Dude is 7-0, how much more *****in' real do you want?  It's hilarious how many keep predicting that this kid will melt down any minute.  He's the goods.


let’s give fitz the huge contract and ignore context!
 

I don’t think he will melt down any minute. I do not think he will have CMC, deebo, kittle, aiyuk, Trent Williams and a monster defense around him long term though. And that becomes an issue. It also may be a challenge as the windows get smaller down the stretch and he’s not the upper echelon talent - but with so much talent around him, the windows may stay wide enough for now. 
 

I do not think you could drop him in the Buffalo offense and see success. A testament to the guy we have.

I watched a fair bit of 3 games with Purdy and was pleasantly surprised too see him have very good poise, making quick decisions and being largely accurate. I don't see why several here are disliking him. He has done very well this season and has the best results of any rookie QB this season. We should be happy to see a good talent enter the league. 

Except against the Bills. If he were to beat the Bills in the Superbowl, I will change my opinion of that little sh** in a hurry. 😁


I think it’s the wishy washy terms like good talent causing a bit of strife in the conversation.
 

What level career are you projecting with that? 

 

im going with fine enough caretaker but not long term starter. I can call that a good talent. I think many are aiming much higher with that type of terminology though.

I think he is actually 6-0 :)

 

I already said after his second start he was better than Jimmy G and the Niners are better with him.  And the biggest reason for that is his mobility.  Jimmy G has the worst pocket presence in the NFL, guy is a statue and can’t sense pressure either.  

 

That being said, for all his heroics yesterday, he still had a few atrocious passes that were dropped INTs that could have shifted that game back to being close or expand the Seahawks lead earlier in the game.  
 

What I think happens is he enters camp and battles Trey for the job.  If Niners make a deep playoff run, it will be his job to lose, if he has a bad game and they get bounced, then it may be a little more even entering camp.  
 

Purdy is doing a great job, and he is for real, at least to this Niners team right now.  But he reminds me more of Ryan Fitzpatrick than top tier starter so far.  A guy who can extend plays with his legs, make some big plays and also tempt fate with some bad decisions.  He also just doesn’t have have all the physical gifts that Trey has.  
 

Trey first game was not really a fair one to use as a barometer, it was horrific weather conditions and first game of the year too where most starters barely played coming into that game.  


Doesn’t mean Trey will even beat out Purdy, but I believe after all they invested in him and with his superior athletic gifts, they will at least let him battle it out against Purdy to see who wins the job.

People always feel threatened and want to discredit whenever a potentially good QB comes out of the blue. Hats off to Purdy, I have zero ill will towards a 3rd stringer getting his shot and making the absolute most of it. It’s the American dream. 

Perfectly said.  👍🏻

You know what Purdy did yesterday? No fumbles, no interceptions and only 1 sack.  


it’s true. And he’s been gifted a turnover creating machine on the other side. 
 

at some point your qb generally needs to go win games, and not just avoid losing them. Is he that guy? I don’t think so. Could he go deep this year as a caretaker? For sure.

To be fair…He had several dropped INTs though and few others that could have been possible INTs had a defender been in the area on bad passes.

So… based on what most of you are saying, if Josh had Shanahan, CMC, Debo and Kittle, the Bills would go 17-0 in regular SB winner every year. 
 

May somebody here tell me how many BIG, and how many season ending injuries the niners had ? 
 

I’m really tired about all this 49ers and Purdy hype all over the football world… 49ers arguably best team in the game, best offense, best defense, best coach, best everything… i’m close to the point to be by KC side if the SB was between those two, with Purdy having a good 75% qbr so all this 49ers excitement would be over.

he may be a perfect case study in could fitz take a loaded team to the Super Bowl.

 

many of fitzs terrible plays came late in the game when there was no more waiting for another down for someone else to make magic and he had to just make the play himself. Suddenly he had to throw 50-50 balls that for a premiere qb are 75-25.

People thinks that every QB in Shanahan sistem will flourish, and to some level is true, but what Purdy is making, at the moment, goes beyond that, Garoppolo, Nick Mullens and CJ Beathard make the offense work until they screw the things and you know they will screw them at some point, Purdy is making some stuffs beyond play calling (yesterday's 3yard McCafrey TD, it seems simple but wasn't, among others), but at some point he will make a terrific mistake and then  we will see how react and then we can  make a statement about him as a NFL QB.

Lance isn't even showed as a medium level starter QB in this league.

Too early to project his future position in the league and I am limiting my opinion to his current performance. So my thoughts are closer to "good talent and late round find" than "omg 49ers stumbled into the next Brady"

Put him on the Rams and I bet he wins more than 3 games.  

 

I don't think anyone was suggesting he is akin to Josh Allen.  On the Jets they are in the playoffs.

He made several mistakes yesterday and they should have been interceptions but Seahawks dropped the balls.  As good as Purdy has been, he’s also been lucky quite a few times on some errant passes not being picked off.  
 

That being said, he’s also made a lot of plays where he extended the play and made something out of nothing.  
 

It’s why he reminds me of Fitzpatrick so far.

Purdy has taken that Offense of Shanahan's to a level none of those others ever have. CMC surely helps, but none of those guys looked like this kid has from minute 1.

Which "starter"?  Jimmy G won't be around next year.  Lance is another backup QB (lasted 2 games).

 

 

Give him another 70 starts and he WILL BE EXPOSED!!

 

He looked a lot better than Herbert.  That guy hits more helmets than receivers.  He must have gotten high at halftime.  What a dud.  

 

Lance was the starter before he went down. That means he won the job over JimmyG.

 

Pretty obvious

havent read the whole thread.  that being said,  is Purdy good or just fools gold?  hard to tell.  hes got a great cast around him.  2nd best OLine in the league protecting him.   is there enough game film out there on his tendancies yet though?  thats what happens to QBs at most levels,  especially in the pros.   coaches,  when they have the time,  sit down, and figure guys out.   what they like here,  what they always look for there.  that stuff.    im not sure thats happened yet.  its a wait and see for me.
