With what Brock Purdy has done

That team has the best collection of players in the league on both sides of the ball. Purdy is a decent player, certainly great pocket presence and maneuverability but he is not, NOT a good passer of the football in my opinion.

SF has a ridiculously good team. They are giving that KC offense fits.

Is never a plan. You could draft a qb every year and never find even a backup quality player. Purdy is a nice story, and may be a good qb for a long time, but you can’t bank on finding that type of player late in the draft as strategy to find your qb.

One could argue that the defensive holding penalty helped get them down the field ( negating a 4th and long) and then the offensive holding penalty really took the steam out of their last drive. Instead of 1st and 10 at the 14, it’s 2nd and 12 from the 28 …Those plays are killers. I think Purdyplayed well beyond good; but Sir Patrick was Sir Patrick.

My point is that because a qb is taken in the top 3, he may not be a top nfl qb. In fact, he may not be any good at all. And, as you know, it can be very expensive to trade up for one.

Purdy couldn't punch in. Chris Jones had a lot to do with that.

This is a strawman argument. I donly know of anyone who is saying that drafting a QB in the top 3 is a guarantee but they certainly is a MUCH better chance.
Purdy underwhelms me. Going into halftime at 10-3  
Dinger : 2/12/2024 9:49 am : link
in a game where it seemed like SF dominated 1st half play, I knew if it was that close the rest of the game the Chefs would win....Mahomes or Purdy? Mahomes 101 times out of 100.
Its a shame for Shanahan to have not had an above average QB. That offense would be unstoppable with the right QB. If SF had somehow won that game Jennings was the MVP. Definitely not Purdy and McCaffery had the fumble. That offense, with Deebo, Aiyuk, Kittle and McCaffery not to mention a line that gives him all day and he couldn't get it done. And I had no confidence he would. The Chefs finally realized in the 4Q that if they were going to win it was Mahomes, Mahomes, a bit of Taylors BF and Mahomes. Purdy isn't know for his feet and in this game he seemed like a Tommy Cutlets to me minus the Italian flair.

Of course not, nothing is guaranteed in the NFL draft (or any sport, but obviously in this case the NFL). But the results are clear, the majority of franchise QB's come from the 1st round and the early portion of the 1st round.

doesn't mean the QB will be good or pan out, but the results are indisputable.

The plan is to add as many great players to your roster as possible to ensure that just about any QB can function and flourish.

This is gonna warp some brains here but here goes---do you know WHY the Niners were so quick to move on from Trey Lance? Because he was BAD despite playing in a system that boasted ALL PRO and PRO BOWL talent across the board. They watched the film and saw a QB that left meat on the bone time and time again. Jimmy G didn't really commit too many mistakes or miss too many plays so they kept him UNTIL he started to show cracks/injury issues and his play deteriorated. They knew because the Niners system afforded them the clear cut vision to see when a QB isn't helping the cause.

When you have a good roster, everything is easier for everyone. IT's also easier to identity bad play at QB.

Purdy will get more shots as long as he leads this team deep in January but at some point the Niners will look to upgrade. His career will now be defined by these title game moments. HE's 1-2 over the last 2 seasons. HE's a good player. NEeds to play better in these games.

NYG must identify a QB(s) they believe is a franchise changer

Do you have anything to back that assertion up?

Because one could argue that the reason why the Niners have such a strong roster overall is because they apply the same thinking to every position: challenge the status quo and fail fast. They don't get married to failure, they continue to have alternative options in the pipeline and they iterate until they hit.

They had Garoppolo and they still traded up (at a hefty price) for Lance. They had just drafted Lance the year before and they still added another QB in Purdy. They had Elijah Mitchell and they still traded for McCaffrey. They had Deebo Samuel and still drafted Brandon Aiyuk. They had a strong defense and still added Chase Young.

The examples are numerous. And the takeaway is that they don't get satisfied at any position.
A QB other than the top three...  
UberAlias : 2/12/2024 10:50 am : link
Only comes into play because the three of them likely won't be options, or may not be options outside of an excessive haul.

So we find ourselves in a position where the consensus guys may not be in play circumstantially. So the question is, where do we go from here? What I want to see from JS and BD is a well thought out plan. There are no guarantees that there even is a legit franchise QB outside of the top 3. There are only so many of them (small number) in each draft. What I don't want is a knee jerk reaction. That would be a classic DG move.

Get us a plan, an execute on it. Don't force a bad decision on us just for the sake of change, keep improving the roster with a clear mind of the fact that Jones is not the answer.

yes they traded for Lance when they had Jimmy G  
djm : 2/12/2024 11:11 am : link
i acknowledged that in my first take that Jimmy was OK for a time until the cracks started building more and more.

Purdy might not be far off from Jimmy G's run in SF if he isn't careful. IF the QB doesn't win a title for a team that is stacked with star power, eventually the Niners will look to upgrade at QB. AS good as Purdy has been, he's not a super bowl winning QB. Not yet.

I think we are on the same page word for word. My point about the QB is that the roster in SF is so good it's a lot easier to identify when the QB is holding things back. Lance was a mess.

Protect the QB enough and give him enough weapons and there's less room for excuses. Lance sat for a year or so then got hurt then when he did play he looked lost. They saw enough.
people can moce my take all they want  
djm : 2/12/2024 11:15 am : link
it's shared by man. Bad rosters can in fact hold QBs back. OF course there are degrees and of course the QB is the ultimate equalizer, and yes you can still see bad from good no matter how the roster is shaped.

We need to get better across the board.

Not sure if this was your intention, but that reads like you were saying that the ONLY reason why the 49ers were able to evaluate their QBs was because of the rest of their roster, and it was that interpretation that I was challenging.

They evaluate every single roster spot and apply competition to each one of them, even if the incumbent hasn't technically failed yet. There are no scholarship players there.

The Giants, on the other hand, will avoid certain positions if they just recently addressed them (like not drafting a single QB in any round, since they drafted DJ, or not signing Whitworth years ago because they had just drafted Flowers).

I believe they overcame the hold in OT when Purdy hit Juszczy for a first down on the scramble.

What derailed their OT drive was the run on second and 4 with McCaffrey to the right. They had something going to the left side, but Shanahan ran the stretch play to the right. and the Chiefs stymied it. They should have kept pounding that left side behind TW and away from Jones. I think Shanahan's has an Achilles heel as a play caller later in games. He's great scripting plays early but loses his feel later in games.

And then on 3rd down, Purdy couldn't make the play.

But back specifically to Purdy, he missed TD passes to Aiyuk and Samuel. You can't miss those opportunities.

If I'm the San Fran brass, I am probably keeping Purdy on a keep-proving-it multi-year deal. But I'm also looking for an opportunity to add another QB.

Although Purdy should be suggesting that a 4-year deal for $160M, $92M in guarantees and a separate guaranteed injury clause is an interesting start to the discussions!

I get it, people are emotional. But seriously this is an odd statement. Daboll was a key person in developing one of the elite QBs to get to where he is today and Kafka literally had his hands on Mahomes' development.
Did anyone think that Reid went into a kind of zone

with his play calling late in the game? It seemed that he was attacking weaknesses in the 49ers defense surgically, like he knew what the 49ers defense was going to do as he was calling his own play.

Because Mahomes was great but boy did he have some easy throws and runs to execute in the 4th qt/OT.

Was it just me?
