Rich Eisen: Why Brock Purdy & the 49ers Look Unstoppable in the NFC Right Now

[@rwamhoff71]

Rich is the only guy that actually legitimately praises Purdy for what he is good at. He doesn’t give the credit to every other guy on the team and say he’s just a game manager and beneficiary of being on a talented team. Not unlike Joe Montana, or Steve Young… Thank you, Rich.!!

[@jeremyroberts8822]

I’ve always hated that “game manager” term the media uses. Technically they are all game managers, that’s literally what the QB’s job is is to read what the defense is doing, execute the offense and manage the damn game.

People needs to recognize something. This 49ers team, this team of superstars; McCaffrey, Deebo, Kittle, Aiyuk, Williams, Bosa, Warner, etc; they voted a second year, last pick in the draft, former 3rd team, 23 year old QB with a total of seven starts in his career as a team captain before the season. I mean, really think about that. A lot of football had been played by the rest of that roster, a lot of guys that have been around the league for a long time, a lot of guys with leadership qualities and experience, they voted as a team captain. Seriously, what does that say about him?

If he can nab 500 more yards, in the next 3 games, he will have thrown for the most yards, of any 49ers QB, in the history of the organization. Seems like a sure thing. And, an amazing achievement for a 2nd year player.

Love that Purdy said that McCaffery should be MVP. Should we take away from McCaffery because he runs behind Trent Williams? Should we take away McCaffery because he gets great blocking from receivers and tight ends? No. Should McCaffery win the Offensive Player of the Year? Yes. But if a Quarterback is going to be the MVP it should be Purdy.

One of the reasons Brock Purdy is so important to the team is his leadership. How many young quarterbacks having the success Purdy has up to this point without letting it go to their heads. Purdy is perfect for the 49ers. The 49ers run a complex offense with lots of moving parts, and to run it as hot as it is capable it requires a high level of calm, lightning fast processing to get the ball out fast. One of the big reasons the 49ers have so many weapons is because Purdy processes at an elite level, gets through his reads and gets to the ball to the best option and does not play favorites. Brock can make all the passes, has the speed and athleticism to extend plays and keep defenses honest but is always looking to pass downfield. While Brock does have the rocket like are so other quarterbacks posses, his passes are thrown with touch and accuracy making it easier for his target to catch balls in stride and add YAC. Brock is on a great team with some great players, but Brock makes them better.

[@joevialpando9296]

Quite simply, Purdy makes high level QB play look easy. His read-progressions, his pocket awareness, his anticipation, and most importantly, his mental resolve. The thing is, on any given pass play, there will be someone open on EVERY play. The only question is, can you as the QB find that player in the sea of bodies. Purdy finds that player almost every time. Again, he makes it LOOK easy.

[@Rasyaady11]

The one thing that's been disappointing about Brocky Purdy this year is, instead of people acknowledging the historic performance that's happening before their eyes and that this might not be seen again, it is sad. I mean, the kid is breaking records set by legends and hall of fame QB, some not even done before and all I hear is he's surrounded by a good team. He's in his 2nd year and this proficient? Just wait till he has more experience and an off-season to work with his weapons. Yall forgetting he's fresh off and surgery and didn't have training. 😂 I love watching him play, it is truly inspiring what he's been able to do with all the hate and others counting you out.

If anyone could do it, where tf are those guys? Purdy is a great player forged at a blue collar school, not a blue chip one. He is able to make great reads behind an NFL caliber line because he had to play behind a not so great college one. Easy to appreciate one of the best o-lines when you have that level of mental processing, which honestly isn't a terrible thing to have when you aren't the most physically gifted guy.

He reminds me of a young Brady with his eyes down field and pocket presence but he can scramble too. Fantastic talent

[@patrickkealy4387]

Lets be real here. Right now the Niners are the most unstoppable team in all of the NFL. Barring serious injuries to their key players on offense and defense they are a lock to be in the super Bowl and will probably win that also.

Incoming "He's not even the best player of his team" comments. I just want someone to show me a clip of CMC, Deebo, Aiyuk, and Kittle throwing themselves the ball

[@jamespreston7823]

the beauty of Purdy is that he always *_looks_* like he's "rolling it out" the greatest compliment you'll ever receive ? damn man, you make that look so simple

[@jonathan9506]

As a German 49ers fan since 1982 I can only say, THIS Lynch/Shanahan Team is a gift, a weapon, a dream! But, it needs also fortune to close it with the Lombardy Trophy in February, too. Let‘s enjoy this ride, go Niners 👍🏼

Well said

[@bickenbackbeinbool771]

When that boy Purdy gets comfortable in this team, its gonna be something special in the coming years for sure.

[@randyn2396]

Purdy is NOT just rolling it out. He looks polished and gets the ball where it NEEDS to be. Bambi with fangs LMAO.

[@maxpuppy96]

Purdy is the MVP he is on fire all year. 🔥

But but... They mortgaged their future! You know how many times I heard that after the trey lance draft? Future looks bretty bright at the moment.
