McCarthy on Brock Purdy

[Rayman70]

Hes Ty Detmer with a better skillset. Make the kid think too much. Make him hesitate.

 

[DoctorChicken]

He’s been highly impressive so far.

Still, he was the last pick of the draft for a reason. One thing he did in college was try to force plays under pressure. Rattling him is the key to this game.

I don't think these cases are similar. Way more parity these days. A stacked team up until 2001 was enough to win a Super Bowl regardless who was Quarterback, that held much stronger back then than now. Nowadays lots of teams are at the same level where previous to that the few standout teams clearly stood out. Warner's 1999 team was an offensive juggernaut and casted a shadow over most of the NFL. '87 Skins was a standout team too. Considered inferior to the 49ers maybe, but the Vikings upset over the Niners opened the door for the skins as the next best bet.

2001 it should've been the Rams because they were far superior, but that was the emergence of Belichick, the defense of New England got way better at the right time, and the tuck rule game... Brady was shut out at halftime and a controversial call got them past the Raiders.

Only one of these I'd say is similar is Nick Foles.

I didn’t say any of them were similar except for Brady, who was in his second year when he took over for Bledsoe and led New England to a championship. I was just pointing out there were five QBs who took over during the season and led their team to a Super Bowl win. To win a championship regardless who the QB is you need a stacked defense. Jim McMahon, Jeff Hostetler, Trent Dilfer, and Brad Johnson didn’t have to do much but manage games because they had great defenses. The 49ers have a great defense. I wouldn’t say it’s to the level of those other teams but it is the number one ranked defense this season.

This has made life a lot easier for Brock Purdy. I don’t see any similarities between Purdy’s situation and Nick Foles. Foles was in his sixth season when he took over for an injured Carson Wentz in 2017. He also had some playoff experience. Foles was having to put up some numbers for Philly to win it all. He had a couple of 350+ yard games in the playoffs including the Super Bowl. He was named Super Bowl MVP. If Purdy is having to put up those kind of yards in the playoffs, it’s likely going to lead to mistakes and San Francisco is going to be in trouble.

So with Coach speak he probably looked at college tape and typical answer non answer.

The legend of Micah Parsons grows on Sunday.

 

[Kingofholland]

I know there's a good amount of NFL film but would still want to look at college film to see if there were any trends that made him struggle and add that wrinkle.

 

[Rayman70]

Watching purdy in college I saw he was at his worst when he was forced to make a throw from the pocket under pressure. When he scrambles he is deadly.

 

[big dog cowboy]

We will destroy him is what Mike really wants to say.

Like fresh meat to the lions.

 

[Proof]

We’re all waiting for Purdy to falter, but so far he hasn’t flinched. Who knows maybe San Francisco struck gold with him. I’m certainly not trying to compare him to Tom Brady, but this is similar to when Brady took over for New England after Drew Bledsoe was injured and led them to a Super Bowl win. It’s happened at least 5 times that I can recall where a QB took over during the season and led their team to a championship. It happened with Jeff Hostetler, Doug Williams, Kurt Warner, Tom Brady and Nick Foles. However, no rookie QB has ever led a team to a Super Bowl.

I'd liken it more to our own Cooper Rush situation earlier this year. Coop looked terrific until he didnt.

Cooper Rush never looked “terrific” but he was solid and didn’t make any mistakes until Philly. We weren’t scoring many points with him and didn’t have much of a passing game. We were winning games with our defense. Purdy has been more productive than Rush. He just put up 332 yards and 3 TDs against Seattle. San Francisco is scoring more points with him than we did with Rush.

 

[DUO_CORE]

Maybe sprinkle in a 3-4 look of:
Lawrence, Hankins, Williams
Clark, VanderEsche, Barr, Parsons

 

[cheftjpeck]

DQ needs to have solid gameplan to protect against screens and tosses- 49ers execute both with great success - as well they have incredible talent built for that type of game - KM needs to get away from long developing drop back plays - more planned bootlegs - running game focus
- it should be a great game - hopefully team takes this game with the focus it garners !!

yeah we were missing our hof LT and our #2 receiver. point being an after thought qb came in his first few games and looked better than anyone thought. also beat the two sb participants. but mostly purdys run with a team that went to the nfccg last year doesn’t bare any resemblance to kurt warner leading a 4-12 team to 13-3

 

[john van brocklin]

Gonna have to be a full team game. Offense has to score and put pressure on him. Defense has to stop the run and make them one dimensional.

Both easier said than done.

Gotta make our kicks too
That's a tall order after the last couple of games fiasco's

 

[Jake]

If we let a 7th round QB beat a DQ defense, whats that say about DQ? the way to beat him is to keep him in the pocket...much like Hurts.

Dallas will have to control McCaffrey and Deebo first. If they're making plays with their feet then Purdy's job is easy. It's not like they're relying on him to be Dan Marino.

 

[Donnie49inSF]

Trust me. Niner Fans have been waiting on the other shoe to drop with Purdy as well. He's been playing well obviously but some cracks have shown. He's had a few dropped picks that were sure things. Last game he was floating balls, throwing behind people(The ball was wet, but still...) and looked shaky overall in the 1q. He played better later in the game. He's slick in the pocket with an average arm. He's very fortunate to have weapons around him everywhere that can pop. Hopefully he can keep it up this Sunday.
