Agreed. No insider knowledge here but I'm guessing the 2/3 vs 1/3 cuts are from the royalty, which is probably in the 10-15% range. So if Brock's jersey sells for $120, the total royalty might be $12-18, and Brock might get $8-12 of that.

Both X and Pettway were more of a catch and run/beat you by running a great route type receiver than they were jump ball guys. I’d actually say the only weakness in X’s game was how bad he was on jump balls/controlling the ball going to the ground.
Would you expect those two to make a circus catch with 2 defenders on them over the top?
They weren't 50/50 ball guys.
The surgery lance had was just to remove hardware. In the grand scheme of things that is pretty minor, will not slow down his recovery. I have had that done. It usually is either planned or done to increase range of motion back to normal after healing. Not a lot of recovery directly from that surgery, just continuation from original surgery/injury.
Purdy is the week 1 starter next year unless he has a really bad game in the playoffs and Lance clearly outplays him in the pre-season. Otherwise you don’t mess with this, regardless of how good Lance looks in practice and how much they’re paying him.
An old article but it was just brought to my attention. Made me wonder about our S & C program and if we are hurting players.

How Brock Purdy developed and gave the 49ers hope - Sports Illustrated
The 49ers’ new starting QB was considered undraftable, but he reinvented himself for the NFL in ways no one had considered.

Worth a look - this SF writer breaks down Brock's "misses" vs. the Raiders.
Dude sounds like my wife assessing some of my decisions with perfect 20/20 hindsight. I tell her "you hurt my feelings" and she says "you have no feelings". Of interest is the fact that none were intercepted. Yeah, he had a good not great game. He will learn. Bottom line they won.
He was assessing his skill as a potential franchise QB for the 49ers. Totally fair and honestly a huge complement that Purdy is getting analyzed as a potential franchise QB rather than just a fill in. Might be more exciting to me to hear than all the videos hyping his good plays.
I get your point which is valid. If you, in fact, get more excited about analysis of why a play did not work rather than see the plays that worked, Sportscenter is not your go to channel. Purdy is far from a proven polished product and has been fortunate that some of his weak throws haven't been picked off. But that's why they are DB's instead of WR's. If he doesn't get dinged up, we will find out his true potential in the play offs as the D's and their coaches prepare for him. I will be surprised if SF goes far but it's been a Hollywood story so far so who knows.
I meant more excited for Brock's future. Seeing critical videos like this just shows that people are not viewing him as just a flash in the pan.
I'd rather see good highlights for entertainment of course.
If the guy can only identify 5-6 plays that are "bad" in a road win, that's not bad. Every QB misses. Every QB misses reads. If Kittle gets turned around a second earlier and makes the adjustment a bad throw becomes a good one. If that goal line defender is a millisecond late Kittle catches that ball for a TD (still looked like the throw may have squeezed through to Kittle and bounced off him). The thing with Brock is that much of the time he is throwing into coverage he attempts to place the ball where only his guy can get it. When it doesn't work or the receiver can't make the adjustment, it looks like a bad throw. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. The thing is that the downside is usually an incompletion and not a pick.
Today, Purdy was on KNBR, the 49ers flagship station in San Francisco, for his first interview with the morning crew (Murph & Mac). I used to listen to KNBR every morning when I had a desk job. It's rare I get to tune in these days, but I randomly did this morning and heard Purdy would be on. Fortunately, they save all their segments to listen to online. Just look for the date of 1/3 and Brock's name (if accessing this later than today) on the list of their podcasts.

PFF or Football Outsiders tracks things like turnover worthy plays. Every QB has at least a couple a game. A 7th round rookie making only a handful "bad" plays in a game is actually pretty good.
The guy is a total Purdy supporter - was on the "Brock > Jimmy or Trey" bandwagon after maybe 2 games. I don't think it's too harsh; I certainly think Brock would say he could do better.
What a month for #13.
Sure, but this seems like the ultimate in nitpicking. If Brock had enough snaps to qualify, his ESPN QBR would rank 5th right behind Tua and ahead of Dak.
That one to Kittle on the sideline was discussed on NFL RedZone as it happened, and the thinking was it could have been QB/TE not on the same page regarding route as Purdy was expecting a back-shoulder pass placement but Kittle turned into the defender.
