Neat. Glad he was able to avoid Tommy John.

He looks remarkably good. I notice he didn't even shy away from that high five. Good sign for Niner fans.

Im seeing him still Exhibit more mobility in the left arm.

OMG, he's a southpaw? How did I not notice that right away? All I saw was a really good QB who kept making plays.

He’s naturally Right handed. .

I'm really happy for the kid. No amount of hatred for the Niners can make me wish anything but the best for him. Clearly waiting to have the surgery was the right thing to do.

Based on that one video alone, I will say that I was wrong in predicting a longer than expected return to play scenario. If anything he looks ahead of schedule to me, and all the talk of moving Trey Lance makes a lot more sense.

So gratz to the Niners fans, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for him.

I got confused when you were talking about the mobility in his left arm. Of course he's a righty, all I needed to do was go watch one throwing clip. How does Purdy's LEFT arm come into play in this situation? Tissue donor for the right arm? Or left one wasn't injured so of course has more mobility than the right arm? Or left was just a typo?

It looked to me like hes still guarding his dominant arm A bit. If you look at him wave using both his left and right, the motion with His left seems more natural.

To @bigskydoc, what would be your prediction as to when Purdy feels comfortable enough to bring his mitt to the game in case of foul balls?

I agree. Probably a better way to put this, since the left arm is the normal comparison, is that he appears to still have restricted mobility in his right arm, as would be expected at this point in his recovery.

The fact that he didn't shy away from high fiving with the recently repaired arm is pretty remarkable. Impact like that should be fairly painful still.

If he continues on this trajectory, I see no reason he won't be throwing by training camp, though I would expect that he will be on a pretty strict "pitch count."

Let me know when he throws out the first pitch at a baseball game. Then we'll know he's really on track.

Seriously though, good to see his recovery is going well, gotta love the underdog seeing some success. You never want to see a career (especially an early one) ended by injury.

 

[SantaClaraHawk]

Even as Purdy said this, he’s adorable

Go Hawks

Also like in the video that he was talking about practicing throwing left handed in case he is ever in the same situation again. Let's hope not!

Toward the end of this vid, Brock reveals that he’s learning how to throw left handed to guys at the facility

Yeah we get it but Purdy remains of interest as an opponent and as someone in the league…which is why we have an nfl nations subforum

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Lighten up. I just hate the Niners. It's gonna' be ok. Sorry I ruined your day

 

[SantaClaraHawk]

I wonder what Hawks linebacker said ”you white, you can’t high step me.” I’m eliminating Cody Barton as a possibility. Any ideas?
