QB Brock Purdy, SF (2 Viewers)

It helps that he has the best RB in football, two very good WRs and a very good receiving TE. But what impresses me about Purdy is that he makes the right read, he anticipates where the WR or TE will be and the ball is always accurate and on time. Notice how often he gets it to Aiyuk or Deebo in stride. Shows that you don't need a cannon arm like Josh Allen or Justin Herbert or be very athletic like Lamar Jackson. QB is the most cerebral position in football, and Purdy has the mental game down in spades.
Now we just need to see if Purdy can do it when it matters the most.

It’s easy to forget that Jimmy would never in a million years have thrown a deep pass like the one Purdy fired to Aiyuk yesterday. Purdy has totally opened up the field even though he doesn’t have Josh Allen’s arm strength.

That would have been quite the roster.

But but but he has good receivers and a good RB and a TE. haha It is comical how people just cant see these #'s and can't admit that Brock is a top 5-7 QB outright, today.
Take the best still position players away from other top QBs and what are they going to do?
Mahomes is the only guy out there that seems to be able to make average guys work, but what happens if you take Kelce away? And that line protects him and buys him time to do it.

Purdy dropped that ball in like Russ used to.

Big-Time Throw % Leaders (min 100 att.)
Purdy (SF) - 6.4%
Hurts (PHI) - 6.3%
Prescott (DAL) - 6.2%
Tagovailoa (MIA) - 6.1%
A big-time throw is best described as a pass with excellent ball location and timing, generally thrown further down the field and/or into a tighter window.
*** Purdy didn't record any big time throws in the first 2 weeks and is now #1. Bonkers.

All he does is dink and dunk! Lol

Researching a story on 49ers' increased use/success with the deep ball this year. Came across this nugget:
Against the Jags, QB Brock Purdy completed 5 passes traveling 20+ air yards. That's the most in a game by a SF QB since 2012 and tied for most by one since 2009.

Brady was a dink and dunk QB for ages.
taylormeetstheismann

At the pro level?
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Of course. It made Edelman and Welker famous. Brady used the short passing game better than anyone
taylormeetstheismann

Seems a little dramatic. His three weeks prior to tonight he scored 22, 22 and 27. And that’s in 4-point passing td leagues.
Every QB is going to have games like this from time to time when the run game is dominating. See:Lamar Jackson.
Lansdowne

I wouldn’t want Lamar Jackson on my fantasy team either. His value is too tied to his legs versus his arm. In this game, volume is king. I want QB’s who have to throw a lot. Purdy is very efficient but the running game is even more so. He had this game against the Rams too where he had a stinker fantasy wise but it didn’t matter because CMC and Deebo literally carried the offense that day.
He was averaging 20 a game and had 6/10 games with 20+ fantasy points on the season prior to tonight.
No, he’s not a top 5 fantasy QB, and I don’t think anyone was expecting that. But most people nowadays play in SF/2QB leagues and I’d take Brock as my QB2 all day and twice on Sundays.
Lansdowne
Footballguy
I guess that’s where we have our difference, because I play 1QB instead of Superflex. I agree he’d be a great QB2 in Superflex but that format also inflates the value of QBs who are much worse than Purdy. I was hoping I had a low end QB1 in my 1QB but his floor is lower than people may want to admit as we’re seeing tonight. Wish I had someone like Stroud instead.

I've actually kinda wondered if SF should be passing more often. I realize some of the efficiency comes from picking their spots, but Purdy is on a tear, and with those weapons, defenses probably prefer to see handoffs to CMC right now.
Wrigley
Footballguy
I’d argue they are efficient passing because they can run the ball
Right, I just think they should exploit the pass effectiveness a little more.
Currently they run on 52% of their plays. I'd like to see that number closer to 45%. That's just like 4-5 more pass attempts per game.
With a 9.7 YPA and completing 70% it just feels like leaving a little meat on the bone is all, while also having the benefit of slightly preserving CMC.
taylormeetstheismann
Footballguy
Whatever SF, Purdy, CMC, et cetera is doing right now…it’s working!
SF has the least past attempts in the league last I checked, and the most efficient QB. I do think it’s logical to want to increase the pass ratio. They shouldn’t change to a spread passing attack anytime soon, though. The Eagles game was an interesting example of this - Shanahan started off the first two series with Purdy in shotgun and 3-4 WR and the offense was terrible. Purdy still needs balance more than some of the other really good QBs in the league.
Dickies

I’m wondering how much of that is because Purdy gets almost 10y/a. The Niners run the ball as well as any team in the league, and I don’t see them getting away from that.

Purdy is turning into one of the best WW pick ups of the year. Never expected Mr. Irrelevant to drop thirty burgers on my opponents in fantasy, but here we are.
Just for fun: where would he go in redraft if the draft happened today? He’s the #7 QB on Sleeper at the moment, and that’s even with the bad three game stretch where Trent Williams and Deebo Samuel were out. Now that we see what he can do when he’s getting more comfortable and firing on all cylinders, I would say he goes somewhere in the pre season Herbert tier right after the elite runners at the top.

I have another question. Where would he be drafted in real life today if they could redo that draft?
karl.Racki
Footballguy
Probably late 2nd day-mid 3rd day
The guy fits their offense great, but there are teams he would be benched on.
FarFromHome
Footballguy
Ewwwww. That's a great hypothetical question. Hmmmmm. We talking a draft of all current players? If so, solid 3rd round pick
Streetduck
Footballguy
Amazing how much draft capital matters, why can’t some people just admit the dude is good at football.
karl.Racki
Footballguy
Ans if he was on the Falcons, he would suck..
Dude got put in the best situation possible... Good for him, but still doesn't make him a top 5 QB.
This is why IMO CJ Stroud is the best QB in the league.. He has pretty much made the Texans a playoff team.

Footballguy Jr.
When all said and done his name will be there with Young and Montana. He’s a puppy and has as much poise as anyone. He’s cavalier and risk taking like Farve, poised like TB, and as surgical as the top doc at Weill Cornell Hospital. Anyone mention he’s less than a year off of Tommy John surgery?
karl.Racki
Footballguy
wait, are we comparing Brock Purdy to Steve Young and Joe Montana?
fantasycurse42
Footballguy Jr.
That’s exactly what I’m doing.
fred_1_15301
Footballguy
No I was talking about all players in his draft year. Essentially if the GMs that year got a redo, where would he be taken?
fred_1_15301
Footballguy
Sure he has plenty of good playmakers but not the best offensive line. Also, there are statistics that show (I’m sure @Wingnut can pull them at the tip of his finger) that he’s not just a dink and dunk QB who is relying on playmakers to do all of his work.

I caught the second half tonight of Eagles/49ers on the NFL Network (on mute, with tunes playing). Purdy is the real deal. He made a lot of tough throws under pressure, including a bunch on 3rd and long. I suspect any doubter is someone who isn't watching the games.
fred_1_15301
Footballguy
So far the only skill I feel he lacks is a strong arm. And we know how far that got so many former QBs in this league.
