one thing about brock is he's gotta stay healthy he won't make many of these lists if he's injured or only playing 10 games

by that standard why would burrow, prescott or lamar make the list? they have missed plenty of time due to injuries.

true, true. well they said the list was done by someone at espn, maybe the janitor

point is these lists are dumb to begin with and the entire point of them it to generate fighting or online bickering like we see on that once good network

Lots of good QB play in the NFL right now so I can't hate on this too much. I just don't get the love for Goff. Very good QB and maybe my rankings are unique but I don't see really a single thing he does better than Brock. Maybe a slightly better arm but worse mobility and dude crumbles with poor pass pro around him or lack of weapons.

this stuff drives the pseudo sports news cycle but it's not real football, qb rankings are fake
every QB is in a different system, with different teammates, its about playing the hand you are dealt.
goff has a fortress OL and weapons all over the field, in a dome, so he should be doing well. i guess if you wanted a taller guy more prototype to drive the ball to wide open dudes while having plenty of time, goff is your man. me personally im happy with brock. brock is a lot better when the play breaks down that's where jared tends to get exposed

Goff is really the only one that irks me on these lists because he gets so much love for the stats he's put up with all those weapons but we saw what happened in the playoffs when his OL had protection issues and the coaches put the game in his hands.

Now some may look at that game and say well he threw for over 300 yards and the offense put up 31 points but 4 turnovers vs a middle of the pack defense without a serious pass rush when you're playing at home as the #1 seed...nah that's a big no no for me. Major red flag.

And the fact that Sean McVay knew Goff wasn't enough also tells me something(as did our ability to make him lose games when playing them even with inferior squads)

But yeah you're right it's just something to push the discussions until real football is back. Still...I'd rather that than more Aiyuk drama.

yeah the moment was too big for goff in the super bowl and the playoff game and i like goff being a local guy, but i think being high on these lists is more a reflection of his teammates. josh allen is a freak he's got a cannon and he's been the short yardage back on that team for like his whole career. as i look it up allen has rushed for 79 touchdowns, that's more than CMC he's got more rush TDs than HOF backs. he's in some ways a one man offense with the gun and his size, but at the end of the day it's neither here nor that for 49er football, he's just fun to watch on NFL redzone imo

These rankings are more like wish lists for NFL execs and coaches. They don't reflect actual performance. More about traits than stats. Being just outside the top 10 isn't a bad thing. The difference between 13 and 10 is probably pretty close.

Draft bias is 100% in play in these rankings. Only non first round QB on that list is Dak and he's got 10 years of throwing the ball to back up his play.

And personally I would take Purdy over him as well but I also understand people putting emphasis on consistency but I remember Dak without elite weapons or poor OL play. That's not a top 10 guy for sure.

No way to know for sure but I don't see Dak having much success in a situation Purdy found himself in the last two years. And once again his playoff performances have left a lot to be desired.

Tho I tend to put more emphasis on playoff play(not as much statistically great but can this guy handle the moment) and play when things aren't great. That's why I felt stronger about Brock being our QB after the 2024 season than the awesome 2023 one.

Brock Purdy has had an RTG over 100 in 3 of his 4 seasons. And the one season he didn't (2024) he had a 96.1 RTG.

QB ratings are a product of play design and personnel. Teams that throw a lot of high percentage passes are going to have better ratings unless the QB throws a lot o INTs. Many teams pound the ball in for TDs whentey get inside . The Niners running game hasn't been great at that so they've relied more on short TD passes in the red zone. That helps QB rating. Personally I don't think it's a great measure of how good a QB is. Too many factors come into play.

The biggest thing he's getting knocked for on these rankings is not having a "rocket" arm like most of the top 10, which is fair. But half of them are worse processors. He's won significantly more playoff games than Jackson, Herbert, Prescott and a couple others. It really is some biased crap.

yeah i'd say brock's checklist is drive the ball a bit more and stay healthy play all the games. we don't need any of these other QBs. we've seen nick foles, jalen hurts, and sam darnold win rings. brock is more than good enough.

Fans tend to blamethe QB or HC for losses when it's often a defensive collapse. The Niners were in position to win the last 2 SBs they were in but the defense let them down. Justin Herbert had the Chargers u 27-0 against the Jags and still lost. The D collapsed in the 2nd half.

With modern day rules, the defense will always be at a disadvantage

yup and that's why i say you gotta play all the games, in today's game you breathe on the qb, that's a foul

Purdy > dak, herbert, maye, goff, williams

so #6 on that list

That's your opinion. Not the opinion of other NFL coaches and GMs. That's how that list was compiled so your opinion doesn't matter as far as that list goes. Unless you're a GM or coach.

I know this from watching them both play and hearing them both talk for multiple years now. Allen is kind of a meathead and he makes bad mistakes at the worst times.

Allen gets deer in the headlights like Kap. Game gets too big for him imo. He gets too emotional, Purdy doesn't.

Yeah that backwards fumble in the Bronco game was hilarious. I know it was a bad look for him at the moment but the Bills in general aren't all that great to begin with. Allen does literally everything for that team and they wouldn't have made it that far without him.

They don't make it farther due to him also

He's literally carried that team on his back for years. I've not seen another QB in the legue carry the load that he does.

Allen is elite and the best QB in the league in my opinion. Love Brock but not in the same class.

Allen's football IQ isn't elite.

Their opinion doesn't matter any more than his opinion.
