Brock Purdy concerns after preseason?

could the Rams capitalize on the 49ers early season struggles with key players like Trent Williams holding out Christian mcaffrey sidelined and Brock pie battling turnovers this week three Clash might be more unpredictable than ever how will the 49ers setbacks shape this high stakes matchup stay tuned to find out the Los Angeles Rams are set to take on the San Francisco 49ers in week three of the upcoming regular season as highlighted by Turf show times the 49ers are currently dealing with significant challenges during training camp and the preseason which could potentially tip this early season matchup in favor of the Rams Trent Williams arguably the NFL's top tackle is still holding out of practices as he seeks a revised contract meanwhile RB Christian mcaffrey has been sidelined with a soft tissue injury WR Brandon a had previously requested a trade with speculation linking him to the Pittsburgh Steelers or Cleveland Brown but the latest reports suggest he's more likely to resign with San Francisco despite all that there's still a lot of uncertainty around quarterback Brock P's Readiness for 2024 earlier in Camp I mentioned that the third-year quarterback has been struggling with interceptions the 49ers regular beat reporters have shared their own takes on this it's true that the team hasn't had their usual core players together in practice due to injuries and cont contract issues practice is also a time for experimenting and pushing boundaries which I understand and respect but P's short stint this past weekend in San Francisco's preseason game against the New Orleans Saints added more smoke whether there's a true fire underneath remains to be seen pie dropped back only seven times against New Orleans he was pressured five times including a sack on another pass he was hit as he was thrown which could be attribut to an average time to throw of 4.06 seconds pie threw away one of his six attempts the 49ers pass protection is a concern but even more concerning is the fact that Pro Football Focus PFF credited perie with a turnover worthy play on a throw that harmlessly fell incomplete for San Francisco the quarterback's offensive grade was just 29.2 against the Saints for those who'd say these preseason reps are meaningless especially considering that pie was on the field without mcaffrey iuk Williams and Ricky peera I'd counter by asking why he was on the field at all what did the 49ers hope to get out of these seven dropbacks and was that goal met in this appearance if San Francisco felt it was important enough to get pry a dress rehearsal we should not handwave away this outing just because it wasn't pretty you should never underestimate a team like the 49ers with a roster consistently built to compete for a championship every year while they frequently fall just short of winning the Super Bowl they are always in the conversation however if perie continues to struggle with turnovers and regresses to his Mall IR relevant status the offensive line falters in pass protection contract disputes with akak and Williams drag on and injuries start piling up or if some combination of these challenges occurs at what point should the 49ers concern escalate to Defcon won if Pie plays hero ball this season he'll struggle he needs to continue to play the way he has the past two years Brock pie is a talented quarterback going through a tough training camp he's been throwing nearly an interception per day due to questionable decisions and forcing passes that he likely wouldn't attempt in games when asked about the interceptions pie explained that he's testing his limits to understand what he can and can't do the idea is that by making mistakes in practice he'll avoid repeating them in games a sensible approach but then he played against the Saints in a preseason game on Sunday and made the same mistakes he had been making in Camp namely he forced passes into tight coverage and almost got intercepted he threw one pass across the field that tight end Eric sabert had to knock down like a defensive back just so it wouldn't get picked off to be fair pie played without all but two starters on offense and those starters were Jake brindle and Colton mckivitz and Kyle Shanahan didn't call plays and the Saints played their starters on defense so he was set up to fail thanks for
