Bad or good decision or simply a s**t throw…who cares it resulted in a INT when they were in scoring position. IMO poor results are poor results and he's gotta get better there. I haven't lost hope in Brock, he's gotta stop with the yolo s**t when it's not necessary.

His accuracy issues are concerning, especially when they arise on throws he used to be good at.

What's more concerning to me is the stubborness and inability to learn from mistakes, i.e., playing hero ball.

He literally said this past offseason that last year he was unnnecessarily trying to do too much and it hurt the team at times. Only God knows why he keeps doing it. It's absurd.

Brock stans pretend like 2024 never happened. Brock threw, what, 7 picks in the 4th quarter last year? He has more interceptions than Mac despite playing roughly half the number of games?

Stans need to forget about 2023. That team is gone, and we will never have that level of elite support around our QB as long as it's $265M Brock.

The broken QB contract market is one of the worst things to ever happen to this league. And our team keeps getting f**ked by it.

Meh, I'd argue our team has made bad managerial decisions at the position. I think we rob ourselves of one of the true advantages we have via our coaching.

You say "who cares" about why the interception was thrown, but its absolutely worthy of discussion to talk about why. If you dont want to participate in said discussion, you dont have to.

None of the three interceptions yesterday were examples of "yolo s**t" by the way.

Again, none of the interceptions from yesterday are a result of "playing hero ball." Hero ball isnt throwing to open WRs and throwing the ball off target. Hero ball isnt being fooled by coverage and not seeing a defensive back. Hero ball is launching balls downfield to covered WRs. Hero ball is trying to thread needles for no reason. That isnt what happened yesterday.

49ersRing has been making excuses for pages….dj43 trying to blame it on lack of chemistry…what are you talking about?

I haven't made any excuses for Brock. He's just clearly still recovering from injury. I don't get why people are so aghast at the concept of trying to understand the reasons behind his inconsistent play rather than just boiling it down to "he sucks now" and simplifying every solution into "he just needs to play better". Nor do I understand the implication that he won't improve.

Taking a fatalistic approach to evaluating his performance just doesn't seem all that useful.

DJ wasnt BLAMING the mistakes on a lack of chemistry either. People read what they want to read.

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

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

Orlovsky broke down the Int's. Basically said Brock is late and not anticipating like he once did. Even said it's been going on a year.

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."

That was good Montana. You should call someone from Purdys team or PR or I don't know but that's a great idea; no joke. Maybe put some bucks in your pocket

"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."

He definitely didn't blame it all on it, but he did mention it played an important role.

I'm just a bystander here continue guys

I would say Purdy's lack of chemistry with Pearsall is why Pearsall hasnt done much of anything the last 2 weeks. So in that regard, its absolutely an important role. But his interceptions yesterday were not chemistry related.

It almost does seem like "hero ball" when he's trying to make throws that require a stronger arm and high velocity throws, two things he just doesn't have. Hero ball is constantly throwing picks on 1st and 2nd down, something he did yesterday deep in his own territory as well as in Panthers' territory when he had other safe options. Hero ball is just a term, no need to get all technical about what it means. You know what it means. It means taking unnecessary risks, often to the detriment of your team. The way this guy is playing you'd think we have a top 5 defense. We got lucky last night Saleh had the boys ready to play. Just poor awareness by Purdy and lack of responsibility.

7 picks in 4 starts this year. Could've had 2-3 more yesterday. He has not been successful this year throwing over the middle. Even his best throws this year (deep shot to Purdy vs. SEA, deep shot to Kittle vs. AZ) were outside the numbers.

Isn't it fair to expect the franchise QB to learn from his mistakes? Hasn't the inaccuracy and lack of arm strength been an issue all year? Can we stop pretending that a bad game from Brock is some sort of novel fluke? The "QBs are allowed to have bad games" is such a lazy/dishonest take when Brock has been having the same types of bad games over the course of the past 20+ games.

I disagree with every single word in this post other than you pointing out how many interceptions he has. Every last one.
