49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1
- Thread starter ceeboe
- Start date
I think at this point with Purdy we're obviously assessing potential. Purdy's potential at this point seems nearly unlimited. But hardly any of that potential has been realized. We don't even know how this season will play out.
So, to finish my thought, most any assessment as to his likely career is defensible at this point because we simply don't know. But what we've seen so far is remarkable and worthy of hype/celebration.
Obviously every OC from Pee Wee to the NFL is trying to run plays where guys are open. I just think Shanahan has amazing play designs that do a better job of exploiting defenses at different stages of the protection cycle. Sure, the talent helps those guys get open but he's playing 3D chess and nobody has a chance (right now).
He hasn't really had to (yet), but I think Purdy will really **** teams up when he learns (when) to take off and run in the NFL. That's when/where Mahomes really got teams. "Hey we covered Reek and Kelce, oh **** the middle of the field is open and he's running for 20 yards". Once that happens game over.
No, I'm assessing his performance over all of the 10 games he's started. That performance has been historical.
Yes they do get open and Brock is hitting them on time and in stride.
If Brock is more of a system QB, as you are alluding to, why are not other QB's in the SF system, of late, ripping it up like Brock? CMC makes a huge difference, sure. Jimmy G did pretty well, but not nearly as proficient as Brock is now.
Why hasn't Sam Darnold, or Trey Lance performed as well as Brock in the SF system? The coaches clearly like Purdy and were more than willing to trade Lance for pennies on the dollar, saving cap space. Even with Brock coming off of a severe elbow injury and surgery.
Perhaps Brandon Allen will rise up soon and overtake Brock as the #1 guy?
You're putting words in my mouth. I think he's been really good.
Sorry. I apologize if I did. I didn't mean to and I haven't read the entire thread/responses.
I think AR is a little high here? Not judging. Maybe it’s some post surgery meds, but he seems high AF.
He does seem a bit f'ed up. lol
Gotta love him defending Ames from that mouth breather Squawk.
If he's a system QB that's one hell of a system.
