49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

[Cyhig]

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.

Purdy, Tua, Goff, and Dak are "managing" their teams to a combined 38-14 record

Just finished my Pro Bowl fan vote; Brock is the leading NFC QB right now. votes can be cast at NFL.com.

I am traveling on the west coast wearing my cyclone stuff and I’m getting a hilarious amount of Purdy comments.

I don’t think I’ve mentioned it but I was training in Kansas City in August and the guy sitting next to me was a 60ish year old from Boston. The first thing he asked me about when I said I was from Iowa was Purdy. He seemed to be mostly an nfl guy but was obviously not a 49ers fan and he knew enough that Purdy was an an Iowa State guy.

I could only get through part of that. Basically, Sherman stuck up for Brock during the other weird ass, nuanced opinions, correct?

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.

I don't really understand the term "hero ball" when referring to QB performance. They're either good or they're not. Good QBs take risks, they have to. Favre, Rogers, P. Manning, ..., even Brady and Montana, all threw into coverage and got picked. Any who take risks without reward or for personal glory (hero ball?) don't last long.

Louis Riddick Disagrees With Cam Newton's Assessment Of Brock Purdy | 12/13/23​

A great counter to the Cam NONSENSE Newton. Don't listen to that idiot. Watch this one.

I've always liked Riddick's perspective.

Jimmy GQ has good backups?

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.

Just remember he was called "Scam Newton" for a reason - and that was a nickname he earned not even in the pros, but in college.

He dropped some bull s*** bombs on live TV.

This is gonna be a FUN weekend!
Expect BP to light it up.
More Niner fans, than Card fans? Yep.

If only the many thousands of Brock fans in central Iowa could watch it.

I guess I'm missing something, re: "coverage of Niner games."
Watch all their games (ANY game) at a rural NV casino (Direct TV subscription).
Can't the same be done in Iowa, given a bar owner subscribes to DT?

 

[jctisu]

Shame more quarterbacks don't have Cam's winning mentality.

Oh that hurts to see that again. The game could have still been won and he bitched out.

Just watched highlights of Purdy from this year and ISU. It appears he throws much harder now than when he was at ISU.

Some stat geeks breaking down next week 49ers game and basically it turns into a discussion about how Purdy's advanced metrics are off the charts and he is getting even better as the season goes along.

You can, I think NFL Sunday Ticket is only like 80 bucks for the rest of the year. I intend to watch every snap of his career.

Good for you. A lot of Cyclone fans aren't as fortunate when it comes to leisurely spending money when Christmas and a bowl game trip are a few weeks away.

Throws at least 5 mph faster now. Makes a difference.

The $79 NFL Sunday Ticket requires a minimum $72.99 monthly subscription to Youtube tv.

Can buy a lot of drink at the bar for that.
