Weren't you disparaging of Brock just a few weeks ago?

I've never been "disparaging" of Brock in my life. I've never really questioned that he's good, though when compared to the over-the-top praise he gets here, then sure. I don't think I'd call him a top 5 NFL QB yet and I don't think he should be the MVP (going by the precedent set by the NFL the last decade he probably should be as he's more deserving than Dak or Lamar or any other QB this season). He's definitely good and he's statistically having one of the most efficient seasons a QB has ever had. I give a lot more credit for that to his supporting cast than most others here do, but Brock still deserves a ton of credit and he's far better than Jimmy was.

typical social media desperation move

this is same reason why nick wright does it, bcz he has a big platform and wants to be the only guy screaming something different

like kanye says, negative attention is still attention


If Cam had a little more game changer in his game he'd still be in the NFL rather than having been washed at 30.

If Cam was able to manage the game better he wouldn't be dressing like a colorblind hobo talking crazy dumb s**t for click like the hot-take clown he is.

Lol, what praise has been over the top? Dude has arguably the best start to a career in NFL history, which has proven those heaping early praise correct. Those that have waxed indignant and tried to pour cold water on that praise have looked foolish with every passing week. You were quite active in that regard when things weren't going well. But Pepperidge Farm remembers.

About the best discussion concerning Brock I have listened to. Thanks for sharing. Louis hit nail on the head, especially the point of "if he were a top 10 pick."

I think the MAJOR confusion on this stems from 2 different discussions that are being combined into 1:

1) Is Brock Purdy an "Elite" QB?

and

2) Should Brock Purdy be the current MVP frontrunner?

On #1: "We don't know yet." He certainly "looks like one" in this current offense and with these current weapons. But answering that question for him and for every other young player takes a little more longevity and larger "sample sizes" as people call them. I remember Mahomes was doing crazy-good stuff as a young QB and I wasn't ready to anoint him either until he was doing it in different situations and in multiple seasons.

On #2: "Yes." Tyrique Hill's extended absence his last game has hurt his 2,000-yard season possibility just a bit,...and what Brock has done thus far is ahead of all the other QBs.

Cam feels like MVP candidates should be stripped of their right to earning a possible MVP award based on someone's own opinion of a player. That's what we call inherent bias,...and it just means you shouldn't be allowed to cast a vote because you really don't know or understand the criteria.

You can not believe in Brock (if you want) and still respect what he's done this season at the same time. For an ex-QB that wants back into the league, however, one can understand him feeling like he'd do just as good with our weapons and hating a bit.

When he faces the reality that his career really is over, he'll soften up a bit.

I think it's over the top to call any player with just 17 or so starts the next Montana or Brady and I don't think it's ever foolish to take a wait and see approach.

Dang, those throws! Bad Jimmy and Good Purdy!

I remember the overthrow to Emmanuel Sanders in the🏆game. Brock would have hit him, based on all the throws in that clip. 2022 Superbowl Eagles vs Patrick, I think Brock could have beaten him based on those Brock Purdy throws, if Brock didn't get injured in the NFCCG. (we would have beaten the Eagles in the NFCCG last year, based on how the 49ers did this year against the Eagles)

That's just *your opinion* just as the word *impossible* is just another opinion.

It is just my opinion. Not claiming otherwise.

You're building a strawman. Few called him the next anybody. Most people just noted that he was playing at an elite level. I, for example, said he was playing like prime Montana, something he has continued to do since I made that statement. There's nothing in there about proclaiming him someone and a wait and see approach is still part of that equation. You, on the other hand, were never advocating a measured approach, but rather finding ways to portray his play as not as good as it was in reality. This is why you were so much more active in this thread when he had some struggles. We can certainly check the receipts.
Avg Game Mngr? Lol

Is he elite? Yep
Should he be MVP? Yep
Am I giving too much praise? Not enough
Would BP have a ring already if not for that a*****e? Yep
Am I a homer? No, if ya know, ya know
Is he the next great qb? He is right now. And if ya don't believe it, you will.

But wait..I am not saying he is the guy..yet. I cannot say he is really the one and crown the guy, please do not misunderstand.

Don't act like you don't know what you're doing when you say things like that. When names like Montana and Brady and Brees are invoked in comparisons it's always done to bring to mind their career accomplishments. To me, it's cheap to make those comparisons so early on when those names only mean anything due to accomplishments achieved over 1-2 decade long careers.

Chance knows what's up
BP first reminded me of Young last year, then Brees. But ppl freaked out..what about deep balls? What about arm strength? . I was like what about you watch and see the greatness unfold:)

Cam had one of the best seasons you have ever seen out of a QB. I couldn't be happier with Brock but let's pump the brakes.

Cam is always gonna be that guy who made the business decision in the Superbowl. Known more for dressing like a clown than being some great player. If Cam was a better game manager, he wouldn't be a washed up, washed out joke slinging hot takes trying to boost his podcast.

Wait, aren't you the guy who was trying to convince everyone that Trey was the best qb on the roster?

Maybe it does in your mind, but that's not the literal meaning of the words. If you want to project onto statements things that are not said, that's your prerogative. The reason greats are invoked is because that's who he's played like over a pretty sizable stretch of games, even breaking 49ers records set by the likes of greats like Montana and Young for example. Maybe you only think it acceptable to say something along the lines like, "Brock has been playing like 2012 playoff Flacco," even though no one would blink an eye if someone were to say 2012 playoff Flacco played like Joe Montana. Literally no one thinks that means Flacco = Montana.
