QB Brock Purdy Thread

Kyle cannot blindly accept Brock's poor performance without analyzing each and every throw Brock made on tape. Was I the only one seeing that Brock was having a tough time planting his back foot which resulted in Brock not rotating his right hip which caused the to float.

It does appear that adjustments were made as the game progressed. You see Brock trying to throw on the run which did seem to help a bit. But at some point in time, Brock will need to drop back, plant his foot and make those throws over the middle or defenses will catch on quickly.

Kyle needs to make a decision and bury his foolish pride. If Brock is hurt, he needs to pick the QB that gives us the best opportunity to win. He can't blindly pick Brock because we are paying him big bucks. That is not fair to the team in the least bit.

Niners were lucky that we played Arizona and Carolina who both stunk. But other teams would have cleaned our clock given Brock's performance tonight. Don't get me wrong. I'm a Brock guy but I'm also realistic. We need to play the QB that gives us the best shot at winning and as long as Brock is still hurt, that QB is Mac.

With how kittle runs that might be a td.

The second int was absolutely a poor decision. There was room to scramble for the first and Kittle was there as well.

Apparently, his toe isn't the problem but I don't take pressers srsly when they say s**t, comes out later usually how much things have impacted them.

I was totally cool with Mac playing until BP heals but realistically, that was not gunna happen. I think Brock is trying to adjust with the injury, while still believing he can make those big time plays.

But since he may not able to plant like he used to, maybe just go with safer plays/shots. I think that is why he just went back to his comfort receiver, Kittle and things perked back up. Definitely keep feeding Kittle and CMC as much as possible.

Brocks been throwing these dumb interceptions prior to the turf toe. It's his decision making that's the issue.

Problem is, good defensive coordinators will take away the easy stuff to the flats and make Brock beat them over the middle. A healthy Brock eats that alive but he's not making those throws right now. Go back and watch the Arizona game. He had many "floaters" over the middle that were miraculously not picked off. It's an issue…

We'll see an elite defense Sunday. Hope he's ready!

I am not willing to write Brock off yet. I would think his passing will tighten up once he is back in his grove and the rust is dusted off. It looked more to me a matter of timing and the throws were not off by a lot. One was due to the defender running flat out in an excellent play. If he keeps doing it over the next few games then that is another story.

Middle of the field is brock's weakness rn. I've seen him throw worse interceptions over the middle this past 2 seasons than jimmy g the entire time we has here. And it's the same type of passes every time. Just floaters after floaters.

The second interception is horrible. He could have just ran for the first down or he could have passed the ball to Kittle who was open just in front of him. I don't know why he felt the urgency to go for the TD. And he got a first down just one or two play before by running. Steve Young said it a few years ago, Purdy should use his legs more in those situations.

I have talked often about my INTs and I feel like #BrockPurdy plays a lot like me… He is mostly really good & makes a lot of big time throws, but it seems like every miss (which usually is a couple a game - which is actually very good) is an INT & the D rarely seems to drop any…

So Purdy needs a partner in crime? Kurt revitalized his career throwing it up to Fitz. Maybe I'd give Purdy a break throwing it into double coverage if you had a player like that. JJ is not him

"Rarely drops any" I can think of several potential ints that were dropped just these past two games

I am defo not writing off Brock for a good while. I fing love this dude, just hope he gets back to his old self. He made a couple of bad plays, all the good qbs do. But he has to kinda tighten up his game as we head for the playoffs. He seems off lately. Is he overly confident at times and it interferes with his decision making? Is it Toyotathon?

Yeah Kurt is full of s**t if he hasn't seen dropped INTs from Brock lol. There's years worth of all-22 showing that.

for me I don't really think those INTs were "poor" reads, one on one balls and you should like Ricky or JJ there….the issue is they were poorly thrown and/or there was an easy play to be had without putting the ball in harms way.

I'm always gonna take the QB that willing to make the down throw plays instead of just dinking and dunking….the issue is Brock has a gunslinger mindset BUT doesn't have a gun.

The whole Brees 2.0 thing is ridiculous, he will never be that. Drew was an elite processor and deadly accurate. Tight window thrower. Great mechanics.

Brock could play more like Steve Young imo. He's way more athletic and twitchy than people give him credit for. Could have had 50 yards rushing and multiple 1sts (with at least one less INT) last night.

free yards all over the place for him last night.

So, you saying he has a weak arm? Several balls have sailed over receivers, which defo makes me think something is up with the toe. And if there is an accuracy problem due to toe, I will take just a little more of that dink and dunk lol. I remember when ppl were calling Purdy Checkdown Charlie or something and doesn't go for the big plays..not sure where they got that but lol now it's take whatever is there and he is taking too much risk. Ppl are never happy lol.
