One good long throw. He has far more terrible long throws and they're almost always under thrown.

I think you've nailed it here. So much with Brock appears to be with his feet. When he can gather and get his feet under him, he's pretty accurate. You get him off of his spot and it becomes very hit-and-miss, with more miss than hit.
It's timing. For whatever reason Brock is always holding the ball longer than he should. The DE's have been focusing on keeping him contained which makes timing even more important. He's not really a pocket QB.
I'll never forget the incomplete pass Rattler put on the money to his tight end during the CCG last year. He was running for his life and dropped it exactly where he wanted to 30+ yards downfield and it should have been caught. My god, that's why people see him as a #1 overall pick. I can't think of any pro who can do that right now (I'm not as big of an NFL fan, so I'm sure that guy exists, I just can't think of him).
Probably holding the ball longer because none of our WRs can get seperation.
Or he can't see over the lineman? Receivers haven't been all world but there have been open receivers he's missed.
I was responding to a post that said that was an example of his lack of arm strength. There are plenty of examples. That wasn't one of them.
"Getting the ball downfield" doesn't necessarily mean 40+yard deep balls. Purdy has shown in the past he can get the ball 15-30 yards downfield over the linebackers and occasionally past the safeties.
8 pages of this. Look, Brock Purdy isn't freaking Patrick Freaking Mahomes. But he is pretty darn good, and he is our guy. Of the problems this team has, BP's performance is maybe in the top 10, but probably not.
He has some limitations. He has some strengths too. For him to reach his peak success, the staff needs to coach/scheme around those. More RPO, less deep outs. More runs to the edge if teams crowd Charlie in the middle. Better protection so he can set his feet. Gotta call his number some (and I hate designed QB runs). Better success running the ball so play action is more effective.
It feels to me like the staff has been developing him to be more of a pocket pro style guy, and idk if that is best for his success. I get adding skills to make him better and more "multiple", but BP is more like a Russel Wilson or Lamar Jackson type, needs to be allowed to improvise a bit and run around. Generate some controlled chaos, that's when he is at his best.
My $0.02.

Hard to get open with these routes and the QB slow on reads with an average arm while staring down. We’ve been a no separation passing offense for 6 years. Systematic issues, all starting with Manning (and CMC).
Go back to wildcard, dual-threat Purdy. He’ll make mistakes, but he’ll make those as a game manager too
Yup, absolutely. Spencer Rattler and Patrick Mahomes are the only 2 dudes I can think of at the moment that can do that. Russell Wilson comes to mind too but I'm not sure if he's quite there.
Regardless, Purdy is not nor will ever be them.
brought this up in another forum but will give my thoughts here.
if purdy's shoulder is still bugging him.. why not look to dekkers this week vs. KU and allow purdy to rest and get right for the next 2 weeks.

Brock is hitting 70% of his passes this year, better than any year so far. there are so few misses that they are more glaring, and he has been on the wrong end of a few tipped balls. I think our route trees are off, we do not seem to be able to scheme our WRs open as much, and our Oline still hasn't been able to put it all together. That said Special teams has been the Achilles Heal of this team and until we are able to shore that up, we are going to have to rely on winning excruciatingly close games.
Plenty of blame to go around, but the o-line is playing below average which is the biggest issue right now for the offense.
At some point you throw them open or trust a route. If you're waiting to see them open and then throw you're going to be waiting and checking down a lot.
