Now I don't know about you, but I prefer quarterbacks who are SMART with the ball. Protocol Purdy is a QBINO!

People who downvote you don’t realize you simply support the GEQBUS. People who support to GEQBUS are America’s most persecuted class.

[–] Fiendish-DoctorWu@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Cock Sturdy's play has been pretty limp the past few weeks.

I have a feeling he'll go pretty hard again soon

[–] Sad_Cartoonist_3247@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He's gotta be smarter like jimmy g, who stepped out of the back of the endzone knowing it would negate the pick 6 he was about to throw

[–] slimmymcnutty@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Or the time Kittle fumbled in the playoff game against us and it got returned for a TD. Yet it got wiped away cause Jimmy G throw a pass to the flat directly into the dirt. Just smart Thinkin by him

He has some “what in the Carson Wentz” type plays lol, this is a good response though.

[–] L-methionine@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He consistently says the right things, and more often than not does the right things. He just needs to clean it up the rest of the time

[–] LovelehInnit@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought he was going to take ownership of the 49ers.

[–] Thel_Odan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Caleb Williams was about to be in shambles.

[–] deenee2000@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I think he's smart QB and plays quite well in the given system. Mistake or turnover can happen even with elite QBs.

[–] RookieRickk@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mfer got them Burrow in September vibes rn

[–] DCJustSomeone@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not unless it's Dak apparently lol

Everything you said and it's only his second season. He's a solid qb who still makes rookie mistake. His decision making is still better than most starting qbs despite the picks.

[–] DeliciousParlay@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Brock Purdy really saved the 49ers

[–] TheKing490@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Literally. I know there's naysayers on the Niners. But at least the Trey Lance trade is forgotten about right lol

[–] KillermooseD@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I really do love Purdy for it too

[–] mightbetheyear@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The 49ers are really an interesting experiment right now. Usually teams that give up so much to trade up and draft a QB don't pan out so well, panthers and redskins come to mind. So Brock did save them from falling into the abyss like them, yes. I would argue, and yeah it hasn't been proven yet so it's just my take, that he really is just gonna keep them where they were before the whole lance saga. A contender who definitely could win it all given the right circumstances, but their window definitely has an end in sight. Once his rookie deal is up, I don't know how they could keep such a roster together the way it is now, with the mix of aging stars. I'll be interested to see what they do going forward to revamp the team, but I feel like the window is the next 2 years to get number 6

[–] Ortoel@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As opposed to "I gotta be dumber with the ball. Throw it straight to the opposing linebackers. Maybe just hand it to them and point them to the endzone."

[–] fancyskank@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe he should try that, at least for one week.

[–] YearoftheCamels@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Don’t be the grinch Brock t’s the giving season

[–] DiggingNoMore@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Talk is cheap. Stop turning the ball over.

[–] krkonos@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I disagree, keep talking and turning the ball over. At least for another week.

[–] mynameiszack@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (11 children)

Just once I want to hear "Honestly I blame everyone else. All my coaches, my o-line, the wide receivers... even the opposing defense. Fucking bullshit."

[–] BradyReas@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Justin Fields came close earlier this year

[–] slimmymcnutty@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

There are some guys who could legit say this and not even be wrong.

[–] bpusef@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I would like to apologize, to ABSOLUTELY NOBODY.

[–] unfunnysexface@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

In public you'd have to look to Jeff George but the best quotes are probably lost to time.

In private I'd say Ryan Leaf said that exact thing in the qb room at least once.

[–] LatestMonkey@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

“Y’all are so trash I’m gonna say your name before I call you trash so you know I’m talking to you.”

[–] bigbear-08@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

“If I see your name on a top 10 list, imma kill somebody”

[–] unseth@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Mr Blame Coaches

[–] Mozicon@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

"Fucking input lag"

[–] rickg@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah there seems to be an unwritten rule that QBs always lead by taking the hit for performance and sometimes it IS them. But when the offense has a team up by something like 34-17 late in the 3rd and the D collapses, that's not on the QB. But there's no single player on D that has to stand up there and say "yeah, we sucked"

He will commit two more Sunday

[–] yaprettymuch52@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

he has to not have the arm strength of a high schooler

[–] seloun@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Actually it's the other team that takes ownership of your turnovers

[–] hdf0003@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I haven’t followed super closely but didn’t he have a concussion recently that conveniently aligns with when he started playing worse? Feels like the bye week should get him healthy and back to playing well?

[–] L-methionine@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It aligned closer to Trent being injured and the OL folding like wet toilet paper (Deebo being out also doesn’t help).

The concussion was in the second game of the three game skid, though he’s generally played decent over that time period, with just some inopportune mistakes at bad times

[–] QuirkyScorpio29@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Good players don't make excuses. Yes, I believe he was concussed vs the Vikings but he was healthy vs Cincinatti and still had 2 picks..if I am gonna praise him for great plays..gotta keep that energy for the bad

[–] Specific-Channel7844@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jags defense is first in turnovers, it willbe an interesting game.

[–] mightbetheyear@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If I'm not mistaken, they are also pretty stout against the run. May all be on Purdy this game

[–] invaluableimp@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

“I think I’ve been too smart with the ball. Time to spice it up. Only interceptions now.”

[–] Cheesesteak21@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's crazy he's been playing well, he's just had like 2 really bad plays in the last couple games that sink the offence

[–] DennisNedrysGhost@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All coming together for Kirk

All that to get whooped by jags 🤔

[–] StupidSexyScooter@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I was having a great game… until Jesus made me throw a pick

[–] SocialDistanceMedia@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'm totally fine if he isn't smart with the ball the rest of the season, especially in a couple games that are rapidly approaching.

[–] PleasantThoughts@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

...can you wait like a week to do that? We'd really appreciate it

[–] QuirkyScorpio29@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He's gonna check the ball down now until we all get sick of it. We need this win more than you guys do..be charitable

[–] jobenjar@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No better time to start than one week from Sunday.

[–] NinJ4ng@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

this is a good clarification i thought brock purdy had intentions to be very dumb with the ball
