    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    Some interesting threads on Purdy here: Cowboys Forum Some good arguments about whether Purdy is elite or a product of a system. The usual mix of erudite and psycho-hater fans.

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    Honestly the Webzone is my least favorite sports site. It's grown too big or something. They have threads that go on thousands of pages and if you open it they may or may not be talking about the subject matter, and there's a ton of infighting. And now that all the newspapers are behind...

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    FWIW, Montana's first Superbowl win in the 1981 season was with WRs Dwight Clark (10'th round pick) and Freddy Solomon, and RBs Earl Cooper and Ricky Patton. #2 in 1984 had Clark and Solomon with RBs Craig and Wendell Tyler.

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    I have always felt Purdy would not regress because of a lot of factors the detractors failed to notice because they didn't watch him play, instead relying on history of other QBs: Great pocket presence. Makes those little moves to buy time instead of panicking. Great footwork, always ready to...

    The biggest break this season is replacing Mike McGlinchey, who is responsible for a lot of the great highlight videos of BCB completing passes with defenders draped all over him.

    great article, TLDNR: Based on 10 years of data, Return to play (RTP) at a previous or higher level of performance, considered the gold standard measure of success in the sports medicine, is 93% following the procedure.

    From the 49ers Webzone, an article quoting Matt Barrows: Clayton Thorson had a 30-yard throw to wideout Tay Martin (the second-year wide receiver who was invited to rookie minicamp), and an even longer bomb to Jahcour Pearson, the Ole Miss receiver who attended camp on a tryout basis...Barrows...

    Honestly I haven't seen a 49er QB like Purdy since Montana. It's nuts to say just anyone can thrive in that system when you look at all the QBs under Shanahan that haven't gotten it like Purdy. It's one of those mystical matches between coach and player that come up so rarely. The article...

    I am TRULY old, and I remember John Hardy from the 80's. Crazy how you could be 260-270 pound NT in those days. He took part in the iconic goal line stand in the 1981 super bowl against the Bengals. Found this article on Harty: Click Here

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    Just like the US Dollar, there has been substantial inflation of QB statistics as the defensive rules have become more stringent, to the extent that quarterbacks are coddled by NFL standards. That being said, if you compare Brocks performance relative to contemporary QBs he's been startlingly...
