Good point. He was always frustrating as a DC here for that exact reason.

I think you'd be surprised what 8 less throws by Purdy does to that game. He did nothing almost all 2nd half. And he would've won the Superbowl with Atlanta if he did the same thing. He forgot to run the ball.

2. I think Shannahan has the choker label because he hasn't had an elite QB and is forced to run the ball to have success. But his play calling stye gets away from the run game too easily. Especially when it's working. SF wins last night if CMC had 30 carries (which is a lot) but Purdy wasn't doing anything unless a receiver was wide open. Purdy 38 throws is stupid! CMC was gashing them all night.

Yup. He had JAG at QB and threw the ball 38 times. He had OPOY CMC who was averaging 5.5yards per touch and they forgot about him.

And then you have a top 3 defense on the other side. It's wild how much talent they have.

They won't do it because Minnesota isn't letting him go. And SF can build that roster because Purdy is on a nothing contract. Having Kirk's salary would blow that up. Once he (Purdy) gets paid anything, that teams window is SHUT.

Spags is amazing. Doesn't get enough credit. Shut down NE with NYG 2x. And then smothered SF in the 2nd half against SF with 4 first team All-Pros on offense. Apparently by DVOA, this SF team and the 2007 NE Patriots are the 2 best teams that didn't win the super bowl. Both beat by Spags defense.

Wilks called a good game in the first 2.5 quarters. Then he started playing soft zone and Mahomes picked them apart. Changed it to heavy cover 0 and got picked apart there. I think he just played Mahomes and it's really hard to beat him. SF defense has probably the best talent in the entire league. it's an embarrassment of riches on that front 7. They lost because Shannahan put the ball in Purdy's hand too much. There was no reason for him to throw the ball 38 times. CMC should have had 10-12 more touches and SF wins. There are 10-15 other QBs that would've won that Super Bowl last night. Purdy is fine; nothing special but a solid NFL player. Nice pick for 262. But I hated him ever being in the MVP discussions. it was stupid.

I don't know. The thing that sold me on the geniousness was when he was asked a question about if he felt pressure to perform immediately and he responded with <paraphrasing here> "Is it ok to say that I'm nervous? I've been wanting a head coaching job , it's been my dream and I'm going to take it incredibly serious." It wasn't some standard coach speak BS.

Then why not try to find some of the positives in his game instead of consistently tearing him down or anybody else that supports him?

Completely untrue. WCO is what's winning in modern NFL. And I wouldn't right off his deep ball yet, OL/WR plays a huge role in that.

Are you looking up all those interceptions to bring actual facts? Or just going to troll?

TOO LATE is poor decision making and not an arm strength indicator. That LOL is not the flaunt you think it was. Now if he was Josh Allen, maybe he would've completed it. But that's a top 3 NFL arm. Most players can't do that. Including Bryce.

I don't think that's the case. I think he threw on the move pretty well, especially from his college film. We just didn't do it.

Show me one pass that was intercepted because he floated it? Only one throw was even close that I can remember and it was a pick 6 on flat that he threw too late.

He has his issues but I'll stand by it. Dude is not missing throws because he has a weak arm. He's not 37 year old Drew Brees out there. Meme is on point though.

You are right. Which is why Reich and his offense failed Bryce. And I hope Canales uses that knowledge when he is calling plays. How often did you see bootlegs or rollouts? Hardly ever. It completely opens the QBs vision. Bryce needs much more of that.

I haven't seen a single throw that was incomplete because it was too slow. That's my opinion.

I don't disagree with that. We have some common ground. But that doesn't mean he can't make your standard NFL throws. He's just not going to have the HOLY poo, LOOK AT THAT THROW type arm. Levis, Richardson, and kind of Stroud have that.

That's a result of the offense. There are literally film of him completing every type of throw. Quick out, deep out, deep in, deep post, 9 route, deep curl, slant, etc, etc. It may not have the same pop that are used to with Cam but he can throw the ball fine, even if it appears to float a little. The picks that he threw this year weren't the result of arm strength. They were bad decisions.

All I know is that Dan Quinn is last. He was carried by Kyle Shannahan and prime Matt Ryan/Julio Jones. Worst hire I've seen in a while. (now watch them win the NFC East and me look stupid)

This is how it's done. Call out trolling; ask them legitimate football questions. Make this board actual have a football IQ again.

I'm not disagreeing that it makes a difference now. He hasn't proven that he can succeed in the NFL but he has proven that he has arm strength to make any NFL throw. His size is really only a detriment when it comes to being able to see over the pocket in short routes and then the durability. Not arm velocity.

D-dave poster nailed it, it's all about the eye test. Record is mostly irrelevant in year 1. A little more so in year 2. Their needs to be noticeable competitive improvement year over year even if the wins don't come right away. Last year we were hardly competitive. And the eye test was failed horribly.

Hi Frank, I think college highlights can be presented in an argument about arm strength. Throwing the ball with velocity is the same no matter what league or competition it is. Now if you want to argue results from college are no longer relevent, OK, I see that. But his throws that went 50-60 air yards etc are still just as applicable now.
