Eric Weddle Destroys Purdy and the Ratbags...

[Merlin]

He's a white, athletic version of Ceelo Green with those short arms and tiny hands.

I just can't non-see it anymore when I look at him.

So you're saying he makes Goff's hands look big.

The Rams just saw the template for beating the Niners. KC started out playing mostly zone and it did not work. They switched to more man coverage and it was very successful. So, hopefully they can find corners that can play both man and zone effectively. Kendrick was not good at man press coverage. He's too one dimensional.

All QBs are system QBs. To say that makes no sense. Purdy plays within the confines of his playbook. Brock isn't a gunslinger like Stafford. He isn't liable to simply spray passes all over the fucking field. Too many times Stafford will say to hell with the playbook design and will throw into coverage regardless. So if not having that gunslinger mentality is being a system QB that isn't the negative that Weddle seems to imply. Purdy is still in his development stage he just finished his second year. For a second year QB he's play well.

Stafford was going nowhere in Detroit. Then he comes to LA where he's a fit for what McVay wants to do. Does that mean Stafford is a system QB?

Conversely, Goff goes to Detroit where they tailor the offense to his skillset. Suddenly he's no longer a bust but a top 10 QB. Does that mean Goff is a system QB?

IMO Purdy is like Goff, give him an offense tailored to his skill set and he should succeed in the same way Goff has. Every QB needs to be in the right system, i.e. be a scheme fit for the offense team runs. Stafford vs Goff is proof of that.

Purdy can only play within the system that Shanahan runs with the guys on the roster. To say he's "just a system QB" is basically talking out of his ass.

Shanahan's scheme makes it easier for limited quarterbacks like Purdy to succeed, but Purdy will never win the big game because he flat out doesn't have the cajones to take a hit in order to throw a perfect pass, like Warner, like Stafford; hell, like Patrick fucking Mahomes. He missed Aiyuk for touchdowns twice - including once in overtime on a third down, where he threw it away to avoid getting hit, which is fucking INEXCUSABLE. You never throw the ball away in that situation, even if you have Aaron fucking Donald bearing down on you.

He is a solid game-manager who is buoyed by the system and multiple good players, nothing more.

Bingo

Bingo. Purdy outplayed his draft position for sure. But he has more limitations than a lot of quarterbacks. He doesn't have the arm to make all throws NFL teams like to see in a quarterback. He's good with slants, throws over the middle in the 10-15 yard range. But the sideline throws are one of his weaknesses.

Old Not Dead mentioned Goff. But one thing I know is Goff has a better arm. Purdy is Garoppolo Part II. Except that Purdy's not as injury prone. He does have more talent around him than Garoppolo had. Their numbers compare pretty close to each other in the same amount of games played.

There is no doubt in my mind that when the playmakers start to decline and they can't replace them with similar talent, Purdy is gonna be looking more like Justin Fields, Geno Smith, Mitch Trubisky, etc. Stafford is the best quarterback in the division. 49ers probably win two Superbowls if they ended up with him instead of us. I'm very thankful he didn't.

 

[Classic Rams]

People are forgetting that Purdy is a rookie.

I had totally forgotten that.

Purdy is a good QB but will never achieve greatness because he simply doesn’t have the physical tools. Questionable arm strength would be exposed in most systems but the Niners system is tailored for him. Just as Weddle said the Niners scheme him into good situations and against man coverage but he doesn’t have the arm to throw outside the numbers or deep so defensively if you take away the middle of the field he’s limited. Niners players and coaches praise him for good reason as after the Lance fiasco he virtually saved their ass. He’s been in the league 2 years now and is under contract very cheap for another two. It’s going be interesting how willing the Niners are interested in giving him franchise QB type money coming up in the next few seasons. If they do they will essentially repeating the Jimmy G. Experience.

It's not just the physical tools. You ask what any great quarterback has, and it's not just time in the pocket, or even physical or mental apitude, but the willingness to throw to an open receiver, make a beautiful ball, even if someone's bearing down on you.

Twice, I saw Purdy miss an open Aiyuk for a touchdown: once in the second quarter; the second in overtime on third down in the redzone. In that situation, there is NO exucse to bail and throw it away. Chris Jones may have been bearing down on him in overtime, and Bolton, who is one of the hardest hitting linebackers in the NFL may have been bearing down on him on the second quarter deep ball to Aiyuk, but the great quarterbacks stand in the pocket, take the hit, and get the touchdown that wins the game. Warner, Stafford, Mahomes, Peyton Manning, even fucking Tom Bitchy Brady take those hits and throw the touchdown.

That's why they're winners, and why Purdy will always be a bridesmaid and not a bride.

Missing passes is done by all QBs. Hell Stafford missed a wide open Jefferson in the endzone in the Super Bowl. Purdy was a second year 7th round QB. His performance to date has been impressive. As Ram fans, we want to be dismissive of the 49er players. But when even proven NFL players are impressed by Purdy then that can't be dismissed.

Would you believe Steve Young? His assessment of Purdy is that he can be more than what you see him playing within Shanahan's system. Can Purdy win a SB? In Steve Young's opinion, there is no question he can even with a lesser team. Talent is talent and the guy is still developing.

The Ram's primary foe has a legit QB in Purdy who is on the rise in his career. There is no question that Stafford is on the downside of his career. IMO this year will be Stafford's best opportunity to win a second ring.

Shanahan lost that game not Purdy. Calling Purdy a game manager QB in a disparaging manner is wrong. All QBs are game managers, they have to be. When Stafford goes off script suddenly it's 50/50 and look at all the turnovers he throws. People ignore that. When Stafford plays within the scope of McVay's system he's suddenly looking like he's at the top of his game. If the throw isn't there don't force it....when Stafford plays that way he's being smart, when Purdy does it he's being a game manager.

All I'm saying is that it would be wrong to not think Purdy can be a dangerous foe. Don't sleep on him or you will get burned. Give him the respect he's earned and beat him. To think of him as a lesser opponent simply devalues any win by the Rams vs the Niners. Forget his draft position it's irrelevant. The Niners are like a rattlesnake. Something not to take lightly, but not to be feared.

Garapollo might have done better if he had CMC. Purdy has elite talent all around him.

Not saying he can't win because the whiners easily could have won SB 58. But he didn't and it's a reflection on rat boy, IMO.

Well if you look at contracts & what a player means to the team ? Purdy gets to much blame.

—The NINER’s win easily if your Boy CMC doesn’t fumble in the first quarter putting the NINER’s up 14-0. Good luck Mahomes.

In a weird way I actually feel sorry for RatBoy !! He has to sit next to John Lynch every press conference.I wonder if he guides him to the restroom with that smirk or smile of his.He looks better with a helmet in. I do HATE home though over the years. He finally won one with Tampa. Wasn’t Mcvay or Demoff(Raheem) there back then ? Have to add some Ram Flakes to it. The RIVALRY is better than ever if The Rams can BEAT Them DOWN in 2024. The schedule could actually have The Rams beating them 3 TIMES in 2024 ?
