It was very surreal. Very happy for the guy
49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1
- Thread starter guitarchitect7
- Start date
Watching had the same thought while letting little JM stay up watch him come in at the end. Legit, vibes like:
I was waiting for someone here to stroke out when the Niners went empty set on the goal line.
Not sure what the niners will do. It seems crazy to me that they don't have a better veteran QB on the roster to backup Lance if need be. They must be really confident that Lance is the real deal and can start and be an effective QB for them all season.
Regardless, seems like as good a spot as any for Brock to earn himself a shot.

Some of Brock’s post game interview.
I’m a big 49ers fan, and for what it’s worth, everything I’ve seen and heard has the coaches and front office pretty high on Brock. I think as long as he doesn’t have a self destruct moment in the preseason (that doesn’t mean throw no picks, I’m sure coaches will intentionally put guys like him in specific game situations to see how they react) I wouldn’t be shocked to see them invest in him a little and keep him on the roster (obviously dependent on Jimmy G’s future). I think they see him as someone that can develop into a good backup.
Allright! We expect regular reports on Purdy then, hopefully as he remains with the team (top 3?).
Are there any plans by the 49ers to trade Jimmy G? Prolly too early to say, huh? I'd say if Lance takes a big step and becomes the starter, plays reasonably well, I can see them trying to bait some team with Jimmy.
The goal was always to trade Jimmy. There’s no takers for him.
Maybe the Browns depending on the Watson appeal, or the Jets with Wilson’s injury.
Really cool to watch Purdy last night, very happy for him. His first pass was a little underthrown, but other than that, I thought he looked great.
I'm not a nicer fan, hardly an nfl fan. I already bought one.
Makes me feel like a proud dad…
Glad to see him lead that game winning TD drive but some people need yo check their expectations.
That first pass was extremely lucky it wasn't taken back for a pick 6. The reciever was wide open and by the time the ball finally got there the defender was all over it. Throwing up wounded ducks on routine throws won't last very long in that league.
That being said, it was his first NFL action. I could see him making the practice squad and maybe getting a shot at a backup role in year 2 or 3.

I get the feeling that he's well liked and cheered on from his teammates which is no surprise.
