Brock Purdy

Lance gonna get a chance no matter what Purdy does, it just may not be in SF.

Yep, but the fact he's barely played football in 3 years and has played so little since HS, I think he's going to have a short amount of time to show something. He'd be a major outlier if he succeeds at this point. Trying to learn how to be an NFL QB with 1 year of college, at the level of competition he played in college, and just the lack of reps over years, it's going to be a big surprise if he's a good NFL QB.

I think it's more likely he's an NFL backup than a long term starter. Had the 49ers done something different with those 3 firsts, they may have been a legit dynasty, or at least a team that makes a few SB's in a few years. They still might, given the wide open NFC, who knows. They have a top roster despite squandering 3 firsts.

Mentioned awhile ago… I’m still traumatized from sitting on my hands and not even trying to acquire Kurt Warner after the Trent Green injury and Dick Vermeil crying about his terrible luck (OH so many years ago!)…

Not saying Purdy is going to become Kurt Warner, but… I have him… just in case.

I picked him up FCFS on waivers as soon as Jimmy G. was injured. I'd already lost Lance, and then Lamar. Now it feels like I have to hold him because how things shake out in San Francisco in 2023 could be a little wild. I figure Lance will get every chance to compete/start. But what if the 49er's go and win the Super Bowl with Purdy?

Weird times.

Full disclosure, I lost in the semi-finals with Brock at the helm. It wasn't his fault though. My opponent put up an incredibly high score, and he actually had a pretty decent game.

I've been known to pick up the HOFs before they retire (finally had a share of Randy Moss that way), but picking up Kurt Warner because Jimmy G got injured is weird, even for me...

You know I'm talking Brock.

I’m feeling pretty safe now in saying that Lance has started his last game for the Niners… Purdy is just building in confidence and gets beter every time he goes out there…

[Lumps]

He isn’t perfect but I really don’t see how he isn’t starting for them next year.

As an ex Packers fan, I’ve seen some demolishing defeats against the 49ers with Jimmy at the helm. Every time I was screaming at the TV that he isn’t even throwing 5 yards downfield.

This is different and Purdy has the ability to extend plays that Jimmy doesn’t.

Will he ever be what Lance could have been? No. But I don’t think it matters either.

At one point it was mentioned that BCB had 9 plays of 18+ air yards or more.

I mean, what else do you need to see? Did you all see that crazy good play that Aiyuk dropped at the goal line? omg.

[Dynos]

is it crazy to think about taking him at 1.10 in my rookie draft?

It would be crazy to not take him in the top 3 let alone 1.10 in SuperFlex. Other than maybe Bijan, you'd be gambling on these rookie QBs going to lesser teams with mediocre to bad weapons "hoping" they hit their upside (which is pretty much the numbers Purdy is putting up now). A seamless fit in an explosive offense with smart coaching, phenomenal weapons, a strong o-line and a now weak division. He has looked better than Jimmy G ever did and the notion that Trey Lance could compete with him next year is a joke. Lock this kid up. I'm clearly a believer.

[MEuRaH]

Lol yup. The Steve Young comparison for a 7th round QB is

Who compared Purdy to Young? Saying he’s the best QB SF has had since Young - which is what I saw - is not any kind of a comparison to Young. Some people just love to make up others’ opinions here in order to stir up something that never existed in the first place.

Ok cool. I also disagree he's the best QB since Steve Young. Now what?

For what it's worth, I said "49er QB", not any QB. You thought I said he was as good as Steve Young, then you thought I said he was better than any QB since Young. Please read my words correctly as I typed them, good sir.

If you still disagree with that then I'd be curious to hear which Niner QB you'd say is better. Garcia is the best since Young probably, though others might think it's Garoppolo. Do you not think Purdy's career trajectory will surpass both of them? I do.

Yeah, the problem is, if he slips and fades, once people have more tape, next year, his leash will be short. That is the risk. He's still a late 7th round pick. He needs to maintain his play for quite a while to outlive that. Top 3 is too steep right now, for me. He played really well, but Seattle's D stinks, and Deebo, Kittle, Aiyuk, CMC, it's a great situation to help a young player. He may just be that guy that has it, despite the weaker arm, but I'm not putting him that high yet.

So it's not "crazy" to not have him in the top 3, that's pretty hyperbolic, IMO.

I didn't record it, but every former player and coach said 4 weeks worth of tape is what you need to truly evaluate a player. Everyone has that by now and they still can't stop him.

If Trey Lance was doing what Brock is doing and having this success, everyone would be praising him. The only thing that's different is the number "262" that's attached to his name so people are hesitant. They are also touting the skills of the rest of the offense and Shanahan.

All that is true, but a player and team can both be good. Does he not pass the eye test? If Purdy was a 1st round pick, wouldn't that change your opinion of him immediately?

He was a projected 2nd rounder if he came out in 2021. It's not like it's a giant leap imo. BCB is legit.

question why do you call him BCB?

I never said you said these things lol... The irony here man... I know you said 49ers. I disagreed. I think Garcia, Smith at times and Jimmy G were all solid QBs who had shown way more than 3 or 4 games of Purdy. I hadn't seen enough from Purdy to say he's the best 49ers QB since Steve Young.

That's really all there is to it. He's good but I wasn't ready to crown him. Getting closer though, if that makes you happy lol
