We are two throws into the analysis and things have been “gnarly”. Purdy wasn’t as sharp in the beginning of the game, but JT acknowledges that and states how impressive it was for the offense to “hang tough” and turn it around after a cold start. – A play and throw JT calls “outstanding”. With 0:52 left in the 1st quarter, Purdy hits Aiyuk on a “spray glance” on first and ten that travels in the air 21 yards and gives the Niners a big chunk play to get out of their own end zone. It’s no surprise to JT that Purdy makes the play by showing great anticipation. He has a great base and perfect ball placement.
Former quarterbacks have always flooded the media markets covering the league. With social media, that presence has only increased, including plenty of former signal callers with very little success at the professional level. Dan Orlovsky is the offensive guru on ESPN’s NFL Live. Kurt Benkert has found a niche market on Twitter and Twitch. Their expertise developed from being in an NFL meeting room is worth our attention.
That includes former Niner JT O’Sullivan, who now runs The QB School. His aim is to inform viewers how the pros watch film by providing the highest level of analysis. His claims include playing in more offenses than any quarterback in the history of the league (11 organizations, although he was only ever on the active roster for four). We know Brock Purdy has been the hot topic of conversation regarding the evaluation of quarterback play recently (really the whole season). So what does JT think? He recently shared his thoughts in a near hour breakdown of Purdy’s week 14 performance that can be found here
