when shanahan was qb coach/oc in washington he was really good with the qbs like griffin and cousins so when picked a qb out of it nowhere does,nt surprise me
....watching
boy, the left side of the line had some issues too, at least from the plays that JT picked. Highlighted some of the accuracy issues we saw as well. Still, overall a solid outing.
Very good point on the Oline. They were having issues when faced with multiple rushers. Too many free runners. Still Brock stood there and delivered the pass. And did it pretty well.
Something i saw on Youtube which I haven't noticed..............opponents have been blitzing Purdy since LAST season. Blitzing by all opponents at a higher rate than NFL average. This season the blitzing has only been carrying over and it makes sense, what's a defense to do? Defenses pick the lesser of the 2 evils and pressuring Purdy with mixed blitzes, makes more sense than letting him scan and throw.
Didn't see that you had already posted this... thought JT's comments on some of the scheming around the 18 min mark were intriguing...
Yeah... it's totally a "show me" league right now. If Purdy continues to perform as he has, and develops even more (the dude is still less than a season into his professional career), folks will collectively get onboard. Anyone who has watched the 9ers for a few decades can see with their own two eyes that Purdy is the best QB they've had since Jeff Garcia. Probably even better than Garcia. When I listen to a lot of the former-player talking heads (the guys who have played the game), for the most part, they say he's a stud. I take a lot from that. Former players know fakes when they see them. There are a few former-player critics, but they always seem to say the same thing - "let's see what he does when the team is down by 7 with 3 minutes remaining."... which is fine, but with the body of work he's put out there and the games that he's played on the schedule, he's already crushing it. So I discount that take a little bit. The body language of his teammates tell the story too. At the end of the day, he's directing the SF offense at an elite level given the positions they are actually in. If they don't want to call him "good", I could give two shits as long as the team keeps winning with him at the helm.
Really REALLY good numbers, he's making it look easier than it is. Its been a long time since i felt confident in each pass he throws. Not since Montana and then Young.
People will continue to find every reason to nit-pick what he's doing - even when the facts don't demonstrate the story they're trying to tell.
