"He's always got to strive to be better in the pocket, whether that's your footwork, your mechanics in the pocket, remaining a passer in situations where you could make a play down the field," Kubiak explained. "
AND....
"I wouldn't say it's one thing," Kubiak said. "Brock's a really athletic guy. He can make plays with his feet. But are you missing an opportunity to make a better play down the field, maybe because you decided to run, or you moved a certain way, and you missed a guy down the field?
"So, it's just working on pocket movement, working on ways you can move in the pocket to find throwing lanes, and being more consistent in that area."
I agree with David Bonilla's take that Kubiak is trying to make Brock more well rounded. Better movement in the pocket works hand in glove with him being a better pocket passer and scrambler.

From Kubiak. He said he wanted Brock to improve his game by being more of a pocket passer. Starts around the 6:51 mark.

TThe know-it-all coaching staff doing what they do best: dumping on their star quarterback in public. Making sure he second guesses his instincts. Trying to turn him into somebody else. Instead of adapting the offense to the quarterback strengths and weaknesses.
if you want to find out why Purdy's performance has gone down the toilet from his rookie year it's simple: he doesn't have the confidence of his coach. What could be more obvious. Kyle Shanahan wants things a certain way and if you don't give him what he wants go somewhere else. That's the message.
Instead of working to improve him behind the scenes and allowing him the freedom to do what his legs are telling him to do in the middle of less than perfectly formed pockets, chastise him publicly and show how smart you are by telling the whole world what he has to do better to keep his job. That's Kyle Shanahan coaching. The coach is the star, all the quarterback has to do is Select from a variety of perfectly designed options in every play and the team will win a Super Bowl. What could be simpler.
Geez Louise. Here we go again. Give me the days when dirty laundry was washed in the locker room. If Joe Montana had every coaching point from Walsh broadcast for a 24 7 news cycle we might not know who he is today.
I could list more than half a dozen playoff caliber qbs who go off schedule as much or more than Purdy -- with better pass pro olines. And they dont have to play the two best teams in the NFL twice a year.
Sounds to me like the brain trust is already laying the ground work to play the blame game if the season heads south. Smaht.

Agree. He'd be a better pocket passer if he had a better pocket.

Well sometimes killing a play (aka throwing the ball away) is a positive. If you're trying to force big plays on every broken play, bad stuff will inevitably happen.
I think Brock does really good on broken plays, and idc if he rushes for a few yards or throws off the broken play - I just don't want him getting hit or turning the ball over. I'd rather him just throw the ball away at times and live for another play.
I'm a major Brock fan but i've noticed that when injuries happen to the starters - he tries to over compensate. Which usually results in turnovers. I don't mind him playing hero ball when he's throwing to quality starters (which we've missed at WR for afew years now) but not to back ups or mediocre players.

He shouldn't be playing hero ball as much as he does. He's got the Favre mentality with a fraction of the arm. We've seen him make stupid ass decisions with the ball when the starters were fully healthy it's just a trait Purdy has.

It's hard for players to change their approach to the game. Brock has been that type of QB for a long time. All those starts at Iowa State weren't sitting behind a rock solid O line. Because of his height he may actually be able to see better downfield when he rolls out.

Why can you understand this but our coaching staff can't?
