QB Brock Purdy Thread

It all starts with the O-line. Yes Purdy does tend to hold onto the ball too long. I won't make excuses but he does need to stop playing hero ball and take what the defense gives him.

The hero ball thing hasn't been an issue for a long time and hero ball isn't likely to be a thing if he doesn't fee like he has to play it that way.

It feels like people watch the game and if the ball isn't coming out quickly they just get lazy and claim he's holding it cuz he's trying to play hero ball…no sometimes there isn't a good spot to go with the football and you have to play that way.

Thing is we want to get the team to a level where that's not needed. Receivers getting open, OL blocking well.

Fast forward to your last sentence, that's why I said I don't want to make excuses. Purdy does need better WR's and blocking. I agree with that. Let's hope they fix a lot of holes on offense this offseason.

Purdy needs to be better at getting rid of the ball quicker.

Stafford got rid of the ball quick and they had some success

Stafford gets rid of the ball faster because he has receivers who can get off the line and separate quickly. Pearsall is about the only guy we have on the roster right now who has proven he can do that and he was hurt all year. Upgrades at that position are definitely in order, whether it's through the draft, bringing in free agent, or having Watkins or Cowing emerge.

Purdy needs to learn to make the adjustment and take what the defense gives him in these critical games when his guys struggle to get open deep rather than stay looking for the big play. So times the as answer is to just keep the ball moving.

I actually think that lesson has sunk in with him a little this year, but the fact remains a lot of Kyle's offense is designed around those short to intermediate throws over the middle and our receivers just aren't getting the separation they need even on those. My major takeaway from the last Seattle game was Brock standing back there trying to find someone to throw to who was open and then having to run for his life because he couldn't find anyone. Kurt Warner did one of his Study Ball videos (stupid name but decent content) on that game and was pointing out how bad most of the routes were that were being run when we had been reduced to having Jennings, Bourne and Robinson as our wideouts.

Brock is the least of our concerns on offense. Give him Kittle back, for at least one more year, and some decent WRs and an explosive RB and I think you will see a huge improvement in the team's ability to move the ball and score points

I'm having a hard time saying Purdy is anything other than a mid QB at best.

The guys saying he needs all stars to do consistently will are proving to be right.

This guys not it

Originally posted by ninersrule4:
He's a mid QB. He's an NFL starter but he's not top 10, he's not elite, he be needs things to go right. He can't pick a struggling team up and will them to victory like the great QBs can.

This team still has yet to find a franchise QB. Haven't had one since Young.

Absolutely spot-on.

He is nothing without the supporting cast. I hate that it's become abundantly clear.. the haters who said this have been proven right..

Originally posted by ninersrule4:
I don't know why people couldn't see this after last year's play. I like Purdy. Seems like a good dude. He's definitely a NFL caliber QB but he's far from a franchise QB which is what this team needs now the defense isn't elite and the offense lacks explosive players. Everyone is old. Kittle, CMC, Trent, Juice.

Future is bleak, he never was a franchise qb, nor is he the answer , he will not win a superbowl IMO, with that said to me, we still need a qb

I don't see a competitive man with fire anymore. He legit doesn't even look upset when he's soiling himself on the field.

he looks like the Manchurian candidate out there. Jesus

Laughable. Lynch should be fired just on that contract alone. I detest Purdy for knowing he stinks and still bargaining for Josh Allen money. Get that bum off the franchise I live and die for.

Keep making pointless commercials you no good SOB

Worst thing you can do to prove a point is take someone's comments from the gameday thread. Raw emotions while in the moment do not necessarily equate to how one feels about a player or coach. I've posted numerous times in gameday threads that Kyle called a great game or make a great call. And I think he sucks balls at head coaching.

Nah f**k that. I stand by what I said. Not sure what receipts this goober is saving but I must have missed Brock lighting the league on fire the last week of the season and in the playoffs. Dude is a decent QB. He's a starter but like many who aren't complete 49ers homers have said he's not an elite QB. He's far from it. Hope and pray JB becomes available.

Then WTF is Justin Herbert? He didn't do s**t against NE and Seattle's defense is scarier. Brock had a practice squad for a defense backing him up and he still beat the defending Super Bowl champions. Didn't see Josh Allen or CJ Stroud make it past the second round of the playoffs either. And both have far better weapons and defenses backing them up.

It was an interesting review of how discombobulated our offense looked.

FWIW, Josh Allen's WRs sold him hard twice at the end of ot in that Denver game...anywho carry on fellas..

Seems like you did miss something...

Considering Purdy did exactly what you claimed he couldn't do in those receipts saying he needs all this help...while he dropped 5 TDs in back to back weeks. One on a defense that without Deforest Buckner held Seattle to 0 TDs and the other game where he started with a pick 6 and his defense gave him almost no help after that until the very end.

Using his performance without his top players against one of the best defenses in the game who had a rest advantage is pretty comical when you have those two games preceding that. Not to mention Purdy was far from the problem against Seattle in each game and did everything he could to get us points.

Also there is a difference in calling a QB elite and saying he's mid. There are maybe 3-4 QBs who are elite in the NFL right now. Purdy isn't one of them but that doesn't mean he's mid or not top 10.

Yes the Bills got robbed, And not that it would matter much but Seattle was getting away with a lot of holding and the refs were nitpicking the s**t outta the 9ers. In the end the 9ers just didn't have enough impact players to beat Seattle's defense.

Seattle kicked our ass so it's whatever...but you do understand sometimes not calling something that should be called makes a big difference right?

We lost a SB because of this very reason. Or per your take it was simply 5 vs 4. No big deal...

Sure it can but the objective is to not have to rely on a whistle to win a game. Seattle certainly didn't, they beat us by 35 points. We lost the SB because our HC/OC got figured out to close both games despite being up double digits twice in the 4th Quarter.

Kyle needs a blowout SB win to get it at this point....he doesn't seem to have the ability to close tight games.
