Hopefully that SI article on the front page will help people to understand why some think Purdy's issues go further than this year and his current injuries. SI article explains exactly what some of us were saying.

I think everybody knows he's trying to do too much. Some are just going too crazy about it lol. He will figure it out or he won't, and he should be given more than 2 games against 2 top defenses to get back into rhythm. Nobody is saying he was his 2023 self last year

Yea, we must not have been reading some of the same posts.

He's going to get more than enough opportunities to figure it out. Just hope he does.

Seems to me you have to consider the source. Cohn's been trying to stir the pot on this since the second game of the season. I mean, that guy really is a joke, I'm not sure why anyone take anything he has to say seriously.

I rewatched most of the games this past weekend and Brock was making some really good throws in that Seattle game. He wasn't as good against Jacksonville, but NONE OF US know how much of a factor the issue with his toe played in that. We also have the evidence of all of his previous starts. I guess it's just in the nature of sports fans to see a back-up playing well and winning games and then conveniently forget all of the great games the starter had before he got hurt.

I think it's great that Jones has been playing so well and I have no issue at all with him starting until Brock is completely healthy. If a decision needs to be made at that point, then the team will make it, but I doubt that decision will be based on anything that effing Grant Cohn has to say,

Im not advocating for Mac to start of Brock. Just pointing out that Brock's issues go past just his injuries and these 2 games.

I wasn't paying attention to who wrote the article. I was paying attention to its substance.

This board has a terrible history of ignoring substance because of who writes or posts it.

This board in that aspect is no different than the s**tshow that is our government.

I don't see anybody saying he was the same as 2023

b******t you didn't pay attention to who wrote it, he's the only one who does SI for the niners. And yeah substance and Cohn don't go hand in hand, which is why he is universally ignored, only reason you are pumping this article up is because he wants Mac to start just like you,

Cohn wants Mac to start because he is the backup. Cohn sucks balls, I can't believe he gets paid to do what he does. Players hate him, rightfully so.

You know you're going to get push back simply on the fact that the article is by Grant Cohn.

I don't necessarily disagree that Brock is holding the ball too long but I also think that people throw that out there in bad faith. It's easy to say he's holding the ball too long but the why is important.

I think it was pretty clear that we went into that Rams game Thursday with the Jimmy G Rams gameplan. Get the ball out quick. The passing chart shows we took very few deep or even intermediate shots. And no question Mac executed it to perfection. Would we have had the same gameplan with Brock at QB? I would think so but I have no way of knowing it.

Question is do we have a different game plan for Brock because Kyle thinks he can handle more? A lot of the plays people are yelling for Brock to get the ball out quicker there are no great looks and difference between Brock and Mac is Brock knows he can buy time in the pocket and find a play(may not always happen that way) but Mac understands his limitations mobility wise. If he sees an ugly play he'll get the ball out.

It's a balancing act. We all love the big plays and if you're constantly checking the ball down it limits your offense. This is the issue we had with Alex Smith and later with Jimmy G. Now we're starting to celebrate this type of play again because it's worked for us during our wins.

Eventually it won't work and then what?

It's all about balance. I went back to look at Brock's turnovers this year and the only one that looked to me like a bad decision by Brock where he should've checked it down or just thrown the ball away was the 2nd pick vs Seattle. An inexcusable type of throw IMO.

Brock can't make the throws Mac can make. Mac seems to process faster, more decisive, and gets the ball out quicker. Just a better decision maker currently, which is a surprising regression for Brock. Brock used to be known for this. I swear the Ravens broke Brock.

genus, you seem to be coming around brother. Slowly but surely.

I'm not sure how you read my post but nowhere in there am I coming around to what you think.

I would ask you to show me anything from the football field that shows Mac making throws Purdy can't make or in what way you calculate Mac processing faster.

Mac does get the ball out quicker. So did Jimmy G.

As for Ravens breaking Brock...you seem to forget that the 2023 playoffs happened after that game. Don't forget to click on the playoffs tab when checking boxscores.

Purdy is still my QB, he just gotta get healthy like for real healthy no b******t like he pulled in week 4. But I'm really loving what Mac Jones is doing for the 9ers, I really wish he could stay on as the back up. But if Mac Jones wins the Super Bowl this season in Santa Clara (I'm praying), then he gotta stay on as the starter no offense Brock.

If Mac Jones wins us a SB. Sign me up! I don't care who the QB is honestly. I just want to experience that feeling again.

However a reminder that Mac is signed to a 2 year deal. If he wins the SB for us this year whether this offseason or the following one he will require a new contract as well. Maybe he won't command the same deal as Brock but a SB win goes a long way in the negotiations.

So what do we do there? Just let him play out his deal and bring in another reclamation project?

Team is 100% behind Brock.

Fans can't be happy about having a capable backup.

I understand Mac Jones has played well and exceeded expectations but I saw a LOT of opportunities to score more in the Arizona game and plays Brock would have made that Mac didn't and our defense was on the field a bit more than they should have been and we lost Bosa for the season

I am good with Mac Jones but I'm rolling with Purdy until he proves me wrong

Anyone aligning their opinion with Grant Cohns is bold......
