I don’t think I expressed myself correctly. You can’t have a QB who throws for 2 TDs, 1 INT, 65% completions, 95 passer rating, leads the team in rushing with zero designed running plays, and lose a game. Injuries definitely play a part but 11 penalties for 90 yards and a missed FG that would have made the game 20-22 are unacceptable. O-line protection was unacceptable. Having the worst 4th quarter defense is unacceptable. These have been year long problems and the front office and coaching staff have to start taking accountability.

@@9ernorm84 ok, i guess you don't actually watch the games and you believe the stats. those numbers are fake. Purdy bailing out in time skews those numbers. go watch an actual game and see that mahomes has more time on the average play. I dont care what the numbers say, I know what I see and Purdy might have time on 1st or 2nd down which might skew the stats, but when its a critical 3rd down, the weak-ass Niner Oline is terrible. Notice how Brock got sacked a couple times vs Miami and he actually escaped a few more would-be sacks, and how many times did we sack Tua? Yeah, none. Our oline is trash dude.

[@9ernorm84]

@bobbymira8234 I guess you don't watch games and you are led by people like Lombardi... see that 2.6 seconds is pocket time.. you know time he spends in the pocket before he gets all Getty and panicky and scrambles where he then average just over 3 seconds at 3.08.. im not completely dissing the fact that the oline could use a couple upgrades but to sit there and call it trash or garbage or blame them for all the losses is complete bs... I mean cmon everything Brock suits the bed it's blamed on the oline but no credit for the oline if kept upright. Nothing completely against Brock either I think he's a good qb.. he played like ass this year with the rest of the team not worth 60 mil.. it's up to him to adjust and play better next year.. stop acting like he's some Tom Brady or some shit this year cause he isn't even close

[@bobbymira8234]

​@@9ernorm84 blah blah blah, our Oline is garbage! know why Purdy has played bad this year at times? because its easy like really easy for any defense to exploit the shitty play of banks, Brendal and mckivitz, and now Jalen Moore. go look it up, cmon I dare you - Brendal is THE WORST rated center in the NFL. Im not making that up. So when Brock tries to make something happen, and gets the slightest bit of pressure, he panics. Sometimes he doesn't have to, but he's trying to focus on the receivers, but how can he when one or more O-line guy is F-N up????? Even Richard Sherman did a whole thing on his podcast about the Niners needing to fix the line. he said we need at least 3 guys. If even Sherman says that (along with our fanbase) then you know our line is shit. So get outta here with this 2.6 second crap because it's irrelevant. Brock may have time on certain plays but on too many occasions hes being pressured. way too many. Garbage line.

@@karenhardie1132 I’ve never forgotten it’s a team game. No arguments on egregious Oline, but you can’t lambast the entire rest of the team and let Purdy off the hook when he makes another critical game ending error. Again he’s not the only one to blame, but AGAIN, if your contract takes up 15-20% of the salary cap you’re gonna have to be the one who makes up for deficiencies else where instead of contributing to the deficiencies. There are lots of teams with bad Olines, you have to adapt. You have to be the reason for winning often times or at least don’t pile on and compound the rest of the teams mistakes. There’s just extra responsibility at the QB position and that’s the fortunate or unfortunate part when you look at it. Purdy shouldn’t get a pass for his own errors. He needs to own it with the rest of the team. Missed tackles, missed field goals, dropped passes etc. This team has been in a season long full team tail spin from training camp. Ultimately I still point to the rest disadvantage and this staff having so many coaches poached in the last few years. Hard to over come, but Brock HAS to play better more mistake free. I could care less about the yardage. Those are fantasy football stats and I just don’t care about em. Plenty of things to fix on this team, and Brock IS one of them. No more excuses.

NO DO NOT WASTE A DRAFT PICK ON A KICKER.... wtf r u talking about?! we did great for many years signing veterans. akers, phil dawson, robbie gould.... the only time we had a bad kicker is when we drafted one. we dont need to be wasting any draft picks on kickers. just sign a veteran like we always did. kickers are one of the least expensive positions on the team. they are much better off taking their chance on a OL or DL player with their draft pick. moody needs to be replaced without a doubt. but we cant waste draft picks on kickers. thats the dumb mentality that got is in this mess with moody. and to think one of the first picks of the draft we used on a kicker! like we had no other positions of need? its ridiculous. i think if the same person that decided to draft a kicker with our 2nd pick in that draft is the same person that decided to trade away 3 first round picks for a qb with little college experience, i think they need to either fire that person or completely take the drafting decisions away from them. because they are horrible and they need to get someone that knows what they are doing to handle the draft from now on. i have a feeling it is john lynch, not only because he is the GM and that is his responsibility. but lynch comes off to me as an extremely low iq, extremely dumb airhead like he took too mny blows to the head when he played football. they need a REAL GM. it is a damn shame they didnt give that job to adam peters. now wshington is looking great now because they have a good gm, that should be our gm right now! jed york is a moron too.

@@TSQreacts Its actually not a bad take. I like Purdy and I think he has elite traits, but he does have that gunslinger mentality which gets him in trouble. There are times where he forces it under pressure. Sometimes it works, sometimes its an INT.

Since we know he has these tendencies, that could affect how his contract plays out.

I think Greenlaw and Hufunga will take 1 year prove deals from the team and we make a run next year. I wish Deebo had played like this in the previous Rams game. He looked like his old self running over DBs. This game was not on Purdy at all. The game highlights how close winning/losing is in the NFL due to injuries. I feel like giving Moody one more shot next year, if he struggles in the first month, he is gone and we have a new kicker. It seems to me that when he misses a field goal/extra point, it's almost a given we lose the game. I'm not putting the whole blame on him, but it gives me an indication on how the game will go for the niners. Well, I can sit back and not care about the playoffs/Super Bowl this year.

Brock Purdy is a very good QB and the 49ers are lucky to have him. He played well against the Dolphins and has performed effectively behind an unsatisfactory O-line while missing star players. He should and will get rewarded by a big new contract. Many of the critical takes on Purdy by the national media are unfounded and overreactionary. But David, I wish your coverage of the Niners did not make such a centerpiece out of insulating Purdy from any honest consideration of his limitations and, worse, scolding and dismissing any fan who might raise questions about him. Titling your immediate post-game video “Blaming Brock Purdy-who played well-is low-level analysis” as if to preempt any possible negative assessment, and calling anyone who dares to be critical “idiotic,” is heavy-handed, over-compensatory, and a bit silly. Justly calling out unfair and uninformed criticism of Purdy s one thing. Disallowing and delegitimizing any criticism whatsoever is another. You may not have to put your thumb on the scale as much as you apparently feel you need to.

That’s a great point. It seems that it don’t matter what Brock does the rest of the season, DL has already determined Brocks value regardless of there being games still left to be played.

[@brandonromero6806]

All Im going to say that if your criteria for a QB is make miracle plays even when the offensive line is down to 3rd stringers and you are on your 5th string running back and your best receiver is a tight end..then you want Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes and they aren’t available. No Purdy isn’t even in the same stratosphere as Allen,burrow,Lamar or Mahomes. Those QBs are 1 of 1 generational talents. Now you can bet your future trying to win the lottery if you like or you can build around the bird in hand. Yknow the one you know can win when the pieces are healthy. If the 9ers are even 50 percent healthier next year,pirdy will look awesome ,the 9ers will own the division and all of your fair weather fans will be all smug and proud. Smart organizations when their qb needs more talent…they get their qb more talent. Why do you think the eagles added Saquon? Why the packers went and got Josh Jacobs. Why the ravens added derrick henry.

[@algarbarino403]

Pearsall was a bad draft pick. He was a projected 5th round pick. Even if you wanted to go that route, there were better receivers on the board. They needed to take an offensive lineman at that pick. Lynch is shakey early in the draft. I think they need to get a personnel guy who advised them better. What they say in Trey Lance amazes me too because he did not play a lot in college. He has drafted Kinlaw who was an injury bust as well. They could have had Wirfs the year they took Kinlaw. They have drafted Solomon Thomas back in the 2018 draft who was another bust. Lynch and Shanahan are dangerous drafters in the first rounds.

[@shannonpeacock3509]

@@blackfreud9048 when you watch your own tape every week I think you have to stop blaming the coaching. Players execute or don’t. At this level after you’ve played QB since at least high school you shouldn’t need a coach to tell you not to throw bad INTs when the game is still in reach. Nothing wrong with check downs. Decision making is every QBs best friend. He is too aggressive too often. I don’t need spectacular. A few of the spectacular plays ina game when you absolutely need them, amen, but you have to know the situation and play accordingly. Better weapons, better coaching? Cmon. Throw it to Kittle. He’s as good as it gets. Deebo had a decent game. There were multiple players open underneath. That’s on Brock.

[@blackfreud9048]

@ I don’t agree. First of all, it’s Kyle’s job to get the best outta his players. He didn’t and he throws them under the bus regularly after crappy games all the time. He never once shoulders or blame for anything. Second, he and John are either stupid or tone deaf on too many their draft picks (Lance v 3 first rounders?). Without Brock they shoulda been fired at that point.), and trades. They need more consistent O-line play but can’t pull together a unit that holds up under extreme pressure (I give you Chris Jones, “3rd and goal” in the SB, for the win). This year the same mediocre crew, except Puni. Williams has not had a good year. Brock is under immediate pressure too many times. Kyle relies on that as a justification for ignoring the weak line. He knows Brock can escape. Not signing BA early on, was pathetic. He was Brock’s best target. He comes in late, outta shape, gets hurt, and no one steps up to replace his production. I agree with you about Kittle. He’s a HOF level tight end. He and Purdy have had several multiple TD games. Purdy tries to do exactly what Kyle asks of him. Problem is Kyle has been out coached against every winning team they played this year, and Brock ends up holding the bag after every one. He has had to push it, aggressively, in the second halves to make up for ridiculous game plans, burning out CMC, and receivers who can’t separate. Yes, he needs to improve against “man.” But, he can’t throw it and catch it for them. Pearsall got a bum deal this year getting shot, so we really don’t know what he is. Why Kyle and John do not have world class speed on this team is a major flaw. You can’t win a SB with a team full of possession receivers (That’s prolly why Kyle has a hard-on for Cousins,). We won’t even talk about the “D” and special teams. They’ve stunk, which may have some bearing on field position…..IDK.). Last year Deebo admitted he doesn’t run hard on every play. (This year he’s tried his best to live up to that claim.). I saw Joe Montana play. They said the same negative things about him. Joe loves this kid. They’re about the same, physically, and Brock’s more athletic. Yes, players “play” the game. But Brock has not been the reason this season stinks. He deserves top money if you look up his stats and record. Kurt Warner was playing semi-pro until the Rams found him and gave him a great supporting cast. You judge him too harshly. All he needs is Bill Walsh and he’d be Joe 2.0. We’re stuck with Kyle and his inability to learn from his mistakes and his 0-3 SB record (OC and HC). Brock will improve. Let’s see if the rest of the team is properly re-stocked. Personally, I would not bring back Kyle.

Stop letting Purdy off the hook for game ending INTs. Stop with the stats. It’s all negated by poor decision making. He again had players underneath open. Shitty Oline or not, you have to play within the situation. Situational awareness is paramount. If your Oline isn’t performing well, you have to adapt. Period. That’s situational awareness. He’s playing too much hero ball. Tired of it and tired of hearing excuses. Back breaking mistakes. Is he the only one? Or course not. But if you’re going to take up 15-20% of the salary cap , YOU HAVE TO either be the reason for overcoming the rest of the teams mistakes or at bare minimum not contributing to the downfall. I think every game Purdy has a TO, they’ve lost. Enough said. That’s my stat that trumps ALL your stats. You always need the Oline David, but stop making miracles and just stop making mistakes. It’s pretty basic and unsexy, but it wins games. Trent Dilfer, SB champion because he just didn’t ed it up. Regardless of ALL the other team failures, which he can’t control, he can play smarter, better situational football. Period.
