QB Brock Purdy Thread

Only question is , no matter which surgery is done, how does Brock's elbow function post op? The old dictum, "no surgery makes things better than they were originally" is key here, but the good news is that for TJ surgery , in-game forces are not the same for pitchers vs Brock's situation.

That is the key question, and one we will not know the answer to until BP can actually play again. Hence, it would be foolish to set any plans on the basis of Purdy being able to be Purdy again by the start of the league season. "Plan for the worst and hope for the best" is the dictum that makes the most sense for now.

March 15 is the next critical window. Until then, we are all guessing/hoping. By the start of FA signing, we will know what the surgery actually revealed and have a better idea of his return time. Until then, let the rumors fly.

Will he come back with a stronger arm?

Tommy John surgery usually helps pitchers come back with a stronger arm. I'm not sure why there's so many posts saying the opposite. Most pitchers who get Tommy John it actually helps them. It's strengths that ligament even more.

does it even matter?

QBs should just get Tommy John to improve their arm power, even if it's not needed. Maybe Jimmy can look into this.

If he gets the surgery he's back by training camp and the season. It's not really that bad. It's not Tommy John surgery. Probably hurry up these 2nd opinions. But eventually it's going to come down to surgery. The sooner the better. Because the 6 month clock starts now. Right when he gets the surgery. In the end I think they can fix it and he will be fine. I hope for the best.

Trolls are hall monitored like crazy in the Jimmy thread. Yet none of those hall monitors say a word when Trey (or literally any other player or coached) are trolled.

And most people that criticized Jimmy allowed him to play for years before coming to a conclusion on him…the people s**tting on Lance hated him from day 1 with little to go off of..they was no allowance to grow and develop. It had more to do with how people talked about Jimmy after the fact with those people. It was personal to the Jimmy truthers and not just about football.

Injury helped us discover Purdy, injury will help us develop Trey. I think Trey can be a guuuud 'un. Once Brock is 100%, we'll have one hell of a QB bullpen.

This.

IF IF IF Brock will get back to 100% of what he was then this injury helps us.

We need to find out what Trey is for real...ie getting more than three starts as NO ONE can know what he is after three non-consecutive starts and being very raw in the first place. Well I want to know and see with my own eyes over a good chunk of games if Trey can get the job done. I think he can but do not know he can and want to see it. We should still win games even if Trey is not lighting it up since our roster is stacked - and if Trey is not performing well we can go to Brock mid-season and make another run.

Problem is the injury to Brock hurt us in the present as first we might have won the SB and second we needed to see if Brock could get the job done when the stakes are the highest. Now we don't get to see if Brock would have won that game and lost a chance at the SB :(

TBH, not much data when it comes to football. It's a very rare surgery for QBs.

Maybe if we bring in Gronk.

Meh so many unknowns but that's how it is with injuries. Sucks because Brock & Kittle seemed to be the next Joe & Jerry. 😕

No reports of nerve damage as far as I know. The fact that he felt pain is a good sign of that, in my non medical amature view.

Yeah I mean permanent nerve damage, I would think, in my non med view would be if the nerve was severed or extremely compromised. My guess is inflammation and that feeling would come back when it goes down. Wish the drs touched upon that more in their report.

No news is good new, i.e. they didn't mention it - then maybe it's not a big a deal as the torn ulnar tendon. At least that's what I'm hoping.

Agree with all of this.

This sucks man. We finally have a franchise QB the entire fanbase can get behind and he gets injured and will be out of commission for a significant amount of time. This was suppose to be a off-season where he can get better like improving his arm strength, etc now he will be rehabbing and MAYBE be ready by training camp

Very concerning

You can look at an injury positively or negatively. Don't ignore the positive. Without Jimmy going down, we don't get Bosa. Without both Jimmy and Trey going down, we won't know we had a diamond in the rough in Purdy. I think Purdy is going to be elite after this is done. Tommy John surgery or regular surgery, I think his future is bright, and so is the 49ers. Just need to get through this period, and it's now Trey's opportunity to shine and hopefully he'll be the 2nd diamond in the rough we will discover on this team.

Terrible news for Brock and the 49ers. Was refreshing Twitter all morning and finally gave up around 11ish and told myself I'm not getting worked up about it - he's gonna be ok - a few weeks and he'll be back. This sucks - same feeling I had when Lance went down in week 2.

How can we possibly have such terrible luck with keeping our QBs upright.

Well, don't leave a back up tight end to block Hassan Riddick, maybe?

What could possibly go wrong?

I dunno the removal of Playactoin from the west coast offense?

I think it was supposed to be MM and the TE to block Reddick on that play. For some reason MM shifted over and blocked no one.

Boy, if that is true I wouldn't bank on MM being here much longer.

That's not surprising Tbh. MM Is either getting tossed aside like a ragdoll, or he's blocking the Invisible man.

Yeah, they likely would have mentioned it by now I am guessin. Man if they just did a different call with that play, a quick handoff to CMC or something & that specific contact he had wouldn't have happened. I believe the 9ers would have won the game. I expect Philly to lose in the sb
