[@kiltedKarnivore]

Most of these pundits fail to mention that Brock played behind a sub par O-line and still threw for over 4k yards.

[@itzanopinion]

calm down...he was only 300+/- yards better than JimmyG in his last full season healthy...and Jimmy's OL wasn't nearly as good as Purdy's OL!!!

[@Bashfrom25]

@@itzanopinionJimmy was a check down merchant and isn’t anywhere close to the playmaker Brock is😂

[@aelianthe]

​@@itzanopinion Just pointing that statistically, last year's OL was very much below-par as far as pass pro is concerned. Run blocking, sure, but passing, that was a rough spot esp. at guard. And it was one of their worse performance in the past couple years, so if anything Jimmy had *better* pass pro.

[@whatever7182]

​@@itzanopiniontrolls gonna troll. If you think Jimmy can be even mentioned in the same breath as Purdy, you need to stop pretending to watch football.

[@Rolando510Mota]

Jimmy g will be out of the league next season. It’s crazy Jimmy g never got the system qb bash. Was it because he played along side Tom Brady that they thought he was good? Or was it because Brock was the last pick of the draft? Brock ain’t no system qb, Jimmy g is a system qb.

[@karenhardie1132]

Look at all those qbs drafted ahead of Brock that are already gone. You can't just throw anybody in there and be successful.

[@DanHamilton49ers]

Cj.BN.M.,B.H.,J.G.,T.L. none of those QBs came close to what Brock is doing in 1 an a half seasons.

​@@roemellobellyou mean the defense that completely failed to show up several times, and never played to their potential as shown in recent years? So if you know so much about football, what does a good defense normally support - RB or QB? CMC is amazing, but let's not pretend like the game the D did play well helped the passing game more than the running game... For the first time in history. So which is it?

[@davidchorney8740]

NFL pundits mix up physical gifts with talent. Trey Lance is physically gifted while Brock Purdy is talented. Physical gifts are potential, talent translates to wins. Physical gifts are more seductive than talent and get a QB drafted earlier than talent.

[@samuelault4723]

Yup, it’s doesn’t matter if your coach tells you exactly where to look if you can’t see what you’re supposed to. And even if you can see it that doesn’t mean you’ll find it in time. And if you find it in time you still have to accurately deliver the ball.

[@Killacam1992]

Physical gifts and talent are the same thing.. hard work, dedication, discipline, mental toughness and intelligence translate to wins.. “hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard”..

[@lanceellis3863]

A Trey Lance reference for why?

[@BeingButterfly]

People confuse innate physical athleticism with skill. Innate athletic "ability" isn't a talent of skill. It's an "ability" to do a thing. Meaning due to being born with specific physical attributes they're "able" to accomplish certain athletic feats. People who are born with two healthy legs have the "ability" to walk. You see some so-called "dual threat" quarterbacks that aren't actually DUAL threat quarterbacks. Their innate elite level athleticism compensates for their lack of quarterbacks skills. An actual dual threat quarterback CAN pass most if not all of the required passes, consistently and correctly read defenses, lead the offense, manage the game clock, manage stress, make consistent successful decisions especially when under duress, they have accurate field vision and understand what they're seeing and how to adjust, they can move well in and out of the pocket, they can effectively and consistently scramble and/or run when needed. They take risks but know when to be cautious. There are VERY FEW actual dual threat quarterbacks. Mostly, the label dual threat quarterback has been given to quarterbacks that have innate athleticism that run well when under pressure. But they are NOT actually a dual threat. Innate athleticism is genetic. You're born with it. It isn't a talent or a skill. It's an innate ability. Talent is an innate predisposition towards understanding and being naturally inclined to succeed at art, science, mathematics, understanding people, etc. Skill is a developmental process where someone learns a thing and acquires a level of skill in the thing they've studied and developed. One can develop their innate athleticism and use it to become skilled in a thing while using their innate athleticism. If you have innate talent you still need to develop skill in the area of your innate talent. When once has reached the pinnacle of their developed talent and/or skill they are considered an expert. Brock Purdy is athletic but he wasn't born to grow to be a man that's 6' 5' with elite level innate athleticism. For this reason he must find ways to compensate if he wants to compete against men that were born with elite level athleticism. Any innate talent Brock Purdy might have must be developed into skill. This is "why" Brock Purdy is exceptional when it comes to passing with anticipation, timing, touch and rhythm. These are skills he needed to develop in order to compete at the NFL level. His exceptional processing is also a skill he developed in college when he was a full time student and a full time quarterback. He had to study his homework and playbook all in a short amount of time. This prepared him for the NFL and learning the Kyle Shanahan system. While some quarterbacks have more innate physical abilities than Brock Purdy it doesn't matter as long as he learns to maximize what athletic abilities he has and is capable of doing it consistently and can be successful at doing (scrambling, agility, running, passing, faking out defenses, etc.) But casuals don't tend to THINK about any of this. They point at big athletic quarterback and grunt, "Big athletic quarterback is superior!!!" It's all such as waste of time arguing with casuals. They're stuck in their "I don't think for myself" bubble.

[@DD-es6qd]

But there is also understanding the game and the intelligence behind concepts, theories etc

[@mikekenney1947]

Yeah, but Garoppolo couldn’t find BA in a phone booth. Snead knows what it takes to capitalize on Shanahan’s schemes. Im thinking Brees is the model for Purdy and then add massive quads

[@rh7074]

And scrabbling

[@rickallen1908]

If anyone would be successful in Shanahan's offence, why isn't Beathard the starter? Or Mullins?

[@marcellusfulbright5918]

You shut your mouth speaking facts......lol

[@ninerempire3398]

Bethard stunk and mullens had success in the offense but stunk at the end of the day. A lot of qb’s can succeed in this system with these weapon. They made it to the super bowl and 2 nfc championships with below average/trash jimmy g with less weapons lmao

[@HockeyDudeJames2]

they won in spite of Jimmy. He threw the ball 8 times in the NFCC​@@ninerempire3398

[@marcellusfulbright5918]

@@ninerempire3398 Jimmy wasn't trash he just wasn't good. A good playcaller can if the pieces are in place make average QB's look above average. Brock has been elite in the system which tells me he'd be fine no matter what. I'd go a tad further and say Brock is making the system look better. In the games he's been "bad" outside of the Bal game it's been the defense that put them in bad situations.....Cincy, Cle and Minny. Those games were them just trying to claw back into a chance to win.

[@roemellobell]

Well they don't have this team smh

[@BeingButterfly]

Patrick Mahomes benefits greatly from Andy Reid's offensive system. Any casual that thinks otherwise doesn't know what they're watching. BOTH Purdy and Mahomes CAN play outside of the offensive system they operate. Purdy consistently plays outside of Shanahan's system. Mahomes consistently plays outside of Reid's system. Each offensive system is so good it makes the plays appear easy. It makes the quarterbacks look great. The difference is most casuals attribute Purdy's success to Shanahan's system and they attribute Mahomes success to HIM. Without an offensive line in the Super Bowl against Tom Brady the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes were SHUT OUT from scoring a single touchdown. Mahomes did not score a single touchdown. The Chiefs only scored 3 field goals for 9 points. The great Mahomes couldn't overcome being on a less than desirable team. Mahomes had Jason Kelce and Tyreek Hill. Mahomes had great weapons. But without an effective offensive line it wasn't enough to score a single touchdown in the Super Bowl. Fast Forward to the 2023-2024 season Super Bowl. The Chiefs vs the 49ers. In all of regulation Patrick Mahomes didn't score a single touchdown on his own that didn't involve a 49ers' turnover. But nobody dare talk about that without being scolded. It took a Chiefs' punt hitting the foot of Darrel Luter Jr. and Ray-Ray McCloud failing to recover it for Patrick Mahomes to score his ONLY touchdown in all of Super Bowl regulation. The ONLY touchdown Mahomes scored on his own was in overtime against an exhausted 49ers defense. And yet, Mahomes is hailed as some great quarterback. But was he really? In regulation Mahomes threw 8 out of 34 passes under 5 yards. He threw 9 passes behind the line of scrimmage. He only threw 2 completed passes over 15 yards. The final overtime touchdown pass was a short 5 or so yard pass to an unblocked wide receiver in the end zone. Mahomes threw 1 interception and fumbled 5 times (only 1 was unrecovered) in the Super Bowl. If Brock Purdy would have put up these stats even if he won the Super Bowl they'd scream he's a game manager. Purdy would never hear the end of it. But Mahomes is hailed as the greatest quarterback. If this isn't biased groupthink hive mind bullshit I don't know what is. Patrick Mahomes was NOT great in the Super Bowl. The Chiefs defense carried him. Somehow it's "okay" for the Chiefs defense to carry Mahomes but it's not "okay" for the 49ers defense to carry Purdy. The bottom line is this the Chiefs were fortunate the 49ers made as many mistakes as they did and that they suffered as many "in-game" player injuries as they did. Without these things happening I have no doubt the Chiefs would have lost the Super Bowl. I'm not being salty, I'm stating the cold hard facts. The level of Patrick Mahomes worship and how inaccurate "greatest quarterback" narratives are created around him has reached WEIRD levels.

[@JimEverettTheGreat]

You’re a casual

[@vladdracul8827]

I still have nightmares re: those lousy turnovers 😭😭😭

[@TheInfii]

Sit the fuck down. 😂😂😂😂 Mahomes is the by far the BEST qb in the NFL right now.... So salty after choking twice.

[@marcellusfulbright5918]

The whole system thing is way overblown. A good playcaller is a playcaller but no matter what the QB has to be able to execute. Never seen a QB be elite without good talent and a good playcaller. What makes Brock better than most think is he did it behind one of the worst pass blocking Olines. It seems an excuse for others but when it comes to Brock it's not even talked about like "this guy is successful despite his Oline." Weird times

[@gibster9624]

The QB position is simultaneously the least plug and play position, and somehow, most of the QBs in the league are system QBs. The duality of sports commentating

[@finnessejets4231]

I agree, because if thats the case CJ, trey, nick mullens would still be on the roster. Take more than just a “system QB” to get the job done. There is a reason why QB’s are paid the most.

[@casyatbat]

John Madden said the most important position on an NFL team is the quarterback. The 2nd most important position is the backup quarterback. Now think of the game Purdy got hurt in the Eagles game and what happened to his backup Josh Johnson who lasted a couple of plays.

[@Thanatos-fo4md]

@GoldTau-t1b Pretty much all QB are system QB.. It's all about finding the right guy to run it..

[@bvlee1974]

Very complimentary.

[@ninerfanmitch5157]

What makes Brock great is his ability to process progressions extremely quickly while not allowing the pass rush to affect his decision making. He has a gift of sensing when pass rushers are on top of him and typically bails at the perfect time to keep the play alive.

[@metaldefender49]

Well put. I was on the fence longer than anyone, but I realize he definitely has a gift. He has the gift of recognition and hard work and determination much like Drew Brees was not the most talented thrower in the world, but he works so goddamn hard he became one of the greatest passers in NFL history, I'm really hoping Brock going to take that trajectory as a 49er.

[@Suggs2bu]

@@metaldefender49He’s also a very underrated playmaker

[@stridersmythe8860]

Ive always thought Purdy was like Drew Brees, same size , both good scramblers , both make plays with athleticism outside the pocket. Purdys scrambling has allowed them to succeed with poor blocking.

[@RussellShocklee-mt4cm]

Brock can layer a throw very nice, though.

[@HitekElement]

What I’ve noticed about Brock is he keeps that line of scrimmage moving. There’s rarely a play where he’s not making the right decision to push the ball down field. It could be 5 yards or 25 yards that line is moving… he matriculates the ball down field. And also he has a deep ball the dude is really good

[@MVPURDYSZN]

So kyle ended up getting his half brees half jackson it was just a year later and with the last pick 😂

[@patrickdipasquale3525]

Look at how many QBs have been in Kyle's system and how many have been as successful as purdy ok yea we have alot of weapons but at the same time you still gotta go out there and make plays .. and what about when the play blows up and purdy makes it happen with his feet he's got great instincts aswell

[@whatever7182]

You've clearly defended this point so much that you've lost some perspective. "safe" and "nurturing" aren't words I would use to describe a rookie being the last pick, 3rd string, starting mid season on a team with SB expectations, then executing about as well as anyone could. You care more about that Packers game than the other 20 starts. IS THE HILL YOU DIE ON? Plus for every centrist snead video you have, there's 100s of positive ones, so nice cherry picking

[@aikojaycalderon1674]

[@scottjorgenson45]

Fact is that if Brock never got the chance to show what he could do. HE would have washed out by this year.

[@scottjorgenson45]

Not because he isn't good but because the decision makers can be stupid

[@jeffadams9699]

Oh he’s in a great system, he is a game manager, blah, blah, no kidding! What teams or QB’s that are winners aren’t running a great system? But Purdy has mastered this SF system. He’s smart! Put another QB in this system, and I’d bet they wouldn’t run it as efficiently as Brock does. Being in the perfect system doesn’t guarantee anything, you still have to execute it. And he does this consistently and to perfection.

[@metaldefender49]

True that.

[@macdaddymatt49ers]

[@MLuna415]

Your letting a wide receiver describe what it’s like being a qb but yet he only focuses on only their potion not making sure everyone is dialed into the play plus have 3.5 seconds to get the ball out that’s why a lot of first round qbs fail and you have players like dak, Russ Wilson, Brock, Matt Hasselbeck, Tom Brady, it takes skill and IQ of the game idk what Snead meant by that !

[@marcellusfulbright5918]

Not every offense has a good play caller but never seen a good QB succeed with a bad one. Take any good QB statistically I'd bet there's good talent and at worse a competent OC. It's for that reason these rankings and "system" attachments to Brock's success is stupid. Nobody talks about how bad the pass blocking is and how he still performed at elite level. But it's about narrative more than truth so I guess....
