And yet you slobbered over Russell Wilson that way and are currently slobbering over Geno Smith that way.

What? Perhaps you might be mistaken or read poorly.. who knows. You do you though

Lots of saliva in this thread and its nothing compared to the first 8 weeks of last season:

I feel sorry for Lance. It’s not his fault the ‘9ers gave up a king’s ransom to overdraft him.

You think that's saliva? Go back to the webzone and gobble Purdy's knob. The optimistic people in that thread are putting Smith's ceiling maybe a touch higher than what it was last season. No one is calling him a franchise QB.

Kittle echoes what we already know. That SB window is basically slammed shut already due to the Trey Lance debacle. Miami fleeced the crap out of John Lynch and the Fins are now loaded. On the flip side is you got a 49er team struggling to tread water that could’ve used those first round draft picks to reload

RE Trey: Dude. Let...it...go.

"Struggling to tread water". LOL.

Currently have NFLs longest active regular season winning streak with 10 and beat Seattle THREE times last year.

Just stop man. Its pathetic.

So you could or you couldn’t have used those 3 first round picks? You’re not elite. The Eags and Chiefs are elite. Those 3 first round picks could’ve paid off with at least 2 Lombardi’s if you added Micah Parsons. But now since Lynch screwed up and gave away the world for a bust your window is closed.

Sure...those picks would have been nice...but so its multiple All-Pros selected in the 3rd-5th round.

Bro...you are just OBSESSED with those picks they gave up for Lance. Let it go man. They may have gotten a franchise QB at pick 262 and have among the best rosters in the NFL and you can't let it go.

I dunno what's gonna happen with Trey, but bust or not, draft picks are only how he entered the league. What matters is what happens when they get to the league. The 49ers under Shanahan/Lynch have been OUTSTANDING in later rounds. They'll likely have like 8 or more players in the NFL top 100 and 6 in PFFs top 50.

Why do you think you have any idea who is elite and who is not? LOL. Why do you think you know anything about the 49ers window? You just make sh*t up and pass it off as "fact".

Pathetic.

kid was good enough as a rookie to hang with Micah Parsons hunting him all day.
He beat them, read the D, made them pay with timely throws, and bounced the Cowboys asses out of the tourney. A loaded Cowboys D.
7th rounder Mr Irrelevant.
can only get so hard

ok but Dak Prescott threw like three ints, pollard broke his ankle and their kicker missed four extra points. Just saying That if it weren’t for the ints, Dallas probably would have won.

Dak threw 2 INTs and Maher missed ONE extra point. Not sure how you figured his missed 4 of them when Dallas scored 12 pts total.

Also...ya know, 49ers D had something to do with the INTs. Just sayin.

I think she was thinking of the Tampa game a week earlier. Maher missed 4 extra points in that game. It was a record. Too bad Dallas booted him.

Shit, I mixed up mahers performance against Tampa. You’re right.

 

[Weadoption]

but ya pump the breaks, he’s a 7th rounder, noodle arm?, long way to go, all that’s true on some level for any rookie. he was a 7th rounder for a reason. You just can’t measure what is between the ears I guess, or how people react to opportunity.
Maybe he’s just a really really lucky thrower?
He’s not explainable, he isn’t supposed to be able to happen.

 

[GemCity]

I give props where it’s due. If I were a SF fan, I’d feel the same way.

They know they screwed the pooch on Lance. Any team would love to pick up a guy like Purdy, in the round that they did, to recover.

I’d take Geno all day over Purdy but, if dude continues to develop, then they’ve done a great job of making up ground.

Doesn’t mean that I don’t hope they lose every game…every year….until they disintegrate and fall off into the Pacific but, nice rebound with picking him up.

I think its as simple as this...

He's a good athlete who has a decent arm.

...but he's very good processing information quickly, doesn't get rattled easily, has a quick release, is supremely confident, is very accurate, and can extend plays with his feet.

His issue in college is that he felt he needed to be Superman all the time. In SF he's just distributing and there is less pressure on him. His college accuracy has translated.

I hate invoking the Montana/Brady arguments because he's a LONG, LONG ways from being in that conversation, but he's similar in that there are some aspects of playing QB that simply can't be quantified. Often when a QB is taken late in the draft there is an assumption that "he was a late pick for a reason" and on some level thats true, but there are only a few QBs on every team so if a guy doesn't look like a superstar he can fall quite quickly into later rounds.

Brock Purdy had a pretty decent college career. I think he was overlooked because he played for a mediocre Iowa State team. But his college stats were pretty impressive.

This was another case of the measureables getting in the way of the tape. Just because he did 27 inches on the vertical jump (27 inches!), people said he's no athlete. (By comparison, Will Levis was at 34 and Richardson 40.5). He also has small hands and arms (9 1/4" and 29"). Well, it turns out he's big enough and athletic enough.

Got to hand it to Shanahan. Purdy wasn't even projected to be drafted.

 

[FrodosFinger]

Just think….. in 4 years Purdy might be as good as Stinky G if he gets the ball out quicker. That’s about the best compliment I can muster for a rookie on a stacked team didn’t have to do much but at the end of the day Trey Lance is a bust which is why the 49ers are trending downward considering all the draft capital they foolishly spent on acquiring him.

 

[Weadoption]

dude has a Blitzburg road game and TJ Watt vs Colton McKivitz to deal with come Week 1. That will be a test on many levels.
LFG!!!!!!!!!!!

He also had one of the fastest 10 yards splits as I recall...meaning quick, but not fast.

The older I get tho the less I really pay much attention to the combine. SOOOO many examples of fast guys who ran slow there and slow guys who ran fast there.

Its true tho that he's not tall, has small hands, etc and that all works against the machine of NFL Draft opinion.
