Denver in particular runs plays that look like they truly can't think of more than 2 receivers' routes in any one play, don't know how to stretch the field, can't see in 2-D.

if sports journalism is your passion, this is the place to be. think of this as the ‘math’ side of sports. breaking down defenses, learning offensive schemes, etc. there’s a lot! but in learning the intricacies of the game, you become a much smarter and therefore better journalist. knowing what makes players and teams successful is a huge aspect of scouting and to me, the best journalists are really just great scouts who can put their perspective into writing. best of luck in your pursuit
I think Purdy's ability to fake the throw or passes is a talent in itself, not many QBs can do that and if you watch the replay, he really fool the defenders into running a certain direction. His precision passes are due to his foot planting much quicker than any QBs I seen on the 49ers roster. His readiness and always in a position to pass means his has more time to see the field, that's #1. #2, his ability to avoid sack is much better than Jimmy G or even Trey Lance. Those are the three qualities 49ers have been searching for in a QB: Precision passes, ability to avoid sack to extend play (which mean he has good pocket presence) and ability to run.
Same. Just watching 10 mins of Purdy playing when he took over in the Miami game, I could tell he looked very experienced for a rookie. I can't believe every other team passed on him.
He's 23 & I am continuously troubled by the notion that *NFL coaches* build up preconceived notions about a player's ability that stem from what they think they've seen before that age. Justin Fields has for the first time ever run so much in a game he got sore. Trevor Lawrence still has some trouble remembering to protect the football when running. The problem is nearly always the same: the vast majority of coaches have a worse than useless actually destructive Preconceived Notion of exactly what all QBs should look like, are in *denial that* they have such a thing, then look at every QB through that PN anyway. A great analogy in baseball would be Mike Schmidt. He was a terrible batting practice hitter so this even affected how they saw him *defensively.* They thought "light hitter" ergo second-baseman. Preconceived Notions. He didn't even *try* to get the 3rd-baseman job. As soon as he started hitting HRs, they assumed he was a 3rd-baseman, not a 2nd-baseman. It's a damned good thing he had a great arm too. With Purdy, we're all jumping on this bandwagon because of where he was picked in the draft? Wtf? We haven't seen him under duress at all yet. He has a better o-line than most QBs, _WAY_ better offensive ball-carriers than most teams & one of the élite TEs. Justin Fields has been doing more with less (not consistently, I'm aware) & is still doubted by many. So again, your PNs are warping how you view him. It's too early to tell much, but I'm glad we're getting to see this. Just remember that this is San-Fran: not Cleveland, not Indianapolis, not Las Vegas. Still, I can see why this is happening. There are VERY few good QB stories this season where the QB *AND the team* are doing well. We could'a had this with Bailey Zappe, but Bellicheck is Too Proud to go against _HIS_ PNs, so we (& Zappe) got shafted out of that. Michael White has been given the chance too late, as well as Dobbs in Tennessee.
@@choosecarefully408 HC does not hold players back. HC calls plays based on what the player can do. Fields can't see the field and is slow to make reads which is why he is an unproductive passer. The right way to handle Fields is to reduce the playbook. Trevor lost a year to Urban and has improved with Pederson and is beginning to live up to his number one overall pick. Trevor can process so the playbook is expanding. Mike Schmidt is a baseball player. WTF. There is no evidence whatsoever that he would not have had the same production at 2nd base.
@@encinobalboa Much too reading comprehension your strong suit not, eh? Sorry, but all you're doing is saying "nuh-unh" without qualifying it. The Bears adjusted One Thing & their entire offense started scoring 30+ instead of 20-. Yes, we can still see Fields miss passes *with the Bears* but guess what? He _didn't_ miss them in college. That's why he got drafted so high. Kirk Cousins threw 2 INTs against Indy while Justin Jefferson was on the bench. The replacement receiver didn't run the route correctly. Receivers. The Bears have possibly The Worst collection of receivers in the league. 2) I have _always_ been able to abandon the teachings of anyone I knew was wrong. Coaching isn't *mind control.* Lawrence dropped two of four fumbles against the Eagles without anyone even touching him. No one _taught_ him to forget about the damned football. Reread why the analogy of Mike Schmidt is important or don't. But you not getting it doesn't mean it's not apt.
Yes, Kyle's offense and the talented skill players are helping Brock, but Purdy is also playing at a very high level for any NFL QB, let alone a rookie. And yes, he's still learning and improving, but his floor is already high. Tampa's defense was good and so was the Commanders. Miami's was good too in its own way. Purdy handled them better than most starting QBs.
Brock is my cousin, not only is he a phenomenal football player but he’s also a great guy and man of faith. He will always put others before him , that’s a leader any team would want
Bill Walsh always talked about how important a QB's footwork was in evaluating them. I look at Brock Purdy's feet when he drops back to pass, and it reminds me alot of Joe Montana's footwork. I think the 49ers have struck gold again. I am a believer in the young man as a consistent starting QB in the NFL.
He's not just dinking and dunking it down the field. He's F*in slinging it all over the field. As a 9'ers fan, this is so awesome to watch. What the playoff have in store for us remain to be seen but at this point in time, this is awesome. We haven't seen this type of QB play since the Jeff Garcia, TO, Stokes, Hearst years. Purdy has nothing to lose and he's playing out of his mind and making the most of this opportunity. He has almost as many TD passes in 6 games as Russell Wilson had all season!
I wanna touch on that last point of people saying he only looks good because of the system. That's an absurd reason to tear away his success. He should be complimented for running the offense as well as he has. I think he is fortunate to land in a situation that matches his natural skill set so well, but everyone should be patting themselves on the back. For the scouts to recognize his ability, for the coaches who placed their trust in him, and for Brock who has taken advantage his opportunity to the maximum.
Superb analysis, thank you for that breakdown of Purdy’s performances so far. Loved that added analysis of the defences he’s faced thus far. The pass-rush from the Dolphins was very strong, they smelt blood, but he was superb and faced it down and grew from there. As a 9’ers fan I’m also worried he hasn’t faced strong opposition such as the Eagles, Cowboys, etc yet, but then THEY haven’t faced the hottest team, most powerful defence, in the NFL either, so swings-&-roundabouts there. The next 2 games will add further to his experience and self-confidence (not that he’s lacking that!).
I am now a 49ers fan because this guy has the same last name as me and I've been anxiously awaiting his NFL debut. I can't believe it happened so soon, and I'm glad he's on a good team!
As an Iowa State fan, I am excited to see Brock come into his own in the NFL. I am just apprehensive of his performance in the playoffs, he had a habit of messing up in important college games/bowl games.
As a 49ers fan, I've watched every single game, for years. I saw Kyle with backup QBs before. They had some success, but looked panicked half the time. Anyone who says this is about Kyle's offense needs to explain why it didn't look like that with all of those other backup QBs, or even the starters. Because this is looking better than Jimmy. It felt like Kyle has been more aggressive with his play calling. At first I thought he just decided to go for it since they had nothing to lose, with a 7th round rookie QB, but a lot of those play calls were there with Jimmy as well. It has more to do with CMC really, Jimmy looked much better in the 4 games he with with CMC starting. From week to week, Kyle has figured out more things he can do with his new weapon. Switching him and Kittle is one of those new things. If Kyle keeps up these play design/calls, and the defense keeps playing like the #1 defense they are, it will be hard to beat this team in the next 6 games btw, that one INT in the Miami game was on 4th down. If you don't complete the pass, the next best thing is an interception. An incompletion or a sack means better field position. It was a good decision, he gave his guy a shot and it was basically like a short punt. I've seen a lot of QBs throw it away or take a sack in that situation.
I am an Iowa State fan, and I've seen him play many many games in the four years he played in Ames. The guy was one outstanding QB. The media totally ignored him and focused on players from other schools. I am glad the 49rs decided to give him a chance, and by doing that, they discovered a gem. I hope he wins the SB in his first year in the NFL.
@@stergiosserres6680 purdy was getting first round hype and his college stats are amazing and his college record was better than most of the draft plus he went to a mid-major college with a good conference so what changed? Did the analyst make yet another mistake?
@@jasonlasick4396 all NFL analysts, experts, and coaches prioritize two things when they draft QBs. Arm strength, and height. Doug Flutie proved that a short guy can play the game too - and it was not just him. (One that comes to mind is Mark Sanchez, and maybe even Russel Wilson, Tua, and Justin Fields ....don’t know exactly their height, but they don’t look tall to me). Now, Purdy runs the 49rs offense like a well oiled machine. He spreads the ball around like Brady did for so many years. H definitely got a bright future ahead of him. To answer your question. Yess. The analysts made another mistake, and I believe most of those analysts and coaches , believed that Purdy was not even good enough to be in the NFL’s practice squad teams. Now they see the kid playing at the highest level, and they are slobbering at his talent.
120+ touchdowns in high school and back to back championship games both loses. 100+ touchdowns in college and 32 school records. Fastest split 10 at the nfl combine at 1.55 seconds 10 yard. Fastest in the nfl. Number 1 rated quarterback in the nfl. Youngest quarterback to pass for 300+ yards and 3+ touchdowns in a playoff game breaking Dan Marino record. Why no one drafted this stud when everyone needs quarterbacks.
My favorite thing about Purdy is seeing him after a touchdown not celebrate but instead dap up a lineman or two and get off the field for the PAT. He’s already showing true professionalism at a very young age. I’m not going to jump on the hype train to early but right now it’s hard not too.
Great break down! “He thinks he Michael Vick too??! “ 🤣🤣👍👍 It has been such a pleasure as a long time 9er fan to see this kid excel A diamond in the rough ! 49ers struck gold!! 7:35
Disagree with "diamond in the rough." That suggests an unpolished, elite talent. Purdy's the opposite, his polish and grasp of the finer pints of his position is his best attribute. Purdy is a found treasure, not a rough diamond.
@@rca-559 What about him? He'll make a great backup for Purdy until they can find a team that buys in on his potential and is willing to trade assets for him..
I'm getting some strong Patriots vibes from the 49ers in the years to come. The coaching staff is amazing, the management is amazing able to get great line ups for both the O and the defense, and now they've finally found themselves a QB able to execute on what the management, coaching staff, and the O line ups are giving him. Great things to come and potentially a dynasty if nothing horrible happens
This is one of the better analysis styles I've seen. Subscribed. Obviously the depth of knowledge, but the whole 'package' - unobtrusive but still there back ground beats, well paced video with detailed but simple graphics (read: no John Madden squiggles), and polished off with an understated narration style. Keep packing the dry humor, Tex. Great stuff!
Some things you just can’t catch and his pocket awareness/mobility and quick thinking is top notch. He’s not the most athletically gifted but he more than makes up for it in other areas.
As a former ISU student during Purdy’s entire career who watched almost every game, I understood why he was a 7th round pick. He used to be a 1 read QB who’d stare down receivers and lacked in arm talent. Now though, his field sense has improved considerably and even though I still think the arm strength is suspect, he’s improved in basically every area and everyone associated with the cyclones is so excited for him
I have not heard any comment on the coaching from Iowa state that developed Brock. Playing four years with good coaching has to be an integral part of his story.
Thank you for showing the levels of difficulty and the movement of Purdy. Jimmy would have been sacked by 90% of the plays that were shown. Nothing against him; Jimmy's a pocket passer without Purdy's level of mobility.
There was a time when Purdy's name was at least being mentioned with Heisman. He was a long-time started at the D1 level so he does have some battle scars. He's athletic and a quick study. Not the strongest arm but quick release and knows his limits. He's going to be around a while.
We have annointed practically every QB since Young as the next HoFer. Purdy has performed marvelously. Lets ride this hot hand as far as it goes. If Purdy turns into a longterm superstar, all the better, but lets keep out expectations modest for now.
Great work! The details about defense and assignments really enhances the whole game experience. Can't wait to see what's next and what the playoffs look like.
This is one or the nice stories of the season. Thank you for this great video, your analyses are Always spot-on and i like how you take your Time talking about defensive schemes.
Great video. Although he’s shown some cracks in his 4.5 games. The fact that he’s playing at this level in his rookie year is a testament to his composure, the system Shanahan developed, and the supportive nature of the locker room. 49ers are a team built to challenge the best. Looking forward to the playoffs.
During the Bucs game Purdy takes a shot on the opening drive from Tampa with a helmet to helmet call and then proceeds to demolish them. That hit didn't not phase him it just pissed him off.
He's a solid QB with a great team around him. Not talking anything away from his play because he is managing the game very well. I'm a Bengals fan. I'm thinkin there is gonna be an 80s rematch for the SB this year. The niners are by far the most complete team in the league. I just hope he doesn't get Nick Foles-ed after coming in and playing so good and get traded to some crap team expecting him to pull off some miraculous turn around of their entire franchise.
Anyone who watched a lot of Niner games the last 10 years knows that this kid already looks like a playmaker compared to everyone else we’ve had. The poise is real.
I'm 32 and been a Niner fan since day 1. I have never felt this way when Purdy drops back to pass, it's like literally anything can happen at anytime for our offense
He is surprisingly nifty in the pocket with excellent feet, and has seemingly caught up to the NFL game really quickly. While we've seen other flash-in-the-pans before, I think this kind of early success can lead to long term excellence- if the Niners handle and develop him correctly. I never saw him in college, and can only imagine that his size held back his draft stock.
A lot of people don’t see it because they’re haters. I think we have the next Brady on our hands. Def a top tier QB. Kid just turned 23 and has the demeanor of a 50yo. He’s special.
@@Psalmist6693 when the niners traded for CMC they essentially got another deebo. He’s a RB that can play WR, similar to deebo who’s a WR that can play RB.
Jimmy G is who he is. There’s enough tape on him. I don’t think he is as bad as a lot of the SF media says he is, and I personally was pumped when he came back to SF. I’m sure he will go win wherever he goes but might not ultimately win a SB. Brock obviously has a small bit of pro tape on him and all of it is fire. The same people overstating his skill set will shit on him as soon as he slips a little. Brock has definitely outplayed anything I thought he could be so I’m cautiously optimistic about his run.
I'm not near ready to crown Purdy yet, but it's hard to argue that the offense doesn't look different with him running it. Purdy is willing to throw outside the numbers and actually looks first for the big play deep. Those are things Jimmy rarely ever did. Plus, Purdy has displayed quite a bit more mobility than Garoppolo. He's saved himself in instances that would have likely been sacks for Garoppolo. He seems to play better under duress. Also, Jimmy is known to make at least 2 throws a game that leaves you scratching your head. Despite his lack of NFL experience, we haven't really seen that from Purdy....yet. Which brings up the point in that Purdy could just be getting started. Jimmy has all but reached his ceiling. There are fans and even local analysts who watch far more 49ers tape than the average fan who say it appears as if Kyle Shanahan actually trusts Brock Purdy more than he ever did Jimmy G. Again, I'm not ready to crown him, but I can certainly see a possible future with him being "the guy". ....and, I'm a fan of Lance.
Jimmy is super uncomposed in the pocket. Watch his feet before any throw that isn't a bang-bang play. Also Jimmy is nowhere near as athletic. I do think Brock is a product of the system and he won't look nearly as good at a mediocre/bad team but he is absolutely better than Jimmy. That's not even an argument.
I watched him on the Shrine Bowl and I saw a career backup like Case Keenum or Brian Hoyer at best. When I watched him enter and dominate the Dolphins and Bucs I couldn't believe it was the same kid. I give tons of credit to Shanahan and Griese for coaching up this kid. I have to remind myself he is a rookie every time I see him composed against pressure which is typically a killer for rookies.
Honestly, Bill Walsh was a master at taking QB who were not seen as much & making them something. Montana was a 3rd round pick, but Walsh saw something. The system, Walsh's & the Shanahan's is designed for the QB to be a success if he can execute. It's not an accident that Shanahan's dad ran the Niners O before taking the HC job at DEN. Griese was brought in for Lance but, obviously, all the QB benefited. Just my two cents as an SF native who got to watch Walsh at Stanford then with the Niners.
I’m here to report from the future. Cowboys vs 49ers. 17-12 niners. Let’s keep this Cinderella story going Brock. I think we got the next Brady on our hands boys. I said it in a family group chat after his first game. Next weekend against the Eagles in the conference finals. LFG.
Really nice film breakdown. Recurring theme with Purdy are those quick feet, it’s impossible to predict his release point. I’m seeing Roger Staubach, not a true runner but a scrambler who can throw from anywhere and any posture. Good release isn’t as elite as Garoppolo, but he’s in trouble less often.
He’s the next Tom Brady. The kid is the greatest rookie QB I’ve ever seen. And I’m a Steelers fan. He’s just incredible to watch. I think SF will be the next dynasty.
I think the fact he’s been thrust in when he was, being such a late pick, and doing well is crazy. There’s been first round draft picks who’ve done a lot worse
This is a great take, ive heard so many unhinged takes on purdy talking like he is the second coming of christ. Hes good, sure, but more importantly, he has a lot of weapons and a fantastic coach at the helm. We need to see more games with him against decent teams. The cardinals, dolphins, and even raiders to an extent were all very easily winnable games, and the fact the raiders managed to give them a really hard time is a testament to how they could get exposed against mahomes or burrow.
I like what Joe Montana said. “You never want to put your QB in a bad position.“ He said that when referring to Jimmy G running out of the end zone. He said JG should have known where the line was, but Kyle calling a seven step drop (via shot run) put him in a bad position.
Narrator of this video must have played; he knows his stuff and tells a good story. Saw video of the call the team made to Purdy when he was drafted. The 49ers wanted him and are just reading the benefits before expected.
Coming in late... it's surprising that like many other benchers who've been given the opportunity, he hasn't succumbed to the pressure and fallen apart. It's obvious he's confident in his ability and in his teammates ability to move the ball in tandem with one another. Success breeds success... so coming out strong helped to solidify his teams trust in him that he could perform.. as well as his trust in himself. Nice to see a fella, that not much was expected from... Shine. Now it's just a matter of facing better defense teams... and avoiding injury. Then we'll know that he's made of. Here's to hoping his career doesn't get snuffed out just as he's gotten noticed in the bigs.
I love how people say give this qb a few years then he will be good. Let him be under this qb and learn first. Meanwhile Purdy just comes in make plays and win.
Just wait til first time Trey unloads a 60+ yd bomb in training camp and for the conversation to just continue. Dude has performed and improvised at high football IQ. Not biggest arm, but operates well in pocket, on run, under pressure.
@@ceebee8042 No doubt at least as a high level backup, but what he’s shown is better than some of the 32. It’s always crazy to think how many people just never get the shot. It only takes the two starters above him to get season ending injuries and then you have to perform under whatever circumstances you’re thrown into.
Purdy is not just gonna give the job back to Trey. He'll fight him for it, and Brock has earned the right to make it a proper fight. If Broc wins playoff games, especially if he wins more than 1, then Trey starts the next season as a backup.
@@hagamapama He's winning that fight. He needs to clean up some jiterriness and survive defensive coaches scheming against. He's also shown nice pocket mobility, quick enough release, nice pre snap/post snap processing. He's a better QB for Shanahan at the moment and until proven otherwise.
@@hagamapama they had more invested in jimmy g last year and he got them to the championship game yet lance was the starter by july, purdy will be the backup next year shanahan loves lance
Damn. He really does. Steve young is one of my favorite players. I know his scramble like the back of my mind. It’s extremely similar indeed. Great observation.
The 49ers definitely struck gold with Purdy. There is no doubt about it, Purdy is a first round product that somehow slipped through the cracks and went unnoticed, like Tom Brady did. If he guides the 49ers to a Super Bowl win, he will make one of the best Cinderella sports stories in sports history. I hope this becomes a reality.
'Arm angles'... 'weapon'... 'edge rusher' -- today's buzzwords that get scouts and coaches fired. They are all trying to find these subjective, flashy, nonsensical/meaningless skills instead of true fundamentals and balanced formations/personnel groupings. In terms of Brock and the 49ers -- they are awesome, no question. Only team that looks organized and the quaterback is playing so well because the timing of his drop back allows him to always be in perfect rhythm. His 4th dimensional trait of understanding time/space is matching perfectly with what the 49ers always do (since Bill Walsh). Anyway, I am just joking with you about the buzzwords. (Although those words are starting to get tired... really, really tired!) The fundamentals you cover and the way you teach the concepts visually is very refreshing -- and VERY well done! I hope the NFL shifts back to being efficient, sound, fluid, balanced, and on time. Maybe coaches will go back to grading these timeless treasures instead of zoom/zip motion, extending plays, no-look arm angles, while trying to evade the edge rusher by changing his arm angles. Blah,blah, blah....👎
the young man is definitely fun to watch. The fact he has gotten alot of reps in practice against the 49ers defense no doubt helped.... the fact they all seem unsurprised about his good play says alot as well to me.

The Bears adjusted One Thing & their entire offense started scoring 30+ instead of 20-. Yes, we can still see Fields miss passes *with the Bears* but guess what?
He _didn't_ miss them in college. That's why he got drafted so high. Kirk Cousins threw 2 INTs against Indy while Justin Jefferson was on the bench. The replacement receiver didn't run the route correctly. Receivers.
The Bears have possibly The Worst collection of receivers in the league.
2) I have _always_ been able to abandon the teachings of anyone I knew was wrong. Coaching isn't *mind control.* Lawrence dropped two of four fumbles against the Eagles without anyone even touching him. No one _taught_ him to forget about the damned football.
Reread why the analogy of Mike Schmidt is important or don't. But you not getting it doesn't mean it's not apt.
Idk why I keep getting served this channel but this is the best video I've seen, pretty balanced and real on the defenses he's been facing.
Yes, Kyle's offense and the talented skill players are helping Brock, but Purdy is also playing at a very high level for any NFL QB, let alone a rookie. And yes, he's still learning and improving, but his floor is already high.
Tampa's defense was good and so was the Commanders. Miami's was good too in its own way. Purdy handled them better than most starting QBs.
His floor is already high? Is it unusually close to his ceiling?
@@jays1752 Why all the hate bro?
@@jays1752 not even close doing this as a rookie just shows his ceiling is so much more
Highest passer rating in the league. Over119 quarterback passer rating.
Brock is my cousin, not only is he a phenomenal football player but he’s also a great guy and man of faith. He will always put others before him , that’s a leader any team would want
He’s 100% class on and off the field
Bill Walsh always talked about how important a QB's footwork was in evaluating them. I look at Brock Purdy's feet when he drops back to pass, and it reminds me alot of Joe Montana's footwork. I think the 49ers have struck gold again. I am a believer in the young man as a consistent starting QB in the NFL.
Those of us that watched him play at ISU have been waiting for this. We knew he was going to be a star.
He's not just dinking and dunking it down the field. He's F*in slinging it all over the field. As a 9'ers fan, this is so awesome to watch. What the playoff have in store for us remain to be seen but at this point in time, this is awesome. We haven't seen this type of QB play since the Jeff Garcia, TO, Stokes, Hearst years. Purdy has nothing to lose and he's playing out of his mind and making the most of this opportunity. He has almost as many TD passes in 6 games as Russell Wilson had all season!
Yes, what he have like 30 school records? 100+ college touchdowns and over 120 high school touchdowns and at least two a game in the nfl. Dude a stud.
I wanna touch on that last point of people saying he only looks good because of the system. That's an absurd reason to tear away his success. He should be complimented for running the offense as well as he has. I think he is fortunate to land in a situation that matches his natural skill set so well, but everyone should be patting themselves on the back. For the scouts to recognize his ability, for the coaches who placed their trust in him, and for Brock who has taken advantage his opportunity to the maximum.
Superb analysis, thank you for that breakdown of Purdy’s performances so far. Loved that added analysis of the defences he’s faced thus far. The pass-rush from the Dolphins was very strong, they smelt blood, but he was superb and faced it down and grew from there.
As a 9’ers fan I’m also worried he hasn’t faced strong opposition such as the Eagles, Cowboys, etc yet, but then THEY haven’t faced the hottest team, most powerful defence, in the NFL either, so swings-&-roundabouts there.
The next 2 games will add further to his experience and self-confidence (not that he’s lacking that!).
Excellent analysis, very clear and outstandingly knowledgeable.
I am now a 49ers fan because this guy has the same last name as me and I've been anxiously awaiting his NFL debut. I can't believe it happened so soon, and I'm glad he's on a good team!
Purdy is what I thought Zach Wilson would look like on the jets.
Please don't remind us 😔
Bingo same here, I thought Zack Wilson would be playing like this as well. But when it comes to scouting QB it's toughest position to scout.
They say zach has a strong arm. But you need more big arm to be successful. Sorry jets. Jimmy is our gift to you lol
@@rca-559 you’re absolutely right. Look at purdy he doesn’t have the strongest of arms but he’s far ahead of Zach Wilson in every way.
@@Kaisaccountt even though 49ers they surround him with weapons. Wilson has been a disaster. Wilson compare to mahomes arm strength.
As an Iowa State fan, I am excited to see Brock come into his own in the NFL. I am just apprehensive of his performance in the playoffs, he had a habit of messing up in important college games/bowl games.
As a 49ers fan, I've watched every single game, for years. I saw Kyle with backup QBs before. They had some success, but looked panicked half the time. Anyone who says this is about Kyle's offense needs to explain why it didn't look like that with all of those other backup QBs, or even the starters. Because this is looking better than Jimmy.
It felt like Kyle has been more aggressive with his play calling. At first I thought he just decided to go for it since they had nothing to lose, with a 7th round rookie QB, but a lot of those play calls were there with Jimmy as well. It has more to do with CMC really, Jimmy looked much better in the 4 games he with with CMC starting. From week to week, Kyle has figured out more things he can do with his new weapon. Switching him and Kittle is one of those new things.
If Kyle keeps up these play design/calls, and the defense keeps playing like the #1 defense they are, it will be hard to beat this team in the next 6 games
btw, that one INT in the Miami game was on 4th down. If you don't complete the pass, the next best thing is an interception. An incompletion or a sack means better field position. It was a good decision, he gave his guy a shot and it was basically like a short punt. I've seen a lot of QBs throw it away or take a sack in that situation.
Purdy was a good qb in college and I'm not an Iowa St fan. This guy was largely under-rated.
Purdy was a beast in college and I’m an Iowa fan. Although it is kinda trippy watching him throw to Kittle now lol
I am an Iowa State fan, and I've seen him play many many games in the four years he played in Ames. The guy was one outstanding QB. The media totally ignored him and focused on players from other schools. I am glad the 49rs decided to give him a chance, and by doing that, they discovered a gem. I hope he wins the SB in his first year in the NFL.
@@stergiosserres6680 purdy was getting first round hype and his college stats are amazing and his college record was better than most of the draft plus he went to a mid-major college with a good conference so what changed? Did the analyst make yet another mistake?
@@jasonlasick4396 all NFL analysts, experts, and coaches prioritize two things when they draft QBs. Arm strength, and height. Doug Flutie proved that a short guy can play the game too - and it was not just him. (One that comes to mind is Mark Sanchez, and maybe even Russel Wilson, Tua, and Justin Fields ....don’t know exactly their height, but they don’t look tall to me). Now, Purdy runs the 49rs offense like a well oiled machine. He spreads the ball around like Brady did for so many years. H definitely got a bright future ahead of him. To answer your question. Yess. The analysts made another mistake, and I believe most of those analysts and coaches , believed that Purdy was not even good enough to be in the NFL’s practice squad teams. Now they see the kid playing at the highest level, and they are slobbering at his talent.
120+ touchdowns in high school and back to back championship games both loses. 100+ touchdowns in college and 32 school records. Fastest split 10 at the nfl combine at 1.55 seconds 10 yard. Fastest in the nfl. Number 1 rated quarterback in the nfl. Youngest quarterback to pass for 300+ yards and 3+ touchdowns in a playoff game breaking Dan Marino record. Why no one drafted this stud when everyone needs quarterbacks.
Tom Brady is living proof that it doesn’t matter what round your drafted in, Purdys out here reminding us of that.
My favorite thing about Purdy is seeing him after a touchdown not celebrate but instead dap up a lineman or two and get off the field for the PAT. He’s already showing true professionalism at a very young age. I’m not going to jump on the hype train to early but right now it’s hard not too.
Great break down! “He thinks he Michael Vick too??! “
🤣🤣👍👍
It has been such a pleasure as a long time 9er fan to see this kid excel
A diamond in the rough !
49ers struck gold!!
7:35
Disagree with "diamond in the rough." That suggests an unpolished, elite talent. Purdy's the opposite, his polish and grasp of the finer pints of his position is his best attribute. Purdy is a found treasure, not a rough diamond.
What about Trey5😂?
@@rca-559 What about him? He'll make a great backup for Purdy until they can find a team that buys in on his potential and is willing to trade assets for him..
@@hagamapama traded for 2 firsts a taken w the 3rd overall pick, this is treys team until further notice
@@ravens4207 haha...I want what you are smoking
I'm getting some strong Patriots vibes from the 49ers in the years to come. The coaching staff is amazing, the management is amazing able to get great line ups for both the O and the defense, and now they've finally found themselves a QB able to execute on what the management, coaching staff, and the O line ups are giving him. Great things to come and potentially a dynasty if nothing horrible happens
Ahh the sprint right option the play that launched a Dynasty. Red n Gold forever!
Montana to Clark!
Thanks for your work in this video. Very helpful analysis while keeping it fun!
I love these videos they really teach me so much about defense coverage and offense formations, and routes combination.
This is one of the better analysis styles I've seen. Subscribed. Obviously the depth of knowledge, but the whole 'package' - unobtrusive but still there back ground beats, well paced video with detailed but simple graphics (read: no John Madden squiggles), and polished off with an understated narration style. Keep packing the dry humor, Tex. Great stuff!
Some things you just can’t catch and his pocket awareness/mobility and quick thinking is top notch. He’s not the most athletically gifted but he more than makes up for it in other areas.
As a former ISU student during Purdy’s entire career who watched almost every game, I understood why he was a 7th round pick. He used to be a 1 read QB who’d stare down receivers and lacked in arm talent. Now though, his field sense has improved considerably and even though I still think the arm strength is suspect, he’s improved in basically every area and everyone associated with the cyclones is so excited for him
I have not heard any comment on the coaching from Iowa state that developed Brock. Playing four years with good coaching has to be an integral part of his story.
Thank you for showing the levels of difficulty and the movement of Purdy. Jimmy would have been sacked by 90% of the plays that were shown. Nothing against him; Jimmy's a pocket passer without Purdy's level of mobility.
There was a time when Purdy's name was at least being mentioned with Heisman. He was a long-time started at the D1 level so he does have some battle scars. He's athletic and a quick study. Not the strongest arm but quick release and knows his limits. He's going to be around a while.
We have annointed practically every QB since Young as the next HoFer. Purdy has performed marvelously. Lets ride this hot hand as far as it goes. If Purdy turns into a longterm superstar, all the better, but lets keep out expectations modest for now.
Great work! The details about defense and assignments really enhances the whole game experience. Can't wait to see what's next and what the playoffs look like.
Great video, thanks for the breakdown. Glock Purdy is making this offense score and that's all it takes
Purdy is becoming the most relevant "Mr. Irrelevant" since Ryan Succop.
This is one or the nice stories of the season.
Thank you for this great video, your analyses are Always spot-on and i like how you take your Time talking about defensive schemes.
Great video. Although he’s shown some cracks in his 4.5 games. The fact that he’s playing at this level in his rookie year is a testament to his composure, the system Shanahan developed, and the supportive nature of the locker room. 49ers are a team built to challenge the best. Looking forward to the playoffs.
During the Bucs game Purdy takes a shot on the opening drive from Tampa with a helmet to helmet call and then proceeds to demolish them. That hit didn't not phase him it just pissed him off.
Bucs* - The Bucks are an NBA team
@@scattau41 SHUT UP GRAMMER NAZI, auto correct on the phone spells what it wants.
@@scattau41 ah shit dude I thought this was a pickle ball break-down. Thanks dude
@@03BangBang happy to help any special needs Niner fan!
He's a solid QB with a great team around him. Not talking anything away from his play because he is managing the game very well. I'm a Bengals fan. I'm thinkin there is gonna be an 80s rematch for the SB this year. The niners are by far the most complete team in the league. I just hope he doesn't get Nick Foles-ed after coming in and playing so good and get traded to some crap team expecting him to pull off some miraculous turn around of their entire franchise.
NiNERS vs the Bengals in the superbowl cause I think joe burrow got mahomes # now.. NiNERS fan here but i do like what the bengals are doing
Niners, Bills and Eagles are about even as far as complete teams. But if Purdy continues to get better, SF gets the edge.
@@dr6507 Buffalo has no chance, I take it?
@@jays1752 they had a good chance before von miller got hurt! But than again that’s josh allen, he is a beast too so we can’t just sleep ob him
@@jays1752 i agree
He's got an arm and he's got guts. I think Brock Purdy is gonna be important for us in the near future.
excellent breakdown. So well done. Purdy could be good, we need time to see how he responds when his confidence is dented.
Great content, keep up the good work. Appreciate your channel.
More impressive is how hes able to stay in the pocket under presure and not force a bad throw
"Struck gold" has a whole new pun in San Francisco
Anyone who watched a lot of Niner games the last 10 years knows that this kid already looks like a playmaker compared to everyone else we’ve had. The poise is real.
I'm 32 and been a Niner fan since day 1. I have never felt this way when Purdy drops back to pass, it's like literally anything can happen at anytime for our offense
Make that 20 years.
Wow, love your play analysis! Great job.
He is surprisingly nifty in the pocket with excellent feet, and has seemingly caught up to the NFL game really quickly. While we've seen other flash-in-the-pans before, I think this kind of early success can lead to long term excellence- if the Niners handle and develop him correctly. I never saw him in college, and can only imagine that his size held back his draft stock.
Doesn't matter how strong your arm is, how clean your spiral is, how athletic you are. It all depends how good you can play being pressured.
You mean record breaking performances. The best quarterback I’ve seen in the last twenty years. He’s the real deal.
A lot of people don’t see it because they’re haters. I think we have the next Brady on our hands. Def a top tier QB. Kid just turned 23 and has the demeanor of a 50yo. He’s special.
Great video, very informative sharing how the offensive and defensive systems actually work
Honestly the best thing about him is that there’s no drop off to go from Jimmy to Brock
The offense got better with Purdy
If anything, they look better. The big difference I see is when Purdy throws, I don't automatically expect an interception like I do with Jimmy.
@@Spongemonkey26 4 INTS in 11 game is pretty solid but I agree that Purdy looks a lot more steady so far.
he is far better than jimmy lol
Great video and breakdown of defenses!!!! Let the haters hate!! Go NinerZZZ! Just a smart QB who has played a lot of ball! Brock rules!
I hope my man gets to 100k followers, this is the best NFL content on TH-cam! Without all the silliness!
The white Deebo and black CMC got me dead
@@Psalmist6693 when the niners traded for CMC they essentially got another deebo. He’s a RB that can play WR, similar to deebo who’s a WR that can play RB.
Do you have to designate before the play who the running back is? Cause if it is not, I can imagine them causing all kind of confusion
I totally forgot about that 6:50 play. It's just ridiculous how many plays he's made like this each game.
jimmy g wouldve taken the sack
Absolute poise while being chased down in his own end zone, doesn't even hurry the pass.
he's a natural in terms of timing. foot work, throwing motion, everything seems to be like a dance.
Easy to understand analysis, even for non football coaching types.
How did we go from Garoppolo is only good because he’s in San Francisco to Brock Purdy is the future????
Jimmy G is who he is. There’s enough tape on him. I don’t think he is as bad as a lot of the SF media says he is,
and I personally was pumped when he came back to SF. I’m sure he will go win wherever he goes but might not ultimately win a SB.
Brock obviously has a small bit of pro tape on him and all of it is fire. The same people overstating his skill set will shit on him as soon as he slips a little.
Brock has definitely outplayed anything I thought he could be so I’m cautiously optimistic about his run.
Jimmy poops his pants under pressure. Purdy has a big brock under pressure.
cuz this offense averaging more with him without deebo💀
I'm not near ready to crown Purdy yet, but it's hard to argue that the offense doesn't look different with him running it. Purdy is willing to throw outside the numbers and actually looks first for the big play deep. Those are things Jimmy rarely ever did. Plus, Purdy has displayed quite a bit more mobility than Garoppolo. He's saved himself in instances that would have likely been sacks for Garoppolo. He seems to play better under duress. Also, Jimmy is known to make at least 2 throws a game that leaves you scratching your head. Despite his lack of NFL experience, we haven't really seen that from Purdy....yet. Which brings up the point in that Purdy could just be getting started. Jimmy has all but reached his ceiling. There are fans and even local analysts who watch far more 49ers tape than the average fan who say it appears as if Kyle Shanahan actually trusts Brock Purdy more than he ever did Jimmy G. Again, I'm not ready to crown him, but I can certainly see a possible future with him being "the guy". ....and, I'm a fan of Lance.
Jimmy is super uncomposed in the pocket. Watch his feet before any throw that isn't a bang-bang play. Also Jimmy is nowhere near as athletic. I do think Brock is a product of the system and he won't look nearly as good at a mediocre/bad team but he is absolutely better than Jimmy. That's not even an argument.
Them getting him at the very last pick of the draft was the biggest steal by any team ever
I watched him on the Shrine Bowl and I saw a career backup like Case Keenum or Brian Hoyer at best. When I watched him enter and dominate the Dolphins and Bucs I couldn't believe it was the same kid. I give tons of credit to Shanahan and Griese for coaching up this kid. I have to remind myself he is a rookie every time I see him composed against pressure which is typically a killer for rookies.
Honestly, Bill Walsh was a master at taking QB who were not seen as much & making them something. Montana was a 3rd round pick, but Walsh saw something. The system, Walsh's & the Shanahan's is designed for the QB to be a success if he can execute.
It's not an accident that Shanahan's dad ran the Niners O before taking the HC job at DEN. Griese was brought in for Lance but, obviously, all the QB benefited.
Just my two cents as an SF native who got to watch Walsh at Stanford then with the Niners.
I’m here to report from the future. Cowboys vs 49ers. 17-12 niners. Let’s keep this Cinderella story going Brock. I think we got the next Brady on our hands boys. I said it in a family group chat after his first game. Next weekend against the Eagles in the conference finals. LFG.
It feels so good to be a niners fan especially after having multiple losing seasons in a row
Really nice film breakdown. Recurring theme with Purdy are those quick feet, it’s impossible to predict his release point. I’m seeing Roger Staubach, not a true runner but a scrambler who can throw from anywhere and any posture. Good release isn’t as elite as Garoppolo, but he’s in trouble less often.
This is a great channel. Learning from Oz 🇦🇺
He’s the next Tom Brady. The kid is the greatest rookie QB I’ve ever seen. And I’m a Steelers fan. He’s just incredible to watch. I think SF will be the next dynasty.
Fantastic video, great breakdowns of coverages. Well done, man. Keep up the excellent work👍
He's not doing anything spectacular but his qb IQ is high. He's a student of the game. He lives in the film room.
what they say about every white receiver or qb 💀
Lol at least watch this short video before yoy comment
I think the fact he’s been thrust in when he was, being such a late pick, and doing well is crazy. There’s been first round draft picks who’ve done a lot worse
We will just have to wait an see through the playoffs how good this young man is.
HIs ability to take risk in waiting till the last second to get the ball out is ballsy af but its working.
This is a great take, ive heard so many unhinged takes on purdy talking like he is the second coming of christ. Hes good, sure, but more importantly, he has a lot of weapons and a fantastic coach at the helm. We need to see more games with him against decent teams. The cardinals, dolphins, and even raiders to an extent were all very easily winnable games, and the fact the raiders managed to give them a really hard time is a testament to how they could get exposed against mahomes or burrow.
I like what Joe Montana said. “You never want to put your QB in a bad position.“ He said that when referring to Jimmy G running out of the end zone. He said JG should have known where the line was, but Kyle calling a seven step drop (via shot run) put him in a bad position.
As a Niner fan this is amazing!!!
Excellent analysis. So cool that Mr. Irrelevant is making a major impact for a very good team. What are the 49ers going to do next year?
Love the breakdown videos, keep it up
Narrator of this video must have played; he knows his stuff and tells a good story. Saw video of the call the team made to Purdy when he was drafted. The 49ers wanted him and are just reading the benefits before expected.
Nice job. Super detailed. Love it.
God has got to be a 49ER FAN!!
In short block party Brock Purdy kicks ass!
Coming in late... it's surprising that like many other benchers who've been given the opportunity, he hasn't succumbed to the pressure and fallen apart. It's obvious he's confident in his ability and in his teammates ability to move the ball in tandem with one another. Success breeds success... so coming out strong helped to solidify his teams trust in him that he could perform.. as well as his trust in himself. Nice to see a fella, that not much was expected from... Shine. Now it's just a matter of facing better defense teams... and avoiding injury. Then we'll know that he's made of. Here's to hoping his career doesn't get snuffed out just as he's gotten noticed in the bigs.
The white deebo samuel and the black CMC LMAO
I love how people say give this qb a few years then he will be good. Let him be under this qb and learn first. Meanwhile Purdy just comes in make plays and win.
Just wait til first time Trey unloads a 60+ yd bomb in training camp and for the conversation to just continue.
Dude has performed and improvised at high football IQ. Not biggest arm, but operates well in pocket, on run, under pressure.
He has earned a good 10 year career In NFL.
@@ceebee8042 No doubt at least as a high level backup, but what he’s shown is better than some of the 32.
It’s always crazy to think how many people just never get the shot.
It only takes the two starters above him to get season ending injuries and then you have to perform under whatever circumstances you’re thrown into.
Purdy is not just gonna give the job back to Trey. He'll fight him for it, and Brock has earned the right to make it a proper fight.
If Broc wins playoff games, especially if he wins more than 1, then Trey starts the next season as a backup.
@@hagamapama He's winning that fight. He needs to clean up some jiterriness and survive defensive coaches scheming against.
He's also shown nice pocket mobility, quick enough release, nice pre snap/post snap processing. He's a better QB for Shanahan at the moment and until proven otherwise.
@@hagamapama they had more invested in jimmy g last year and he got them to the championship game yet lance was the starter by july, purdy will be the backup next year shanahan loves lance
Gosh, Brock reminds me so much of Steve Young. When Purdy scrambles he looks so much like Young, IMO.
Damn. He really does. Steve young is one of my favorite players. I know his scramble like the back of my mind. It’s extremely similar indeed. Great observation.
thank you for that dissection Professor TF. Sub'd & liked.
The 49ers definitely struck gold with Purdy. There is no doubt about it, Purdy is a first round product that somehow slipped through the cracks and went unnoticed, like Tom Brady did. If he guides the 49ers to a Super Bowl win, he will make one of the best Cinderella sports stories in sports history. I hope this becomes a reality.
No lie purdy look like a hall of fame qb the whole time he started
Solid breakdown bro. Keep it up!!!!
He's a real threat. Putting up Mahomes type numbers.... as a ROOKIE. Unreal.
This is a fantastic channel. Im glad I found it.
This channel is as underrated as Brock Purdy was in november
Not a 49ers fan but I'm sold
I’m nowhere near a niners fan but imagine the story if this kid succeeds.
'Arm angles'... 'weapon'... 'edge rusher' -- today's buzzwords that get scouts and coaches fired. They are all trying to find these subjective, flashy, nonsensical/meaningless skills instead of true fundamentals and balanced formations/personnel groupings.
In terms of Brock and the 49ers -- they are awesome, no question. Only team that looks organized and the quaterback is playing so well because the timing of his drop back allows him to always be in perfect rhythm. His 4th dimensional trait of understanding time/space is matching perfectly with what the 49ers always do (since Bill Walsh).
Anyway, I am just joking with you about the buzzwords. (Although those words are starting to get tired... really, really tired!) The fundamentals you cover and the way you teach the concepts visually is very refreshing -- and VERY well done! I hope the NFL shifts back to being efficient, sound, fluid, balanced, and on time. Maybe coaches will go back to grading these timeless treasures instead of zoom/zip motion, extending plays, no-look arm angles, while trying to evade the edge rusher by changing his arm angles.
Blah,blah, blah....👎
