How Good Is Brock Purdy? 

If you’re the very last pick and make yourself to the superbowl then you’re good

If it was the system, then Josh Johnson would've led the 49ers past the Eagles in the NFCCG.

If you look at Tom Brady's first three Super Bowl wins, he didn't put up those gaudy passing numbers. He was just considered a "very good" QB on a loaded Patriots team. It wasn't until around 2006 when he was truly "HIM" and put up all those passing yards, TDs, and more championships, and was considered the best player on his team. Man truly did have two Hall of Fame careers in one.

Is Brock Purdy good? Come on man! He's playing in the NFL and playing in the Super Bowl, yes!! he's good!! He's better than good, He's fucking AWESOME

Good isn't appropriate. He's Spectacular

He’s a second year player who has been to the NFC Championship game both years and is heading to his first Super Bowl…..the question itself is stupid and belongs on one of those ESPN gab shows populated by has beens and never weres

The problem is people insist on having this “fan” conversation of wanting to rank him. Why can’t he just be “Brock Purdy, the best 49ers QB since Steve Young”. That is pretty much factual. To be able to know what this kid will eventually be we need a bigger sample size, right now he’s giving the 49ers elite QB play, that is also factual, be it by his supporting cast or else, it’s still elite QB play. One day we will know more, but, for now, he’s OUR QB in the Super Bowl, so, to the 49ers he’s the best QB in the world right now!! He’s one of two QBs standing, and he’s the best 49ers QB since Steve Young with a shot at winning a Super Bowl, and that is awesome.

So I will state upfront that I am a 49ers fan and I am a little bias, in saying that here is my thoughts on Purdy. It's to early in his career to label what he is ... This is his second year in the league and his first full year as a starter. When he is in his 4th year we can see more on what he actually is. I will fully point this out ... 2 years in the league , 4 playoff wins , 2 playoff winning drives and a 18-5 regular season record. Career stats 68.7 completion percentage 44 tds 15 ints. Has more playoff wins then Lamar and Dak combined... You can't sit there and say those two QBs are not on talented team themselves... You can say he isn't the most physically gifted QB but there are a lot of players in Canton that weren't the most physically gifted in their era either. Will Brock have that kind of career ... I don't know but he has a had a good start and if he does win the Superbowl he will cement himself in 49ers lore.

Mfs don’t take into account that brocky does NOT play in a QB friendly offense. Like, AT ALL. Glock Purdy: plays with garbage O-line (except Trent), playbook is stacked a mfing mile high (biggest in the nfl), play-action + crazy read assignments down field would make ANY qb get the spins in confusion, and to top it off Kyle has a bad habit of calling crazy plays where a free rusher has an opportunity to dig a MF GRAVE for the qb unless the qb plays perfectly and scrambles out of the pocket to make a play outside of the “system”. and that’s just the shortlist. Argue all you want, this dudes never been a game manager. Average in stature, elite in gameplay if you ask me.

Very good seems like a great kid as well

He was given the keys to the $250k sports car and told to parallel park it. He did it on the first try. If you put Sam Darnold in his position, it’s not so easy to expect him to deliver the same numbers over a whole season.

BrockStar, Extraordinaire. You're seeing That Guy, hate him or love him, make no mistake, Brock Purdy is Him

At this point, you have to ask people who deny that Brock Purdy isn't one of the best QB's in the league, "What criteria do you use then?" -> Since he's taken over, he's statistically one of the best QB's in the league in every metric. Logically, just having a great coach and great team doesn't automatically imply Brock is average as you can have a great coach and great team, and still be a great QB (eg Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Patrick Mahomes all had great teams and great coaches) so that argument fails to do the very thing which critics are using it for, i.e. to rule out that Brock Purdy is great. -> People like JT O'Sullivan and Chase Daniel who have done detailed and extensive play-by-play analysis of Purdy have consistently shown how good he is, so the film proves it too. This isn't to say he's perfect and never has a bad play, obviously, but the overall body of work is extraordinary. -> He's shown his ability to play from behind and has had more success in the playoffs in 2 years than many other "elite" QBs have had in many more years, so he has productivity too. *If it's not statistics, film, or productivity, then what criteria do you use?* The only thing critics have left to resort to are subjective intuitions and pointless hypotheticals that are either impossible to prove or have been disproven, or superfluous characteristics such as arm strength beyond that which is necessary to make any throw on the field, which effectively amounts to a dick-measuring contest. None of these would ever hold up in a court of law against a growing body of ACTUAL, not hypothetical, objective data that suggest the complete opposite.

This is the first qb ever who has lead the league in qb stats that this question has been asked about - why? The answer should be obvious- he is not good, he’s elite!

Brock elevates the offense around him guys had career years and yet he is a system qb

This is the equivalent of asking if a baseball player who lead the league in batting average, OPS and exit velocity is good. That’s what makes this argument insane.

Small detail, but he was actually the 4th qb going into the season after Nate sudfeld who they gave a $2m signing bonus for who they felt good about. He was good enough in the preseason they let him go and earned that 3rd spot

Guess who led the league in air yard per attempt? Purdy with 9.6 yard per attempt. Second best was Tua with 8.3. Also, guess who led the league in yard after catch? Mahomes with 59% of his total passing yard was YAC. Purdy was #18 at 48%, so much for “check down merchant “ narrative.

sounds like hating to me, its his 2nd year, i'd expect any 2nd year quarter back to struggle without their star players since you now have to play completely different

I really don't care what you think, dude. None of us 49ers Faithful should give a crap what anyone else believes. Whether it's good *_or_* bad. The point is that Brock Purdy is *_THE_* perfect QB for the 49ers. And that's all that should matter. Who gives a shit if he can do the same thing on another team? He's *_NOT_* on another team, is he? Has _any_ *_Game Manager_* or *_System Quarterback_* lead their team to *_TWO_* Conference Championships in a row? Of course not. It's never happened before Brock Purdy. Yes, he's less than two years removed from being selected Mr Irrelevant. But he's going to be playing in the Super Bowl having significant playing time for only 1 year, 2 months and 1 week on Super Bowl Sunday (since December 4, 2022). People also forget that he had *_MAJOR ELBOW SURGERY_* less that a year ago and wasn't expected to be ready to start until about a month into the 2023 season. He was *_WAY AHEAD_* of schedule by being ready at the beginning of Training Camp. And people need to *_STOP_* talking about the players he has had around him. I can name MVP winning Quarterbacks who have had the same. Here's a list (in no particular order): 1. Joe Montana had Jerry Rice, Roger Craig, John Taylor, Brent Jones and Tom Rathman. 2. Steve Young had Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens, Ricky Watters, Brent Jones and William Floyd. 3. Tom Brady had Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Kevin Faulk and Ben Watson. 4. Peyton Manning had Marvin Harrison, Edgerrin James, Reggie Wayne and Marcus Pollard. 5. Kurt Warner had Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt. 6. Aaron Rodgers had Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Donald Driver and Jermichael Finley. 7. Patrick Mahomes had Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, Kareem Hunt, Sammy Watkins and Chris Conley. 8. Brett Farve had Antonio Freeman, Edgar Bennett, Robert Brooks, Mark Chmura and William Henderson. 9. Dan Marino had Mark Clayton, Mark Duper, Tony Nathan, Dan Johnson and Woody Bennett. 10. John Elway had Terrell Davis, Ed McCaffrey (CMC's dad), Shannon Sharpe, Rod Smith and Howard Griffith. I could go on and on and list MVP QBs like Johnny Unitas, John Brodie, Ken Stabler, Fran Tarkenton, Terry Bradshaw, Ken Anderson, Joe Theismann, Boomer Esiason and Steve McNair as well. But if you haven't gotten the point by now, you never will and I just feel sorry for you.

Not trynna be hyperbolic but he looks like Montana ..Montana had Waters, Clark , Rice and Walsh

BP was #4 behind Nate Sudfield entering training camp.

Yes. Next.

When he joined training camp, he was listed as the 4th string QB behind Nate Suddfeld.

Why is it that only the QB is a product of the system? Why not the back, the WR, or the TE?

I'm turning 40 this year.. Brady was called a "system QB thru 3 Super Bowl victories"

Id say hes pretty cracked

Two nfc championship games in two years. Answer yes.

His team may be loaded with talent, but he is leading that team to the Super Bowl, which means he’s Purdy Good. It doesn’t matter if the system he plays is “QB friendly”; you play to win the game, and for the past two seasons, he did his job and did it well. He’s still young, but he has a bright future ahead of him.

Great 2 am Piano cover towards the end there btw! Great pick!

My only issue with him is how people always talk about how he was drafted last when we've seen this story before. Kurt warner literally went undrafted and look how good he was.

Spirited Away music! Excellent taste

This aged like fine wine

He great quarterback for 49ers team 💪🐘👏❤️

44TDS 15INTS 5,654 Passing yards And a Superbowl appearance. I'd say he's got off to a good start. And there's more to come. Glad He is a 49er

Brock Purdy 100% has that dawg in him and it's pretty clear from anyone who watches his play and interviews.

He's really, really good. I've seen every snap of his professional career. He led his team to the #1 seed and a Super Bowl birth in his first season as a starter.

Of course he's good he's still the ones making the throws Anyone who says he's not is a hater. It's the NFL and he's in the Superbowl. Aaron Rodgers has 1 Superbowl that's how hard it is to make it and even harder to win. It's the coaches job to use a system that best fits the QB why would they use one that doesn't

There is no middle ground with Purdy, Hes either called crap from casual fans or people who go way overboard, or 49er fans or casuals on the other end of the spectrum call him elite and the next coming of Joe Montana. Truth is he is both actually, he makes a couple plays a game that are unreal and truly elevate the team, but he also makes many plays a game where he looks woeful. And the rest of his Qb play is generally pretty good. Thus he is just good, not top 10 or wtv but just a decent to good QB, also he played like crap these last two games and I will stand on that, well maybe not "crap" against the Lions, but not well

Well.. I'm no expert by far but I see it as half of one and half of the other... They seem to compliment each other very well and I look forward to a W at the Super Bowl. Go NINERS!! OH and pay Aiyuk $$!!

It takes a village, u didnt see SF go anywhere with trey or jimmy

Kyle was aiming to sign Kirk Cousins before they went to Jimmy G. Brock Purdy now seems like a younger version of Cousins

Didn't know that escaping sacks and moving the sticks while rushing for big plays in clutch time was a game manager as in the wise words of cam newton🤣🤣🤣

The mr irrelevant style stories are always amazing

Game manager = see slant pass make slant pass. Game changer = see slant pass, run around in circles then make slant pass in the third window. Give me the game manager.

The question as to whether he is elite is a bs distinction. There is no objective definition of what an elite quarterback even is. It is entirely subjective. I would suggest some criteria - Wins Wins a lot Wins from behind Wins over an extended period Wins big games Maintains excellent stats Plays well in all conditions Plays well against other great quarterbacks Wins Super Bowls (optional - see Dan Marino)

7:36 doesnt look like a Game Manager pass to me

Great vid. But I disagree with the final sentence. If Brock plays shit in the SB it says a lot, and everyone will slam him. But I truly think win or lose in this one game he is on a path to becoming truly truly elite. Yes it will be hard to win everyone over again but it’s something I could see him do

he’s purdy good

As a fan, Brock is fun to watch and easy to cheer for.

Can you guys do a video on Catilin Clark?

they have no o line besides a left tackle

The difference between Brock Purdy and all the other quarterbacks is that he is a scrapper besides Josh Allen I’ve seen other quarterbacks like Cam Newton get hit hard and they get intimidated and can’t bounce back from that Once you play an elite defense, now I believe that is what makes Brock Purdy u know what I mean? The fact that he is not afraid to get hit And he makes plays and scrambles when he needs to his IQ level in football is above and beyond some of these quarterbacks that’s what makes Brock Purdy elite for me.

What i notice is most the hate coming at Brock is from Homie's. And with that, u know the reason. They still think Cam is a good QB {so does Cam...lol}

You can’t rank him against other players on a team. A QBs weight value is 10/10. A D-lineman’s weight value is 5/10. Linebacker 5/10. Even a receiver is no more than 6/10. So even if a linebackers skill level is 9/10, his weight value is only 5/10. A team can still win without a linebacker, a receiver, an O-lineman… but if you take out a QB there is zero chance of winning.

If being game manager means you only play simple correct play (not flashy one) one after another consistently then I think be the best game manager is not really that bad.

Elite status has a time element truthfully.

Time to talk about that San Diego Chicken.

He's an elite game manager

You can’t be elite in your 2nd year. But he’s playing at an MVP level and if he continues just as he is, will be elite. This isn’t rocket science

Bro is him

The thing i find annoying is when people say Brock is like the 10th best on his team, sure, but id argue that dak, Lamar, hurts and goff are barely above top 10 on thier respective teams, out of the final four teams in the playoffs this year, i think the only qb who is easily a top 5 guy on his roster in mahomes. I feel purdy gets a lot more hate bcs his players are skill position and get more of a mention, whereas dak, Lamar, goff and even mahomes all have at least 2 more elite o line players and an overall significantly better o line, so the level of talent on their rosters gets overlooked a bit more. Not to say purdy doesnt have a better team around him but it isnt as much of a gap as it seems to be made out to be. So while i dont think Brock is a top 4/5 qb in the league he is an elite qb and has skills that most other qbs in the league cant do. Oh yeah and hes a 2nd year guy

To answer your question....perhaps.

He is

For the second time in an hour on totally unrelated places on RU-vid, to totally different people, I’ve felt compelled to say: you’re using the phrase “begs the question” totally wrong.

Joe Montana had Jerry Rice, Roger Craig, Brent Jones and John Taylor. He had an awesome O line....Was Joe Montana carried?

The air carried the ball purdy threw lol

As a lions fans, yes, he is good.

I won't doubt that Brock Purdy is any good, Yeah, he's on a good team with a good system. But still he knows what he's doing. However, I do wonder if he's gonna be able to keep this up for years to come Or is this just gonna be another short Cinderella story type 🤔

“He’s Purdy fucking good!”…

Damn!

Joe Montana had Jerry rice, John Taylor, Roger Craig , Brent Jones, Tom rathman. Nobody holds that against Joe now .. LETS GO NINERS ⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️

Literally the starting quarterback of a super bowl football team -iS bRoCk PuRdY GoOD?!11

If the team is so great and you have to be mediocre to win how come Trey Lance couldn’t do it?

He is good but I think Jeff Garcia would be amazing on this particular Niner team

I dont understand why tou compare purdy to warner and not to brady 2:15

Hes Elite, and you sound like you dont watch Niner games. You didnt bother to show his incredible TD vs the Jags, and you didnt really break down any tape.

I could probably throw for 1-2k yards and 10 touchdowns if I had deebo, McCaffrey, kittle, and aiyuk

He’s great

When he entered training camp he was the 4th string QB. Had to beat out Nate Sudfeld who they signed to 2 million guaranteed in the offseason

Good QBs don't have 4 INTs and get benched for Sam Darnold.

No. Brock Purdy is freaking amazingly great!!!

Mahomes inherited a loaded team when he started so the loaded team thing besides the fact its the NFL is a dumb argument

Yes

Good QB on bad team: Damn, if only he had some better players around him he'd be great. Good QB on great team: Pfff he's only good because of the great players around him

I’d rather have Brock Purdy in a playoff game than Lamar Jackson. You play better coaches and defenses the playoffs and you have to have downfield vision

Truth is he is one of the two starting QB's in the Super Bowl. His team just needs Purdy to be Purdy

Please do a lions video

A video of saying a whole lot of nothing. Brock puts the ball where it needs to go, that's what a quarterback does and he does it better than 99% of the league.

If your irrelevant, than you matter. Always love yourself . Also purdy is like mahomes. Excerpt Purdy doesn't suck like mahomes. Machokes will be his name after Purdy is done with him. Sorry patty mayonnaise

6:38 error in the video

He’s being carried. Don’t get me wrong he is good, but he doesn’t go to the jets and be who he is. The games they lost last year CM was held to under 60 yards which made Brock Purdy throw more and was throwing picks left and right. It’s a great system, it took Jimmy G to a superbowl

he's purdy good

Yes.

I think he's top 10, but the only way to figure out if he's truly elite or not, is through the passage of time. We have to see how he does in the Super Bowl, and we have to see what he does beyond just a season and a half. We will probably get a pretty good answer as to where exactly he falls after the 2025 season or so.

Yes he is good. No debate.

He is Purdy good.

I'm not sure how good or bad he is there is still a lot of time in his career, with that being said I feel like the nfl wants SO BADLY to keep the Mr. Irrelevant narrative they over hype him. Look at Jimmy Garoppolo, they made it to the super bowl with him and he is ass. So it's just hard because people want to be right and say I told you so, and the opposite happens people want him to be bad and they become hell bent on bring right. Time will tell what he becomes.

Well they got rid of joe to the chiefs and he beat Steve i don't know about him

girl from tiktok btw
