QBs having idiosyncratic tendencies is nothing new. I’m not saying anything extraordinary.
Teams don’t game plan for generic offensive styles, they game plan players…we complain about it after every Niner game: why are they letting Jimmy throw quick and over the middle and not forcing him to throw deep and beyond the numbers?
Do you know what balls Purdy throws well and what he struggles with? I don’t. I bet a lot of D coordinators are learning it right now. Does he have a full arsenal of throws like Mahomes, Brady (in olden times), and Stafford? Who knows but the Niners’ O staff.
Shanahan is a master of hiding his QBs’ weaknesses. But when defenses stop their run game, when they slow down their ball control passing game, and build a lead against the Niners, then their QBs typically do not put the team on their shoulders.
Hey, it would be legend for that hated franchise to go Cinderella Story and win an SB.
But not all teams have a sucky offense like Tampa, Seattle, or an offense that Shanahan knows (Miami), so going against Philly, or the Cowboys or the Vikings, or the Chiefs or Bills in the SB, is a completely different game.
Force Purdy to step up by scoring points. That’s how you measure how good he is.
So they game plan for players, specifically a QBs' skill set, yet still allow JG to throw where he excels? So much so they've beaten us how many in a row???
