Can Purdy take them all the way?
How would Joe like to play for this Niner team
The REAL Goat!
Tom's Great! but I think Brock can be Tom 2.0 if a good portion of things break Brock's way.
As a comparison, I like Montana more than Brady as a comp for Brock. The calm processing that Purdy has is what Montana had from the beginning.
Being on the West Coast, I didn't see many of Brady's early games so I can't say authoritatively that Brady had Brock's processing speed from the beginning, but I did see Montana as he developed and he had what Purdy has. Consequently, for me, the only comp between Brady and Brock is the late draft pick. Otherwise, this is a San Francisco story.
Joe and Tom for sure are generational talents, and I think Purdy has the potential for a career like Tom and Joe. His elite processing definitely is Joe-esque and Tom-esque. The only thing now is for Brock to win at the highest levels. Regular season games is another level from pre-season games. Playoff games are another level from regular season games. The fastest and most intense games are at the NFC Championship and ultimately the Super Bowl levels. The difference between the winner and loser in the highest level games is generally *one play.*
A team and all players, to win a super bowl, have to play pretty much perfectly or they will lose.
Example the goal line stand in 1981, by Hacksaw and the defense. That was played perfectly. One mistake there and it's a Bengal win.
