I'd be shocked if anyone ever defends Brock running out the back of an endzone. Nor should they.

If it saves a pick 6, lol…

5D chess.

If it ever gets to the Alex Smith or Jimmy excuse level in here, you can bet your ass I will have flipped on Brock and be on the side wanting a new QB hahaha.

Brock has been the same dude every year he's been in the league. His interception percentage in 2022, 2023, and 2024 is basically the same (2.4, 2.5, and 2.6). The only thing that has really changed is the team around him and the fact that he's dealing with turf toe this year. Maybe his drop in numbers should also be expected since we lost Aiyuk. I'm sure Darnold's numbers would go down if they lost JSN.

It's funny, I pointed out his love of YOLO throws in 2022 and said I thought he was only around a top 12-15 QB in the league in 2022-2023 and got called a hater. Now if I say I think he's a top 12-15 QB, I'll get called a homer.

It might also be relevant to point out that Jimmy was playing the best football of his career post-CMC trade until his injury against the Dolphins.

One of the key things to do is separate team influenced statistics and how the QB is actually playing the position :)

Easier said than done. I don't think Brock was all that different from 2022-2024. This year, I think he is for obvious toe related reasons.

Wait, what? He was a lighting the world on fire when he first started until the NFCCG and a frontrunner for MVP in 23. You really think last year he was just as good?

Dan Orlovsky on Brock Purdy's interceptions:

"Brock Purdy has always been a player that you marveled at how early he threw the football down the field. He has this almost unrealistic anticipation… The interceptions this season are far too often late. The anticipation is gone."… pic.twitter.com/eimr54pef6

Rewatching the game now and there could have been at least one or two more picks.

Yea, but Stout unfortunately dropped his.

Watching the Manning cast during the first int and Jerry Rice was in he stated "that Brock had a tendency to relax and that the pass should be on a line".

I think he nailed it. Need more urgency to his passes.
