QB Brock Purdy Thread

Why not include Montana's stats against the Bears in the 1988 NFC CG and against the Giants in the regular season in 1990?

Montana's defense during the 1989-1990 back to back Superbowl seasons were never lower than five. In other words his defenses were outstanding on top of him being the Goat.

Comparing any QB stats from the 80s and 90s with stats from QBs playing today is silly. The game has changed dramatically since those days. Not just the way the offenses play but the rules have been changed to favor the passing game.

Go back and look at the passing leaders 40 years ago and you see completion percentages are lower back then and passer ratings are all about 10 points lower than those of today. The best QBs of that era wouldn't be in the top 10 or even top 20 compared to today if you just went by stats. Montana's career passer rating of 92 and completion % of 63 wouldn't even be close to the numbers many NFL QBs put up today.

As Shanahan pointed out, things in the NFL rarely work as cleanly as you want them to. Defenders disrupt passing lanes, protections break down, and receivers don't always get open on schedule. That's where a quarterback needs more than knowledge of the offense. He needs the ability to process what's happening and make the right decision under pressure.

Purdy has shown he can do that throughout his career, and Shanahan believes he's never been better. "He's at the top of his game right now," Shanahan said. "And that's saying a lot because I think he's played at a high level since he started."

From Yahoo Sports

Recent Drew Brees comments about BP:

".. if you go back and just look at his college attributes, the guy started 51 games at Iowa State. Just about every time they stepped onto the field they were the underdogs. So for all those reasons, this guy has played with a chip on his shoulder his entire career and he's had to figure out ways to win. He's just wired himself, he's trained himself, to play that way. Now all of a sudden you put a really smart guy into a system with Shanahan, where all of a sudden he's got all these weapons around him. So much of that offense is around timing and rhythm. He plays with such a great base. He's got great fundamentals. He gets the ball out quickly. He works his way through a progression well. He's got all the traits that you would want for a quarterback, especially in that offense."

Throwing against the best coverage linebacker maybe ever is gonna help your touch on throws.

I just read an article a couple of days ago (sorry no link) where it said that Brock runs every play on his laptop/computer against every coverage he can think of (cover zero, one, two, blitz, etc...) and imagines in his mind where the progressions are and where the window are. Amazing process - if true.

Isn't Brock less than 10 passes away from qualifying for the all time QBR rating?

Dude will play for 30+ years. People looking at him never think he's too old for football lol

Brock is undoubtedly the best QB since Young. If he gets a ring, he's tied with Young in my book. If he gets 2……..

If he gets that Superbowl, then he is allowed in the Officers QB Club with only Young and Montana.
