Tom Brady wasn't a full time starter at Michigan.

Tom Brady started every game his last two years at Michigan. He was so good he kept Drew Henson (who was the #1 QB coming out of HS) from starting. They did give Henson snaps each game to try to keep him from transfering, but Brady ended up being to good during his senior year to bench for quarters so they stopped doing it.

WTF is Florio talkin bout, Pur-dy is damn close to Bra-dy.

Exactly, they rhyme almost lol.

Can we give the kid an entire season and post season before comparing him to Brady, or Joe or anyone else?

I just wanna get those rings already

How about 2 - 0 and 310 yards?

Usually equals winning. Exceptions do happen.

Nope, he better become great or GTFO! Lol

I've said it before but there is a different between saying Brock and Brady both had a calmness about them out there Vs Brock plays just as well as Brady. Lol one is comparing a similar trait and one is comparing a full body of work.

Brock is unusually calm and composed back there for a guy with his experience and age. No way jimmy handles the giants as well as Brock did, not with that much pressure in his face.

im not crowning Brock right now but I sure have high hopes and expectations for him. Im thrilled he is on our team. If he wins us a chip, it'll go down as one of the all time best stories.

I enjoyed kap's rise, jimmy's rise, and imma do the same with Brock. If it all collapses then so be it. Gotta enjoy the now.

He will probably win the Super Bowl and maybe more than one. He will surprise people with how good he will be as the story unfolds.

Yup. There were some great 1st or coming out games. Kap vs the Bears and Purdy vs the Fins or even the Bucs are equal to me. I forget Jimmy's first start,maybe Chicago also? He threw for a lot of yards, but I don't remember a lot of points (in Jimmy's defense, he had the worst team of the 3).

That does not surprise me at all......

Brock is going to go balls to the wall 24/7 and he has some gunslinger in him.

We have been mostly winning 50/50 balls, and Brock throws the ball before the break on the rout regularly. There is a cost to that.

I could easily see Brock trying to will the team down the field and a 50/50 ball not go his way, or throwing a pass with anticipation that the future insurance salesman can break and go it and being wrong...

We got great skill guys, Iowa State did not.
We have a great defense to lean on, Iowa State did not.
We have a great system to reign in some Impulses Brock might have, Iowa State did not.

Having said that....now think of the numerous almost turnovers the 49ers have had with all these things in Brock's favor.

Almost Turnovers don't count in football, but it does make it really believable that Brock could have been benched at Iowa State.

With any luck for us, Brock learned from it and it cost the 49ers nothing.

In 2017 jimmy was throwing to scrubs but still sparking the team to wins. Trent Taylor, Garrett celek, Goodwin, Louis Murphy, Aldrich Robinson

As long as we stay healthy (fingers crossed) & disciplined - we should be able to compete for the next 3-4 Super Bowls with our roster and talent.

i saw a crazy stat that we are one of the younger teams in the league. I don't believe we are closing our window soon - it's really just a matter of getting everyone to fit under the cap.

Let's just hope we see the team get better and better each week while stacking W's. That's all that matters right now

Nobody is saying don't enjoy it, I'm enjoying the hell out of this. Comparing him to HOFers is premature IMO, but if you wanna be let down, again, that is what folks set themselves up for when making those comparisons. Joe wasn't considered truly great until his 2nd Super Bowl vs Cincinnati. He threw THREE picks in the game that made him famous with Clark for The Catch. Brady wasn't considered great until his 3rd or 4th because Bellichick's D did all the heavy lifting. Yet here we are in 2023, people already crowning Mahomes the best to ever play, Burrows, Herbert and Allen future HOFers despite winning nothing.

Ya I just don't care, let fans get carried away if they want, it won't have any affect on what actually happens
