Brock Purdy the newest QB hype

Good luck, young man -- don't pay attention to Hermano and the other haters lol.

I missed the backstory on this one. Why no more NFL?

The bad takes here are wild.

Purdy and CMC almost took down the goat with little help elsewhere. Can the defense not get one stop in crunch time? Where's all Purdy's playmakers Kittle, Aiyuk, Samuel? Pretty quiet for the most part.

Purdy was making plays against the great Chiefs D. Every QB in the league was losing against Mahomes tonight. Purdy got closer than any other would have. A lead in OT in the super bowl. A heartbreaker for sure, but the offense shouldn't be criticized in any way.

Because I'm not going to waste my life on this league anymore -- three Super Bowl losses is enough for one lifetime. And because gambling is becoming a big part of the fan experience and I don't gamble. Sports media and NFL games are all about gambling now. And finally, the Taylor Swift aspect to this season was ridiculous.

I don't want this to be about me -- I just wanted to express how proud I was of Purdy. He's a good, young player and person.

Purdy didn't turn the ball over, but he wasn't even Nick Foles out there.

Part of it was the horrendous playcalling, but a lot of passes were off and to me he struggled mightily with the blitz.

Light years? Did you watch the game? They only scored a TD for the first time when they were handed it at the 10. And I could have swore it was Purdy with zero picks while Mahomes made a terrible pass for a pick. Sure he struggled against the blitz, when you do not have any adjustments to help you, most QB's do. You can say at the end of the game that Mahomes threw for 1 more TD than Purdy and had a few more yards passing, but he also had a pick- again, he was NOT 'light years' ahead- the only thing that separated him was a game winning drive. Just remember, if the kicker doesn't get the extra point blocked, there is a very good likelihood this game never reaches OT and 49ers wrap it up

You are an idiot

Love seeing people on FB that missed out on Purdy cards trying to talk people into dropping their pants on Purdy prices. It's laughable.
One guy I saw said 'Purdy now joins the ranks of the Burrows, Herberts, and Allens who have never won a SB ring'

Okay, but last I checked, rookie cards of those guys are still expensive. So why should Purdy be any cheaper? And not to forget, Purdy was top 1, 2, or 3 in just about every QB metric/stat this season- ahead of all those other guys.

Patrick Mahomes has not thrown a pick for six straight postseason games entering Super Bowl 58, per James Palmer of the NFL Network. Until last night

Purdy played a great game. 9er fans should be happy they have him.

[Jbead61]

I am not sure about that. Purdy is good but not next level good to get them to a win. Pat’s team played horrible and he won it by being an elite QB. Purdy struggled to read the defense last night and slow to release the ball.

What are you talking about? His receivers were MIA from the game. They took Aiyuk, Kittle, and Deebo out of the game- who's he supposed to throw to? He took advantage of exactly that and hit Jennings for the TD. He played as good a game as he could against a great D and a Defensive guru at the coordinator position. Purdy is NOT the reason they lost this game.

I was impressed at some of the throws Purdy made last night but it definitely felt like SF wins that with a better QB (reading the blitz better, more athleticism to avoid batted balls, more scrambling ability) which probably means Purdy isn't elite and is probably more at the 10-15 rank of QBs.

Or maybe just no QB will ever be good enough to win with Shanahan?

Oh you mean like Josh Allen or Lamar who also got beat back to back games by this KC D?? Elite guys like that? STOP. Give this KC D some credit (and stop the Purdy hate)

And how is he a 10-15 QB when he finished top 3 in every major QB stat/metric this season?? STOP THE INSANITY

Do you think Allen or Lamar with those 9ers weapons wins that game? I sure do.

There were a handful of plays last night where he looked small out there or overmatched. He's a smart guy so I'm sure he'll get way better at picking up the blitz at the line over the next few years but he's never going to improve just being small. Not hating, just calling it like I saw it.

As a KC fan, I was relieved when Purdy dropped back instead of handing it off to CMC or doing some sort of behind the line trickery to Deebo.

I think those guys were all on the couch eating popcorn watching the game with the rest of us because they just got beat by this D, that's what I think

[abovethesink]

Purdy wasn't spectacular, but he was good enough for us to win. That loss was on a lot of spread out factors. There isn't one easy thing to point to. It was a combination of injuries, luck, bad decision making, stars disappearing, and the very real strength's of KC's defense along with the inevitability of Mahomes. I feel no differently about Brock than I did going into that game. Honestly, I don't really feel differently about anything at all. I thought we would lose by a FG and we did. Both teams were who I thought they were more or less.

While that's true, it's not really an assessment of the situation and doesn't add anything to our discussion here.

I pointed out in a different thread- there were 3 plays that you can tie in a bow that lost them the game

1- CMC fumbling down near the Red Zone when they are surely going to get at least 3 pts

2- The fluke punt where it hit the 49ers foot and gave KC the ball in the Red zone because up to that point, the KC offense was lifeless

3- Kicker getting the extra point blocked- if that does not happen, this game likely doesn't go to OT.

If the above 3 things do not happen, SF are SB champs

But it does. You can't say "well if Lamar or Josh Allen was here they would have won" Those guys just played the same D and lost.

Just wondering, can you give me a list of what the major QB stats and metrics are? I'll give you QBR, QB Rtg, and TDs, but what else is there?

I am in the minority here for sure, but I disagree with number three actually. At least potentially. KC would have needed a TD instead of a FG and called an entirely different game. I would guess Mahomes just goes ahead and ends it in regulation if KC was forced to go for a TD there.

I would just toss out the old QB Rating at this point. And even with QBR, I'd rather look at Adjust Yards Per Attempt and the three percentages: Completion %, TD%, and INT%.

If you're going to bring Allen and LamJack into the discussion (which you did), then you have to put them with SF offense for the sake of debate of the QB position in the SB. You brought them into the discussion but then failed to play the game of putting them with SF for a fair assessment.

On the flip side, does Purdy even get the Bills to the playoffs? Does he get the Ravens to a #1 seed?

I mean..pacheco fumbled too where the chiefs were at the very least getting 3
