He's less talented than Herbert but Purdy's film says otherwise. I'd honestly say Purdy > Herbert right now.

If the 49ers had Kirk Cousins they'd be much more dangerous than they are today.

Huh? Rex Grossman was back in 2006. Did you mean to say Dilfer instead of Goff? Goff started in 2018 against New England.

People sleep on this kid because he's a 7th round pick but he's >>>> Tua, Herby, Kirk and all the other QB's outside of the top five.

Kirk is a poor mans Herbey. He'll pad his stat's but when it's fourth down in the playoffs he dumps it off six yards short and then asks for a two year 90 million dollar deal. **** him.

Yeah, you're getting tricked a bit by the talent around him and the scheme.

Which has made guys like Bubby Brister, Brian Griese, and Jimmy Garroppolo look like competent QBs at times.

Purdy is a good, steady player. But the lack of arm strength is an issue.

If you get him off schedule at all, he's not going to make the play on his own.

I didn't love seeing him be willing to tuck and run in that Lions game.

If he continues to do that, he's going to extend a few drives. He was awfully impressive in evading the rush and knowing when to cut his losses and scramble.

As opposed to Lamar who was going to prove to us all that he's a pocket passer.

19 red zone TDs.

And as we discussed with Lamar Jackson back in 2020 when 24 of Jackson's 38 TDs were inside the red zone, Red Zone touchdown percentage isn't a repeatable skill set. Nobody's shown an ability in NFL history to maintain a superior red zone TD%.

Jackson certainly hasn't ever done it again and as a consequence has averaged 25 TDs/16 games thereafter.

Brock Purdy is, like Jackson, a 22-24 TD/yr passer unless he spikes his red zone TD% in any given year, as he did this year. But we know that's not a real skill but rather a statistical oddity.

He's...fine. He's a MASSIVE asset for the 49ers because he's an average QB making backup punter money. And like I said earlier, he can have moments of really good play because he's just completely fearless and fine+fearless will equal productive as hell for periods.

But it's also going to yield some pretty ragged football when he gets off-kilter. And he'll be easier to get off-kilter than a better player would be.

Purdy doens't worry me.

Look at how many times cmc scored, purdy is not like Allen who gets most of his tds in the red zone mainly with rushing, the 49ers will beat the chiefs
