QB Brock Purdy Thread

Solid Game by Purdy, he played better than what I was expecting. The best thing from him that I saw and lots of others as well, was the no turnovers. He made better decisions this game and made great plays when we needed it, especially on the money downs. Good game for him to build on from now on til end of season. Lets hope this Purdy shows up more than the latter and he improves every game.

Also the Dougie was solid as well.

the WIN was not a surprise... it should be that easy if not easier !!

GO NINERSSSS !!!

I agree, we all know he can put it all together. Let's start with no turnovers and running the offense efficiently. Arrow up yesterday

I don't know why you won't give Brock even an ounce of grace due to the injury. Just because a guy is a full participant does not mean that he's not being impacted by injuries. Puni was a full participant in practice every week, but still noticeably struggled the first half of the season and most would reasonably chalk that up to his knee injury. There are countless examples of guys being limited by injuries that didn't keep them from practice.

We'll never know to what extent the toe injury has affected Brock either mechanically or just from a rust or timing standpoint, but I see nothing wrong with giving him the benefit of the doubt.

You can't really compare going up against a bad Ravens defense to playing the Browns defense, who are a lot better. Burrow, even when healthy this year, barely threw for over 100 yards against this same defense. We also can't really directly compare their toe injuries. Just because the injuries seem similar doesn't mean their recovery has been the same.

Because he himself said his foot is fine. If he couldn't play at the level he thinks he's capable of playing he wouldn't be out there…the coaching staff wouldn't let him out there, especially with a capable backup and all they GTD cash on the table.

Puni never said he felt great and my knee is fine lol.

And you're right you can't compare all injuries because Joe's was MUCH worse. Grade 3 turf toe is not what Brock had. There was no surgery for Brock.

At what point do we stop giving grace to every single injury a player gets? It's the nfl and every player is hurt at this point…how good can you be when you're not 100% is more important than how good you are at 100% because you're NEVER gonna be 100%

Im tired of the blame game for players all the time...just call it what it was, a s**t game and overall inconsistent play for a considerable stretch. I'm glad he put together a good safe game and made some plays, we need more of that and hopefully he CAN put together more of that because you can't use the word great for a player that's not playing great consistently.

That was my favorite play of the game. They'd been shutting the run down all game but Kyle kept with it and ended up BURNING the Brownies.

I still maintain the issues with his accuracy in the Jags game was cuz of the toe. I think we made a major mistake in rushing him out there for that game and it impacted his performance and led to more time missed than needed.

If Mac plays or even if Martinez has to start...obviously in hindsight we lost the game anyways but maybe Brock is closer to 100% sooner and hell...maybe Pearsall doesn't injure his knee stretching out for a wide pass.

But now, he's playing well enough where the injury can't be used as an excuse. Maybe at the end of the year we find out it was keeping him from playing his best but given how he's moving around and even his accuracy(not many high passes even in the Panthers game) I think we can stop using the injury as an excuse. He played like ass vs the Panthers but clearly that secondary is better than we all thought and his issues on those plays were timing with a hint of accuracy. Not injury based IMO.

Hopefully the bye week only helps him further(as it does the rest of our guys). We need to use it well for rest, recovery and re-energizing the team to make a run. We have what should certainly be a cakewalk situation after the bye but then we may as well start our playoffs early and I certainly hope the team will approach it as such.

@Colts on MNF will be a tough one...especially if we show up with a run defense similar to what we put out there part of the game yesterday.
Bears on SNF will also be a physical battle. They're legit even though I didn't want to believe it. Physical football in primetime...let's hope we pull that one out and stay healthy doing it.
Seattle - if we take care of business vs these other teams and Seattle beats the Rams in their matchup this could be for the division. Going to be an epic test before the playoffs start.

Let's just win out!!

Awesome read, manipulation, and throw by Purdy here. All of this with a man basically free rushing in his face, need more of these!

@Colts will be the toughest game in my opinion. Bears have played a pretty easy schedule but did look impressive vs. Philly.

Something to keep an eye on that I stumbled across last night while looking for strength of schedule based on current records. ESPN has a "Football Power Index" which takes into account net points and SOS. Niners are currently 9th overall.

I think the Colts game will actually be easier now, since Jones won't be as mobile with his injury. They were extremely dangerous because of his mobility when he was healthy, but with this injury I feel hes more hesitant to run and now more of a pocket qb which takes away his dual threat. Also add in the Sauce injury he might be out when we play them. They started 7-1 but they're 1-3 the last 4 games with the arrow pointing down, heck they might not even make the playoffs after leading the AFC at one point.

I will give you the jags game, I don't think he was close to 100%. He himself needs to understand that though. If you can't throw an accurate ball then tell someone, instead of costing the team a W.

Hopefully we can get some other guys good enough to get out there and play down the stretch, Brock has to play more consistently and we will have a chance every week.

I agree with NY on the injury issue/excuse. Hes healthy now and needs to start playing like the Brock of old and better than that if possible.

My understanding of the Jags game was that Brock said he felt good going into it, but then reaggravated the toe at some point. I'm not sure professional athletes are as willing to act in their best interest where injuries are concerned as you might think. They've probably all heard the Wally Pipp story.
