QB Brock Purdy Thread

He's making too much money now, walking into the building like a billboard, to throw 3 picks against the Panthers. He's gotta get better, but unfortunately he's on the same track as JG. Every QB goes through slumps, though. He can recover. If he starts playing well into the stretch run all will be forgiven. But he's been making the same mistakes for a while now.

Also, he's just not good on Monday night. I don't know his stats, but he throws a lot of picks on Monday night. Sunday night hes been fine, but Monday is just bad. That Colts game is frightening.

It's not just the 3 picks. I saw Montana and other great QBs have that many. The difference is they made so many great throws and racked up TD passes that the INTs were overlooked. Brock's INT % is going the wrong way. In his 4 seasons it's gone from 2.4 to 2.5 to 2.6. This season it's at 5.3%.

Last night he had the correct read but poor execution on two throws. On the third, it was a good throw but the opposite side CB made an unpredictable play that came out of nowhere. No QB would have made that read. ...but I think we all heard that from Troy Aikman.

He was late on his first INT, the one in the RZ I didn't hate BUT he had much safer plays to be made either running for a 1st down or tossing it to Kittle. That play costed them points.

As far as the other play

I can't see any reason to rationally argue this. I know he's Kyle's boy, but hoping Kyle tears into him during film study. This HAS to stop.

Of course he needs to do a better job of taking care of the ball. He needs to understand that with our current WR corps, he's better off checking down to CMC or going to Kittle on every play. He needs to realize that he doesn't have a WR like Aiyuk out there anymore.

OR, and just hear me out on this one, he could understand that when they only need 4 or so yards for the 1st down, and he has 15 open yards in front of him, he could just run for it.

Your are conflating facts and seasons.

Yes, Purdy had training camp with Pearsall but that was two months ago and they have had very little healthy time together. Pearsall still does not appear to have the crispness he had at the beginning of the season. Last year, Aiyuk never showed the same spark he had in 2023.

No, chemistry is not all of it but it does play an important role whether some people will recognize it or admit it or not.

Yes, Purdy said his accuracy was to blame. What he didn't say was that he was hesitating on his reads, but it looked obvious.

All of this. I do miss the BA Purdy connection, they were really on fire for a while. And as much as some of us have complained about his attitude, BA was a hell of a player and loved to see him and Purdy do their thing. I can see why they re-signed him but then his leg snapped in half:/

Did Jaycee Horn make a great play here? Absolutely. But the throw was late because Brock hitched twice after a 7 step drop. Deep dig footwork on their play action drop back is 7 + 1 hitch, not two. That extra hitch allowed Horn to fly across to pick it. pic.twitter.com/3IYFwsq367

Frustrating in the sense that you can see the possibility for a big play there if the QB is on time and has a strong, accurate, throw. Brock has such a small margin for error with his limited arm strength.

I assume you aren't only referring to people criticizing Brock. It's clear that emotions are affecting some fans' ability to accept that Brock has a serious, ongoing issue with turnovers. A denial of that issue suggests there is some sort of emotional connection with the player that can't be compromised by repeated outcomes during the games.

Not with turf toe. I'd prefer he never run it if it can be avoided until his toe is fully healed. The argument could be made that he could go to Kittle there, but he should not have run that. He's got an obligation to the team, his wife, his daughter, and to Toyota to not take unnecessary risks and avoid crippling himself for life by letting his toe get reinjured.

Haha.

I can't tell if he is srs or not lol

I guarantee Lynch regrets the contract, albeit too late. His arm strength and accuracy isn't going to magically improve. He's a bottom 5 starting QB in the NFL this season and it's devastating as a fan.

If you're paying your QB 250 million you better make sure he's a superstar QB who can carry your team because you will not be able to keep key players once your QB lands that massive contract. This is no longer Brock making 1.5 m and Lynch can build the team around that.

You're now left with a mediocre QB and no depth.

Lynch didn't negotiate his contract nor was he the deciding voice in extending him. The organization was likely in lockstep with this decision.

People really need to take a closer look at our FO structure, lol.

Have you seen some of these older retired players? A lot of them can barely walk due to injuries suffered during their playing career. Turf toe, if not allowed to heal properly and repeatedly re-aggravated, can lead to longterm disability. Brock shouldn't be scrambling right now to reduce the risk of that happening. He probably shouldn't be playing period.

He was already running. Had he simply ran another couple of yards and went down it would have been easier on his toe than throwing the ball.

Nobody has made a Toe-yota joke yet?

Could see him making it into a silly commerical..

"Dude, you see what I did with my To?"

"Your toe? Yeah, Brock..sorry about that man, gotta suck."

"No dude, my Toyota, I just got all weather floor mats put in."
