All players are injured at this point in the season. Herbert took an inferior squad to the playoffs with destroyed rib cartilage.

[@nakfoor1846]

I'm a 49er fan and my observation is that the thing that makes Purdy special is his accuracy. Shanahan's offense emphasizes quick, accurate passes so that the receivers can get YAC. Jimmy G was getting really good by the time he was injured, but previously his ball placement left much to be desired. Often thrown high at the receivers fingertips. Purdy from his first snap makes a quick decision, hits the receivers in the body, in the direction they are going, consistently.

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

Even Nick Mullens looked better when it came to ball placement at times compared to Jimmy G

[@neor4497]

True Jimmy G's placement at times were high and receivers had to jump for them. Yes, Jimmy G wins games but having that extra IT factor with Purdy as QB adds a different look.

[@MisterCee41510]

Spot on.

[@micahkiyimba8641]

This Kid's processing seems elite. Intelligence/ Defense reading will always be the biggest attribute of a good QB. This breakdown is such an eye opener As for the "Bad" throws, he will see those on film and work to improve. But he's a rookie still, so he'll make some rookie errors, as any rookie QB should. But this kid can be elite at this level. As for the deep post route,I disagree...The 45 yrd TD Kittle caught vs Washington was meant for Ray Ray McLoud who WAS Running a deep post.Washington dared him to hit that ball and he did so. So he's already ticked that box

[@IamBIGuUS]

The throw as meant for Kittle all the way, Kittle just went rogue. The middle safety was sitting on the deep in, Kittle saw his flat feet and just ran by him, which is why there were two receivers in the same spot. That wasn't design it was a read on the fly

[@t4d0W]

I wouldn't say elite but Shanahan's system makes it easy to work the progressions and given all that strong talent around the perimeter, he just has to pick right consistently to give them the ball and make a play in space. I think the few great things that do stick out in his starts has been his pocket awareness/navigation and his consistency in structure. Many QB1s get giddy with their feet when the pocket gets messy but Brock has done well with those. Along with stepping up and even taking a big hit when throwing his deep bombs when the matchup presents itself. Can't ask for more from a guy who just has to stick with script and execute.

[@micahkiyimba8641]

@@IamBIGuUS Ray Ray McLoud run an inside post on the CB 1 vs 1. Kittle say the safety step up(Anticipating a 2nd level/ Intermediate throw) and got in behind him by running a go route.

[@daneberhardt8658]

Yeah his arm is plenty strong. He’s thrown 4 balls that have traveled at least 30 yards in the air. 4 more than JG

[@williambruneau]

I completely agree. The ball may not be that fast but fast enough for a 60 yard touchdown

[@t4d0W]

Besides Shanahan wasn't looking deep into day 3 of the draft for a dude with an special ass arm. Those guys are already taken in the earlier rounds. He's looking EXACTLY for a guy who sticks with the script to execute and make the smart decisions 7-10 times to march down the field. If that QB can make a 40 yr throw off a mismatch read they saw, big bonus. The pocket navigation is already a big bonus since even most QB1s in the league struggle moving in messy pockets.

[@billyd5749]

This. His arm is fine. He has absolutely zipped balls into small windows many times.

[@KevonDaDon]

Y’all kno when they say their arm is strong/special is because they’re being relative to other Qbs in the league right?

[@jeffreydhill]

On his pressure to sack rate: Obviously quick release and quick reads is a big part of this, but his athleticism is surprising. He has an elite 10 yard split (1.55, 95th percentile among QBs), so while he doesn't have top end speed (mediocre 4.8 40), his acceleration is similar to a 4.3-4.4 40 yard runner. It's uncanny how often he gets a guy in his face and absolutely bursts away and gets rid of the ball. When it comes to evading rushers, pressuring the line of scrimmage and stretching the defense horizontally, he's up there with anyone.

[@SayNoobB4ULeave]

Yes. a few bad throws a game is enough to go from really good to pretty bad. A QB is not their highlight reel. He might become really good if he fixes those couple of throws a game, but that is the difference between guys who look promising and fizzle out, and the guys who remain top tier starters for year.

[@dabbingtoast7743]

That’s how it works. Example being that Tua is an awesome statistical QB. If you ignore the fact that he consistently under throws his wide open receivers and throws at least 3 atrocious passes a game that should be picked off. Hence he’s just middling.

[@karsenhummel9341]

Brock Purdy is 10x better at executing this 49ers offense than Jimmy G. This video completely ignores his oblique injury in the Seattle game which was during a short week. He barely practiced and still executed when they needed him. If a 1st round pick QB does that scouts will be praising him. But when Brock Purdy does it means he’s not ready to lead a team to the SB? Brock Purdy has completely revitalized this 49ers offense and has elevated Kyle Shanahan’s play-calling. He is the perfect system QB which Brady was and he won 7x super bowls with that. Tired of scouts writing off prospects because they can’t throw a 100mph heater that most receivers can’t catch anyway.

[@travisov]

But he hit the deep post against WAS last week? Likewise he hit the deep wheel route against Tampa. I love how you featured his footwork. You made a point I've been all about with him: he leaves his base "available" for the deep shot. That's something JG doesn't do. Ultimately, I hope the NFL world sees that a QB doesn't have to win a shootout to win the SB. This Niner defense deserves to be discussed among the greatest ever, and will make Brock's job a little easier

[@littlebabycarrotful]

Uh, did you not see the deep post he threw to McCloud that George kittle got in front of for a TD? I thought the Washington game might have been his best. He didnt have much of a run game to lean on

[@yerdadkinda]

This is a good example of Brock getting analyzed differently than other rookie QBs. There's a built in bias it seems. Historically, if a rookie was playing this well everybody mainly focuses on the player's upside. They don't ignore the downside but it's usually brushed off as "he's a rookie, he'll get better." Brock, even after what he's done, is still getting pessimistic coverage for the most part. Hard for people, even Alex it seems, to look past size and draft position even if there's plenty of historical evidence to do so. I appreciate the in depth look at his downsides though. Most others have just disregarded him with very little analysis. My prediction, he's the 49er starter for the foreseeable future but he probably loses the nfc championship or the super bowl in what will probably end up being his first shootout with the eagles or chiefs.

[@newerax1009]

1000% accurate. Although, I think he can still go to the SB, I agree with your initial analysis

[@squidusn71]

That's why we need to see the team lose a game and see. Also, I'd like to see if he can come from behind.

[@Kobejp8]

I think the difference here is that even though it’s unfair, Purdy is in a position that most rookie QBs don’t find themselves in: playing for a contender. Obviously he’ll develop within the next couple years, but he doesn’t have the time to develop within the next month

[@stevemadak6255]

Yes. And also i think it's easier and safer to bet the under. What rookie comes out and does this? They bet on him failing. I see a poise in this kid not many have

[@yerdadkinda]

@@Kobejp8 I just look at Mahomes and the coverage he got. He was put in a very similar situation as Purdy, one could argue even better because he got to sit and learn for a year, and he has gotten positive coverage since he first game before we knew what he would become

[@Spooky_515]

Purdys footwork, being able to throw on the run from multiple angles, leads the receivers, confident, leadership skills and a handful of intangibles are going to make this kid a star for years barring injury. Purdy is only improving there is no regression in his game. People forget he’s playing injured due to another one of his abilities which is toughness. This dudes opinion seems like a copy of most Purdy critics. Fails to mention Purdys amazing 10 yard split time, the fact that the Niners are averaging 10pts more than they had with Jimmy G, that the 2 games he blasted were without Deebo and Purdy has found a way to get Kittle involved in the passing attack far more than before. The chemistry Purdy and Kittle have developed is scary

[@Msuperballerj]

“Pablo Sanchez level athlete” 😂😂😂iykyk

[@cobot5784]

My impression of Purdy is that he’s a winner. I always thought Jimmy G was a high floor low ceiling type. The moment was never too big for him but he was consistently inconsistent. With Trey Lance, it was the exact opposite - low floor high ceiling. I always thought Trey Lance was in over his head with flashes of athleticism. Purdy looks like what I always imagined a young Joe Montana looked. Purdy may or may not ever reach the same ballpark as the Mount Rushmore of QBs, but I’m excited to watch the journey.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

As others have pointed out, Purdy was playing with an oblique and rib injury against the Seahawks and Commanders. That's probably why his game was off a bit. Yes, Purdy does not have a huge arm, but he does have far more deep TDs and completions than Jimmy, in far fewer games.

[@antonecruz9975]

What about the post/seam Purdy hit to kittle against Washington? It seemed like the safety was daring him to throw it and it resulted in a touchdown.

[@littlebabycarrotful]

Yeah I don't know how he missed that

[@legionwatchessports4029]

Not sure how you make this video without even acknowledging his oblique and rib injuries that were so bad that he could barely throw the ball at warmups vs Seattle. The Niners were legitimately preparing to play with Josh Johnson and did not expect Purdy to complete the game.

[@crystalblue64]

Easy. He already came to a conclusion about Brock's ability, and removed any evidence in the video that may contradict that conclusion.

[@jamesnguyen_1]

[@tdjekins21]

Can't throw the deep post, yet against Washington he threw 45 yards IN THE AIR and perfectly hit Kittle for TD. Granted Kittle "stole" that catch, but Ray Ray was right there as well and the result would have been the same. This proves he indeed CAN make that throw.

[@tdjekins21]

Plus his side arm quick throw right at the beginning of the game was a thing of beauty as well. Without that adjustment it's tipped at the very least, maybe worse

[@micahkiyimba8641]

[@crystalblue64]

[@dfgalex]

I think ur final take was in poor taste. He was playing through an oblique and rib injury that had josh johnson ready to go if need be. Also this is by far the best roster in the league and better than their 2019 roster

[@TheQuintessentialBM]

Brock Purdy wasn't a NOBODY! He was among the elite QB's in the Big XII. The issue with him and Iowa State was the team AND himself came up small when the stakes were at their highest. He even beat my OU Sooners twice while in college. Like most of the QB's that came out of the Big XII, they just needed time to adjust to the speed of the game and limit interceptions. Purdy shouldn't have dropped as far as he did, but give the Niners doing b their due diligence and making a calculated gamble, they got the QB steal of the draft.

[@Nick1977er]

Mac couldn't find the right read quick enough for cover zero vs the Dolphins, when they did it to Brock he recognized quickly anticipated knowing he's either gonna take a hit regardless and deliver the ball

[@axegrinder3969]

First of all, citing a drop in play the last two games and not mentioning his oblique injury is short-sighted. Secondly he’s exhibited more than adequate arm strength on multiple occasions. Not sure why analysts keep bringing up the arm strength issue. Might be time to hang your hats on something else, if you can.

[@mattcrazy7070]

Personally this is a bad take. How are his few mistakes “seriously concerning” the Seattle game he was playing through a rib injury, and didn’t throw a single pass all week in practice. The Commanders game he came out in the second half and didn’t repeat his few mistakes from the first. Sure he’s a rookie and will learn, but at this point nitpicking the LAST PICK of the draft is a little pointless. I mean doesn’t mahomes have like 11 interceptions? He’s stepped into his role nearly perfectly and is doing a fine job.

He is really good at recognizing his mistakes and corrects them. I think we expect him to not make any, when is reality him being a rookie he will make mistakes. But I love his IQ and how he corrrcts them. In the commanders game his first half wasn’t so good. But after halftime he came out guns blazing. His arm is strong and he showed it. I think he plays it off like he doesn’t. I believe we got real talent in the making

[@cheehee808_]

Basically you're saying "he's got some dawg in him" and I totally agree lol.

[@hagamapama]

The raiders game was full of this. This was the first game where the pressure was really on Purdy specifically to catch up with the Raiders' offense which was having a good day at the office. He made some mistakes but in the second half he put the team on his back and came through repeatedly in the clutch. This is the kind of experience that is huge for a rookie's development and it says many good things about Purdy which we wouldn't have learned if every game went to plan.

[@backyardbirderhd4562]

Every QB misses throws, has fails in footwork, and can be picked apart like this.

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

In my honest opinion, it feels like Brock Purdy is a mixture of 2001 Tom Brady, 2017 Nick Foles, and 1999 Kurt Warner.

[@wiredtardis]

With Deebo coming back soon, I'd have to say that I believe Purdy could play like Trent Dilfer and we'd still have a solid shot at winning it all. But at this rate, he's on track to score as many TDs as Russell Wilson this season. I'd call that enough to win it all with this defense and this set of running backs (when healthy).

[@markthesharkman]

For this year, Niners should be able to win with Brock Purdy. The defense should prevent being put in a hole to need to come from behind. The focused running game should be able to control the clock. And if opposing defenses sell out to stop the run, Brock seems to be skilled enough to make them pay for it. A lot of folks give thoughtful criticism for Brock in a general sense, which is fair since most evaluations are in the context of going to any team. However, in the narrow context of Brock can win on this team in this system in this year, anything less would be a disappointment.

Brock Purdy has as many TD passes of 25+ yards this season as Patrick Mahomes has (6). Purdy is a better compliment to run game. Jimmy couldn’t make the D pay for stacking the LOS. It’s unlocked the offense and at some point, defenses will have to adjust, which will in turn help our run game. Purdy is everything Shanahan wants in a QB. He’s a rich man’s Kirk Cousins. Christian McCaffrey is excellent, but the 49ers needed an upgrade at quarterback, not running back. That’s why they scored 13 points against the Saints. The season turned when Brock Purdy became the QB. The 49ers scored 37 points last week against a top 5 defense even though Christian McCaffrey was limited to 58 yards from scrimmage and Deebo Samuel didn’t play. That’s the Purdy Effect.

The defense scored a TD...just sayin'

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

I don't think that's giving Kirk enough credit, there's a monster gap in between the two. Purdy has an elite scheme and roster surrounding him. That Washington game he made some nice throws, but a lot of those points came from turnovers/great field position

[@clu4u]

Peeps forget the in the SB Jimmy was 18-21 in the first 3 qtrs, then 3-10 in the 4th qtr. that and the dropped INT lost them the SB.

Is this the same dude who said Justin Herbert was going to be a bust?

[@JoshBreakdowns]

Coming back to this after a couple weeks, a lot of this isn't holding up. This isn't a knock on the analyst, as we all know Alex Rollins is absolutely tremendous and the best of the best when it comes to breaking down technique. Instead I believe it shows a Progression of Brock Purdy since then. In fact, the word "regression" was probably too strong a word to use at this early stage. My reasoning: The injury affected his throws, this has since resolved. His footwork is right back on track; this was apparent in the second half of the Raiders game, and is an example of some of the in-game corrections Purdy has made, which is not always common for rookies. His tendancy to escape the pocket had defenses (Seattle) attempting to use that to their advantage, but Purdy has also been working on turning that from a negative into a playmaking ability; it is surreal to see this aspect of his game progressing in real time. He misses some throws. Too early to tell if these are red flags, rookie mistakes, or simply missed throws (which applies to all QBs). However his completions are crazy efficient (partly because of the Shanahan system). Vs Seattle 13 of his 18 Completions went for 1st Downs (two went for 6 and 7 yards on 1st and 10). The other three went for Touchdowns. He has 1.0 Interceptable Passes per Game according to fantasydata dot com; this would average to 17 per season, on par with the top QBs in the League. That context is huge because it makes it easier to live with his tight window throws, which he doesn't shy away from. Nevertheless the majority of his throws are schemed open by Kyle, some of which rely on making the right read quickly (fast processing). It seems so simple when I look at it from the All - 22 yet it's maddening when, say, Jimmy Garoppolo misses the throw or even the read completely. In fact that's the name of the game, getting the ball to the open receiver. It's wild to think about how many QBs can't do this. Purdy is among the top passers who can. In summary, Purdy has healed from his injury, made corrections, progressed certain aspects of his game play, can throw into tight windows, and gets the ball to wide open receivers, sometimes using his feet to help him do so. He also has the ability to throw from multiple arm angles and has a great feel for where defenders are. He does miss some throws but his crazy efficiency makes up for it. He has things to work on, he is a rookie. Is the hype a little high? Perhaps, but his ceiling is sky high. He is at the very least a Franchise Quarterback for the 49ers. I suspect another video will need to be made soon. As always Alex, I look forward to all of them 👍👍

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

Thanks brother! I still think the hype is too high, and honestly I think he isn't playing in structure as well as he did in his first few games, but the offensive scheme and talent are both beyond elite and he continues to put up numbers.

[@shane-zl8bu]

"Major Concerns" is just being controversial for the sake of being controversial lol.

[@DGarrettDG]

Miami has one of the worst defenses in the league and the Niners offense is stacked. He's in an amazing situation compared to other young QBs, not a tough one. The question is how he'll handle the pressure and more prepared defenses in the playoffs

[@cowboy7170]

He got a Seahawk to jump offsides with a hard count.....That's Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady level.

[@SanFranFan30]

I just hope Purdy can help teach Trey Lance the timing and footwork then the 49ers can have at QB with the arm strength to attack the defense deep and the comfort to execute the offense with proper timing.

[@astrostar49]

Hey Alex. As a 49ers fan I really appreciate you doing this video. Before I share my thoughts on Purdy I want to just say that I know you've gone through a bit of a rough patch with your family, which I was disheartened to hear about. Especially around the holidays. You said that everything ultimately worked out, so that's great, but I know that must have still been difficult to go through. Glad to see that the community stepped up during this time, and provided a lot of support towards you, and your grandmother. Best wishes moving forward. As for Purdy, as interesting a story this magic carpet ride has been, I do also have concerns about the future. At first blush he seems pretty confident on the gridiron, and seems to have a really good ability to nimble-waltz his way in the pocket, and potentially out of danger. Reminds me of Romo or Brunell in that regard. However, his lack of arm talent might ultimately hold him back the longer time marches on even if he stacks more EXP. I guess I take solace that at least for this season, he still gives this team a chance to get to the Super Bowl, but I don't know about winning it all. I will say that even though he's probably in the best situation in the league in terms of coaching staff/roster talent, he should have still been drafted by some team a bit earlier. Overall, I thought your remarks were balanced, and fair. As always, I learned a lot, so once again thank you.

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

Thanks TLD, always appreciate your comments bro. I showed this to my Grandma and she was very happy to read it, so thank you man. My worry with him is that no matter how unbelievably loaded this roster is, to win the SB, it will at some point come back to the QB and Purdy will have to make big time throws. I don't think he can do that unless his footwork is as good as it was the first two weeks (and even then I have my doubts).

[@marvfj6451]

Ignore any viewer who questions your expertise. You're analysis is so very helpful, and if you are wrong, or a player improves, you'll say so. (See, e.g. Justin Herbert 2020 initial & follow up videos-- he really has fixed flaws...)

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

Thanks Marv!

[@dirtysouthmaui1]

He started 11/11 in Seattle..

[@coreyburgh5831]

Great video but the Seattle game he was less than 100% from the oblique injury. So he really did play like he wasn't super healthy. Honestly, Kyle even mentioned he was strongly considering sitting him.

[@gehrig7593]

Subpar analysis. How can you miss that his regression precisly concides with his oblique injury?

[@eskewroberts7663]

Hold up, didn't he have an injury? If he was playing in pain out discomfort, wouldn't that affect his footwork, especially since he's a 7th round rookie? I'll admit I'm not a scout out anything, but when evaluating someone so young and unknown, wouldn't it be more fair to judge him by the healthy plays? Just my two cents

[@harrydhatt9242]

That conclusion was weak lol. Brock can definitely hit that throw that jimmy couldn’t

[@justinah7400]

Alex Rollins opinion on a player like Brock Purdy means as much as the average" Twitter "expert"

[@jaheim_rakim]

(Paul Heyman voice) BRRRROCK PUURRRDY!

[@olimakepeace5974]

If the best defense and a good offense caries him on to the Super Bowl, I think he can get the job done. Great video

[@omarmarentes2189]

this is good !

[@IanJBarker]

Great analysis, Alex. I think it's extreme to call any small hitches on limited examples a "regression", but I understand how the concepts highlighted are important to correct.

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

Thanks Ian! That was just one of many examples, it would take a long time to show them all.

[@IanJBarker]

@@AlexRollinsNFL that's fair. Probably a mistake on my part to assume that showing two examples means there were only two instances... ;)

[@weskelley2485]

He’s a rookie, and one with an oblique injury at that. He’s had more 30+ air yard TDs in 4 weeks than Jimmy has had for us throughout his career. He had a sloppy first half in seattle and then cleaned it up in the 2nd half. He’s played damn well so far
