DON'T fukk THIS UP (AGAIN) KYLE!! EDIT: HE DID!!! ....2024 SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS SEASON THREAD.

The narrative has forever been that Brock has a weak arm or at the very least that it is an issue in his game. But now we somehow are arguing about something we all actually agree on (that he has fine arm strength and that it's not an issue)

Going back to Mahomes though..

Last year there was a static on him saying like 80-90% of all his passes where 10 yards or less.

But he was praised for that.

Not even getting on Purdy, when Alex Smith was doing that, he was criticized as dinking and dunking…. But I digress

Part of the game, kiddo. We were extremely lucky last year as we were very healthy. You think that happens again?

Before last season we were the most injured team over a 5 year stretch... law of averages would say we were due another healthy year even though I didn't expect it

Purdy can make all the throws we need him to make

The 2022 season was healthy as well though. The big injuries were all on QBs and it largely turn out for the better as it meant Brock took over...though of course it also meant the NFCCG being over before it even started . But that final stretch and playoff run we basically had all our playmakers as healthy as possible.

Two consecutive deep playoff runs with that kind of health is almost impossible in today's NFL. Asking for a third one is asking for a miracle.

bruh, stop.

Stop what?

You still ain’t tell me what I did wrong with the previous post?

Man fukk this being serious & real for a moment.

I’m just gonna go back to the fukkery and these jokes cuz this gatekeeping or subjugation getting out of control

Just want to ask, what’s the minimum distance need to be thrown to be considered having a strong arm or to classify a pass as a bomb?

35+ Yards?
40+ Yards?
45+ Yards?
50+ Yards?

I like to evaluate arm strength on how much zip is on the ball, you know like Marino

Gotcha…. I think that makes since for “us spectators” if we are there live everyday and can see it in person….

But watching on video? Not sure we can accurately judge

Brock Purdy has to be one of the most quietly elite QBs I can think of in recent memory. I mean his ability to make quick reads an an even faster release. Got Jauan Jennings looking like a pro bowler.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Purdy has had better numbers than most QBs the last two seasons including all of the advanced metrics but there's two things going on...

1. People like scouts or talking heads don't typically like to admit they were "wrong" on a late round draft pick, especially a QB... so there's still some bias and hesitancy to "buy in"

2. QBs are graded by Super Bowl wins a lot of times and it's interesting... if you've never made a Super Bowl you are given more of a pass than if you have made a Super Bowl but didn't come out victorious.

Silly comparison, what Chiefs players would start on our team aside from Kelce?
