Big one for Brock. Good defense.

Niners D will force 3 and outs which should wear down the Brown's D over time.
I'm always confused by the term, "System QB". Isn't every QB a System QB?

I guess if the QB gets the play call from the Coach, and the QB says "F That, I'm running my own play", then I guess they are no longer a System QB.

I have never understood it either.

My theory is they mean that once the play or system breaks down does the QB improvise and make plays that technically arent there.

To which we have seen BP do many times. So why then is he a "system QB"?
Again...


Because it's so good. And it's a beat down of the Cowboys

I guess a QB that goes through his reads and if nothing is there he takes a sack or throws it away would be considered working within the system. They don't try to make something happen off schedule. That is not something that describes Brock.

So fun watching balls thrown with anticipation again!

System QB just means media is giving more credit to the coach then the QB. They think Shanahan is so good at his job he can make anyone a really good QB (even though we have evidence that is not true).

Pundits have pointed out:
1. He hasn't had to win from behind when scheme fails.
2. He hasn't won it all.
3. He maybe having a hot streak that will fade. See Wentz, Kap, Foles, RG3, Jimmy, etc.
4. He hasn't seen team adversity.

All fair points. He has to sustain a high level of play to cement himself as an elite QB. Montana was labeled a system QB for years.

I'm just enjoying his play and the team wins. Don't care about labels.

Can you imagine if like Zach Wilson or Trevor Lawrence started their career out like Brock has!? They'd be crown the greatest thing since sliced bread and the next all time great.

lol I was thinking earlier about how we gave away Lance to a conference rival for peanuts and some think he's still viewed as a real talent - that's like the patriots trading mac jones to the jets for a 6th rounder and BB saying "I think Jones will be a great QB in this league but we are going in a different direction". Lmao f**k off BB, no way he would actually believe that.

I don't really care that Brock isn't getting the national love like he deserves but I prefer him with a chip on his shoulder. I don't want our team getting too much praise unless we win the SB, until then, it's us against the world!

Yeah they would be praising those guys.

It's a ot harder for a QB like Brock to convince fans that he's good. He isn't going to have a lot of wow plays where he rolls out and throws the ball 60 yards downfield or runs for a 30 yard TD. That's not his or Kyle's game. Casual fans and some reporters only see those highlight reel plays and that's what they base their opinions on.

Just as an example. I watched the Stanford-Colorado game the other night and was shocked to hear the announcer proclaim Folsom Field as the epicenter of college football. It's like he didn't realize that Colorado has lost it's last 2 games entering the contest. All he cared about was Deion.

Joe had more than is share of bad games where he threw INTs or missed an open receiver a few times. He had way more great games and they overshadowed the poor games. True greatness is usually determined by longevity. Both for players and for teams.

He consistently throws into windows inches wide and 20+ yards downfield! GAME in and GAME out. EVERY game! Unbelievable! That's one of the reasons I say he's a generational talent. The closest player I can compare him to is Stephen Curry with his three point shots. Curry has just UNREAL accuracy with those three pointers, and Brock is just *Unreal* with his pinpoint accuracy and timing with his receivers! Protect this man with *TWO* elite offensive tackles (a right and a left) or I will personally picket 4949 DeBartolo way until ShanaLynch gets those players!!!

The kid was born with it though..remember a while back when ppl were posting this?

This one has a super cheesy song to it..wth is that song about? Haha

LOL don't trash that masterpiece. It's Under Pressure the way it SHOULD have been written.
I understand system QB to be someone who can just play this type of offence, so Purdy is West Coast guy.

It's used as negative but who gives a s**t if Purdy will never be an Air Coryell QB .

What they mean is they couldn't play well in any other system. It's BS when it comes to Brock. Headwork works everywhere.

The system QB take is so lame. Jimmy was a solid quarterback, but with the same weapons, Brock has outperformed him since his first extended playing time when he was a rookie.

Jimmy's ball placement and processing/decision making are not on Purdy's level.

The longer he plays in Vegas the better Kyle looks. I was watching that last game and even the commentators mentioned his once per game interception. Dude leads the league in picks, but at least guys like Favre and Allen would give you wow plays to go along with theirs. SOOOO grateful for Purdy.

Jimmy leads the league and he's missed a game. Lmao horrible. I've watched all of jimmy's games in Vegas and it's changed my perception of him. It's made me realize that I was wrong in regards to how good he was, the system made him play at a higher level because it was protecting him. I think that's why Kyle didn't have certain plays and was more conservative with jimmy, didn't trust him and was protecting Jimmy from the mistakes he makes.

I've always liked jimmy and think he was a solid QB for us but Brock's really opened my eyes to how much Jimmy was holding this offense back and jimmys performance in Vegas has opened my eyes to how great of a coaching job kyle was doing with him.

You are finally free and clear of your addiction. Welcome, my friend... to FREEDOM and PEACE.
