"He's #1 in QBR this year by a mile. He makes the right decision seemingly every snap. His TD/INT ratio is absurd and he has elite weapons all over the field.

If he was a high draft pick, there would be no question that he's on the path to stardom.

I'm honestly worried that this kid's the next Tom Brady and the whole NFL world is just whistling past the graveyard right now."

Go Niners!

Saving that comment for the spank bank. Hahah

Would be amazing if he is the next Brady - someone's gotta win 3/4 again 😏. I'm taking it one game at a time but I truly believe we stumbled onto a special player and our 20+ year hell streak is over. We have a special combo in Brock & Kyle.

after watching Johnnydels breakdown of Brock's performance - I'm even more impressed. This kid is going to be even more difficult to stop Adter every game because he's gaining more experience and understanding all the types of defenses. His recognitions, accuracy, and anticipation are ridiculously amazing.

Yah that breakdown by Johnny Del was awesome, always is. Brock almost had a perfect game, imagine that.

That comment was spot effing on didn't Brady win a Superbowl in year 2? If Brock gets us to the promise land this year and maintains this level of play going forward, the 49ers are a dynasty in the making.

Super excited about this kid. I was skeptical after last year and thought it might have been a fluke? It isn't. He's the real deal. Buckle up and enjoy the ride Niner fans.

Aiyuk is still adjusting to the fact that he has a QB who can actually put the ball in a place where only he can get it. He is learning.

such a great video by JohnnyDel - man that performance was more impressive than I realized. That was about as flawless as a performance as you can have.. let's hope he is as fine tuned for the cowboys!

im really intrigued to see how he plays the cowboys now that he's played them before and has experience against them. Brock strikes me as the type that plays teams better once he's played them before.

i wonder if he was as good as he was against that defense because of his prep for the NFCC when Gannon was the dc? It's the same system the eagles are running - so hopefully Brock is that dynamic when we play the eagles in week 13. Only difference will be the pass rush but gives me hope that we will dominate their D.

Good question.

The very encouraging thing about this game is that he was going against the same defensive patterns that he faced in the NFCCG, and he smacked them. There was never any hesitation as to where to go with the ball. He read the D and went to a good choice every time.

Bring on the Eagles. I'm sure Brock can't wait.

It's still early in the season and Brock's career but to me, he is a top 2 QB in the NFC (alongside hurts - I like Brock more as a passer than hurts but I'll give hurts the edge because of the larger sample size). I also think he's a top 7 QB in the nfl.

What we are seeing isn't a gimmick - he's playing the position at a ridiculously high level. He's in a great situation, Of course, but he's also Maximizing it - making the team better. He's adding to the team and the position is no longer a weak point.

IMO, he's teetering on that level of very good and elite. I think in order to be elite, it requires consistency. So i think he needs to continue what he's been doing but he's on his way to being a top QB in this league. If we keep getting this level of play out of him, we will be nearly unstoppable.

For those who forgot about this post, he can actually sing mean karaoke too 🙂

JT is wrong there, Brock himself described how that play went down. He saw the dbs drifting back and put the ball where only BA could get to it. He called it an opportunity throw. Jonnydel breaks it down in his video, which I highly recommend if you haven't seen it yet.

We were definitely prepared for Gannon's scheme. Kyle was busting their rules a number of times but then ARI was well prepared for us too. It wasn't like ARI didn't have a few real nice plays but Purdy was just better.

I really like J.T. but I found myself disagreeing with 2 plays in that video. The one in question and then a throw to CMC he said should've gone to Kittle. He said he couldn't quite figure out what we were trying to do on offense.
Maybe it's because I spent half the off-season combing through a guys twitter who used to work for the Eagles and he was constantly posting about Gannon's scheme and so I learned a ton about Gannon's scheme that way, but it seemed pretty straightforward from a coverage rules busting perspective.

Could also be J.T. operating under different OC"s that didn't work that way. To me, it was simple to reverse engineer.
It was a play where we ran Juice on a corner right from a tight split. That's a route simply meant to clear out the hook/curl. Gannon uses a Bronco/SCIF player that has to match any vertical down the seam. We ran a ton of seam routes this game to break that rule and get guys open underneath. By running Juice on a corner, we put their other hook/curl in a bind. Cover Kittle or CMC. He was in the MOF so we hit CMC.

First of all, thanks for the great video and work you put in. It's really appreciated by us 49er nerds.

yeah, after watching your review - I had a lot more respect for their defense. They were prepared but just out played. Which I found interesting cause I watched the cards V Dallas game and I was really impressed with their defense in that game - so I expected tougher D.

it also makes me happy that Brock was able to dice them up so well when dak really struggled. I think it's a great example of the difference between Brock and Dak - Brock is just so cerebral and prepared. He can dissect a defense and responds so quickly - dak isn't on his level in that regard.

i said it in an earlier post but dak and jimmy are the same player but different skill sets. Both solid QBs when everything is going well but you don't want the pressure of the game on them, they aren't good enough to confidently overcome it. They need everything going great in order to manage the game.

Kap wasn't crap. He had some great skills and qualities, but got waylaid and distracted.

Kaepernick seemed to have no interest in improving as a qb. He wasn't very good at reading and reacting to defenses, and he couldn't throw touch passes with much accuracy. He was more interested in building his biceps and street cred than his football skills and instincts. If he could just throw a decent fade pass, the niners have another sb trophy.

Too bad he didn't develop. Those things were fixable.
Brock is obsessed, driven to improve--to the point that he regrets an incompletion after a historical performance. Day and night

If we ever get the right side of the offensive line fixed, I would love to see Kyle ease up on using CMC and let Purdy cook. I want to see Purdy get 40+ pass attempts in a blowout. His numbers would be goofy if Shanny was more cutthroat, but I get it because he's not going to put our most important player at risk when we have a comfortable lead.

If we had better protection, maybe Shanny would punish these bad defenses more. We score 30+ a game and most times it feels like we could easily be over 40+ if we didn't let up. I want to see the kid put up a big 400+ 4+ TD day. We have the weapons to dominate poor secondaries. Find a weak link and let someone exploit the hell out of it until they adjust and then counter punch them with another superstar. With Purdy's decision making and accuracy, I think he would thrive in a passing offense if we could actually keep him clean.

I've liked him as a dude since that 2008 game against Seattle where he took 8 sacks and still managed to pull off a 33-30 win. But let's be honest here, if he knew how to read defenses better he would've had more than a 17 games played. I enjoy his videos, but I disagree with some of his conclusions.

I enjoy watching The QB Room, JT is always going to be honest and critical which is nice. But also going give praise.

My favorite parts of this video is how salty he is about Kittle not getting fantasy points for him 🤣 and how much he enjoyed Kittle ejecting the end out of the club in the only running play I've ever seen him review.

How about the people that kept track of interceptions and Near Interceptions in..... Training Camp!

Again, he who throws more near interceptions throws more real interceptions.

But I thought near INT's were subjective? So how can something subjective become more objective?

BTTs are FAR more subjective and poorly defined than near INTs. If the ball bounces off the defender's hand, most would agree that's either a near INT or something near it. But again, it isn't just that BTTs are subjective in and of themselves, it's also that the definition of one is extremely nebulous.
