Judging by how Dallas looked today, Brock will be handing off a lot against Dallas. They looked really soft today against the Cardinals, whose run defense also looked soft.

Agreed. But I think Dallas has more cause to intensely hate the Niners over the Cardinals. It's personal for them. Nevertheless, the outcome should be the same.

We shouldn't let the cards game fool us about Dallas, they're a very talented team and have played very physical and fast. For Example, last year in the playoffs - they played great against us. Very fast and violent on their part.

Dallas has a tendency to play to their opponents caliber, which to me says a lot about the leadership (which isn't a good thing). So in other words, they may come to play big time against us cause of the recent rivalry and whats at stake (seeding).

Todays game did shed light though on their weaknesses. A lot of people have been saying to run it right at Parsons, maybe they are right? I didn't pay a ton of attention to who they were running at but they gave up a ton yards on the ground.

Shanny has said, you really don't know what you have until you get them in the build with the organization, regarding the draft picks. These days, the top prospects are coached to say and act the right way before the draft. Teams can better their odds with research and all but there's a lot of things that can go wrong.

Kyle has a relatively good hit rate with regards to QB's - relatively speaking to other coaches. He hit on Jimmy. Keep in mind, *nobody* knew what or who Jimmy was really, until he played in Kyles offense and went 5-0 in 2017. Prior to that, he was an unknown quantity, not unlike Purdy before the Miami game. Reid had his Jimmy in McNabb until - 17 years later - he hits on Patrick. So, as the saying goes, luck is sometimes spelled W.O.R.K. Kyle is supposed to be an offensive genius. Well, that is supported by the fact that he was able to luck into finding a Purdy in the 7th round. At least it didn't take Kyle 17 years to find Brock.

I wonder if there's an active purpose to supplement the top end qb with a later round prospect. Shanny and dad did the same with RG3 and then Cousins in the later round. They got Trey and then a year later got Brock in the 7th. They had an idea of Cousins and Brock, but no way he would know Brock would be this good before drafting him.

Agree 💯%, they didn't know who they got. If they *knew* what they had, they'd have picked him in the fourth round - or earlier. I believe that's the grade Brock got in the 49er pre-draft evaluations. Knowing what they know now, they would have picked him MUCH earlier, for sure. It pays to be lucky. Kyle was lucky in finding Brock, for sure.

Could you image the webzines reaction if they drafted him in the 2nd or 3rd round.

Btw we should factor in the timing component. This draft was before Treys second season. The need to draft a QB was very low.

Very true. After spending 3 first round picks on Trey, the Fanbase would revolt for spending the remainder of the of the draft capital on Brock.

But yea, Brock was basically their supposed backup QB to Trey. But they hit on a gem when they picked Brock, sort of like how Kyle hit on Kirk after picking RG3. Now whether they can keep Sam Darnold after this year, or they go with a young gun again, remains to be seen. Personally, I'd like to see QB3 be another low round pick. I like Allen, but am intrigued if lighting will strike twice and they can potentially get another gem of a rookie to take that QB3 spot.

I'm all for drafting another late round flyer every year. Just to hit the topic one more time, I think if we needed a QB and graded Purdy as a 4th we probably would have drafted him in the 3rd. We didn't so we just waited and decided that we'd take a flyer on him in the 7th vs trying to grab him as a free agent

More like, the most intriguing prospect from round 3 on if we aren't addressing other needs every year. Keep constant competition behind Brock and for potential replacement if Brock contract negotiations break down.

We have found our franchise guy and there is an argument to make about him being elite level.

Watching the Vegas game gives me that much more appreciation for Brock's pocket presence. Jimmy never had it and never will.

Deal baby toddle infant young Lord,

Thank you so much for blessing us with Dirty Purdy and relieving us of the frustration of a guy like Jimmy G and Trey Lance. We are forever grateful and look forward to all the championships you lead us to with brock at the helm. #amen.

whoops, wrong thread.

Just looking at Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, and Zach Wilson's stats - they are all horrible. These guys match the classic *big armed QB's* that everybody is looking for but the results are terrible for their respective teams. Finding a franchise QB is really more about trial and error than any sophisticated QB scouting procedure, for sure.

Steve Smith summed it up best:

Pfffff.... says the 9er Homer.

Ooofff Steve Smith couldn't have said it better

I know, it was a joke for those who don't know that Steve Smith is a real 9er fan.

That's awesome. He's a dog, he would of fit in with our current team so well. He was a stud and really good.

the amazing hidden gems we find in the late round feel so blessed after watching the jimmyg raiders
