Think you also have to factor in that Purdy is injured for most of this season.K_C_ wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 2:11 pmPerch and I argued plenty about Purdy during the Kenny years and I will 100% admit Purdy would likely be better than Pickett if they were both surrounded by a star studded cast, at literally every position, like Purdy was early in his his career in San Fran.
......but.......
Watching Purdy now also tells me one important thing: Had the Steelers drafted another player other than Pickett in the first round and Brock Purdy was a late round pick by the Steelers 4 years ago PLAYING IN A MATT CANADA OFFENSE AND WITH THE CONSERVATIVE MIKE TOMLIN AS HIS HEAD COACH, Purdy would either be playing for another organization, or more likely, Brock Purdy would be out of the league altogether.
Much like Miami with Tua but for different reasons, San Fran would be ABSOLUTELY DUMBER THAN SHIT to pay Brock Purdy franchise QB money.
You're fucking high.
Purdy is undersized, with a decent arm and pretty good mobility.Deebo wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 2:44 pmThink you also have to factor in that Purdy is injured for most of this season.K_C_ wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 2:11 pmPerch and I argued plenty about Purdy during the Kenny years and I will 100% admit Purdy would likely be better than Pickett if they were both surrounded by a star studded cast, at literally every position, like Purdy was early in his his career in San Fran.

He wasn't as good as people made him out to be but he's also not this terrible as we've seen lately.

I’d say Brock has had a pretty notable career so far for Mr Irrelevant. How would you describe the first QB taken in the draft Kenny Pickett’s career? And had Purdy been a first round pick them media would’ve probably given him the MVP that year, he just didn’t fit their agenda."Not much better than Pickett" isn't a fair statement.
He's going to get paid, will continue to be great... just not their year. You guys are delusional or wishful that he'll fulfill your naysaying if you can't see he's a really good QB.Stosh-67 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 5:38 pmHe was in a perfect situation to excel.
All world RB,
Very good depth at RB
All pro TE
Top WR room with Deebo, Auiyuk, Jennings,
On top of Going WR in Rnd 1
Run Heavy offense,
with great play caller,
surprise plays, gadget plays,
power running.
not predictable
He could of had it all.
Purdy is way more than a product of the talent around him. He's a perfect fit for that offense and for distributing the ball.Pabst wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 5:46 pm"Not much better than Pickett" isn't a fair statement.
My opinion - If you want to compare him to an example of a good-but-flawed QB who was largely a product of the talent around him, the best one is Andy Dalton. Or, if you prefer the other option from the 2012 draft, Colin Kaepernick.

I think SF got overenamored with running the ball and haven't been throwing as much on early downs as they should in a season without McCaffery.
This.

Facts. His best wideout held out, then came back out of football shape and was lost for the year to injury. His top RB has hardly seen the field all year. The backup RB is on IR. The top LT has had injuries all year. Starting TE missed 2 games. His #2 WR is playing like shit and looks like he lost a step. #3 WR got shot before the season. Four of their top defenders have missed significant time with injuries or went on IR.Steeldrama wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 6:13 pmInjury riddled team don't blame Shanny for getting conservative.bradshaw2ben wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 5:56 pmPurdy is way more than a product of the talent around him.

Chief among them Purdy bodyguard Trent Williams.
Losing Aiyuk was brutal.
Deebo Samuel is fat and slow.
I like Purdy
He's no quitter Kenny.

Weird flex wanting to see an undersized Mr Irrelevant fail. Even weirder to bookmark some old posts and bring them back up two years later when the guy loses a few games with a beat to hell roster. Some people hitched their wagons to Kenny Pickett and still can’t let it go. Sad.

Oh, and he’s thrown more TD passes in 12 games of his “down year” than Kenny Pickett has thrown in his entire 3 year NFL career.
Well why didn’t Trey Lance excel with the same supporting cast? The QB still gotta make the plays. He processes better than 90% of the QBs in the league and his accuracy is up there too. Those are traits a little guy like Drew Brees played at a high level with for a long time. Not saying to give Purdy a top 5 QB contract, but they’ll be worse off if they let him walk.K_C_ wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 7:10 pmDude…..please.Steelperch wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 6:17 pmHow quickly people forget Purdy engineered two go-ahead scoring drives in the 4th quarter of a Super Bowl less than a year ago.

When Purdy engineered those drives, he had All Pros and Pro Bowlers surrounding him at literally every position on both sides of the ball.
He also has a genius level offensive mind as a head coach.
Purdy is little, has decent mobility and makes good decisions.
If the 49ers break the bank for him, which I pray they do, as they are indeed headed for one helluva rebuild, that contract will be dumber than Miami giving Tua big dollars.
Holy shit.
Kenny’s receiver must’ve slipped every route of his short and pathetic career, right KC?

Don’t forget the sun has been in his eyes and his shoes are too big.
But those are your options, unless you think Purdy is willing to sign for less than Trevor Lawrence, Dak Prescott, or Deshaun Watson.Steelperch wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2024 7:19 pmNot saying to give Purdy a top 5 QB contract, but they’ll be worse off if they let him walk.
