QB Brock Purdy Thread

But this injury and similar ones should prompt the question if a QBs arm should be protected during the throwing motion. Maybe it should be illegal to deliver a blow to the throwing arm while in motion just like it's illegal to hit their legs.

It's not a year. We don't know his injury yet. Waiting for MRI but there is fear it might be Tommy John injury which if true might take his rehab all the way to June or July which is going to tie our hands in camp if late July. It should not be the year version many baseball players experience but camp and getting ready may be heavily impacted.

This is info I've heard on tv. I am not a DR or play one on tv.

If it's TJ, then he could be out a year. Pitchers who get TJ surgery can be out as long as 1.5 years.

There's a lot riding on this MRI.

It'd be interesting to know had the 49ers made it to the SB, would Brock have been able to play? If not, then what's the point.

sounds like Purdy will be fine in 6 weeks - pending on confirmation in couple of days for results of MRI

I think even if its not serious it would still be a 6 week recovery.

Let's just wrap them in bubble wrap. The defensive players are already handicapped in where and how they can hit the QB and other players. We don't need more restrictions. I say they should allow teams to carry 4 QBs with the 4th not counting against the roster. I also would like to see QN salaries exempt from the cap. Maybe all of therm except the starter. Then teams could afford to carry quality backups.
