In retrospect, losing Stafford to the Rams got Kyle all emo, so went big in the draft for younger big arm talent in Lance that had a bit of taste in a prostyle offense albeit inexperienced. But the timing was all wrong. There's no way a young prospect can drive a SB within 1-2 years of development. The expectation was a bit unrealistic. And everything had to go almost perfect, which it was not. Injuries to Lance killed it. Thank goodness the football god smiles upon Kyle's lame attempt, and sent him the Real Deal Brock Purdy. Blew his wad with 3 first round picks, and soothed by getting Brock last pick of the draft.
So now we're right on track since Brock came in last year.
Brock is unreal as a rookie. To me he's worth 3 first round picks. Not the chump change ones either (two of those three first rounders for Trey) were somewhere in the 29th pick. As rookie stats go - that's elite level performance for a rookie. 7th round is the new 5ht round - Brayden Willis, Ronnie Bell, and Jalen Graham all made the team. Who knows if they are going to be let go next year or be the next gold jacket guy. We shall see.
With regards to QB assessment - Jimmy was a nobody in 2017, and here comes Kyle getting him for a 2nd rounder. He takes us to the super bowl and multiple NFC championships. To me that's first round talent there for a 2nd round pick. Brandon Allen looks like another find for Kyle. I'm confident Sam will amount to something as long as he stays and gets accustomed to Kyle's offense. Well see if he sticks around more than one year. BeatHard and Mullens are still in the NFL, so that's saying something with regards to Kyle's ability to develop QB's.
I think Kyle like most exceptional offensive minds in the game, is victim to his only coaching abilities. They tend to think they can create effective offense by teaching those 11 guys that may not be all world talent. On some level it's true. We see almost all his QBs effective playing the position. But at some point he needs to find that Guy to get over the top. Like Walsh with Montana. Belichick with Brady. McVay with Stafford.
I think he finally found one in Brock. And part of the reason he let Lance go without fuss. When he said Brock is the real deal, to me it means Brock didn't luck into those wins last year, or that he was carried by the team. Brock earned those wins, and earned Kyle's trust, be that guy for him this year and hopefully future years.
Agree 💯%, that Brock was a big part of the reason for letting Trey Go. Zero interceptions in the playoffs as a rookie. eight straight wins. mostly against playoff caliber teams. The team dominated some of these playoff teams with Purdy as QB. Won in Seattle, on Seattle Turf without practicing and broken ribs! Beat Tom Brady as a rookie, no rookie has done that - *Ever!*
I swear, if Kyle doesn't invest a gobbsmakin' ton of draft capital on the offensive line next year, I'll... heck, I don't know what I'd do but I'll let Kyle and company know somehow - that would be the stupidest most idiotic move in the history of NFL football. They have to protect Brock, or Kyle deserves to be fired if Brock gets seriously injured again.
