Gotta love it. I knew the Niners would come back to earth this year. Yeah, they are a very good team but they have been lucky and the recipient of bias officiating. Purdy's inexperience is also showing. He's a very good passer out to 20 yards but beyond that his throws lack the velocity and accuracy to be consistently good.
You can win with a QB who is very good out to 20 yds with his arm but it has to be in the right system. They are blaming the wrong cleats on Purdy's shoes.....couldn't change them? Purdy will be a good tier 2 QB but he's hardly elite, especially at this point. He needs to do a lot of physical training in the same way Drew Brees did. He got it outside the NFL at a training center in San Diego. Many players must go outside the organization to train to take the next step. If they don't their ceiling is lower than it might be.
The Rams didn't lose ground this week. If they win the next two like I think they can then they will be back on track. This first half is the worst part of their schedule. If they go into the bye up by one I see them finishing at least at 10-7 or even 11-6. This playoff run isn't done yet.
