Ball placement suffers when you're under constant duress.

Can you name a QB who would have looked better with no run game, a collapsing pocket on every play, slow WRs, and a defense that couldn't stop the other team from dominating the TOP? We got whooped by a better team, not because Purdy failed us.

I don't believe you watched the game.
Nothing he said was wrong. Did YOU watch the game? All these burner accounts come out on game day

I watched it and he was throwing it high or behind his receivers all night long.

we GOT no speed at WR... and the WR with speed we draft, Shanny loves to keep them on the bench and let them go..

Mid-tier QB that can get hot for some stretches but against real defenses we know he won't do it.

It is what he is and that's no bad because most QB's are mid-tier but the issue is that we overpaid him.

Matt Stafford threw for 130 yards and 2 TDS on that defense with his staring OL in place, Puca and Adams playing and his RB averaging 7.6 YPC.

It happens.

It slowly did early on... Brock had the usual 2.5+ seconds QBs are expected to find someone.

If Brock didn't wait for the digs to be open..maybe a bunch of quick passes underneath would have brought the lbers closer... and that would have opened the middle.

There was on play where Brock left the pocket a sec early as his WR was breaking open in the middle of the field. I believe it was off a play action.

The drive at the end where CMC dropped that INT was the only time I saw the OL giving Purdy some time to step into his throws.

The vast majority of the game he was having to get the ball out too early to avoid a sack. Shanahan needed to adjust to that and start calling plays that got the ball out immediately. The slower, mid level routes that need time to develop weren't going to work tonight, which is why Purdy couldn't get anything going.

Because he had to rush his throws. Because the pocket was collapsing early. Because the OL sucks.
Philly D is going to tee off on Purdy.

There were a handful of high throws, three or four, the one that Robinson jumped for on 3rd down while moving two yards back in from the first down stick, was probably on Robinson for coming too far back towards the LOS. The ball that turned into an INT that was behind CMAC was tipped at the line which certainly redirected the ball. Certainly wasn't a great game from Purdy, but again, and I can't stress this enough, he was under near constant duress and had a mountain of s**t to overcome considering how the whole rest of the team played, or didn't play because of injuries.

Sometimes you just have to tip your cap to the better team, which Seatlle clearly was. The game, honestly, had no business being as close as it did.
Purdy sucks

100% correct JCS.

Purdy didn't belong on a pro field, I despise that mental midget.

I strongly encourage you to adjust how you evaluate players…and how you label them.

That's Frodosfinger. A Seahawks troll. Surprised he's not talking about fudge packing.

70% completion tonight. There just wasn't anything there. Driven backwards in the pocket by poor OL play, so all his momentum is moving away from the LOS. Nobody open that Seattle didn't mind being open. Mostly minimal gains.

If you were watching this game and thinking Purdy was playing bad, you don't understand how football works. Hate to break it to you.

Agree with you.

People are funny. They expect Jennings who has turned into a complete p$$y (had a drop), robinson cast off from another team because they didn't want him, kittle (hobbled from the ankle and had a drop), mcaffrey (dropped into a interception) and is averaging 3.7 ypc to carry this offense.

Not to mention with no oline investment.

All of our draft prospects and rookies on offense shanahan doesn't let play. It's literally a timing offense with 0 speed players at any position...

Yet purdy still gets 70% completion percentage throws no picks, no fumbles and runs and makes multiple plays. But he's the problem...

I hope he's ok

Just cuz you watched the broadcast doesn't change anything. There were guys in the lanes almost all game long. It's incredibly short sighted to make claims like that without going back and checking each play to understand what happened.

Regardless when you're being pressured consistently accuracy tends to get throw off. Yes there were throws Brock missed but I can guarantee a lot of the throws you're complaining about were made out of necessity. Dude had to complete jump passes out there at time and you're in here like he's standing in a clean pocket and just missing for the hell of it.

Or Brock chose to stick with them too long?

I think that is why the check downs didn't work as well.. by the time the ball got there (and when it did, it wasn't as accurate as usual Brock), the defense was able to blow them up or limit the positive gain.

Pressure is a reality of being a QB...missing throws and ball placement is an issue he's had over the last couple of years and it was bad tonight. This isn't the first game where he's struggled with the high ball or throwing behind.
