49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

Many people, and even some so called experts, are fixated on the hero ball QBs who make spectacular plays with their feet and arm in the last 2 minutes of games for dramatic come from behind victories (e.g., Mahomes, Allen). These are the high risk/high reward QBs who put in a great show.

These folks can't get as excited about someone like Purdy who is more accurate, more efficient, and makes fewer mistakes, so less dramatic.

I believe the game is slowly moving away from the hero ball QB and toward the accurate/efficient QB.
What would Tom Brady been considered? He seemed to do above average for quite a while.

NBA MVP almost always going to a player whose team is in position to win East/West conference or close to it. I can’t remember the last time a guy won it whose team was in just so-so position and not at least a 3/4 seed in their conference.

Not sure Tyrese truly is MVP candidate and the buzz is more that he’s just actually a top 5 player and EASILY a top ten player. For people who weren’t his fans it is happening really fast.

Jokic has been the best actual player for awhile but voters tend to move it around to several players instead of just repeating the same player as MVP (he would have 2-3 in a row). Embiid another former MVP is up there as well. If it’s pure stats again it’s Joker, Tyrese is up there, but Doncic is putting up crazy stats too. There are maybe 6 players after Joker you could look at and make a stats arguement.

If the Pacers make one or two great moves in offseason and Tyrese plays this way or better I could see him in the discussion in more realistic way next year.

I’m the opposite where I’m just now learning what an NFL MVP usually is. I had no idea it was almost always a QB. If it ALWAYS goes to a QB that definitely helps our guy. If nba mvp always went to the best pure point guard maybe Tyrese would get it even without the Pacers dominating because he is definitely the best pure point guard. Some call Doncic a point guard but I see him more as a supremely gifted positionless or wing player.

Being a bandwagon 49ers fan it’s hard for me to imagine CMC isn’t easily NFL league MVP. He looks super human.
Barring injury, Jokic will be MVP this season. The voters were scared to give him 3 in a row last season, so they gave it to Embiid, only to see Jokic completely dominate the playoffs.
 
Brock finishes 20 yards short of Seneca's career yardage numbers after today's game. 22 games vs. 64 games.
I never would have guessed Seneca played in that many games. Weren't some of those at reciever?
 
Hardcore Panther fan here (sighs because they are beyond repair for the foreseeable future) and the last person anyone should take QB advice from is Cam Newton. The dude was one of the most overrated QBs in the last 20 years.

Yes he had flashy plays and could run the ball. But what he could not do at all is throw you a 5-10 yard out when you needed to pick up that third and long. The guy had no touch, and yes he had the one Super Bowl season where everything clicked. Can’t take that away but that’s not who he really was. It’s like a great realtor. You can’t take their best year or worst year to claim who they are. Lop those two off and what’s in the middle? That’s what you are.
 
Shame more quarterbacks don't have Cam's winning mentality.

I got a chuckle out of what he's wearing. He literally looks like a clown. All he's missing is the makeup. It's just the most obvious "look at me" thing he could do.

Cam had a career completion percentage below 60%, tons of turnovers, and a very poor QB rating. He was the definition of high risk/high reward. He couldn't "manage games", which is why he's sitting on his couch criticizing today's QB's. He needs to SFU.
