QB Brock Purdy Thread

Hmm I see. Wondering what they would do to repair it. It would make sense if the approach was different if it was contact vs a stressed injury but a complete tear seems like a tear is a tear is a tear no matter how it happened. Idk I guess that's why there are doctors to figure out stuff like this lol.

i think trey starts, maybe brock comes in later if trey stinks

No offseason reps for Brock and will be rehabbing. I think Trey starts the season, with Brock waiting in the wings, if he's ready and Trey struggles.

Jimmy G will be starting next year until Brock is fit. Lance proved he wasn't up to the job. He is No3 on the depth chart if all 3 are healthy.

Lance, got hurt. He still has a last chance to prove he can cut it.

On another team with a different offense. He would be perfect in Brian Daboll's offense

Yeah, but I think they're going with Jones.

I really appreciate Brock Purdy. Hate to see the news that his elbow injury is serious. I will be pulling for his recovery and eventual return. He was one of the more inspirational players to come along in a long time and he seemed to mentally have that "it" factor like we haven't seen since Montana. Bummer, but here's to a full recovery.

Think team is the most snake bit ever at QB. I can't believe how bad it is.

I think what really effects the repair is how jacked up the ligament is.

The reason traditional Tommy Johns sucks is they completely remove the Ligament from the elbow and graft in a ligament from a cadaver (they remove the elbow ligament from a dead person) then they coax the elbow to grow blood supply to the new ligament. That takes a very long time (for the timeline of sports) sometimes multiple seasons. Like I said earlier, my buddy had it done...it was 2 years for him. He is not a pro-athlete....but there are plenty of pro-athletes that have taken even longer.

There is at least two medical centers that have changed procedure and have guys throwing baseballs again at 10 weeks.

The upside to TJS... there is no more wear and tear baggage on the new ligament. So Pitchers in baseball normally come back stronger then before the surgery. It can be a win-win in baseball.

It has not happened often enough in Football to get a real baseline on what current medical advances can do for Brock, but from what I was reading this 6 month number might be possible for Brock.

Whatever happens, I think this will be telling for Football, I expect Brock will work his tail off to come back better then ever. In years to come people will refer back to Brock for how you come back from a complete ligament tear, or why you can't come back the same from a complete ligament tear.

My money is Brock will be fine.

At least this year.

Dude is a monster.

There dudes out games... missing time with sprained pinkies, and then there is Brock with a completely torn ligament telling coach " Sure I can go out there, but I can't throw the ball more then 10 yards...call short passes if we can..."

Brock's personality is unbeatable. Brock is not the first dude to play hurt.....but it is rarer to get that tape it up and go mentality from QBs. Especially in this day and age.

I don't know if I have ever had more admiration and respect for a 49er player's willpower and moxie.

Purdy's mentality is special, more than his arm. I hope he regains enough functionality that, in time, he can continue this story. It would be a such a shame if it cuts short such a promising career. He had a Montana-like cool that we haven't seen since ... Montana, and probably never before that. But I'm going to be optimistic, because what's between his ears did not get injured, and he never had a cannon for an arm. Hence his Mr. Irrelevant status that made such a mockery of the scouting profession. They still can't measure between the ears.

Door is open for him, with Brock hurt. I'm not sure he can do anything to keep the job, they just might be waiting for Brock to get back healthy.

Not for long I'm afraid

Bring on the wobble

this idiot on my FB

1) At what point, and under what condition would we know if Purdy will require TJ surgery?
2) If he doesn't need TJ surgery, is 6 months a reasonable time frame for him to start practicing? Or is it one of the cases, where he can start his rehab at that time?

For all that has happened over the last 48 hours, no one can deny that over the last 2 months, Purdy has shown again what natural football instincts can do in playing QB, and for a moment brought the joy back to QB'ing back to SF. For all of that, thank you! BP. And, hope to see you light it up shortly. Keep your head up!
