How is that any different than any other QB? They all have bad throws. They all have some luck. Just because Brock hasn’t gone 25/25 every game doesn’t mean he hasn’t been really really great. And if he does throw an interception at some point, it doesn't cancel out all of the good things he's done.

Every QB has 1-2 bad throws per game; even Brady against the Cowboys. Don't hold BP to a different standard than any other QB.
I mean Dak had another 2-3 throws that should've been picked too. Happens every game.
I don't think either of those balls that he threw that were near picks were bad decisions. He missed the deep throw to Aiyuk by a little bit, but it was still a one on one matchup and if the worse happens they end up with the ball inside the 5. Aiyuk did his job and played defender when the ball was thrown a bit behind him. The other one was a tipped ball at the line, and those happen. Really for his size he hasn't had a big issue with tipped balls. Conversely Daks turnovers were just bad reads on his part.
The nitpicking on Brock is so weird to me. Go look through the stat lines of all the QBs this week. Burrow was the only one that looks a lot better than Brocks. And the Dallas defense is really good. I feel like if Brock had thrown for the TD instead of McCaffrey running everyone would be fine with his game.

On the surface... it doesn't make sense to me that any team decides on the next season starting QB in January.BP already the named starter for '23-'24 season in SF.
NFL rumors: Brock Purdy has won 49ers' 2023 QB battle over Trey Lance
Barring something unforeseen, Brock Purdy reportedly will be the 49ers' starting quarterback when the 2023 season opens.www.yahoo.com
This article is from the Des Moines Register but I picked it up off of Yahoo. It sums up how well Brock did according too numerous sports writers across the country.
What the NFL media are saying about former Iowa State QB Brock Purdy after Sunday's playoff win
Praise for Brock Purdy's poise amid adversity, references to a 2019 Big 12 thriller and more. Here are some reactions to the 49ers quarterback.
I literally said he's been great but hasn't eliminated his bad plays and has been a little lucky. I know all qb's have luck. I think he's maybe had more than average luck on this epic run to not have those bad plays turn into turnovers or game changing plays. I'm not holding him to a different standard. The post I quoted said he's eliminate those plays and I thought it would be interesting to talk about how he still has some of those issues which means he can play even better. Which is crazy to think.
The nitpicking is occurring because what is happening is so unbelievable that people's brains can't comprehend it.
nice write up with Purdy and quotes from campbell
But he's never going to eliminate his bad plays because NO ONE can do that.
I hate that I love Kittle so much now. Dude is hilarious and likeable!
He's been much more likeable since he and 49ers got humbled by the Chiefs in SB LIV. He was approaching douche level 9000 before that.
I think Brock's best throw was to Aiyuk to convert that 3 and 16. Hung in the pocket and threw a dart on a timing route that kept a touchdown scoring drive open.
That and the nice pass to Jennings at the end of the first half to get in field-goal range.
I just love to picture Kirk having to deal with him at Iowa. With as much as Kirk hates any player with a personality Kittle had to have driven him nuts.
Shouldn't it be a brat, or a ft. long dog or something? I mean seems more fitting than a burger.
