QB Brock Purdy Thread

Did anyone get an update on how his toe was? I just wanted him to come out of yesterday game better than he previously was or atleast have no set backs on his injury.

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.

All22 isn't up yet so I haven't had a chance to check the game again but please tell me what you're talking about here. Would love to keep your concerns in mind when reviewing the game again to see if i agree with the statement.

Probably won't hear anything until Kyle speaks again. Everyone cross your fingers and toes we don't hear any bad news...

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…

LOL
3 TDs

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.

Oh, so the TDs don't count if they're easy throws, is that it? I think you got your analysis backwards. He only threw for 200 yards because special teams and defense helped give him short fields. If Moore had been tackled at the 20 Brock would have had 80 more yards in which to build up his stats, same with the interception. The greater point is that he helped the team score points when the opportunities presented themselves. His efficiency was more important than his yards.

Reading that Mac is gonna be the most coveted QB in the offseason because of how meh this upcoming college QB class is. I just don't see how or why the 49ers would even consider trading Mac with how unreliable Purdy is. Purdy might be good but his injury history is not something the 49ers should ignore. Say we do trade Mac for a 2nd or 3rd rounder. Can the 49ers be trusted to draft someone as good as Mac to back up Purdy? I'd love to hear other Mac types who could be brought in and cotributes the way he has. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head.

He didn't look like it was bothering him and it wasn't mentioned by him or Kyle after the game so hopefully it's okay. Maybe they wanted to see how it was today since sometimes injuries like that can flare up the next day but he looked fine.

Point is results are the same.

In fact Brocks ADOT 7.77. Mac's is 7.64

Not saying the results are different or that one is pushing it down the field more than the other. My only point was ypa doesn't tell us how far a qb is pushing it downfield

What happens with Jones in the off season will depend a lot on what the team thinks it has in Rourke. If he can prove that he's capable of coming in and winning games, then Jones becomes more expendable. Personally, I'd keep Jones for another year, but his potential trade value might make that difficult, especially if Rourke steps up.

If we can somehow get somebody to help our Oline by trading Jones, then I would do it.

I read that mock draft at the top of the page. I would love it if they did thay. Draftinfg Lemon in the first round might seem crazy but with Aiyuk's staus in the future still up in the air it would make sense. Her's a true #1 talent. Then they have them drafting tackles from Ohio State and Stanford.

Do short TDs count less? I'm confused...

And the reason he threw for only 200 yards is partly the reason you bring up for him having to not have to go far to get those TDs.

Even then this team has proven to be very cryptic with injuries.

Eeverything was in rythm the first few drives. Then he started hanging on a little longer. Started putting the ball in harms way.

Of course they don't count less. I'm just saying that Purdy had a good return and looked healthy but it's not like he lit things up with eye popping numbers. He did what he needed to do. Kyle deserves a lot of credit for having a game plan that allowed Brock to complete a lot of easy throws. When he can get receivers wide open and have a fairly decent running game the 49ers are tough to beat. Most of the Niner receivers didn't have a defender within 4-5 yards yesterday. They also play much better from the lead which they had from the start after that kickoff return. The 49ers started 3 drives in Cardinal territory and they all ended in TDs. Two drives were 15 yards or less. It all added up to an easy win against a bad team that made a lot of mistakes.
