QB Brock Purdy Thread

Not sure how anyone watching this wasn't impressed

Specially coming back from his toe injury.
This team really needed a game like that from his starting QB.
Purdy being a really good scrambler gives a higher ceiling to the Offense.
Mac Jones did a hell of a job but Purdy's mobility really changes the Offense IMHO.

I felt safer with Mac throwing the ball bc he has excellent ball placement, but with Brock you know the play isn't necessarily over when the Dline is bearing in.

Good first game back !

Don't notice much difference between the two frankly. Brock is clear more mobile but both QBs can play in this offense. Both love to make stupid ass throws multiple times a game too. Nice to have 2 above average QBs with how injury prone this team is.

Fair analysis. Brock has the capability of going next level if he tones down the forced throws across the middle and got rid of the ball quicker but he has not shown us that he will. Until he does, the comparison is fair and also alarming when you factor in the limitations his payday forced. Some in here refuse to acknowledge that. Strip away the opening kickoff return, half the turnovers and 2/3rds of the penalties and it ain't 41 points and his performance would not have been characterized as brilliant or vintage it would have been pedestrian at best. It's ok to be honest about his play…

If my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.

Apply this same standard to other QBs this past weekend please, and ignore that they're part of a team.

This! 1st few drives I thought ok 22/23 Brock is back. Then he resorted back to what we seen last year.

As for the talk of him pushing the ball down the field and not checking it down... his Yards per attempt was basically the same as Mac's average this year. 7.7 vs 7.4. So I mean.....

Yes he definitely is a better scrambler/off script QB than Mac but did we even see anything positive come from that aspect yesterday?

I am glad he's back healthy. I would obviously start him over Mac. But I will say, yesterday's performance was closer to the '24 Brock than the '23 Brock. I also didn't like that throwaway he had that was still in the field of play. We were in scoring position and had a throw away with 2 defenders in the area. He did the same s**t in SEA. SEA defender actually dove fir it and had a legit chance for it. This one we got a DPI or illegal contact or whatever. Chuck that s**t out of bounds.

You can checkdown all game and still end up with high ypa. It isn't a clear indicator of QBs depth of target

Purdy looked fine yesterday. He made one really nice throw on that 30 yard TD to Kittle. Other than that it was a lot of easy wide open throws. Not great but at least he didn't show any signs that the toe was bothering him. I said before the game that his stats in the game weren't the most important thing about his return. It was the perfect scenario for his return being that he's from that area and the Cards have a poor pass rush.

Let's be honest. Two of the Niner TDs were set up by big plays The 98 yard kickoff put the ball on the 2 yard line. Then Lenoirs INT put the Niners in greaqt field position. One TD pass was 4 yards and another was 9. Both were really easy throws. The one really good drive was the one where he hit Kittle with that 30 yard TD toss.

Brock looked good in his first game in 6 weeks but let's not get crazy. He only threw for 200 yards. The best things were he was efficient and his toe didn't seem to borther him.

Yeah he looked better than I expected him to, but he still has a lot of room for Improvement. Looking forward to see where he goes though.

The whole team has room for improvement. Especially the defense. They beat a bad team that had lost 6 of their previous 7 games. Now go out and show they can beat a good team. Panthers are better than the Cards but the Browns and Titans are beatable. The last 3 games will be a lot tougher.

Point is results are the same.

Stats can be very deceiving. Brissetts stats were eye popping and way better than Brock's but those 2 INTs caused his rating to be way lower. It's why I don't like that rating stat. INTs can be the result of a bad throw, a tipped pass, a bobble by the receiver that goes into the defenders hands or a great play by the DB. Two of those things aren't the fault of the QB but he gets dinged for it. Same for total yards. They may be the result of a lot of deep throws or a lot of short passes that turn into big yardage plays. You have to look into the situation and the actual plays to tell how good a QB really played.

What exactly is your issue with Brock's reaction time? From what I recall there weren't many plays where Brock was confused or struggling to process anything. Only time was when the DB baited him and nearly picked the ball but that happens to any QB from time to time.

The only difference is Mac knows he has to throw quick or his odds of success are diminished but there was no hesitation from Brock that was similar to how people complained in the past. If he wasn't throwing the ball it was because guys were covered and the good thing was for the most part if he didn't see a play he threw the ball away.
