BROCK PURDY: for real or fools gold ?

[Ya Digg?]

Yesterday was the first time I have watched him play, and I just was not impressed. No zip on his passes, and if the guy wasn’t wide open he couldn’t complete a pass to him. He also panicked several times as he was scrambling around, giving him virtually no shot to make a play. I’m not sure if this happens every game or if he was just off, but he just seemed very meh to me.

 

That being said, his scrambling did lead to a couple of touchdowns and he had several completions when his guys were wide open. Can he bring the team back when they are down 10+ points? To me that’s the question

We will see next couple weeks here

 

shanahan system is amazing no doubt

 

kid may have something with him, but I think against more solid defenses he’s going to struggle in the playoffs

 

i have them in the NFC so maybe not till they play us in Arizona

Btw. Niners have QB 4 yr contract pick #262. Virtually a free QB!  
opens up a monster roster

How the Cheatriots in New England were built years back.   The successful mostly get a leg-up from somewhere...

I actually remember him at Iowa State. They were rarely on television but I remember the game and he sort of wet the bed after a ton of early broadcast hype. Then he fell off the radar. Anyone know if he was injured or did he decline?  When they said he was Mr Irrelevant I thought to myself ‘oh yeah, I remember that kid’! 

[Straight Hucklebuck]

He looks good to me.

 

He gets rushed, he escapes.

 

There was a throw in the first quarter to Aiyuk over a linebacker that hit him in stride.

 

Nervous backups can’t complete passes, they checkdown, they throw interception, hold the ball and take sacks. 
 

Purdy just makes plays and is more mobile. They’re better with him than Jimmy G.

[The Firebaugh Kid]

McD would stifle him.

the issue is their qb1 is Trey lance not jimmy g 

 

It’ll be interesting to see how much he has to do to get an actual shot at the job. he’s winning but not showcasing elite tools in the bits I’ve watched. 
 

im not a big lance guy either but they invested big.

"Over a linebacker" makes it sound harder than it was. Fred Warner was sucked in DEEP to stop the run. He was nowhere near the ball. Aiyuk was wide open. That's what CMC has done for them.

 

At the risk of making this an Edmunds thread, that's one play after which I immediately thought Tremaine would probably be roasted by some fans here if that was him. But it was Fred Warner, who is regarded as one of the best, if not the best LB in the league.

Makes sense, if Fred Warner played for the Seahawks.

Here’s a game for ya. Brock Purdy vs Skylar Thompson in 2021. Breece Hall had almost 200 yards rushing.

Tre Lance has started games, same coach, their offense has never looked this good with him there.

I think Lance is done.  He’s played one season of division 1-AA football and that was in 2019.  He’s played almost no live football since then and he’s coming off a serious injury.

[TwistofFate]

Purdy is for real.

which if they think he’s scratched out would leave them looking to add even another qb on top? You can’t go into the off-season with Purdy as your unquestioned QB1

Why not, especially if he leads the Niners deep into the playoffs, which seems likely?  I’m not saying Lance won’t be on the roster next year; I just don’t think he’ll ever be a starting QB.

Ok… maybe it could seem exaggerated, but i really hate Brock Purdy. 
 

I hate the fact that people talk about him like the next Tom Brady. 
 

Will this Purdy circus-bandwagon end soon or will i have to tolerate this long time ? 
 

Can’t stand his fake-baby face any longer… and his raucous voice while at the snap count. 

 

🤷

 

Purdy good story imo. San Fran is a stacked team with great coaching, no wonder all 3 (completely different) QBs flourished in the system.

 

Give the kid some credit. He has not folded to the pressure of a super bowl run, less than a year after being the last pick in the draft. He may not be elite, maybe ever, but he's playing well now and deserves the kind words he gets from the talking heads.

 

And he's in the NFC. So no direct conflict. Weird person to hate right now. But people hate Josh too, so........

Yeah, he's really put the clamps on Josh Allen...

When Lance was upset because SF re-signed JimG, he nailed his own coffin shut. This league does not tolerate bad teammates very well, nor his wimpy mentality.

 

Not to mention he was severely outplayed by a pedestrian Garropollo and Mr Irrelevant.

 

Either way I expect an open competition between Lance and Purdy next year, so Lance better buck the ***** up and ball out or he's about to be a backup.

[Low Positive]

Brock Purdy was a 4 year starter at a major college program. In his sophomore year, he threw for almost 4,000 yards. Yes, I had to look this up.

I don’t even think it will be an open competition. Unless he completely falls apart next week, I think Purdy goes into camp as the solid starter.
