The San Francisco 49ers have miraculously found a quarterback with the last pick in the draft in Brock Purdy, but just how good is he? The team is absolutely loaded on offense and defense and have created the perfect ecosystem for any Quarterback to fit into, but does that mean Mr. Irrelevant can take them to the super bowl? This week’s episode uses the all-22 coaches film to analyze the San Francisco 49ers rookie Quarterback Brock Purdy.

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.

[@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.

[@newerax1009]

@@SayNoobB4ULeave Yeah you’re not watching Niners football bc the throws he didn’t make weren’t even that bad.

Top 4

[@meishaleonard8621]

His arm is definitely good enough and Drew Brees is short with an average arm, too. That pass to Kittle traveled 50-51 yards in the air. He threw it from the 44 and Kittle caught it 6-7 yards into the endzone

[@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?

[@coachelly86]

“Doesn’t throw the post” Doesn’t show deep post intended for ray ray that Kittle caught for a TD lmao

[@Joseph_H19]

People talk so much about his arm but it is more than fine. Just see the post throw he made to Kittle this past week. He doesn't need a cannon like Mahomes or Allen to make the throws he needs to in his offense. He can read defenses fast, he is mobile moving in the pocket, and can get the ball to his playmakers.

[@caa3rdrail]

In the nearly four full games Purdy's played since Jimmy's foot injury on 12/4, this 7th round kid leads the NFL during that period with a 110 passer rating. I get the haters, get the doubters but you gotta admit this story has gone from cool to crazy. Go ask Broncos fans how they like QBs that DON'T play within the system. I remember a couple of pretty good QBs who worked "within the system" named Montana and Brady, so I'm not sure why this is a dis these days.

[@caa3rdrail]

Also, if his "regression" as you say, is all over the film, I'd look back at that, bc his stats say differently. He got injured vs TB and almost didn't start at SEA, but still hit over 65% of his passes/8.3 AVG/117 RTG (RTG & AVG would be #1 if he played out like that). Better than his MIA outing, btw. Against WSH over 68%/10.6 AVG/114 RTG (all #1), and that D is top 5 (btw those #s were better than Hurts, Cousins, Rodgers, & Lawrence did against WSH). I like your vids, but you do fall into a pattern with your narratives.

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.

[@tsuvtom7668]

Yup, it seems like Brock has been told all his life that he can't do it because of his size and strength. Being a good QB is 75% mental - Joe Montana.

[@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

[@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.

[@kobepowell8752]

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]

@@kobepowell8752 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

[@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.

[@backyardbirderhd4562]

Every QB misses throws, has fails in footwork, and can be picked apart like this. Honestly, he's still performing at the same high level he was at after you claimed his fundamentals started falling apart. Sometimes misses are just misses and are not indicative of an immediate regressions ESPECIALLY if they're still moving the ball with gusto.

[@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.

[@poggle1386]

I’d say the Seahawks play was more so his bruised ribs and hurt oblique getting in the way, but who knows.

[@Antioch97]

Lmao “seriously concerning” last 2 games. He just played really well vs a top 5 Washington defense.

[@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]

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

[@chadnelson1777]

I have to disagree on a couple things. I think the Seahawks game and commanders game is more important. Because when he made mistakes he would immediately come back and start playing good. 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_]

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.

[@obadiahplainman8897]

He hit the deep post to Ray ray, kittle stole it. Purdy IS gonna win the super bowl, mark it down.

[@daneberhardt8658]

I don’t buy the “weak arm” report. He’s already thrown 4 passes over 30+ yards ... 4 more than JG. And those throws were lasers. I *hope* teams keep dating him to throw long.

[@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.

[@Rgnotown]

This guy has the poise in the pocket, and the leadership that a qb needs. We all know he has the mechanics. The team is ready to win now with all the weapons on offense and the best defense in the nfl. If you don’t think he take us all the way to the Super Bowl you are trippin. Blitz all you want and Purdy will pick you apart

[@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.

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?

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.

Fair and balanced. We'll have to keep an eye out for that skinny deep post. I've maintained that while he's been hot out of the gates, we can't consider him a true talent until he shows development and improvement on his weaknesses.

Unreal content. Love me some OG 49ers videos brother. 💯💯💯

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

Thanks my guy!

[@MilspecPanda]

His last two games where far more impressive than the first two Alex.

[@ErikLiberty]

49ers reporter David Lombardi after the Commanders game: "Brock Purdy and Dan Marino are the only QB's in NFL history to register a passer rating of over 100 and throw at least 2 TD passes in their first three career starts."

[@strawsparky33]

Bro whipped out the Pablo Sanchez Backyard Sports reference. you got my sub bro.

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

🫡🫡 game recognize game

Honestly although he has an amazing supporting cast, imo he has been doing a good job of steering the ship per se. I don't think he's being carried at all, actually I think he does a good job at using his legs to make plays. Our offense has been a bit smoother since purdy took over and Jimmy wasn't playing bad at all before he got injured

[@brianjasnica3530]

Love the backyard sports reference

[@joeyamasaki1006]

Really unfortunate to get severe injury... Brock Purdy showed more than Jimmy G and effectively kicked him out from Bay Area. I still am a big fan of Trey Lance's potential and will live in a fantasy where Purdy and Lance play as one-two punches which Bill Walsh envisioned with Montana and Young, well, until next training camp... Thanks again for magic run Purdy! Really hope your best days are ahead.

[@AreYouFNQRAZII]

You gotta do an updated Shanahan 21 offense breakdown‼️

[@grob887]

This was the perfect example of taking control of the opportunity

[@andrewfung8591]

2:50 pablo Sanchez reference 😂

[@cgruthless49erstalk58]

Great stuff . Very good story to the NFL

[@frankl3518]

I think the throw at 7:48 was more an indictment on his arm then his feet. Footwork was clean on that Read play. Pocket was moved. He even read the coverage the same way Aiyuk did and threw it on time. He just couldn't step into it and had to drive it and couldn't get it there

[@fredfuckstone914]

"He's no Pablo Sanchez" Hell yeah, respect

[@_adrian_0753]

he is a smaller guy, his pocket footwork is probably a bit shaky because he wants to avoid getting hit

[@raggie2000]

And as the video is being edited, Purdy throws the deep post to Kittle (Ray-Ray’s route) for a TD. Now what?

[@Justin-zs1ql]

I don't understand the Purdy doubters. The offense was inconsistent and STALE most of the season with Jimmy under center. Brock has helped elevate offensive play, slinging throws sidearm around defenders, all while avoiding sacks and getting the ball into the playmakers hands. Don't forget that deep post he hit last week and made look easy. Jimmy might but pretty, but he isn't PURDY! GO NINERS!

[@rubenmycox]

Bill walsh would've loved his footwork 😍😇🥰

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

Bill Walsh rolled over in his grave thinking about Purdy's footwork

[@PKPALLY]

Good analysis. The Brock Purdy story is amazing and I'm hoping he succeeds. Shanahan's system is QB friendly, so he's in best possible position to bring the Niners the Lombardi. One thing about the footwork not being the best in his last 2 games, do you think the injury he had could have been a factor?

[@walterwolansky9680]

Hey Purdy is smooth and confident and mobile and he's an All-Star just watch where he goes Brock Purdy all the way

[@riveraJG]

Been waiting for this video

[@jmcghane]

With the resources at Purdy's disposal it's possible for them to win it all so as long as he doesn't turnover the ball and remain consistent, the 49ers should be fine.

[@55TheInTIMidator55]

Purdy’s a great story and this whole season is just a reminder Shanahan is the league’s best coach.

[@burnelllawrencelll1178]

This ain’t Jimmy. See you in Brock’s hometown of arizona in February

[@stephenblessed92]

You ignore the fact he was injured the last two weeks. It matters.

[@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.

[@coreyjasper8329]

A Pablo Sanchez reference means I have to leave a comment and a like

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

🫡 These are the rules

[@omarmarentes2189]

this is good !

[@theactualshadow]

Garoppolo and Purdy have very similar skill sets, except Purdy is more mobile, more poised, more accurate, more confident, more cerebral, more comfortable turning his back to the defense, more willing to throw downfield and more mature.

[@daneberhardt8658]

Shhhh 🤫don’t tell that to all that Jimmy riders out there. I appreciate JG and all he did but he was also very limited.

[@levisnyder6585]

More mature? That part shows some bias. Jimmy is a true professional

[@eduardofunez5574]

Happy new year's

[@AlexRollinsNFL]

You too Ed!!!

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

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

[@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!
