Brock Purdy is a gamer. We've seen him play for a season and a half and we know he's a terrific quarterback. There's no question about it. Plus he's a perfect schematic and financial fit on the 49ers. And yet he's not a great 'practice player.'
We've seen him play for a season and a half and we know he's a terrific quarterback. There's no question about it. Plus he's a perfect schematic and financial fit on the 49ers. And yet he's not a great "practice player." In fact, he tends to throw lots of interceptions in training camp, including seven in the past two practices. Why?First, he tries things in practice that he wouldn't necessarily attempt in real games.
Finally, the 49ers don't game plan for practices and every quarterback benefits from a good game plan. Plus Kyle Shanahan is one of the best at scripting the first 25 plays of a game. So Purdy is working from a deficit in practice where he rarely gets to work with his full supporting cast. Someone almost always has the day off.
But Trent Williams and Brandon Aiyuk haven't practiced yet this offseason. So instead of having six All Pros around him, Purdy has four -- Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey and Kyle Juszczyk. And Purdy doesn't play as well when he has less than five or six All Pros at his disposal.
