Tua, Dolphins fall to 49ers 33-17, Jimmy G out for season w/ broken foot | NFL | FIRST THINGS FIRST

Mark Schlereth joins Nick Wright, Chris Broussard and Kevin Wildes on First Things First to discuss the San Francisco 49ers current quarterback situation with Jimmy Garoppolo out for the remainder of the season with a broken foot. Broussard weighs in on the injury and explains Garoppolo will leave San Francisco as one of the winningest quarterbacks of all time. Nick explains 49ers backup quarterback Brock Purdy will be able to maintain the offense because it was designed with quarterback at low priority. The group explore the possibility of former Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield signing with the 49ers and debate whether the Miami Dolphins were exposed in their 33-17 loss to the 49ers.

I have to remind myself that these guys have to watch a plethora of other games for this show. There is no way they can see all the nuances in the QB play yesterday. I thought Purdy looked lights out especially when the blitz was on. I have yet to see that poise in any 49ers QB in 20 years. Yet alone the last pick in the draft.

[@EternalCreator]

How can you say 49ers QBs aren't asked to do much when they are being forced to throw it 37 times and they are making the throws that have to be made or the offense wouldn't be moving the ball?.. That goes for Jimmy this year and Purdy. Teams are selling out to stop the run every week and it's made the 49ers into a passing offense, which requires competent QB play

[@topnotchtajmahal7216]

It’s called a lot of swing passes underneath routes WR and RB screens account for more then half of the niners qb passes

[@skillethead15]

Despite what all these guys are saying, you need good QB play to make a Super Bowl. Also Purdy is a rookie and is not all that talented considering where he was drafted. Unfortunately, it’s a very slim chance Purdy can play well enough for the 49ers to go where they want. Rookie QBs are prone to make mistakes and too many mistakes will send you home in the playoffs.

[@xcwilliams7980]

@skillethead15 Jimmy has played literally 0 really good playoff games my guy. Playing mistake free football isn't actually Jimmy Gs thing in the playoffs.

[@thisshouldbeentertaining3386]

Shanahan would greatly prefer to have his QB's pass under 35 time's per game. Shanahan's recipe for success is to lean on the ground game control the clock while defense limit's the big plays. But this season for various reasons the ground game has been highly inconsistent. Mainly due to as you said , The defense's are stacking the box which stifles our ground game and hinders the short passing game. Luckily Miami's defense isn't good. And the short passing game was effective. But Shanahan would love to be able to occasionally go down the field with deep passes. But knew Jimmy was highly inaccurate on deep passes. One reason they drafted lance.

they always failed to mention the niner's injury woes especially in 2020/2018, most of the time when the backups plays(beathard and Mullens), they're playing with a depleted roster missing key pieces not just Jimmy.

[@ericjackson7632]

Because they were backups. I'm not sure if other coaches have nearly 40 games with clear backups- normally those coaches get fired before they reach 40 games. But that's the reason he hasn't won and its obvious. No one really wins over time trotting out number 2 QBs (we are talking almost 40 games).

They were driving with a chance to tie in the 4th quarter, but they turned it over on downs, in a play that was a few centimeters away from being a clean catch. That was pretty much the game.

Who'd they have to beat? Vikings, Cowboys and Eagles look like the other contenders. SF clears their rosters by a country mile.

[@AP-sr2lr]

They're always moving the goalpost with Miami. At first there were questions about Tua's ability to throw the deep ball. Then it was "How does he do against Super Bowl contenders in the Ravens and Bills." Then it became "All those wins against easy opponents mean nothing, look good against the 49ers on the road while missing 3 of your starting OL, or else you're fraudulent." Now they're taking early victory laps for finally being right about a negative prediction regarding Miami, and they decide to double down by saying we'll struggle down the stretch. Watch how they talk about how the Chargers can beat us prior to SNF, then watch how they'll talk about the Chargers as a trash team after we stomp them. Then the following week, if we beat the Bills, Nick will just make the topic be about the Bills losing the #1 seed to his Chiefs rather than talk about the Dolphins making him put his foot in his mouth.

Gotta love Nick hedging his bets there by saying we don't know if Brock is one of those guys yet. His point is that anyone can run this offense with all of the weapons and a great defense. But then goes against that. If anyone can do it as he claims, Purdy better get it done.
