Chase Daniel QB Breakdown - Is Brock Purdy Elite? 

Every time Purdy dropped back left handed, the middle linebacker bit and shaded to the left side of the field and then the throw went to the right side of the field. It’s genius lol

People "hate" on Brock because he isn't the prototype QB. He isn't 6'4"+. He doesn't have a cannon arm. He isn't fast. He doesn't shrug off sacks like Big Ben. He wasn't high on anyone's draft board. So on and so forth. People HATE looking wrong/bad and are waiting for Brock to "turn into a pumpkin" and look like that Mr Irrelevant QB. They are wait... salivating... for him to have a bad game so they can make their "I told you so" videos - their "Defense have figured him out" videos.

i will say Chase i've watched a few others breakdown film on Brock and nobody i mean nobody has pointed out how he's dropping back like he's about to throw left handed. that's craaazy

Man look at the footwork when he does that left handed drop back. His footwork is ELITE

It's not just Purdy's footwork and accuracy. He is also athletic! Haters think just being big and having a strong arm is athletic.

This is why Chase Daniel is the greatest backup QB of all time. Film study, great QB room to be in

Good stuff Chase, you said " look at that footwork". First person that mentioned that about him. His footwork is elite. I like how he drops back a few steps on some plays as if he was a lefty, then turns around and boom! Gets set and throws the ball accurately. That is amazing.

I'm over everyone saying Purty got lucky on that throw to BA. He put it right where it needed to be. He's been making throws all season (so far) that proves he puts the ball where he intended it.

Chase knows what he is talking about. Guy went undrafted and lasted 14 years in the NFL and made 41 million.

It's understated how accurate and on time you have to be to run Shanahans offense. Everything is a timing route and it relies heavily on a QB that can process information quickly, get through his progressions quickly and with confidence and throw accurately, even the short stuff. If you're late or second guessing yourself at anytime, it all falls apart.

As a niners fan, the oline should get a lot of credit for this performance

The way you break it down for a non football expert is second to none! You make some great points that no one else sees. I am a fan and a new subscriber! keep up the great work GO NINERS!!

Chase Daniels is a beast, I loved watching him at MU

Brock looks so Cool , Calm & Collected in the pocket, its such a stark contrast to Ole' Happy Feet Jimmy

perfect breakdown. You are the only one who highlights the "lefthanded drop" that looks so weird and is so effective (watch the linebacker, bit every time). That's the best QB in the league right now, right there, Brock Purdy. Every once in a while when you digging for gold you do find a nugget, and man did we find one with Brock Purdy. Go Niners! #fttb

@11:00 was on purpose we do it in basketball “all the time.” Point guard can see the defenders footwork whether or not if he can see both man and ball. This usually happens with back door passes. “Just turning around” is better said than done when ball is placed to guide the two guard to the basket. We do this in Fast Break scenarios too. We even have drills for this.

Time for a Chase Daniel x JT O'Sullivan crossover!

the NFL cannot believe the last player taken to be this great!!! 🤣

As a 49er fan and an Italian, this is how I know if my QB is the real deal. I have never once yelled at Brock through my TV, never once second guessed him. I used to yell at Jimmy all the time.

This is top notch analysis 👏🏼 unlike Steven Ruiz’s absurdity at the Ringer, ranking BP at 25th place.. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Joe Montana said it well. Reporter - Joe how come you are so calm and cool when you played quarterback? Joe - You know when you are at school, and if you studied for the test, you take the test calmly and confidently because you know the answers. If you did not study, then you are scrambling trying to come up with the answer. I know where every player is going to be and what the defense is going to do, so the decision is made fast. Brock knows where everyone is going to be, because he takes his job seriously and is prepared. Like Joe (not calling him a Montana) Brock is prepared.

The left handed drop back was crazy.

I think purdy's left handed dropbacks are because of last year's nfc championship game. On long developing plays it allows him to see the rush on his blind side as he's dropping. Then the turn at the top of his drop allows him to see the rush from the other side. I bet that's why he's doing that on long developing plays. It's brilliant.

The Niners need another Superbowl sooo bad!

Great job Chase! I appreciate how well you hammer down the significant aspects of each play and emphasize what makes Purdy so good. Efficient breakdown of the most efficient QB in the league through 4 games.

School is in session. Great overview . Great tutorial. Purdy cycles through his reads quickly and delivers with cool-headed accuracy.

Purdys confidence and vision as well is what sets him apart from the other qbs that are struggling and still learning. The guy Can SEE the field.

Good to hear from a pro’s perspective. I knew my eyes weren’t lying.

...but, but, but, Nick Wright and Steven Ruiz say Purdy isn't any good.... Seriously though, awesome breakdown and analysis of Purdy. Instant sub to your channel. Purdy looks like the perfect match for Kyle's offensive system with his ability to quickly process what he's seeing and accurate throws.

I usually try not to just claim someone is ignorant simply because they don’t agree with me, but man this and JTs video analysis on Brocks tape perfectly show why anyone who claims he “sucks” just flat out don’t know what they’re looking at or talking about. Nobody who actually knows football or has even a base level understanding of the quarterback position would watch this tape and come even remotely close to that conclusion about him.

If he carves up that Dallas defense, he'll get the recognition he deserves.

The thing I'll say about Brock is that his execution is unreal. He executes the way he needs to when he needs to. It's the fundamentals that you don't see often from a young qb. Very impressive.

Awesome breakdown Chase! Subbed 😎

love the way you explain the plays. Your pretty good at this. I stopped watching professional football when the players started to take one knee as combat veteran that was an insult to all those who served and died for this country. But then I started watching Mr. Purdy play ball and is enjoying it once again (I only watch the 49ers play now and I from Texas believe or not: my second favorite team is whoever beat the cowboys. I'm a rodeo guy but in my opinion, I think the reason Mr. Purdy goes to his left is because he doesn't want to get hit on his blind side. Thank you for your show.

Trey Lance has all the athletic ability in the world. Yet he could not operate this same offense - the offense that Purdy has already led to a playoff victory and undefeated regular season. Trey Lance had the same personnel to work with... this is just unbelievable. I guess we will now say that Trey Lance is not a system qb?? smh

the footwork, the reads, the anticipation ... the accuracy, the decision making, extending the play ... who's better? ... he's the best.

Hey Chase, I like how you’re saying thanks to everyone in the comments!

So glad i stumbled upon ur page...ur game break down is top notch

This is an awesome breakdown, and coming from Chase, a top former NFL QB, makes it all that much more captivating. Thank you for these breakdowns, keep up the awesome work. 🙏🏼

As a 49er fan, it seems like everyone who actually knows football is pretty enamored with Purdy and recognize that he's a special talent. Then it's a segment of the more casual perspective that says he's just a system QB in a system where any QB would be good and all credit to Kyle Shanahan. If that was the case, how come Jimmy G was never this good and they traded Trey Lance after trading 3 firsts to get him? Because it's not the case, Purdy is actually a great QB. Been a fan of yours since the Mizzou days, loved the video and glad you popped up in my recommendations! Subscribed.

nice take, quick assessments, explaining the plays to non NFL audience - subscribed and liked

Hey chase love this breakdown I watched your career from a far but I seen you on mizzou campus a couple times I also remember when you got the tigers ranked #1 in the country Jeremy Maclin helped too lol. You rock from the saints to the chargers *cheers*

The left handed drop: Purdy couldn’t throw with his right hand after the injury. He’s said that he’s been practicing throwing left handed, just in case his right arm gets injured again. I think he’s realized that he can do left handed drop backs to throw off the defense. I wouldn’t be surprised if he popped off a few left handed passes this season.

Great breakdown! At 7.12k subs now, gonna be fun to see that number at the end of the season. What ever the over/under is I’m taking the over. Awesome content!

Happy Birthday Chase!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Fantastic video, you nailed it!!! Thank you 🔥🔥🔥

Chase breakdown of the file was nice. This reminds me of the first td pass Montana threw to Rice in the Superbowl against Denver. Read the progressions hit the open target. Anyone who wants to know what I am talking about, pull up that game.

Purdy went 20/21. QB's that had at least 20 or more pass attempts, Purdy ranks #2 all-time behind Drew Brees. Purdy had 95.2% and Brees had 96.7% (2018 vs Saints).

A quarterback won MVP in 8 straight seasons, since after Adrian Peterson in 2012. Of those 8 QBs, the winner was also the leader in Expected Points Added (EPA) each season except for 2015 when Cam Newton won it: Brock Purdy is tied with Tua for the lead the NFL in EPA so far this season Josh Allen #3 Justin Herbert#4 Mahomes #5 18:31

Great break down bruh!

Chase please keep doing more of these.

Purdy was excellent this game! But kittle was wide open at 5:15.

Super insightful breakdown

Well that throw to Ayuck was placed perfectly where only his guy could get it. Maybe it was lucky but it was spot on.

Man I can't wait for the next one. They thought Dallas would expose Purdy... well it certainly exposed something!

Top 5 respectfully. Nobody else is throwing a 90% completion rate.

Here are two things I have always hated to hear from analyst Game Manager: What QB do you know who isnt paid to manage the game Systematic QB: What QB doesnt play in a system Its stupid

Sooo many people have been questioning and criticizing the 49er qb position for years and when they finally find someone that fits their system and is succeeding....they dont want to believe it? And go as far as discrediting his ability?.....i do not get it

First time seeing this channel, really good stuff!

i'm a cowboys fan... i watched one 49ers video and youtube starts showing me all y'alls stuff. i'm 56 years old and been watching since staubach was in... the proof is in the pudding... brock purdy is a winner. i think y'all need to stop worrying about what everyone else is saying. he may not win the mvp... but he's got a shot to win something bigger. a lot of mvp candidates can't say that... i think y'all have your next joe montana. dan marino has more mvp's than joe montana. go cowboys!! i hope we both stay injury free. thank God for football...

@ChaseDanielShow To your point about Purdy and the left dropback. After the NFCCG and the elbow injury Kittle came up to him and asked if he could throw lefty, Brock said he couldn't. Purdy mentioned on New Heights podcast that in the off-season while rehabbing he has also worked on throwing with his left hand as well. So I can only assume after hearing and seeing that Shanahan and Greise have drawn up some plays that make it look like it's going to throw left. He has also really seemed to develop the flipping of his hips to accommodate that quick left to right transition and that has sped up his reads as well.

You cover the 49ers and i’ll watch every time. Locked on 49ers, the QB school and others. Religiously

Earned a follow!!! Great work Chase keep on chasing. Good take on the left side. Look at the defense especially the secondary's body, either they are flat footed or body is turned the same direction and then within a split second Brock turns and slings it. Definitely a design play. In the nfl a split second can be the difference between winning and losing your matchups.

There was a point in time where I thought he was left handed from seeing him do the left hand drop backs, I never really put it together though, It has got to be confusing to a defense the first couple of times. It's seems like it would be difficult to just hop turn and put enough power behind the throw be he manages it.

Looking forward to the next breakdown lfg!!! FTTB!

What was huge scuttlebutt during training camp was Purdy was throwing 1-2 pick-6s per day. He was still having the positives, but it was hard to focus on the good stuff when there were the glaring concerns. The hope was the Niners defense was just _that good._ So far that has been the case.

At 5:09 kittle is so open,it's like a train can fit in there.

Is the left handed drop a timing thing? Does it slow his process down intentionally? It clearly takes some time to rotate out of the left handed footwork.

I hate system QB talk. Look, when you got superior coaching, with superior players, with superior talent....play outside themselves as a single unit... stop system QB talk. This is whatever team in League wants to have and do. So, system QB talk is just how haters hate. Thanks again, Chase for injecting some facts and reality into conversation!

Love the breakdown and content. Especially as a 9ER fan. Just subscribed You don't stay in the league as long as u did without being good and knowing what ur talking about

Hoyer, Mullens, Beathart, Garoppolo, Lance... they all had the same system, but none of them made the offense look as threatening... What should a QB do on the field? - hand the ball to the runner - Throw passes where the defender cannot intercept or hit and that only the offensive one receives - read defensive - change the formation if necessary - know when to run or when not to run Now, which of these points does Purdy get wrong? Then... what should a QB not do on the field? - risk a move - turnover the ball - throw interceptions - make wrong calls - be afraid of blitz - make wrong decisions Now, which of these things has Purdy done? So, on subjective issues that he should make a QB - to know the system - be respected by your teammates - impose yourself on the field - do not be afraid - patience - cold head In which of these does Purdy fail? then, if it were the system, Hoyer, Mullens, Cj or Lance would have shone just like Brock Purdy... but it didn't happen like that.... quite the opposite those who say "Purdy shines because he has Deebo, Aiyuk and CMC..." then those who believe in that argument immediately disqualify Montana because he had Rice, Taylor, Brent Jones and Roger Craig and only for that It was good... or Aikman wasn't good, but he had Irving, Emmit Smith and Jay Novacek... sounds stupid...

Great analysis. Your yellow marker is really hard to see though. Would be great if it was thicker. 😊

I remember watching you here at Mizzou. You should do some stuff on Brady Cook.

Brock Purdy will always be undervalued. We all know he is a HIGH QB IQ with tremendous accuracy + quick release, too.

The throw across was perfect by Montana and Young.

How does he not talk about that play at 5:40 where Purdy doesn’t see a completely open Kittle for a TD 😂😂

He’s like a drew Brees with a mahomes-esque level of extra juice when the play breaks down. Amazing

Purdy is a natural

Purdy saw that CB that’s why he threw it that way to Aiyuk only he could get it. Aiyuk and Purdy have that chemistry pay closer attention do your homework lol But you on point with everything else. That left handed drop is crazy ain’t it

Keep doubting him. He just keeps getting better. I predict 2 SBs!

Great film Chase! Mr. Southlake Carroll

Im a niner fan and i see Brock as a great QB. I dont wanna call him elite yet because some superstitious part of me pertaining to sports dont wanna jynx him. When Kap was killing it early on, i was excited and then we saw what happened later. Same with Jimmy, when he first got on board and then we saw what happened. Im just holding my breath on Brock but it does feel different this time. Fingers crossed.

Purdy is really good given how little experience he had in the NFL before the had his first start. He also is lucky he has so many weapons to throw at or pitch the ball too. I don't know if Purdy is elite now, but he sure has the potential to be elite.

Top 5 IMO. Nice breakdown, Chase.

Great job, you found your second calling!

Nice way to simplify it Chase

Keep it up Chase! I thoroughly enjoy your film breakdown more than JT O'Sullivan.

7:00 he doesn’t have the strongest of arms but people underestimate that quick snappy release, it’s hard to read QBs that throw like this. Say if this was another qb with a stronger arm but not quite as quick of a release, the db would be on the back already… it’s be a complete pass but the play would stop right where the ball is thrown but Purdy gives the playmakers a chance to make a move.

Seems that the most important thing and rarest is that a qb can grasp the entire offensive system in full detail and can operate that system and process it so quickly and accurately and reliably that he can actually IMPROVISE in time and in tune , while operating within the offense so he doesn't lose his teamates . Purdy is like a jazz or rock soloist - keeps the time, keeps the key and creates.

Purdy just needs more volume. But when you have CMC it's really hard not to let him run all over everyone.

3:48 damn had Kittle WIDE OPEN for a TD on that play. Hopefully they go over it in the QB room and revisit it against the Cowboys.

I remember when yall beat us at Sam Houston in high school

Man I can’t wait until Sunday night. DC4L ✭

Smooth trigger "Purdy" doesn't telegraph his targets,just hit and run..Bammm.

Chase.. him dropping back to the left (left handed) is because RT is our weak spot on the OL while Trent Williams (LT) is the best in the league. Those plays require more time to develop and also serves to divert attention to the left when the play is intended to go right.

Crazy he had more than one option open on majority of those plays

Great breakdown, Chase. One question on the deep post to Aiyuk. Obviously theres a bit of luck as the safety (#34) completely bails and sprints back to the deep middle. But how much of that completion is Purdy seeing that and intentionally thowing short and leading Aiyuk behind the bailing DB vs how much of it is pure luck and just an underthrow?

That’s like an old school run n shoot drop back

i believe the left handed drop is because hes ambidextrous

His ability to process information quickly like Brady is why he's also successful besides being accurate. He still has more room for growth
