I'm fine with Brock Purdy, but....
His stats don't line up with what you actually watch on the field. Does that make sense? You look at the box score at the end, and its like: ok, had a very nice game. But when you watch it in real time, he can be very uneven and have some real slow periods. Undoubtedly he's benefiting from a very talented football team around him. I like his demeanor and football smarts a bunch. I don't know, there's just something with him when you watch compared to the stat line. JMO.
If there was ever a team that you dont need a ton of talent from the QB position its this niners team. His job is not to fuck up more than it is to make plays. He seems to understand that and it's working, especially against far inferior opponents. He will get nice stats just on RAC because of what he's got for playmakers and his accuracy will be misleading because of safe wide open passes. Not saying he can thread a needle once in a while, but its just not required very often, especially when they have a D that won't require many points to support.
I'm impressed with Purdy's quick release and getting the ball into narrow windows. I don't necessarily align with Sticky, because of what I saw on the field. Maybe I just see it differently.

He kind of reminds me of a young Tom Brady the way he methodically gets the job done without being overly flashy and making stupid drive killing mistakes.
I watched him in college and yeah he just doesn't impress you real-time, he just wins. When he was at ISU it was a fun game to watch, hasn't been the same since he graduated. He seems to have just enough talent to take advantage of the talent around him, he can put it on the right shoulders and not carry it himself.
He's not lighting it up. Through three games he has 4 TDs. On a pace to throw 22 TDs. But he's efficient, accurate and doesn't make a lot of mistakes. That's all that team needs.
He is the kind of QB that is frustrating to play against, because he doesn't do anything spectacular so you feel like you are containing him, but then again he doesn't make any negative plays, doesn't beat himself and somehow finds a way to make the play when they need it the most. He is not throwing short of the 1st down marker and doing just enough.
Purdy doesnt need to be more than a young game manager - but he's better than that.
He's got all the support on both sides of the ball he could dream of.
I hope SF hosts Eagles for the NFCCG - that'll be a doozie.
I think he has good pocket and field awareness. Not a great arm, his passes float a bit. He's benefitting from having a totally stacked team around him. Can we trade Kwesi and Kevin for Lynch and Shanahan?

It's early, but right now I'd say the Cowboys are better than the Eagles.

Can we trade Kwesi for one of those Post Malone value meals at Canes Chicken? It would analytically make sense..

We could trade him for Ryan Poles. I'm already sick of the Bears taking the North and never giving it back. It's our turn now! :p

Yeah, tend to agree. Be one hell of a NFCC game Cowboys vs. 49ers. What is it, the 80s? :p
@"HappyViking" said:You hate to make that comp, but his game reminds me of a young Brady too. For years, the media and fans tried to minimize Brady's contributions saying it was the coach and defense. While there was some truth to that, it was more Brady being clutch and getting the ball into the hands of his playmakers and not making negative plays. Purdy is doing the same thing. Now I'm not saying he's Brady, but he's doing what he needs to do to help the team win. He's a good young QB. Not Mahomes or Burrow by any stretch, but his play style fits with how the 49ers want to win.@"Montana Tom" said: I'm impressed with Purdy's quick release and getting the ball into narrow windows.

So are we saying you really can find a good or should I dare say franchise QB in the sixth round (Brady) or seventh round (Purdy)?
@"mblack" said: So are we saying you really can find a good or should I dare say franchise QB in the sixth round (Brady) or seventh round (Purdy)?You sure can. It's just that the odds are probably under 1%, so it's best not to count on it. :-)

gotta be like five or six of them?

that kind of the issue with Cousins, hes a nice QB, but not a top of the league guy, yet he led the league in money the first 4 (?) years with Minnesota, most other players that are resetting their position money are likely top 3 or so, Cousins has never been that guy, and him taking more than his share leaves other positions thin, and then you end up with a shit roster or at the very least no depth to speak of. This current mess isnt all on Cousins contract, there were others, but when you start with that big cap hit and then fold in other bad contracts and shit drafts... you end up with a purgatory team. just good enough to pick 12-24 every year, never good enough to really compete, or to get those blue chip player that can turn a roster around.
It's a combination, there is a lot of talent and Purdy is making the most of the opportunities
