Playing a good defense without McCaffrey and Samuel is tough. Lol. Poor guy. He still had more weapons, a better offense and coaching and had half the game vs the Browns that Kenny had.
Huh, you mean QB's aren't supposed to make guys who are covered catch the ball anyway?
He’s been as inconsistent as possible I’ll say. One play he makes an elite throw, then the next play makes him look inept. OL & OC haven’t helped.
Its hard to compare 2004 NFL to 2023 NFL, but Big Ben had a dream-like scenario with his ‘04 rookie year. Kenny is surrounded by mediocrity.
To listen to some talking heads, you would think he was the second coming of Joe Montana. He’s done well, but like most QB’s he’s only as good as the players and coaches around him.
That's how I looked at it. The Browns have a terrific defense and given the injuries, Purdy had a lot going against him. Despite playing poorly, he helped put the 49ers in position to win. I don't think he would be successful everywhere, but he's a perfect QB for that system. Not every QB would produce the way he does. Pickett would be much better if he played for the 49ers, I just don't think it would be to Purdy's level.
Purdy’s performance was awful. And What would Purdy’s stats have been if he didn’t have Samuel and McCaffrey for the entire game instead of just half of it? All he showed on Sunday is he can look pretty pedestrian too when he only has the type of talent that other QBs have. Kenny doesn’t have the luxury of all of those all-pros to play with.
They started shutting the Run game down. Brock Purdy is nothing special because if you play the 49ers from the inside out and make him hit throws outside the numbers beyond 10 yards he turns into what he was drafted. The seventh round pick. Turns out when the corners actually play up on people and put hands on the receivers that are within a half a yard of them. It’s harder to hit those throws because there are no wide open middle of the field rows anymore. Who knew?
