Why Kyle Shanahan Trusts Brock Purdy


Why Kyle Shanahan Trusts Brock Purdy

  1. Brock executes the Kyle offense at best, and can create his own plays when it not works

    Kyle own words; When Brock stepped in the offense got lot better, he played at extreme high level and there is room for improvement.

    This should give goosebumps for every 49ers fan, instead we are fighting for stupid non existent QB battle

  2. It’s funny even Brock homer like Lombardi is blaming on the potential practice pick for throwing across his body missing CMC.

    We saw Brock made number of these throws in regular season, one such instance was the throw to Ray Ray against toots across his body is never gets talked enough for some reason.

    These are the stuffs, he must try in practice. What’s wrong with everyone reporting on Niners

  3. >”I mean that’s basically what we do. We do a lot of the same stuff,” said Burrow, who explained that the philosophy behind both offenses is *”getting five guys out on the route every play and making them defend every single person.”*

    That’s how I hope Kyle’s offense trends towards this season, more of a 1994 fast break offense like under his Dad Mike Shanahan, considering how Purdy is compared to Drew Brees.

  4. He still has one of the most memorable rookie seasons ever. From 262 to almost getting a SB. Name a rookie QB that did that.

  5. All I ask is that he fix that habit of running backwards to the left under pressure and then trying to instantaneously stop, spin, survey the field, and throw. That’s going to lose us a lot of yards and get him killed.

  6. If he can play 2023 the exact way he played 2022 or better, I will fully jump on board with him as our franchise QB. Right now I think he’s a solid QB who we can win WITH, not because of.

  7. Because he does exactly what kyles tells him to do.
    That’s it. For example: that huge TD throw against Seattle to Kittle last year, where he fakes to the right, fakes to the left and hits Kittle in the middle? For some reason people thought that was Purdy, nope, it was a designed play.

  8. I have never seen a kid come in from out of nowhere and play like he did. Sometimes it’s pure athletic talent that makes rookies successful. Brock seems to get the little things from the neck up. Looking off defenders and manipulating them etc. I am praying to my 1994 Steve young jersey that it was not a fluke.

  9. I think the Brock is superior to Lance in the Shanahan offense because he’s agile while not being an actual dual threat QB. On the bootlegs, play actions, and other fakes, Trey Lance is game planned around being a mobile so the Defensive End is always going to barrel down on Lance regardless of it’s a hand off or not. Thus Trey inherently will always have less time to throw off PA than Brock. Brock can turn his back on the defense and read after because the Defensive end is trying to stop CMC and ignoring Brock which is something that will never happen for Trey Lance BECAUSE he’s a mobile QB. Knowing this, Shanahan brought out the RG3 playbook for Trey (different than the one for Matt Ryan or Cousins) and Trey got injured exactly like RG3.

  10. Purdy is statistically the best playoff rookie QB of all time.System.or.not, he was excellent in the playoffs by every conceivable metric.
    Even that Dallas game where he struggled relative to his previous standard .he had a 55 QBR and a passer rating of 87.9 which is around league average.

    The thing that showed me Shanahan trusts Purdy is him allowing Brock to throw the ball 30+ times in each of his 2 playoff starts. Even that Eagles game..where Purdy gets hurt on the first drive.. he’d already called 4 pass plays so it was well on track. Allowing your rookie QB to throw that often against playoff defenses is very revealing.

    That’s why for me, any semblance of a QB1 debate is so mindboggling. Purdy is far ahead of the other guys on his roster solely on his playoff work.
