  That was Brock Purdy's first career start against Atlanta, believe it or not, as Mac Jones started for an injured Purdy last year against the Falcons. The Falcons are now one of just five teams Purdy has a negative TD:INT ratio against.

  • Oct 26 David Lombardi (X) But Purdy has "elevated his wounded team" ... to a 6-1 record. His team simply lost one game. Why aren't you holding Mahomes (who did less with more at Seattle) or Josh Allen (whose loss came at home with an INT against the Patriots) to the same unreasonable standard as Purdy? · Quoting SF Bay Sports Royalty: Today's performance from Brock Purdy is why he's still not the best QB in the NFL in my book which is currently Josh Allen or Pat Mahomes. You have to single handedly elevate your wounded team that is playing like crap to win gritty games like that. Brock threw a pick (unreal play by LB and not really even Brock's fault) on that final drive and he could have checked it down to CMC to live to fight for another day after noticing for a split second that the LB dropped (that would obviously be an all time great QB type of play but that's now the expectation).

  • Oct 25 David Lombardi (X) This also underscores how obtuse the “(injured) 49ers didn’t score a TD vs Seattle” takes were last year. Yeah, neither did Mahomes — and he had his dudes.

The defense was crap today (Jack Jones is unplayable) but they came up with two critical stops in back to back drives to end the game that Brock should have taken advantage of and he didn't. Let's not get it twisted btw - Brock is playing at tier 1 top 5 QB in the NFL levels which is the best he's played so far in his very young career and I expect a great bounce back game after the bye. #FTTB #49ers

He created part of the problem with the Bates INT, but remarkable to keep the 49ers in this game down all those WRs once this turned into pass-first desperation fest

  • Sep 22 Omar Kelly (X) Brock Purdy says NFL quarterbacks can’t actually see where they’re throwing nearly 40% of the time, and explains why processing information is more important than having a strong arm "My quarterback coach, Brian Griese, the last couple years, he and I talked about that. He played 11 years, his dad’s Bob Griese. But we got talking about how really it’s 60/40. You can see about 60% of the time, and the other 40% you really can’t. I mean, it doesn’t matter how big you are."

  • 5d David Lombardi (X) Chicago might be better positioned to be a long-term threat/archrival of the 49ers — who have Brock Purdy just entering his prime — in the NFC than any other team in the conference.

  In most instances, I think TD:INT ratio is not a great way to evaluate QB play since we have more all-encompassing stats like ANY/A and EPA. But knowing Purdy's tape and 49ers' game situations, it actually hammers home a key point this time: He's kept the ball out of harm's way when it has been VERY hard to do so and while SF faced no margin for error: -vs Denver's hawking defense, down multiple WR -at Seattle's historic defense, down multiple WR -down all 6 top WR with a sputtering offense against a hard-charging Washington team Purdy only put the ball in danger once over that stretch (and this INT at Seattle might not've even been his fault) and the ratio below highlights what was one of the biggest keys in each of those 49ers' victories.

San Fran: 32.7 PPG (2nd best) 16.7 PPG allowed (3rd best) 16 PPG differential (Best) They are also only one of four teams since 1990 to not allow a sack in the first three weeks of the season. Brock Purdy is an early MVP candidate with a whopping 133.1 passer rating. Broncos took down the Super Bowl favorites last week. Another great opportunity to prove themselves to the country this week.
