QB Brock Purdy Thread

Obviously Purdy has played for half a season and Stafford a full season. But It is pretty shocking how comparable their stats are.

Brock has played 8 games. Stafford 16 so we can easily adjust other stats to see what Purdy would be at it if you doubled his current stats in certain categories.

Stafford 42

Their numbers would be pretty comparable if you were arguing MVP. Obviously the one thing that jumps out is Brock throwing twice as many INTs. But I doubt Purdy would average that many on an entire season. Although it is pretty amazing that he is averaging that many more INTs and their Passer ratings are that close. Also these Stats are with Purdy playing games hurt and coming back from injury.

But here is where you can make the argument for Purdy.

Purdy is 7-1. With wins against the current #1 and #2 seeds in the NFC. His only loss came against a playoff team which he tried playing injured. And he still threw for over 300 yards in that game.

Stafford has Puka and Davante Adams. A RB currently with more rushing yards this season then CMC. And a much better defense.

With all that going for Stafford and still their stats are comparable. All that and the Rams have a worst record and the 49ers are currently playing this week for #1 seed. Purdy is simply doing more with less to work with.

I think that's because people look at Stafford and see all those great throwing performances all those years with the Lions.
Purdy has no such history, obviously, with any other team.

Well, when Brock came in, I mean the dude pretty much played flawlessly the first two seasons that he played in. But this is the downside about being extremely good at something, the moment ya make a mistake or two, or even three..ppl can be hard as s**t on someone. (Plus, I mean, he was the last pick of the draft after all..and he is a couple inches shorter..blah blah).

But this is the downside about being very skillful, successful and a perfectionist. I don't say perfectionism in a bad way but it most definitely could be if not mindfully balanced. Brock has this uncanny capability to have a balanced mindset (wisdom beyond his years) while still having like a type A, perfectionist kind of personality. I am only guessing here on observations.

I understand the fans who got a bit discouraged when BP hasn't had a great game or two because we have seen so many qbs come and go with the hopes that they could be the best since Young. But this guy, he's special..since his first game in Miami. Poised, not overwhelmed when he had to step in and navigated the ship that appeared to be sinking..into calm and steady waters ...then kicked some serious ass

All points are true.

Are they finally talking about Brock Purdy?

Purdy and Stafford are not on the same stratosphere. Purdy is playing great and is on the hottest QB streak going into the playoffs, but Stafford is a HOF QB with many years of success and a SB ring. Without Stafford the Rams probably don't make the playoffs. Without Purdy the Niners probably would with Mac albeit not as good.

Had it totally right until the Minshew comparison

You sure do love to make points based on nothing but hyperbole.

Guess with better skill players, OL, defense and health Sean McVay wouldn't be able to coach his Rams to the playoffs with a terrible QB like Jimmy G?

lol, doctorelle has really backed himself into a corner here. The Rams clearly have a better defense, and better skill position players, so it comes down largely to coaching and QB play. Which is the reason the Rams have a worse record?

Is Shanny better than McVay?

or

Is Purdy better than Stafford?

And that's why McVay is a better coach. Saw what he had with Goff, went out and got someone that could execute his offense to a tee. Meanwhile Shanahan went to bed and decided to draft Trey Lance to make up for missing out on Stafford.

Just pray we don't have to face LA in the playoffs. It will be an ass beating for us, then we can debate about how injuries cost us the game and McVay just being a better coach had nothing to do with it…

I'm not sure why Jimmy continues to be a punching bag on this site. He won a lot of games for us and helped bring the team back to legitimacy after it was in QB purgatory for several years. George Kittle recently said that Brock and Jimmy have been his two favorite QBs to play for. When asked why Jimmy had so much support in the locker room Arik Armstead recounted that before he came along all the team had done in Armstead's career to that point was lose so it was good to play for a QB who could actually help them win games.

Jimmy certainly had his limitations as a QB, like the lack of consistency on his deep throws and a penchant for throwing head scratching picks. He also wasn't very mobile, especially after his knee injury. He doesn't seem to throw with the same anticipation that Brock does, but he had a quick release that allowed him to get the ball into the hands of his receivers in a place where they could catch it and run, which is why the team led the league in YAC several times during his tenure. But of course, he never gets credit for that because people in here would always argue that YAC was all on the receivers and he had nothing to do with it, which is just ignorant, so what are you going to do.

Jimmy's biggest problem was missing that throw to Sanders. There are "fans" in here who will simply never forgive him for that. Even though there were many other factors that led to that loss, that throw remains the most obvious, so he's the one who bears the burden for it. The fact remains, he helped us get to the Super Bowl that year and again in 2022 when he bridged the gap between Lance's injury and Brock's rise with several wins, something for which Jones is getting praised for this year but which, in Jimmy's case, was always being credited to something else. So I say, thanks for your service, Jimmy. Sorry you couldn't bring home a ring, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Go Niners!

after he balls out infront of the world, and we are all orgasming over it, bro is doing this. Lol gotta love it.

So why with a better defense, better skill position players, a QB in a different stratosphere, do the 49ers have a better record? This season must absolutely suck for you.

You're forgetting schedule.

Is anyone concerned about Brock Purdy playing in bad weather?
