QB Brock Purdy Thread

That's a pretty crazy accomplishment but not exactly something that excites me for a QB. Plus we know the boxes for Frank were stacked most of his career.

However this is why I won't bash Allen for his mistakes. Brock has his share so it's hypocritical to give one guy crap while overlooking those for the other.

Allen is able to do things Brock will simply never be able to do. Partly why it feels like the Bills don't give him as much help, essentially the "Josh will make it happen"

Regardless I'm very happy we have Brock and Kyle. They're a great marriage and I'm excited to see what they can do this year. I just pray the rest of our guys stay healthy cuz I thought Stribling would be a huge addition. Already losing Pearsall sucks. We need the other guys to stick around and ball out with Brock making right decisions and spreading the ball around.

Because of his size? Examples please? (I said I was giving it a rest lol but it's fun to chat it up about qbs).

Brock is about the size of Drew Brees, has similar play style, would one say Drew Brees could never do some things Allen does? Drew developed a keen sense of pocket awareness just like Brock. Making size a non factor really.

If it's dual threat, Brock has that too, he just has to utilize it more with the legs at times. Also, what Brock may 'lack in arm strength', he definitely makes it up with core and lower body.

Allen is likely a physically stronger dude due to size and it could be an advantage when trying to rush for yards, scrambles etc. Brock can rush and scramble too, fast. Maybe not as fancy looking as Allen but he can do it. Yes, Allen is taller, he can see things that Brock may not be able to but I would still argue, size isn't too much of a factor.

Brock has done more in big games than Lamar, Burrow, Josh Allen, Herbert, Lawrence.... There are maybe Three QBs who have proven to be better/more clutch than our guy. It is amazing that 30% of our fan base is against this man.

My concern is, the last few times I've seen Brock run down field, that he doesn't slide feet first. He kind of slides awkward and it might get him hit. I'm wondering why the QB coach doesn't work on him to slide feet first. I will sleep better when he starts doing that again

I don't think 30% of our fan base is against Purdy lol but at the same time, I think people still hold out giving him the praises he deserves. Maybe due to that Mr. Irrelevant cloud people put above his head, maybe cause of the talking heads out there, maybe it's a fear of being wrong, maybe cause he just isn't 6.5, 237 lbs?

I definitely agree with that! Brock definitely needs to slide more, it's when he goes head first, is when I start to worry. Guy is an animal, not afraid of being hit but safety first.

Just a quick note on this and then I am passing over it, are we still mentioning gender in sports in 2026? If it was the d--size comment, well, I hesitated with that one lol but in my defense, tankle has said similar-"it isn't the size of prize but motion of the ocean." Or something like that lol sorry tank to use you as an example lol

I do think it Allen had Shanahan, it would be game over for the AFC. I feel Shanahan would keep him balanced. I do think Buffaloes defense has been a problem for a long time and they struggle to get that right.

I don't think Allan would ever have a Shanahan, unless Shanahan tanked the season. Kyle's too good a coach to get an Allen. Allen is round 1, pick 7. When was the last time Kyle had a draft pick that high?

However, Kyle did draft a guy named Kurtis Rourk, who almost had the kind of measureables of a Fernandez Mendoza (round 1, pick1). If anything, we already have a Josh Allen 2.0 waiting in the wings (in my irrationally optimistic view) with Kurtis Rourk.

On redraft, Brock Purdy would have gone round 1, pick 1, in the 2022 draft.

Personally I love Purdy but would have to think about it.

No, but I would trade Mac Jones for multiple 3rd rounders! if we can only get one 3rd round compensatory pick if we let Mac go in free agency, I'd at least want two or three day two draft picks or three or four day four draft picks.

As for Brock, why would anyone one to trade a future hall of famer in Brock Purdy.

I don't see myself as putting down Josh cause I would rather have Brock under pressure. I didn't say Josh wasn't cerebral at all(maybe that was pointed towards the other poster?) just that Brock is more so imo. Josh is definitely talented, no question, nobody looks forward to playing against that guy. Can I just say I prefer BP under pressure?

Why is it automatically a put down when comparing qbs?

To say Allen makes dumb decisions in pressure situations isn't putting him down, it's just stating documented fact. He's gotten better over the years, but it was a big problem early on in his career. There's a huge difference between being a great athlete throwing a football and being a great quarterback.

Every year this situation comes up "would you"… for Joe, for Pat, for Lamar etc

yet there's one constant, Purdy

He's the 49ers QB, and this is a 49ers fan message board.

You cracked the code!

well my slow friend..

it's a little more to that than just he's the 49er QB.. he's thee QB
As long as injuries stop coming down on us, I think we can easily be 7-0, at worst 5-2 by the bye week.

all games can be loses, it's the nfl, but the only one that worries me is the Seahawks game. Hopefully by then we have Mykel back. That'll be a massive boost to our D line.

if we can start 3-0 in division games, that's huge.

I feel you are more likely to get injured by going feet first. You are really an opening yourself up to get nailed. Yes you will get the penalty but I prefer health over 15 yards.
