't even bust your chops about using walterfootball for draft insight.

I'm talking about specifically arm limitations costing us wins. Like a critical turnover, even broken up passes.

There are times when Brock's throws miss because the timing is off, his accuracy is off for whatever reason or he's simply late on the throw. I guess you can make the case that when Brock is late on throws he doesn't have the arm to make up for the delay and I won't argue that but I also don't recall any like that.

He did miss a TD to Pearsall week 1 vs Seattle when he was late on the throw but it definitely wasn't an arm limitation situation.

I know people brought up the underthrows to Kittle and Cowing vs the Chiefs last year but we've also seen Brock make those throws before and IMO those were more location or timing issues vs arm problems.
