I said he looked terrible.  Absolutely terrible.  I didn't say he was a bust.  I was saying he look terrible.  Compare him to Purdy who has been with the team less than a year and look 1000% better than Lance.

oof

 

there are other examples of you showing your ass but I think you get the point

Hmm what all rookies have played?  I know WIllis played one game, Pickett has played several but can't stay healthy, Howell hasn't played, Corral hasn't played, Ridder hasn't played but will this weekend....  Am I missing some others?

Skylar Thompson and Bailey Zappe are the only other two I can think of.  Skylar played a little when Tua and Teddy were injured but didn't look great (although he was one of those Preseason Superstars), but Zappe performed pretty well in his 2 starts.  Statistically, him and Purdy are remarkably close across the board on most stats and have played roughly the same number of snaps (210 for Purdy, 207 for Zappe).

Brass judgement?  Purdy had almost as many completed passes in a row than Lance had the whole game.  Lance also had Samuel in the line-up.  

You and @mrcompletely11 make all these excuses why Lance looked so bad but discount Purdy's performance as JAG behind a great coach.  Why's that?

Are you just trying to go in a damn circle?  I gave several reason why Lance could have struggled vs Purdy in game 1.  He also may take longer to develop.  There are thousands of variables for trying to compare young QBs after their first few starts.  Teddy Bridgewater looked better than Peyton Manning, John Elway, and Troy Aikman in his first few starts.  Do you think Teddy was a better QB?

It is extremely brass and ignorant to call a QB a bust after 1 game.  What part of that can you not grasp?  When did I say Purdy is a "JAG"?  Are you just making things up?  I'm not saying Lance is better than Purdy, I am saying it is most definitely TBD at this point in their young careers.  Purdy could have that "it" factor and Lance could never figure it out.  There is no telling at this point...

But it's really not apples to apples. Purdy had substantially more practical experience than Lance. Lance is more physically gifted and had more perceptible traits, but he has a certain amount of rawness--more than most because of his collegiate career arc. Now with the injuries further stunting his development, Purdy may have passed him not only on the curve of development, but also the curve of expectations. Purdy has at least muddied the water. I wouldn't count out Lance just yet though. QBs develop at their own pace if given the opportunity. The problem, at least in my mind, is that NFL types are indoctrinated in the mindset that higher picks are always better and more deserving than the lower round projects. In addition to that line of thinking is that no one wants to be patient anymore. So there are the preconceived notions and a lack of patience, and unfortunately this leads to a lot of wasted talent missed opportunities. The guys farther down the totem pole have to work harder, be ready, and sometimes be lucky--including being drafted by the right team in the right situation--in order to succeed.

 

Fair enough.  What gets me is the double standard.  Lance gets all the he's developing love while Purdy gets it's only because he's playing in a good system.

Maybe it's both, maybe not.

The whole point of this thread is wishful thinking. OP literally wanted it to happen and others resonate with his opinion. Again, wishful thinking, something that did not and will never happen. It's an issue that this board has for whatever reason. 

Wishful thinking is more about thinking something that you do that is not likely can affect your future positively. I think the OP was more just simply wishing based upon what's already happened. Purdy obviously is a 49er, and that's likely where he'll be at least for the next few years.

@mrcompletely11already quoted you saying it.  Just scroll up page 5....  Man it's getting bad....

again, this is the level of intelligence we are dealing with here, there are numerous other examples and he is just digging in

 

He literally called lance a bust after one game.   And he is ranting about us making excuses.  Its good for a laugh on friday morning

I think if he were here in Carolina he wouldn’t be what he is now. We’ll see if he can keep this momentum. Five weeks is usually about where you can tell if a dude is getting it or not. 

You nailed it.  I personally think Kyle S is one of the better offensive minds in the game as well.  Looking at the NFC the 49ers are as good as anyone and maybe the best team

      So what's the plan with Moton?

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      With all the money invested in the offensive line, we really need to hit on some Round 1-3 picks.  We could really use a star receiver or pass rusher on a rookie contract for a few years.

      Bryce QB School Week 12

      By strato · Posted

      I understand everyone being happy but let's try not to turn it into another schoolgirl crush festival. No offense. It isn't slower WRs that cause wild overthrows. They have all kinds of practice. It is his mechanics keeping things under control that allows a more efficient conversion of energy, let's call it, into the throw, that we are seeing.  He was doing it with horrible mechanics and needing to put 100% effort to get the ball that far. That totally fugs your accuracy. There is video of Mahomes and Carr on this site that I have linked with them throwing under control vs all out trying to get the most velocity on a radar gun. It shows exactly what I am saying. I didn't make it up. I have been telling y'all for a year at least. It really is all about the margins with Young and he has to be very attentive to his technique to get the most from what he has. He is doing that now and this is the new 'what he can do'. And this is it, there ain't no more. You decide if that's enough for you I guess. But you are noticing better ball flight and zip I am pretty sure, it comes from there. Again go look at the Buffalo drive in preseason and you will see that same thing you see lately. To do that stuff you have to be willing to stand tall come what may, sometimes. Hopefully you have protection to step up safely but the difference making happens when you stand in there and finish just ahead of a hit.  ..... And btw, the straw that broke the camel's back when Tepper fired Reich, was because he couldn't fix it in a week. One of the last issues that I remember was about Young's footwork. You know, I guess it is normal that 10 weeks into the season someone just realized, or finally accepted, that Young had major fundamentals issues. It took them a lot longer to realize it isn't an overnight fix. And my issues with Young were specifically over this stuff. Major rehab job, you don't pay what we paid for that. Hopefully he is 'fixed' and it 'took' and he doesn't go back into his little safe space of the old mechanics like he did week 1. If he hangs with the new, this is what you are working wth now. We just saw his ceiling.
