Purdy doesn’t have a strong arm. What he has is way more valuable. Ball placement. If he puts that ball anywhere else, Deebo gets tackled right away. That ball placement allowed him to break the tackle and run for a touchdown.

I said earlier.  It's amazing what Shanahan and Purdy can accomplish with absolutely no threat of a deep ball.

What Purdy really has is a fucking ridiculous set of skill players on O and just a stupid defense.  

Some guys have all the luck.

It’s a team sport

Yes, but he is getting them the ball exactly where they need it so that they can make the plays. That’s exactly what that offense needs.

That is an amazing point.

Yep, Purdy does it with anticipation, quick mental processing, and accuracy proving you don't have to have a cannon for an arm to be successful. Obviously, you can't be a complete noodle arm and have to be able to make the throws.

A certain Thomas Edward Brady made a career doing just that. It is an undervalued skill.

Man.  I don't think GB would be ready for either of these teams.  Not in their weight class right now.

McCaffery would have 200 yards rushing in the first half.

Speaking of McCaffery, when he was on the Panthers: Ouch, ouch, ouch my leg hurts. I need to take the year off.

On the Niners:

Dagger.

Business decision.

The Niners better bend over, 'cause it's coming.

You were saying?

Niners-Eagles is a beat down.

And SF with a seemingly endless line of really good DC's.

Look at that throw. Do you see the receivers ever contort the bodies to make the catch like they do so often with my dear Jordan Love? If Love had this type of ball placement he would be unstoppable.

Even Burkes looks good in that defense.

You wanna know why the tush push works? Compare the results from Mariota to the results from Hurts. Not every team can run it.

Idiotic to put Jalen Hurts back in this game.

Eagles RT is jumping the snap every play.

SF shoving it right up Philly's ass.

Six weeks from now when the playoffs start, however....

That was from the review of the TD pass to Aiyuk in the EZ.

In garbage time Hurts is serving up hospital balls and running into tacklers.

Like many here, I can’t stand Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers.  But I still like them better than Sirianni and the effin Eagles and their awful fans.  Enjoyed seeing the beat down today.

Purdy reminds me more of Joe Montana than Brady.  Brady had a gun for an arm and he rarely escaped the pocket.  Purdy has mobility and arm strength more like Montana.  Perfect for distributing the ball to the best set of skill position players in the NFL.

He called him 'my dear'. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Did he hurt himself putting the breaks on there?
