Good. I am glad.

I don't understand how anyone can feel positive about Purdy at the moment (or, quite frankly, moving forward). The negatives outweigh the positives.

Sure, he's agile and he "processes" well, but he has no arm, and nearly everything must be thrown to the middle of the field or otherwise floated like a punt. Did anyone else see that third down throw to the sideline in the 4th quarter? I forgot who caught it, but the ball took an absolute eternity to get there when it should have been on a rope. He doesn't have the arm to do it. Defenses know Brock's limitations, and they bait him. And he consistently bites, failing to see LBs and safeties lurking (a problem that Jimmy had, too). Plus, he has a habit of playing hero ball. You can't do that when you don't have the tools in the bag.

There isn't a single person here who can justify his contract extension right now. It is looking like another massive misstep for this front office. Unfortunately, this one is likely to be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

This is so ill informed. Purdy can throw outside the numbers and can throw down the field. Does he have a rocket for an arm, no, but it's strong enough to get the job done. He had a bad game, there's no arguing that, but they ended up with the win, which is the only thing that counts this season. According to Kyle, and Brock, all of those interceptions were the right read, they were just bad throws. It happens. Anyone who has actually bothered to watch Brock play the last three years knows he has made those exact same throws on multiple occasions but was clearly a little off target tonight.

As to his contract, I regret any deal that results in someone getting paid millions of dollars a year to play a game, but that's the nature of sports these days. I think paying Aiyuk was a far bigger mistake than paying Purdy, who has won more than he's lost, taken the team to two NFCCG's and a Super Bowl, has recorded more games with a passer rating over 130 than any other QB in history has done in their first four years, and done so while playing in only about two and half years' worth of games. He also holds the 49ers single season record for passing yards and has been at the top of the league in passer efficiency rating every year he's played. So, your claim that there isn't a "single person" who can justify his contract is just hyperbolic nonsense.

I think a bigger concern for the team moving forward is their lack of a pass rush. The defense played well against a Carolina team that isn't very good, but that's not going to get it done against teams like the Colts and Seahawks. The lack of a pass rush is a quantifiable fact since they're last in the league in sacks. Brock throwing three picks on three straight drives is more like an anomaly. Not a good look, but not something you would expect to happen every week,

Lets not forget purdy is not throwing to aiyuk and samuel. He is throwing to the midget pearsal coming off a bum knee and jennings with four broken ribs. Just doesn't make sense to test mano a mano jump ball situations against a decent panther backfield.

I agree but what has really changed from the Brocks rookie year and 2nd year? His arm is still the same. The talent around him isn't all that much different. It's not like teams have caught on to him, there was a lot of film on him and he was still elite.

The drop off is a little puzzling. It seems like Brock's processing/decision making has just really dropped off which is very odd given he has more experience now and you'd think that would be a consistent trait.

1. He doesn't have the weapons he had early on when he was stacked everywhere. The ones he does have been injured.

2. CMC isn't the same player he once was. Even Jimmy G was looking like a top 10 QB with CMC as the lead RB. While McCaffrey still great, he is more of a 4 ypc guy when he was 5 ypc.

3. Teams have scouted him and figured him out.

Very similar to that night game against the Ravens , when he threw 3 or 4 INT. Just poor to questionable, thin line decisions forcing bad outcomes. Luckily Carolina offense so bad they couldn't really capitalize.

It was his worst performance as a pro IMO, worse than the Ravens game.

The Ravens game had only one really bad pick. The first one he threw. The other 3 were somewhat fluke situations.

This one...they were all pretty terrible. Even the 3rd one which Aikman and others claimed was an excellent play by Horn...regardless if Brock throws that on time Horn can't get there.

It was the first time in Brock's career where I got nervous when he was throwing the ball down field. Everything he showed in the Arizona game to make me think he learned from watching Mac kind of went out the window. It wasn't forcing stuff into double coverage but the first pick he threw was absolutely unnecessary. First down..just cuz you get a ton of time doesn't mean you should test their best corner on Jennings. The ball placement didn't help things either obviously.

Same thing with the pick on the run throwing to Pearsall...take the first down with your legs.

Made it very hard to enjoy the win last night because the QB performance was honestly scary and it's unlikely he'll be able to shake the stink off that game considering next game is against a terrific Cleveland defense with a ferocious pass rush, on the road where we have very little success in a long time. Oh and sounds like bad weather is coming.

Just hope we do enough to get the win there, use the bye week to get Purdy right for the end run. If he's going to play like he did last night it will not be pretty.

Don't worry, if Brock has shown anything it's that he's lights out in bad weather games

When is the out in the contract?

To pay a guy $50 million per year with the amount of turnovers he's had over the last few years is alarming. They can be getting similar production with someone on a much cheaper salary.

He's being paid to be a difference maker. Right now he's not.

And if the toe is still hindering him and we won't see him at his best til 2026, it will have been 2.5 seasons when he was at his peak before the Baltimore game in 2023. That's alarming.

Pearsall is an inch taller than Aiyuk at 6'1". He's also a little faster so why are you calling him midget.

You don't get to continue to use the "elite" processing praise, when it's not consistent though. Cool Brees sees an undersized white QB with a subpar arm, much like himself. Brees is by far more accurate than Brock. Outside of one amazing season from Brock we've gotten injuries and mid level play. It's the truth unfortunately.

you can't pay a guy a $265M and have him floating out INTs, especially when his backup is doing just fine with the same (or worse) talent around him.

If he's not seeing the field well, use your legs to make some positive plays and take what's there. I know you're gonna be positive on Brock no matter what, but sometimes we gotta call like it is….doesn't mean he can't get back to playing like he did in 2023, but he simply hasn't been that for a little bit

Not true, but I am gunna give him the benefit of the doubt for a while. He was using his legs out there quite a bit? And looked pretty good too when he was doing that.

But when Mac was playing, ppl said he was a statue and not making those "big time plays." Maybe ppl just want to complain lol but I do think Purdy is better at scrambling and making those bigger plays. It's his accuracy that is off..I think it's the toe, who knows but this feels out of character for him.

But I agree, Mac is playing at a high level overall, I mean he was qb1 and a first pick for a reason, dude is a baller.

A hugely disappointing performance from Brock last night.. I really thought he was gonna be that guy, but it looks like the search for a true franchise QB goes on.

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

I played that back and I believe Jennings was also open. I saw him running a crossing pattern toward the left side and he was wide open before he disappeared from the screen. This was just a bad game from Purdy. No excuses. He came close to having 2 more passes intercepted as well.

3rd int was a little late but also a great play. Even Eli was saying there's no way you're going to see that. Guys are either abandoning their assignment and jumping the middle or if their assignment stays in to block they just find the in breaker and cut under

Maybe Mac Jones is it. He showed a lot more this year than Purdy has since 2023.

Not sure why he is floating everything. He has been able to drive those throws in the past. It's odd.

A not healthy toe would cause the foot not to plant right and sail balls. Makes sense.

Originally posted by RiceOwensStokes:
Purdy has no business being out there until his turf toe is fully healed. This staff is such a joke

Dude I agree about that, he should have never played the Jags and just sat him until fully healed. It is bonehead decisions like this that make me so frustrated about the staff. This should have been no brainer to not start him against the Jags and wait.

But here's the thing: Did his toe make him play poorly last year?

Purdy was asked about the toe before the game and he said it feels fine. No problems. If he's lying about that then that's worse than the INTs.

Looks like we will never get the 2023 Brock back. He has been getting worse and worse. Sucks that we paid all that money for someone that is trending down.

Your right, that brock had a loaded roster this brock has a contract that will keep that from happening again.
