Steve Young talks about current players in the same way he would speak to them directly to their face. Its respectful and real ... and great advice for those willing to listen
Steve Young brings enormous smarts, experience and player based empathy to his analysis of the Niners. Fair and perceptive, unlike so much of the click bait media. Great player, great commentator.
Dudes gotta start practicing with a glove and be able to use it when conditions demand. He’s been struggling situationally in my opinion all season and he’s overthinking too much and trying to hit certain players and not making the best decision given down, distance and time of the game. Discouraged given this has been his first full off season.
Steve Young had mostly Ricky Waters as his running back and he had no John Taylor unlike Montana who had all three of those guys plus quite a few defensive guys not that freaking Steve Young didn't at some points but they weren't the same
I just love listening to Steve Young evaluating any 49er player. He is the expert. Not only was he a Legend as a QB. But he is an excellent teacher knowing all the in's and out's. Purdy needs to listen to what ever he says. Both him and Joe Montana were awesome for a reason. Highly skilled, record breaking QB's in their prime and coached by awesome coaches. Bill Walsh, George Seifert, and Jim Harbaugh. They were all great. (In that order) Both QB's learned a lot from them and became two of the best QB's ever. I like how Young see's the potential greatness in Purdy. Any perceptive fan should also. I lived in the bay area from 1979 to 2020. I saw the best years and will always be a 49er Fan. I want to see Brock Purdy lead them to the Super bowl and win. The new team deserves it. Last year was great but close is not a time to celebrate yet. This year sucked. All Niner fans need to hope Purdy and the other star players heal up and are together to finally go all the way next year. Don't give up on Purdy. He is still young and learning. It's not easy to be the 49er QB and also be the next Joe Montana or Steve Young.
@@Traditional_Maybe -- Try THREE. - Steve Young went to the Super Bowl three times with the San Francisco 49ers, winning each time. The last time he was QB and the other 2 times he was back up for Joe Montana. --- Both QB's still hold records. Also...Steve Young won the NFL Most Valuable Player (MVP) award twice, in 1992 and 1994: 1992: Young was named NFL MVP and NFL Offensive Player of the Year - 1994: Young led the NFL in passing with a 112.8 passer rating, and was named NFL MVP again. Plus in 1995 Young was also named Super Bowl MVP in 1995 after leading the 49ers to victory over the San Diego Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX. He threw for a Super Bowl record six touchdowns in the game.
@@Traditional_Maybe Dude...he was a skilled and frustrated back up QB. (He wanted to play and was ready) He was still part of the team. If Joe ever got hurt Steve was there to take over and kick some ass. There has never been as good a QB with a that good Back Up QB.
@@Traditional_Maybe - Would you like to see some of Steve' records? Steve Young Holds many NFL records, including: Highest passer rating in a career (96.9) Most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a career (43) Most touchdown passes in one Super Bowl (6) NFL's most accurate passer with a career completion percentage of 64.28 Led the league in completion percentage for four consecutive seasons (1994-97)
I think the division thing with two teams that run the same offense was a lot of yesterday. Rams Defense know the 49ers well. Brock played bad but so did the O line and the WR's.
I agree. Yes, Purdy could play better in rain. No, he's hardly playing horrible. It wasn't like balls were sailing over WRs heads. Honestly I thought Stafford looked much worse, especially in the first half (how many near INTs did he throw?). Purdy definitely has room to improve there but I think he will over time. Dude seems very focused.
Stafford also should've had 3 INTs but hey if it doesn't show up in that stat sheet people just forget about it, the rain affects every QB but since it's Brock he gets ridiculed for it, sadly 🤦🏽♂️
No excuses, this is a home game rain or not, Stafford is in his 30s and didn't throw any costly int unlike brock. Purdy is not elite and has reached his potential the nfl has figured him out.
Steve knows the game AND knows how to explain it. If you just simply listen to him, he is spot on in his analysis. He isn't down on Purdy, but is a fair and honest evaluator and has great advice for Purdy and the team overall.
@@Mrcandles312 They said he was a reckless loser who couldn’t get on the field. Walsh saved his floundering career. He beat the haters and Brock will, too.
I agree with Steve, Brock needs to work on the rain game, that’s what you do to get better. Gotta find the answer! Get a big sprinkler in the middle of a field and start throwing passes in the water, something! You’re in the big leagues now, time to work on your negatives and turn them into positives!!!
I agree. And I truly think he will. I don't think money will change Purdy. I think if anything, he'll want to justify it. I'm still very encouraged by this guy. Sophomore slumps happen to all sorts of QBs. He's had musical chairs at WR all season. I think next season will be a big step forward for him.
@@user-xnr yep,👍. He’s still very young and learning a lot. He’s got gd qualities, just needs to hone in a few things. Just be smarter throwing, you don’t always have to make the big play, just move the ball down the field. 🏈. I love it when he rolls out, to either side.
Purdy is amazing...He is still young and has yet to peak . Purdy is 23 or 24 . Purdy was without his starters all season . Purdy will get us #6. Its going to happen. Franchise tag him before any other team gets him . Sign and lock him in
Exactly. Read this also about him. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is a capable deep ball thrower: 2023 stats: Purdy's 2023 deep ball stats include: 66% completion percentage on passes behind the line of scrimmage Second-most touchdown passes over 20 yards Second-highest passer rating 2022 stats: Purdy led the league in deep touchdowns and completion rate, and ranked first in the PFF passer grade for pass attempts of 20+ yards Efficiency: Purdy is efficient when throwing the deep ball, and some say he's pushing the ball downfield better than ever Willingness: Purdy's willingness to throw deep has helped change the 49ers offense Arm strength: Purdy's arm strength has proven doubters wrong
@@travesotom6890 Are you even capable of reading? Above you is my comment with actual stats of Brock Purdy. Read it...then shut up. Your opinion is meaningless and uninformed. Sorry.
@Soggy_Potato21 You can't "Peak" when you are still healing up from a shoulder and an Arm injury (And surgery) Brock can still improve by doing 3 things. Strengthening his arm muscles, healing his arm and shoulder and fine tune his actual passing by both practice and advice from experts ...like Pro QB Steve Young. He needs tips for throwing a wet football...ect. As a 24 year old QB with only 2 yrs in the NFL, he can still learn and improve. What he has done proves how good he can be and his potential. He is for sure worth keeping and training more. I think he can take the 49ers to the Super bowl and win it. (If he and the team can play like last year and the other great players are healthy.) He has had one bad year...that's all. Mostly because of missing key players but also from his arm not being back to the perfect condition it was before the injury.
Kyle needs everything to be perfect for his system to work. He leaves very little room (or willingness) for adjustment. Brock Purdy is the perfect quarterback for Kyle's system. As such, he also needs everything to be perfect to produce at optimum levels. In each case, if something is off, whether a member of the offense is injured or the defense figures the scheme out, the 49ers are cooked. Steve Spagnolo, for instance. He has the 49ers figured out. He has KYLE figured out. Until Kyle learns how to adjust in the game, or we get a coach who can, nothing will change.
Kyle needs to look at the history of the Niners. They are know for creative and ever changing plays. (Even a few trick plays.) Learn a thing or two from the BEST coaches they had. (Bill Walsh, George Seifert, and Jim Harbaugh) I wish Kyle could read this.
All of the above…and also they knew they’d see a lot of man coverage this year Brock said it the day after the Super Bowl they planned for it they drafted Pearsall specifically because of it…and then half the team went down
Honestly I still think Brock can get it done. This year has been crazy from all sorts of injuries especially in the RB department. He lost his primary WR in BA although we seen JJ step up big time. We’ve were missing both greenlaw and Huff those guys are all pros. So the team in general was down not all brick’s fault. This will be a blessing in the long run as this team is getting old quick.
The fact that there is a large majority of fans who continue to point out that its “not all brocks fault” is putrid, cause very few have made that claim. Its much easier to defend Brock by explaining that its not all on him, than to explain where he has regressed and what he needs to improve upon.
Not to dwell too much on the past, but Brandon Aiyuk was a major factor in the rest of the offense successful play. When BA and Deebo were on the field together who was always open? EVERYONE!!!!
Purdy and Aiyuk also just had a great connection-BA was Purdy’s favorite target even though he and Jennings have been great I don’t think he had that with any receiver this year
I remember Candlestick becoming a muddy disaster when the playoffs rolled around and it killing so many 49ers seasons with Steve. Probably would have another ring or two if not for that.
Purdy is amazing. Even with that loss, he is still between top 7 and top 10 for QBR, Passer Rating, and passing yards. That means he is ahead of at least 22 other NFL QBs in the most important metrics.
I think the Super Bowl loss and the contract holds hurt the chemistry of the team. Also paying max dollars also hurts the depth of the team. I also think the coach firing the defensive coordinator after the Super Bowl also didn’t help.
You are right about Jerry Rice and John Taylor but wrong about Joe's arm. Remember the awesome perfect pass for the historic CATCH. (In the Dallas playoff game that got them into the first Super Bowl.) Joe launches it to Dwight Clark in the endzone with 3 other Dallal players near him. Joe purposely puts it so high that only Dwight Clark can leap up and pull it out of the sky...catching it to win the game. I personally got to meet Dwight years later and talked to him for over 10 minutes about "The Catch". It was no fluke or coincidence of a throw or a catch. Joe and him worked for that exact play dozens of times, and they used it when they needed it. Joe's arm was strong, accurate and even powerful on the long throw when he had to do that too.
@@cjsimmons6535 It wasn't real long but it was very precise. Way over the heads but still in a spot where Dwight could jump high enough to grab it. -- It was awesome to watch. Over the years though I watched Joe throw several Hail Mary passes with resulted in a catch and a TD. (Those were real long passes.)
@@problackbayareaplaya Purdy deserves to be cut some slack. 1) He is still only 24 and still improving., 2) He has suffered 2 injuries so far. 3) His numbers were great last year. , 4) this year sucked due to all the injuries of many important players being off. -- If you don't like Brock...spare the rest of us your comment. This video was great because Steves opinion is better than any person who is just a fan (And not a famous QB.) His advice is right on the money.
Guess we need a topic for the experts to talk about. But if you're a true football fan and can be honest, Brock Purdy is not the only Quarterback struggling this season.....
His only 2nd full season this year but of course this year his tools aren’t working… come on guys give Mr Irrelevant who for some reason is RELEVANT TO CRITICISM… weak people criticize and STRONG PEOPLE BUILD!!!
Yes this is a SOCIETY FOR THE MASSES WHO HAVE NOTHING INVESTED but to a young man who was counted out, and keeps performing to the BEST of his ability to do his best! He deserves support from all those people who were never sold on his underdog story! Keep PUSHING BROCK! God LOVES YOU IMMENSELY… No Emotions involved, he is a great leader for HIS TEAM PERIOD!!!
I sure miss Joe Montana. He never talked bad about the quarterbacks who followed him. Steve young spent 4 years behind Joe Montana before starting. Purdy took his team to the playoffs in his rookie year. Steve please keep your pie hole closed.
Brock is 24 who took the niners to nfc and superbowl in his short career he has what it takes but he needs a QB coach who can teach him how to truly work on his craft
@@papahims his career feels like kap. Went to the nfc championship went to the superbowl and after that their gameplay start to decrease because the league caught up to them
@jamgamer i watch, ya'll just think a 5 yard pass and someone taking it 30 or 40 yards, makes the qb elite. You were probably saying the SAME thing about Jimmy G. I was one of the main people saying get rid of him, while yall were saying ALL HE DOES IS WIN. LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣
I realize it’s the NFL and people automatically blame the QB but, IMO, we should be looking at the #1 & 2 receivers. BA holds out then comes back out of shape and can’t get open. Deebo can’t get open and when he does there’s a 50% chance he’s gonna drop the pass, ie if Deebo is on the field why is JJ or Kittle being triple teamed? Honest answer? Because Deebo is no longer getting double teamed. It is what it is.
FIRE Kyle to start with. He needs to watch old tapes so he can learn a thing or two from Bill Walsh. He needs to call some creative plays. That's what the old winning streak 49ers did under Walsh.
Purdy is not elite but he's not their biggest problem. They need a proper DC. They were consistently good for so many years due to elite defense. This season their defense is weak which is a big reason why they have a losing record.
And yet, when they get their players back, they ball out. Shutting the Rams down to 12 points in a game where their own offense sputtered terribly was quite a feat. That team just put up 44 on Buffalo.
The problem is the coach I think. (Kyle and his boring and predictable plays.) Bill Walsh used to get creative in the old days of the 49ers. How about a reverse or a double reverse now and then?
It ain't the defense, although their sacks are down. It's the offense... Pearsall is new (and was shot) BA is done CMC is wore out...and Deebo has turned prima-donna...+injuries and O- line
Purdy threw darts to deebo that he dropped, he over threw a few that needed to be overthrown or it was an INT. He will figure it out, its year 3 for him in the NFL.
Steves awesome. Both QBs had issues with rain, cold rain is even worse. Purdy will be fine , but O line needs to be better, Brocks first 2 seasons he ran for his life and took a beating. This season line is worse, I think hes tired and not gonna take hits like he was and makes more risky throws. Team injuries arent helping either.
The 9ers thought they were slick by messing with BA’s signing. He comes in late, gets hurt, and Brock loses his most supremely skilled wr. Guerendo runs a 4.3 but Kyle won’t let him on the field while burning up CMC! Brock saved Kyle’s career after the Lance disaster! And this is what Brock gets: a crappy O-line and Deebo the Clown 🤡! Brilliant genius moves! 🤨
There was dropped balls by Deebo, but Purdy was missing open receivers on multiple occasions. Twice in the 2nd half, on 3rd down, Kyle Juszczyk was WIDE OPEN with no one within 10 yards, and Purdy threw the ball into triple coverage incomplete to somebody else. Kyle Juszczyk was pretty much open the whole game. Purdy was missing almost everyone but George Kittle. Purdy did a vertical leap before one sack (couldn't see his receiver). Six points on offense? Won't cut it, in the NFL. The defense? Lights out.
@@BennettJonWayne-xw9vi but were talking open by the third and fourth read. He has no time because of our horrendous oline, forced to extend the play, pushing to one side of the field. When they are there he makes them, that's never changed.
@@Ben-os7yl Excuses. Excuses. Excuses. When your QB fails, just blame the offensive line. The 49er O line is at least as good as, or better than average. Something is wrong with Purdy.
@@BennettJonWayne-xw9vi just responding to saying he missing receivers. Just stating the facts. After the facts, I think Purdy is gonna have a great career. He plays with a style of awareness that can't be taught, everything else comes with time.
Brock has to work on his deep throws . He's not accurate deep at all and I know his arm isn't crazy strong so it has to come out earlier so many TDS end up thrown short to wide open receivers. Steve is so right about the view from the QB position..you can't see and you have split seconds
Same. 100%. Not everything is going to go perfectly, a Cinderella story where he has no bad games the rest of his career. NFL is a tough sport. Mahomes has had some terrible games this season. Purdy will pick it up, and he will push this squad forward.
@@bymanymeansmedia he's already won more than most with the Niners. Before you turn tail like some of the other fans, you think garrapolo, beathard, mullens, smith, gabbert etc were even close to Brock?
The 9er's needs to pay Brock his due diligence. I'll take Brock over other high pick qb's in the NFL. The only thing in Brock's game caught my eye's is rainy weather. Brock struggles in the rain, but I believe he will figure it out. He's a smart player. This year is a set back year, hold-outs, injuries etc. I'm all in on this young man! Last year was his full season + this year. He took the 9er's to 2-NFC titles + SB. Not many high draft picks QB's out their never made it to AFC or NFC titles & or SB. Brock did it! Also he's much better than most qb's around the league.
Exactly. Read the following: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is a capable deep ball thrower: 2023 stats: Purdy's 2023 deep ball stats include: 66% completion percentage on passes behind the line of scrimmage Second-most touchdown passes over 20 yards Second-highest passer rating 2022 stats: Purdy led the league in deep touchdowns and completion rate, and ranked first in the PFF passer grade for pass attempts of 20+ yards Efficiency: Purdy is efficient when throwing the deep ball, and some say he's pushing the ball downfield better than ever Willingness: Purdy's willingness to throw deep has helped change the 49ers offense Arm strength: Purdy's arm strength has proven doubters wrong
Yeah, QB's are tough to find and who can step in and fill in for a starting job? Are we going to bring Trey Lance back? It's super tough filling that spot, ride this out I agree.
Purdy is to me a top 5 QB but he has high variance. He is not helped by the HORRENDOUS O-Line that Kyle keeps cheeping out on, but he really needs to figure out how to play in the rain. Everyone plays worse in the rain, but Purdy can't allow himself to go from top 5 to garbage tier just because of a drizzle.
He is a top 5 backup qb in football 🏈 Kyle and John are lying to you they are covering for their massive draft failure by saying we got the guy the truth will be exposed soon when everyone will have to choice but to acknowledge just like Jimmy tired of mid QBs
Steve was a great ball player that had that miserable Tampa bay experience. He knows how much a great team can elevate a qb. Steve probably has a tough time ranking him ahead of 15 qbs
For the first time, I will say Purdy trying to force the ball and throwing the int. reminded me of Jimmy G. That boneheaded play, along with the game plan to force Deebo the ball lost then the game.
Anyone can have an off day but there is NO excuse for Deebo. He shoots of his big mouth about "Give ME the ball more" then when they do he drops it and costs them a TD. Settling for a FG is not how to win. I hope he shuts up now. He helped them to lose the game.
Brock needs to learn to adjust to any playing conditions. When the defense overruns the offensive line, Brock can't stay in the pocket. He needs an immediate plan B. Brock needs to start building a strong relationship with George Kittle. George is a play maker and the best choice when he's open. George needs to learn to get open when Brock needs help. They need to learn to trust each other, like Joe Namath and Jerry Rice in the old days. Kyle Shanahan needs to think outside of the box. Same oh same oh plays down the middle is a total waste of time and a down. He needs to look at films that other teams are making winning plays and use them too. The 49ers have the talent, learn to make them great NFL Stars. It's not just about the big contracts, its about being the best player in the world and leaving a legacy for generations to admirer. At the end of the day, if you did your best you are already a winner.
When you can’t score points the main reason is poor O Line play. Niners in the last month can’t run block or pass block. Purdy is either getting smothered or running for his life. Too many key injuries… Williams, McCaffery, Aiyuk, Mason, and others. Hard to win with your 2nd and 3rd string playing against the best players on the other team. You can take the NFL’s top 5 QBs and put them on the 49ers this last month with the Niners injury situation and they would likely have lost games also. Purdy is very good when the team is at full strength and healthy
Brock needs protectors and WR, with speed and secure hands. He is a great processor in his era! An issue with Brock he is trying to make everyone happy and forced the ball even that WR was not open or double coverage!
All QBs struggle in the rain and they have to learn to overcome it. Three games and 60 passes with the very slick NFL ball isn't exactly a full apprenticeship.
Purdys problem seems to be now he plays 1 good game in 6-10, would love to see him in the giants team, worst than Daniel Johns? Average quarterbacks would have looked good in last couple years 49er teams.Bill Walsh and Mr DeBartolo would never have put up with Purdy or multiple others
If purdy was on the giants he would like about the same level is Tommy devito I wish people would wake up and loudly push back on making a mid backup level guy the highest paid in the league
It's tough one, like the very best of racing drivers Senna et al, you need to play/perform in poor weather, if not doesn't make you more , and this far Brock as to battle.S.Y, knows what he is talking about.
I do think Purdy can play in nfl and do well, but only as an elite game manager. I also see His confidence is down too. Mccrafrey, Aiyuk and some to replace Deebo, then Purdy would dink-dunk his way back to top 5 QB rankings. The 49ers have to decide if that is what they want from a qb. Or bring in someone who has a stronger arm. Is it easier to build around the QB or find one that can carry a team?
Kyle calls crappy games in bad weather. Let’s start there. Maybe giving him a better plan of attack might help. Brock played in IOWA, for God’s sake! He can and has won in bad weather. Please stop. IDK having receivers who can actually “separate”, or calling a screen game might help? That’s what they do for Mahomes……
@ Fair enough. You don’t like the guy after 2 NFCs and one SB. It’s a results business. Let’s see how his career tracks from here. Did you actually check his college bad weather record? If so, share your intuitive brilliance with us please Mel Kiper…
Steve Young and David Lombardi should sit down and have coffee and talk NFL 49ers... they have some things in common and somethings to iron out about Purdy...
Deebo holds onto the ball and nobody is talking about this. Sure, Brock did not play very well but look at the O-line without Trent Williams. Look at the banged-up defense. First and second string RBs are not there. Seriously? Pay the man what he deserves and get rid of complainers like Deebo and Aiyuk.
Really?...holds onto the ball?... Are you blind? He was just hit in the numbers and DROPPED the ball costing them a TD and contributing to their loss of the game.
@@MikeJonesScientist I think that's what I said. Obviously, I saw him DROP the ball. If he held onto the ball, they would have scored a TD and the Niners would have won, and nobody would be talking about Purdy. It was especially embarrassing because he complained so much about not getting the touches. WTF is wrong with you?
@@MikeJonesScientist No problem, Mike. I was just as pissed as you when that happened. I am not sure if the Niners can recover real soon. I don't think the problem is Purdy. Besides the O-line and the defense and CMC, I think Juszczyk is a big part of what makes things work for them, and he might be getting old.
Elite quarterbacks keep upgrading their game once they get figured out. Kyle Shanahan makes every quarterback look good for a while with innovative offense, and then they regress (not an original thought by any means). Josh Allen was throwing bullets in the snow.
Purdy didn't play well in the rain but like, who does? Maybe a couple guys? Stafford looked bad and Rogers looked awful earlier this year against the Broncos. Goff infamously struggles. Do you toss a guy with a great mind who throws with accuracy and anticipation because once or twice a year the ball is slippery?
I saw one quarterback in that game with no sacks and not much pressure making bad throws. I also saw the other with a constant collapsing pocket and a ton of pressure.
100% Kyle's sabotaging ! he fires a defensive coordinator that only gave up 19pts in regulation time in the superBowl when he was the guy that got out coached and didn't know the overtime rules he refused to get oline then rolled with Burford and mckevitts they got absolutely manhandled just like last year because he can't have fans and media questioning his great mind. Kyle is spiteful and arrogant and happens to be the 10th highest paid coach in North American sports and the only one without a championship, he's statistically the worst fourth quarter coach in the history of the NFL. I understand the team lost a lot of players due to injury but his arrogance and Personnel decisions lack of leadership refusing to play his rookies unless he absolutely has no choice . Absolutely no chill when it comes to using McCaffrey, caves in to his prima donna money hungry egomaniac receivers and let's not mention picking a receiver that probably would have been there in the third round instead of addressing what we really needed with the first 1st round pick we've had in years after wasting 3 on Lance then trading him for a fifth. Then he denies Tom Brady because he had Jimmy G😅 because Tom Brady would audible genius plays . Let's be real this guy has had the best roster in the NFL five of the last 8 years he didn't get us to the Super Bowls he cost us the Super Bowls
Alot of it is kyle letting purdy audible at the line..If he doesn't purdy regresses..If he does, both evolve..But shanahan is a control freak so good freaking luck..Go Niners!
Aiyuk's holdout, Aiyuk's season-ending injury, Greenlaw injury, McCaffrey injury, Bosa injury, Trent Williams injury, Jake Moody ..... these are all the cumulative reasons that this season has gone the way it has. You can't solely put the blame on Shanahan or Purdy for this season. I would bet anything that they rebound next season. They need to start by getting rid of Jake Moody and Deebo Samuel, or at the very least moving Deebo down on the depth charts. They need to get Jordan Mason more involved and figure out how to better utilize Guerrendo. McCaffrey is gone after next season if he has a bad season or more injuries so they need to work on their backup plan at that position.
Steve - "How do I say this, CMC, Trent, Bosa, and BA backed the front office into a corner, and they won and the front office and the fans lost, while they collected MILLIONS!!!" Front Office: Stop getting played by agents of injury prone players. Give them a reasonable offer, and if they don't want it, then let them sit out a season!
A yo..? If Trey Lance was the 49ers quarterback and he did exactly everything Purdy did for this team including the Superbowl appearance he ain't getting 50 million either.. See if Trey Lance was there or any other quarterback with the ability to run and gun it would expose Kyle's inefficiencies.. He needs the Jimmy's and the Purdy's because it's the Scapegoating City 49ers... Shanahan's like LeBron in L.A he needs to hang it up.. Shanahan belongs upstairs, behind a desk and chair, in a booth somewhere... 😂😂😂😂
This reminds me: Did we all get on Steve Young for not being “elite” when he didn’t get us to the Super Bowl in a few of those years? I don’t recall that but maybe I’m wrong. I also wonder about having had a great offensive line line last year (we didn’t) that would have enabled us to win the Super Bowl? What would be the talk about Purdy now? A little different? Probably!
Liking this thread, proper non glory hunting fans having their say 👏the best news for me apart from winning next three games would be Brock getting the contract he deserves 🤞❤️
Brock doesn’t have the strongest arm but he’s great at throwing with anticipation to a spot, maybe one of the best at that in the league. The problem is, if it’s cold and wet - wind is maybe worse - if you don’t have a strong arm it’s hard. A guy with a strong arm gets a ball from point A to point B faster; it’s an easy Physics equation. But if you have a so-so arm and you throw in the wind the ball will curve more on its path. In the rain it’s hard to throw because the ball is slick. So it’s unclear how Brock can improve in adverse weather outside of maybe strengthening his arm. Josh Allen was a perfect draft choice for Buffalo for this very reason as Josh might have the strongest arm ever and he can just drill it, even in the worst weather imaginable.
this was so refreshing to hear. no sugarcoating, but no negativity hopping. it felt like the real answer
Steve Young talks about current players in the same way he would speak to them directly to their face. Its respectful and real ... and great advice for those willing to listen

1992: Young was named NFL MVP and NFL Offensive Player of the Year - 1994: Young led the NFL in passing with a 112.8 passer rating, and was named NFL MVP again.
Plus in 1995 Young was also named Super Bowl MVP in 1995 after leading the 49ers to victory over the San Diego Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX. He threw for a Super Bowl record six touchdowns in the game.
@@Traditional_Maybe Dude...he was a skilled and frustrated back up QB. (He wanted to play and was ready) He was still part of the team. If Joe ever got hurt Steve was there to take over and kick some ass. There has never been as good a QB with a that good Back Up QB.
@@Traditional_Maybe - Would you like to see some of Steve' records?
Steve Young Holds many NFL records, including:
Highest passer rating in a career (96.9)
Most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in a career (43)
Most touchdown passes in one Super Bowl (6)
NFL's most accurate passer with a career completion percentage of 64.28
Led the league in completion percentage for four consecutive seasons (1994-97)
@@Traditional_Maybethat was Dallas decade I hate to admit it they were just built better
He was good. The weapons around him were obviously a big factor in his success.
I think the division thing with two teams that run the same offense was a lot of yesterday. Rams Defense know the 49ers well. Brock played bad but so did the O line and the WR's.
I agree. Yes, Purdy could play better in rain. No, he's hardly playing horrible. It wasn't like balls were sailing over WRs heads. Honestly I thought Stafford looked much worse, especially in the first half (how many near INTs did he throw?).
Purdy definitely has room to improve there but I think he will over time. Dude seems very focused.
Spoken from a man of wisdom!! Like a popsicle on the 4th of July!! Love you Steve!! ❤
Stafford was missing throws too. If you're guys aren't catching it and can't get separation, it's going to be tough sledding.
Stafford made the plays in the fourth quarter though. He hit Necua deep in the fourth quarter. Brock missed his shot to Pearsall.
@@Hopper830 Nacua had no one with in 10 yards of him and was able to even come back for it while Pearsall had a guy on top of him.
Stafford also should've had 3 INTs but hey if it doesn't show up in that stat sheet people just forget about it, the rain affects every QB but since it's Brock he gets ridiculed for it, sadly 🤦🏽♂️
Stafford beat the 49ers in september missing half his offense. Stop making excuses for Brock.
No excuses, this is a home game rain or not, Stafford is in his 30s and didn't throw any costly int unlike brock. Purdy is not elite and has reached his potential the nfl has figured him out.
Steve knows the game AND knows how to explain it. If you just simply listen to him, he is spot on in his analysis. He isn't down on Purdy, but is a fair and honest evaluator and has great advice for Purdy and the team overall.
What a sincere and useful critique, Qballin’ ain’t easy!
My all time favorite player. Love Steve Young
@@Mrcandles312 They said he was a reckless loser who couldn’t get on the field. Walsh saved his floundering career. He beat the haters and Brock will, too.

Every area on the field became a problem this season and losing the SB was very hard for us knocked the stuffing out of our swagger GO NINER'S 💪☘️
I agree with Steve, Brock needs to work on the rain game, that’s what you do to get better. Gotta find the answer! Get a big sprinkler in the middle of a field and start throwing passes in the water, something! You’re in the big leagues now, time to work on your negatives and turn them into positives!!!
I agree. And I truly think he will. I don't think money will change Purdy. I think if anything, he'll want to justify it.
I'm still very encouraged by this guy. Sophomore slumps happen to all sorts of QBs. He's had musical chairs at WR all season.
I think next season will be a big step forward for him.
@@user-xnr yep,👍. He’s still very young and learning a lot. He’s got gd qualities, just needs to hone in a few things. Just be smarter throwing, you don’t always have to make the big play, just move the ball down the field. 🏈. I love it when he rolls out, to either side.

You can’t work on small hands and average arm
@@user-xnr I agree with you.

Purdy is amazing...He is still young and has yet to peak . Purdy is 23 or 24 . Purdy was without his starters all season . Purdy will get us #6. Its going to happen. Franchise tag him before any other team gets him . Sign and lock him in
Exactly. Read this also about him.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is a capable deep ball thrower:
2023 stats: Purdy's 2023 deep ball stats include:
66% completion percentage on passes behind the line of scrimmage
Second-most touchdown passes over 20 yards
Second-highest passer rating
2022 stats: Purdy led the league in deep touchdowns and completion rate, and ranked first in the PFF passer grade for pass attempts of 20+ yards
Efficiency: Purdy is efficient when throwing the deep ball, and some say he's pushing the ball downfield better than ever
Willingness: Purdy's willingness to throw deep has helped change the 49ers offense
Arm strength: Purdy's arm strength has proven doubters wrong
No he’s average at best 😝
@@travesotom6890 Are you even capable of reading? Above you is my comment with actual stats of Brock Purdy. Read it...then shut up. Your opinion is meaningless and uninformed. Sorry.
@Soggy_Potato21 You can't "Peak" when you are still healing up from a shoulder and an Arm injury (And surgery) Brock can still improve by doing 3 things. Strengthening his arm muscles, healing his arm and shoulder and fine tune his actual passing by both practice and advice from experts ...like Pro QB Steve Young. He needs tips for throwing a wet football...ect. As a 24 year old QB with only 2 yrs in the NFL, he can still learn and improve. What he has done proves how good he can be and his potential. He is for sure worth keeping and training more. I think he can take the 49ers to the Super bowl and win it. (If he and the team can play like last year and the other great players are healthy.) He has had one bad year...that's all. Mostly because of missing key players but also from his arm not being back to the perfect condition it was before the injury.
I agree at this time he is not a elite player
Steve Young is a GOAT analyst. All I need to say.
Kyle needs everything to be perfect for his system to work. He leaves very little room (or willingness) for adjustment. Brock Purdy is the perfect quarterback for Kyle's system. As such, he also needs everything to be perfect to produce at optimum levels. In each case, if something is off, whether a member of the offense is injured or the defense figures the scheme out, the 49ers are cooked. Steve Spagnolo, for instance. He has the 49ers figured out. He has KYLE figured out. Until Kyle learns how to adjust in the game, or we get a coach who can, nothing will change.
Kyle needs to look at the history of the Niners. They are know for creative and ever changing plays. (Even a few trick plays.) Learn a thing or two from the BEST coaches they had. (Bill Walsh, George Seifert, and Jim Harbaugh) I wish Kyle could read this.
My thoughts,exactly....
Facts 💯
It's on Kyle to figure out why things aren't working against man to man coverage. Is that on Brock, is it the receivers or is it on the play calling?
bit of all three, methinks
It's on Brock
Yep...He needs to study the old films with Bill Walsh, George Seifert, and Jim Harbaugh. They knew how to coach the 49ers.
All of the above…and also they knew they’d see a lot of man coverage this year Brock said it the day after the Super Bowl they planned for it they drafted Pearsall specifically because of it…and then half the team went down
Stafford almost had 5 picks and everyone is talking about Purdy not being able to play in the rain
No excuses, clear words. My last 9ers QB with a SB... a legend.
Hope Brock can at some point bring the 9ers back to the SB.
Time to let dirty Purdy go
@@ykd818 LOL well played ykd well played
Stafford was playing like Josh Rosen in the first half rain, but the defense forgot how to catch fortunately for him.
Dude had a club for a hand 😂
Offense forgot how to catch too
Kyle is like the old vinyl record stuck on a scratch. The only way to solve that is to change it or accept the same thing over and over.
Honestly I still think Brock can get it done. This year has been crazy from all sorts of injuries especially in the RB department. He lost his primary WR in BA although we seen JJ step up big time. We’ve were missing both greenlaw and Huff those guys are all pros. So the team in general was down not all brick’s fault. This will be a blessing in the long run as this team is getting old quick.
The fact that there is a large majority of fans who continue to point out that its “not all brocks fault” is putrid, cause very few have made that claim. Its much easier to defend Brock by explaining that its not all on him, than to explain where he has regressed and what he needs to improve upon.
Brock had regressed period! Noodle arm, not enough mobility. He's only a little better than Jimmy G
@@ykd818 Wrong.
He needs to practice all off season using a garden hose to keep a wet ball.
😂
Not to dwell too much on the past, but Brandon Aiyuk was a major factor in the rest of the offense successful play. When BA and Deebo were on the field together who was always open? EVERYONE!!!!
Purdy and Aiyuk also just had a great connection-BA was Purdy’s favorite target even though he and Jennings have been great I don’t think he had that with any receiver this year
Hey knows his stuff. I wish he played a bigger role with the 49ers.
I really think this is how much better Christian mccaffery makes everyone else. Brock does have to get more accurate deep. I still think he can do it.
They were better without McCaffrey tho.
Hes already in his 3rd year. Guys just dont develop a deep ball in their 4th nfl year

I remember Candlestick becoming a muddy disaster when the playoffs rolled around and it killing so many 49ers seasons with Steve. Probably would have another ring or two if not for that.
That paaart. I remember a couple packer matchups in particular
@@3300tvaMZKS Yep getting knocked out by the Packers 3 years in a row was brutal.
Makes you wonder, if Joe was the QB would there possibly be another ring in there.
Which is no excuse cause the other team played on the same surface.
NO
Purdy is amazing. Even with that loss, he is still between top 7 and top 10 for QBR, Passer Rating, and passing yards. That means he is ahead of at least 22 other NFL QBs in the most important metrics.
😂
I think the Super Bowl loss and the contract holds hurt the chemistry of the team. Also paying max dollars also hurts the depth of the team. I also think the coach firing the defensive coordinator after the Super Bowl also didn’t help.
Thumbs Up 👍Steve
❤ Steve Young.
Joe Montana didn't have "arm strength" either. He also had Jerry, Rice, John Taylor and receivers that could catch the ball.
You are right about Jerry Rice and John Taylor but wrong about Joe's arm. Remember the awesome perfect pass for the historic CATCH. (In the Dallas playoff game that got them into the first Super Bowl.) Joe launches it to Dwight Clark in the endzone with 3 other Dallal players near him. Joe purposely puts it so high that only Dwight Clark can leap up and pull it out of the sky...catching it to win the game. I personally got to meet Dwight years later and talked to him for over 10 minutes about "The Catch". It was no fluke or coincidence of a throw or a catch. Joe and him worked for that exact play dozens of times, and they used it when they needed it. Joe's arm was strong, accurate and even powerful on the long throw when he had to do that too.
@@MegaSkills9 The CATCH was like 15 yards, no?
@@cjsimmons6535 It wasn't real long but it was very precise. Way over the heads but still in a spot where Dwight could jump high enough to grab it. -- It was awesome to watch.
Over the years though I watched Joe throw several Hail Mary passes with resulted in a catch and a TD. (Those were real long passes.)
Niners got that too. Stop making excuses for Brock. Trey didn't get these excuses
@@problackbayareaplaya Purdy deserves to be cut some slack. 1) He is still only 24 and still improving., 2) He has suffered 2 injuries so far. 3) His numbers were great last year. , 4) this year sucked due to all the injuries of many important players being off. -- If you don't like Brock...spare the rest of us your comment. This video was great because Steves opinion is better than any person who is just a fan (And not a famous QB.) His advice is right on the money.
Stafford threw 2 easy picks..and a third hard one..Defense rocked..No touchdowns for Rams either. This game could of went either way
the niners should have drafted more Offensive linemen. Shanahan deserves a lot of blame, for ignoring kettle and being a debo enabler.

Guess we need a topic for the experts to talk about. But if you're a true football fan and can be honest, Brock Purdy is not the only Quarterback struggling this season.....

I realize it’s the NFL and people automatically blame the QB but, IMO, we should be looking at the #1 & 2 receivers. BA holds out then comes back out of shape and can’t get open. Deebo can’t get open and when he does there’s a 50% chance he’s gonna drop the pass, ie if Deebo is on the field why is JJ or Kittle being triple teamed? Honest answer? Because Deebo is no longer getting double teamed. It is what it is.
Deebo's got speed but doesn't really run good routes,,,,Jennings is just slow

@@rakeemjones8724 he also still has his lingering karma from the way he did harbaugh 8 years ago over his head
FIRE Kyle to start with. He needs to watch old tapes so he can learn a thing or two from Bill Walsh. He needs to call some creative plays. That's what the old winning streak 49ers did under Walsh.
QBs an ole saying "Its always incomplete until its always Complete." Steve Young just reminded me a principal of Mutter.
Purdy is not elite but he's not their biggest problem. They need a proper DC. They were consistently good for so many years due to elite defense. This season their defense is weak which is a big reason why they have a losing record.
And yet, when they get their players back, they ball out. Shutting the Rams down to 12 points in a game where their own offense sputtered terribly was quite a feat. That team just put up 44 on Buffalo.
That d# held Stafford to 12pts... 9ers offense isn't converting on d# takeaways. You can't always rely on the d# to score you points
The problem is the coach I think. (Kyle and his boring and predictable plays.) Bill Walsh used to get creative in the old days of the 49ers. How about a reverse or a double reverse now and then?
Our DC only allowed 12 points against a top Offense. Brock lost us the game
It ain't the defense, although their sacks are down. It's the offense... Pearsall is new (and was shot) BA is done CMC is wore out...and Deebo has turned prima-donna...+injuries and O- line
Can young please coach the niners!? Imagine that
GREAT idea. Thumbs up.
Purdy threw darts to deebo that he dropped, he over threw a few that needed to be overthrown or it was an INT. He will figure it out, its year 3 for him in the NFL.
steve's the best ! your questions go on and on and on and on! just ask direct questions , thats why stopped listening to you on knbr !
Steve should be a QB coach
It helps when you have CMC
Steves awesome. Both QBs had issues with rain, cold rain is even worse. Purdy will be fine , but O line needs to be better, Brocks first 2 seasons he ran for his life and took a beating. This season line is worse, I think hes tired and not gonna take hits like he was and makes more risky throws. Team injuries arent helping either.
Brock has lost all his weapons. And Shanahan is mailing it in.
The 9ers thought they were slick by messing with BA’s signing. He comes in late, gets hurt, and Brock loses his most supremely skilled wr. Guerendo runs a 4.3 but Kyle won’t let him on the field while burning up CMC! Brock saved Kyle’s career after the Lance disaster! And this is what Brock gets: a crappy O-line and Deebo the Clown 🤡! Brilliant genius moves! 🤨
There was dropped balls by Deebo, but Purdy was missing open receivers on multiple occasions. Twice in the 2nd half, on 3rd down, Kyle Juszczyk was WIDE OPEN with no one within 10 yards, and Purdy threw the ball into triple coverage incomplete to somebody else. Kyle Juszczyk was pretty much open the whole game. Purdy was missing almost everyone but George Kittle. Purdy did a vertical leap before one sack (couldn't see his receiver). Six points on offense? Won't cut it, in the NFL. The defense? Lights out.
@@BennettJonWayne-xw9vi but were talking open by the third and fourth read. He has no time because of our horrendous oline, forced to extend the play, pushing to one side of the field. When they are there he makes them, that's never changed.
@@Ben-os7yl Excuses. Excuses. Excuses. When your QB fails, just blame the offensive line. The 49er O line is at least as good as, or better than average. Something is wrong with Purdy.
@@BennettJonWayne-xw9vi just responding to saying he missing receivers. Just stating the facts. After the facts, I think Purdy is gonna have a great career. He plays with a style of awareness that can't be taught, everything else comes with time.
@@Ben-os7yl I like Purdy, I hope so. He should take less money, based on the team performance this year, if we sign him.
Legend
Brock has to work on his deep throws . He's not accurate deep at all and I know his arm isn't crazy strong so it has to come out earlier so many TDS end up thrown short to wide open receivers.
Steve is so right about the view from the QB position..you can't see and you have split seconds
That’s something he might can’t work on.
I mean he leads the league in completed passes over 30 yards, and is tied for 6th with Josh Allen for passes over 40, so he's not terrible at it.
Wow helll of a stat. Thanks. I only watch the niners so I can only compare Brock to Brock so I thought he missed more deep.

WHY
YOU WONT WIN ANYTHING WITH BROCK , I LIKE HIME TOO .. BUT THAT DOESNT MATTER
@@bymanymeansmedia he's already won more than most with the Niners. Before you turn tail like some of the other fans, you think garrapolo, beathard, mullens, smith, gabbert etc were even close to Brock?
The 9er's needs to pay Brock his due diligence. I'll take Brock over other high pick qb's in the NFL. The only thing in Brock's game caught my eye's is rainy weather. Brock struggles in the rain, but I believe he will figure it out. He's a smart player. This year is a set back year, hold-outs, injuries etc. I'm all in on this young man! Last year was his full season + this year. He took the 9er's to 2-NFC titles + SB. Not many high draft picks QB's out their never made it to AFC or NFC titles & or SB. Brock did it! Also he's much better than most qb's around the league.
Exactly. Read the following:
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is a capable deep ball thrower:
2023 stats: Purdy's 2023 deep ball stats include:
66% completion percentage on passes behind the line of scrimmage
Second-most touchdown passes over 20 yards
Second-highest passer rating
2022 stats: Purdy led the league in deep touchdowns and completion rate, and ranked first in the PFF passer grade for pass attempts of 20+ yards
Efficiency: Purdy is efficient when throwing the deep ball, and some say he's pushing the ball downfield better than ever
Willingness: Purdy's willingness to throw deep has helped change the 49ers offense
Arm strength: Purdy's arm strength has proven doubters wrong
Yeah, QB's are tough to find and who can step in and fill in for a starting job?
Are we going to bring Trey Lance back?
It's super tough filling that spot, ride this out I agree.
I think they need to hire Eric Bienemmy as OC
Purdy is to me a top 5 QB but he has high variance. He is not helped by the HORRENDOUS O-Line that Kyle keeps cheeping out on, but he really needs to figure out how to play in the rain. Everyone plays worse in the rain, but Purdy can't allow himself to go from top 5 to garbage tier just because of a drizzle.
You have low standards
Brock is like 2006 Rex Grossman. Volatile like cryptos.
He is a top 5 backup qb in football 🏈 Kyle and John are lying to you they are covering for their massive draft failure by saying we got the guy the truth will be exposed soon when everyone will have to choice but to acknowledge just like Jimmy tired of mid QBs
Even Steve young is back tracking. Huge sign
Steve was a great ball player that had that miserable Tampa bay experience. He knows how much a great team can elevate a qb. Steve probably has a tough time ranking him ahead of 15 qbs
For the first time, I will say Purdy trying to force the ball and throwing the int. reminded me of Jimmy G. That boneheaded play, along with the game plan to force Deebo the ball lost then the game.
Anyone can have an off day but there is NO excuse for Deebo. He shoots of his big mouth about "Give ME the ball more" then when they do he drops it and costs them a TD. Settling for a FG is not how to win. I hope he shuts up now. He helped them to lose the game.
Brock needs to learn to adjust to any playing conditions. When the defense overruns the offensive line, Brock can't stay in the pocket. He needs an immediate plan B. Brock needs to start building a strong relationship with George Kittle. George is a play maker and the best choice when he's open. George needs to learn to get open when Brock needs help. They need to learn to trust each other, like Joe Namath and Jerry Rice in the old days. Kyle Shanahan needs to think outside of the box. Same oh same oh plays down the middle is a total waste of time and a down. He needs to look at films that other teams are making winning plays and use them too. The 49ers have the talent, learn to make them great NFL Stars. It's not just about the big contracts, its about being the best player in the world and leaving a legacy for generations to admirer. At the end of the day, if you did your best you are already a winner.
When you can’t score points the main reason is poor O Line play. Niners in the last month can’t run block or pass block. Purdy is either getting smothered or running for his life. Too many key injuries… Williams, McCaffery, Aiyuk, Mason, and others. Hard to win with your 2nd and 3rd string playing against the best players on the other team. You can take the NFL’s top 5 QBs and put them on the 49ers this last month with the Niners injury situation and they would likely have lost games also. Purdy is very good when the team is at full strength and healthy
Brock needs protectors and WR, with speed and secure hands. He is a great processor in his era! An issue with Brock he is trying to make everyone happy and forced the ball even that WR was not open or double coverage!
Niners gotta pay Purdy 60million next year. 😂
All QBs struggle in the rain and they have to learn to overcome it. Three games and 60 passes with the very slick NFL ball isn't exactly a full apprenticeship.
I think he should try wearing gloves to see if that helps with gripping the ball
Purdys problem seems to be now he plays 1 good game in 6-10, would love to see him in the giants team, worst than Daniel Johns? Average quarterbacks would have looked good in last couple years 49er teams.Bill Walsh and Mr DeBartolo would never have put up with Purdy or multiple others
Walsh would have coached him better and saw potential in him like Steve Young does.
If purdy was on the giants he would like about the same level is Tommy devito I wish people would wake up and loudly push back on making a mid backup level guy the highest paid in the league
It's tough one, like the very best of racing drivers Senna et al, you need to play/perform in poor weather, if not doesn't make you more , and this far Brock as to battle.S.Y, knows what he is talking about.
I do think Purdy can play in nfl and do well, but only as an elite game manager. I also see His confidence is down too. Mccrafrey, Aiyuk and some to replace Deebo, then Purdy would dink-dunk his way back to top 5 QB rankings. The 49ers have to decide if that is what they want from a qb. Or bring in someone who has a stronger arm. Is it easier to build around the QB or find one that can carry a team?
Kyle calls crappy games in bad weather. Let’s start there. Maybe giving him a better plan of attack might help. Brock played in IOWA, for God’s sake! He can and has won in bad weather. Please stop. IDK having receivers who can actually “separate”, or calling a screen game might help? That’s what they do for Mahomes……
Go look at his bad weather games while playing at ISU, he looked the same as now.
@ Fair enough. You don’t like the guy after 2 NFCs and one SB. It’s a results business. Let’s see how his career tracks from here. Did you actually check his college bad weather record? If so, share your intuitive brilliance with us please Mel Kiper…
O-line that can run block would help immensely
Well, it would help if the receivers would hang on the the balls Brock throws, they have one main job, catch the damn ball.
Niners haven't had the fire in their belly all season, maybe next year.
Steve Young and David Lombardi should sit down and have coffee and talk NFL 49ers... they have some things in common and somethings to iron out about Purdy...
Deebo holds onto the ball and nobody is talking about this. Sure, Brock did not play very well but look at the O-line without Trent Williams. Look at the banged-up defense. First and second string RBs are not there. Seriously? Pay the man what he deserves and get rid of complainers like Deebo and Aiyuk.
Really?...holds onto the ball?... Are you blind? He was just hit in the numbers and DROPPED the ball costing them a TD and contributing to their loss of the game.
@@MikeJonesScientist I think that's what I said. Obviously, I saw him DROP the ball. If he held onto the ball, they would have scored a TD and the Niners would have won, and nobody would be talking about Purdy. It was especially embarrassing because he complained so much about not getting the touches. WTF is wrong with you?
@@AceManifold Sorry. I miss read your comment. I am in agreement with you.
@@MikeJonesScientist No problem, Mike. I was just as pissed as you when that happened. I am not sure if the Niners can recover real soon. I don't think the problem is Purdy. Besides the O-line and the defense and CMC, I think Juszczyk is a big part of what makes things work for them, and he might be getting old.
Elite quarterbacks keep upgrading their game once they get figured out. Kyle Shanahan makes every quarterback look good for a while with innovative offense, and then they regress (not an original thought by any means). Josh Allen was throwing bullets in the snow.
Purdy didn't play well in the rain but like, who does? Maybe a couple guys? Stafford looked bad and Rogers looked awful earlier this year against the Broncos. Goff infamously struggles. Do you toss a guy with a great mind who throws with accuracy and anticipation because once or twice a year the ball is slippery?
Purdy's not good throwing into (not confident) because he's got a mediocre arm, especially against good D-backs
@@alfredramirez6402 He's great throwing into tight windows, what are you talking about?
I saw one quarterback in that game with no sacks and not much pressure making bad throws. I also saw the other with a constant collapsing pocket and a ton of pressure.
Excuses Excuses. All QBs still make plays on the go. Brock has reached his peak
100% Kyle's sabotaging ! he fires a defensive coordinator that only gave up 19pts in regulation time in the superBowl when he was the guy that got out coached and didn't know the overtime rules he refused to get oline then rolled with Burford and mckevitts they got absolutely manhandled just like last year because he can't have fans and media questioning his great mind. Kyle is spiteful and arrogant and happens to be the 10th highest paid coach in North American sports and the only one without a championship, he's statistically the worst fourth quarter coach in the history of the NFL. I understand the team lost a lot of players due to injury but his arrogance and Personnel decisions lack of leadership refusing to play his rookies unless he absolutely has no choice . Absolutely no chill when it comes to using McCaffrey, caves in to his prima donna money hungry egomaniac receivers and let's not mention picking a receiver that probably would have been there in the third round instead of addressing what we really needed with the first 1st round pick we've had in years after wasting 3 on Lance then trading him for a fifth. Then he denies Tom Brady because he had Jimmy G😅 because Tom Brady would audible genius plays . Let's be real this guy has had the best roster in the NFL five of the last 8 years he didn't get us to the Super Bowls he cost us the Super Bowls
Alot of it is kyle letting purdy audible at the line..If he doesn't purdy regresses..If he does, both evolve..But shanahan is a control freak so good freaking luck..Go Niners!
The reason Brock is not a sixty million dollar quarterback unless he can play in the rain.
The kid is still only 24. He has potential to still learn. He has greatness in him I think. (Steve feels the same way)
Aiyuk's holdout, Aiyuk's season-ending injury, Greenlaw injury, McCaffrey injury, Bosa injury, Trent Williams injury, Jake Moody ..... these are all the cumulative reasons that this season has gone the way it has. You can't solely put the blame on Shanahan or Purdy for this season. I would bet anything that they rebound next season. They need to start by getting rid of Jake Moody and Deebo Samuel, or at the very least moving Deebo down on the depth charts. They need to get Jordan Mason more involved and figure out how to better utilize Guerrendo. McCaffrey is gone after next season if he has a bad season or more injuries so they need to work on their backup plan at that position.
Steve - "How do I say this, CMC, Trent, Bosa, and BA backed the front office into a corner, and they won and the front office and the fans lost, while they collected MILLIONS!!!"
Front Office: Stop getting played by agents of injury prone players. Give them a reasonable offer, and if they don't want it, then let them sit out a season!
They should e have taken the deal with the Steelers for BA. The run is over
A yo..? If Trey Lance was the 49ers quarterback and he did exactly everything Purdy did for this team including the Superbowl appearance he ain't getting 50 million either.. See if Trey Lance was there or any other quarterback with the ability to run and gun it would expose Kyle's inefficiencies.. He needs the Jimmy's and the Purdy's because it's the Scapegoating City 49ers... Shanahan's like LeBron in L.A he needs to hang it up.. Shanahan belongs upstairs, behind a desk and chair, in a booth somewhere... 😂😂😂😂
From a guy who was 1-9 vs Green Bay , if Owens doesn’t catch the ball he’s 0-10.
Froma guy who actually won us a superbowl and was a far better qb than purdy.
KC showed the blueprint on how to beat the niners on D fence.
This reminds me: Did we all get on Steve Young for not being “elite” when he didn’t get us to the Super Bowl in a few of those years? I don’t recall that but maybe I’m wrong. I also wonder about having had a great
offensive line line last year (we didn’t) that would have enabled us to win the Super Bowl? What would be the talk about Purdy now? A little different? Probably!
Where was Kyle's rain game plan? The Rams coach had one!
What is so difficult to have a couple of 5 gallon buckets full of water out at practice with a football floating in them for Brock to practice with?
Trent, Aiyuk and CMC is noticeable missed. Injuries have once again became our worst enemy.
Liking this thread, proper non glory hunting fans having their say 👏the best news for me apart from winning next three games would be Brock getting the contract he deserves 🤞❤️
Brock doesn’t have the strongest arm but he’s great at throwing with anticipation to a spot, maybe one of the best at that in the league. The problem is, if it’s cold and wet - wind is maybe worse - if you don’t have a strong arm it’s hard. A guy with a strong arm gets a ball from point A to point B faster; it’s an easy Physics equation. But if you have a so-so arm and you throw in the wind the ball will curve more on its path. In the rain it’s hard to throw because the ball is slick. So it’s unclear how Brock can improve in adverse weather outside of maybe strengthening his arm. Josh Allen was a perfect draft choice for Buffalo for this very reason as Josh might have the strongest arm ever and he can just drill it, even in the worst weather imaginable.
But if you have a qb that can’t play football outdoors in wind rain snow you need to look for another one
Brock was more accurate in this rain game than he was in the others. I thought he showed improvements actually. He wasn't great but he was better.
