Game Thread: Super Bowl LVIII San Francisco 49ers vs Kansas City Chiefs

[Black Adam]

The secret meta for successful QB's is:

A) Baseball/Softball parents
B) Play baseball to forcibly learn arm angles

Good thing for pops then I guess...

Mahomes seems like a decent guy but his family seems rotten - he might want to consider pulling an Aaron Rodgers and going low contact with them, they are just dragging his name and image down.

True on all counts.

I fully believe the 49ers top to down have the most talented team in the NFL. They got here purely on talent alone.

Purdy's job is to just not fuck it up but he has made plays along the way.

There is at least 25 QBs in the league that would do better with this roster of the 49ers.

It's definitely true that Purdy is in a great situation with this team's coaching and roster. It's also true that he isn't the most physically impressive QB. However, I think you're overlooking the most important part of being a QB, the mental part of the game (vision, processing, timing, and anticipating when his receiver will be open). Purdy is very good at the mental part, and I don't think there are 25 guys who are smarter than him. Maybe only a few.

Amdy Reid needs to trade his son for Mahomes Sr.'s son. Both are beyter fits elsewhere.

It's just coors light, but beer nonetheless.

He is on the road to trouble.

i can tell you first hand he was a pretty darn good shortstop.

Plus, Purdy probably has the much more chiseled physique. LOL.

 

[Robotech]

I believe it.

 

[broncosmitty]

Wish he would sign with the team that drafted him.

Even if he’s kinda chubby, has a homely wife and a drunken dad.

That’s total bullshit IMO. There are definitely NOT 25 QB’s in the NFL better than Purdy. That is just as absurd as you calling Purdy “trash” a few weeks ago. Purdy is not a “system QB” or whatever garbage you say, Purdy is a stellar QB, he was one of the best QB’s in the NFL this year, he’s definitely in the upper half of NFL QB’s, and I would say he‘s one of the top 5 in the NFC. You don’t get to the Super Bowl with a bad QB. If Purdy and the Niners win the Super Bowl will you acknowledge you are underestimating him?

In the NFC the only QB I'd take over Purdy is Stafford at this time.

I would listen to an argument for Love but I'd like to see if he can do what he did in the 2nd half of the season for an entire season.

Hurts would be another guy I'd listen to an argument for but he only had a decent year and his play down the stretch was mostly really meh. Was it due to coaching or did he just regress in general or maybe a bit of both? We won't get that answer till next season.

Dak would be an easy pass for me. Don't care what his stats are as he's proven time and time again to disappear in the playoffs and in big games.
Goff just needs to clean of a pocket to function and his effectiveness goes way down the muddier the pocket gets. Don't get me wrong a pass rush impacts all QBs but it just seems to impact Goff anymore.

Guys like Cousins and Mayfield are alright but I wouldn't take them over Purdy.

And pretty much everyone else in the NFC isn't even worth a discussion.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

In the NFC, there are only 5 veteran QBs in the mix that are in the upper half and only one is really great and that is Stafford. Borderline HOF resume. Dak and Cousins, I think we all know what they are at this time. Will win you a lot of games and put up great numbers but the ever growing narrative about the spotlight in play-off games has merit. Goff has talent but relies heavily on that great O-line play and a clean pocket. P/A helps but small hands and inability to escape pressure are his problem when facing a defense that can shrink the pocket quickly. And Kyler Murray in that mix. Will always be small, no getting around that but a dynamic playmaker when he's on his game. We may see a Russell Wilson fall off when his legs are gone.
Then Purdy is in the mix of youngsters with Love, Hurts, Fields. Can maybe make a case for Hurts but honestly, he benefitted from the same things that people knock Purdy for and this year hurt his case. Love looked great down the stretch but as with Purdy last season, let's see more than half a season. Fields is a fantastic athletic freak and has talent out the wazoo but I'm not sure he has the ability to become a good NFL QB between the ears. The game is just too fast for him and by now, we should have at least, saw some improvement in that area.
To me, right now if I'm looking at all the QBs in the conference, probably Stafford is the only one I would for sure want over Purdy and Staff is getting close to the end of his career. Does that make Purdy great or elite? Of course not, especially considering all the guys in the AFC, but it does make him a fuck of a lot better than the stupid narrative surrounding him. The entire talking point is based solely on draft position status. We will see how his career plays out but he has proven enough to say he's a legit NFL starter and better than a lot of other guys out there.
