49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

Host of “The Gym” on KGYM 1600 in CR from 3 to 4 today said Purdy won’t win NFC ROTY…. and that he basically is just benefiting from having Kittle, McCaffrey, Samuel, Ayuik, etc.

Pretty much didn’t give Purdy any credit at all. This is exactly what ISU fans despise about all these radio shows…. so slanted towards Iowa no matter what, and always slighting anything ISU. It’s BS.

Every great NFL QB has had studs to throw to and RBs to carry the ball.

I think his biggest problem for ROTY is the number of games played.
 
If he doesn't qualify this year, will he be eligible for the rookie award next year?
He is eligible for the award this year. I think the comment about not playing in enough games is in regards to his stats not being as impressive as rookies who have played a full season of games.
 

I will go ahead and say the part that Eisen didn't say. In addition to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" look at who you have. Brock has done everything Jimmy did to the same level Jimmy did it. But in addition Brock has added mobility and creativity to the equation. If the play didn't work the way it was drawn up or pressure blew things up Brock could move and buy time and he could improvise with the time he created. Jimmy has been rarely (if ever) been able to do this on a consistent basis. With Brock it is like they have Jimmy who suddenly figured out pocket presence, mobility and turning nothing into something.

That is why you continue to play Brock.

When it comes to next year everyone can probably agree the chances that Jimmy would be back are pretty much nil. So you are looking at Lance vs. Purdy. The question boils down to does this system value consistency and making the play vs. a stronger arm downfield. I think that anyone who really looks at what this system is about realizes that it is all about distributing to the great playmakers in the offense and keeping on schedule. So does a big arm with a .549 completion percentage make more sense than less of a downfield arm with a .671 completion percentage in this offense? Does a 5:3 TD to INT ratio make more sense than 13:4 in this offense?

As a side note, I was surprised to learn that despite Brock's speed being more in the area of quick first few steps rather than top end speed, Brock dropped a better 40 time at his combine (4.84) than Lance did (4.92).
 
I just think it's hilarious that everyone in the Twitter universe has shortened Brock Purdy's name to "BCB".
Why BCB? And I'm a Cowboy fan and think I would root for Purdy to win, but guessing as the game went on I would root for the boys to win. Especially with the history of the 2 teams. Either way is a win though.

It's tongue in cheek. They throw events for Mr. Irrelevant every year before the season. That pick gets more shine than most. Some of you are taking it too seriously.
A lot of people raised in the “ribbons for everyone” era with easy to hurt feelings. I guarantee the title is not bothering Purdy a bit. Might even be continuing to motivate him. The title is for fun because someone has to be last and after this year, it will be even more publicized.
