We're talking about the longest non-kicker NFL career. You're comparing a player who missed one season with an ACL injury and 4 games in another in 22 NFL seasons with a guy who couldn't survive 7 games.
It's somewhat ok to mention Young and Montana when discussing Purdy because same team and all, but starting to bring up Brady, Rodgers and Brees is just completely *choose_your_own_adjective*.
Let Purdy survive and throw for two consecutive 30+ TD NFL seasons (and don't forget that Garcia had only 16 game seasons) before even thinking about calling him the best Niner QB since Young. Right now he hasn't even proven that he's better than Kaep.
That said, he's proven that he's an overall better QB than Jimmy when the team is stacked and the team isn't more than 1 score behind. How he performs without the NFL's (arguably) best squad of skill position players, the NFL's top defense and down 2+ scores we don't know.
I don't think anyone, at least in their right mind, Is saying that Brock is as good as Brady/montana/Bree's/Rodgers etc.
it's one thing to say that someone is as overall as those players and it's another to say that someone has specific qualities. It would be no different than saying "Brock's hair style reminds me of Brady's hair style". - you're just taking one aspect of what makes up his looks and saying that piece reminds you, not that Brock looks physically identical to Brady. Just the hair.
All some have said is that Brock's play style is similar to Bree's or that he has Great mental makeup like Brady did etc. i don't think it means anyone here believes that it makes them as good as those players, it's just exciting with a player has qualities that reminds them of some of the best to do it.
idk why people get so weirded out by small comparisons. Lol I think it's better to have qualities like the greats displayed than not. Brock hasnt played much but when he has, he literally couldn't do more. He's played great and done things no one has ever done this early in their career. He still has a lot he can improve upon but he's been as great of a young player as you can ask to start their career.
