QB Brock Purdy Thread

Put me down with the crew that isn't that big on Brock being MVP. He's got plenty enough to worry about as is. Let him keep focused on playoff Ws, a 1st rd bye, NFCCG, SB Wins, and basically, just being fortunate enough as a rook to end up the QB on the NFL's best team. I bet MVP is NOT what Brock is focused on, exactly for the reasons mentioned above.

Also, Brock as MVP for basically just 1 1/4 seasons, despite his superb play, vs other guys having a tremendous yr PLUS they have proven themselves before, some for a number of yrs. Tyrek and McCaff are two that come to mind. We have 5 , or is it 7 all pros, including Trent, Bosa, CMC, Deebo, Fredie, et al. I discount the thot that Brock is thinking MVP because he has shown us that he is the kind of guy, much like Joe, who focuses on what is in front of him and what he is going to do about it…simply put, he is focused only on the next game, and puts his all into that.

Brock is not Joe. Joe is LEGEND and always will be. But Brock is one of those rare ones, particularly coming from where he was drafted, that is very capable of becoming his own legend. To date, he has built the kind of record , shown the kind of leadership, that those rare guys possess. I think Brock will make his own Legend, but not in Joe's mode. Joe was one of a kind and that is 40 yrs ago. I believe Brock will be one of those rarities. Sure, as Iv'e mentioned before, he has the Joe-like coolness. He has the same quickness to read a D. Already he has been throwing before the WRs breaks. He isn't a running QB, but given the right circumstance, he will run and he is great at it. He has the dink and dunk accuracy that Joe had, the great reads like Joe, but Brock has got one helluva long game too. His near 50% completions on balls traveling 35-45 yards is phenomenal. He is , like Joe, low key, and never is a smart azz showboat. He is reserved, understands he is surrounded by greatness in both players and coaches, and is about as even keeled as you could be and still play QB. Joe was my all time hero with GOAT Walsh and Jerry.

Brock will get there, but on his own , altho he does have some of the really necessary attributes like Joe. All he needs is multiple playoff Ws, SB Ws, and time. He was incredible when he first started, but he has grown into becoming a MVP candidate type QB, on America's best team. Give him time and with good health and luck, he'll make his own legend. He's got a helluva great start.

I agree.

Totally think he has the #s to win it.

I am just bored of the whole narrative.

I want to watch them win a superbowl. Awards mean nothing to me.

Agree 💯% with both, and I'll just add that I think Brock's arm is stronger than Joe's, and very comparable to Steve's. That's why is long ball stats are so astounding.

Isn't the nfl mvp announced right before the Super Bowl? Or is it after?

i don't want him to know if he won it before the big game, assuming we make it.

id love for dak to get it and just blow against us in the playoffs though. Hahaha

I have no issues at all with the way Brock has played. Comparisons with Montana in style of play are appropriate but actual comparisons will always be impossible. Different era with different rules. Playing QB is much easier now because they know they aren't going to get pummeled like they used to. It's not surprising that all NFL QBs now complete over 60% of their passes with the better ones around 68% or more. In Joe's era there were very few that completed over 60%.

This is something I have a problem with. TV announcers and fans are always trying to compare players in sports with players from different eras. Basketball has changed mainly because of the 3 point shot. Baseball now has universal DH and pitchers are expected to throw hard h for 4 or 5 innings instead of going the distance. Football rules have changed more than any other sport. Defensive players now play with kid gloves. Receivers wear fly paper gloves and run 4.3 40 times.

I prefer to compare players to other guys he plays against. Brock is as good as any QB in the league right now and better than most of them.

Football has changed, but it's still blocking, tackling, running and catching. Even though Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile in 1954 it's still a standard in today's sports. So Joe and Steve set historical standards, that are Today's floor with regards to today's athletes. That doesn't mean they are meaningless. Calculus was a new development (in a sense) in the 17th century, and now it's a standard floor for a lot of students going on to university. These are important standards to gauge excellence and performance in today's measurements.

Ha! I'd love for Brock to win *every* dang MVP he can get. Cam can take a flying leap into a frozen lake for all I care about his opinions. 😮

I remember when Montana was drafted. It took him a couple seasons to become the Joe we love today. But it was magic and the closest we've been since that time is how Brock has taken his opportunities and played his heart out. I know Steve was a great player, but my heart belonged to Joe. Purdy isn't Joe, but there are so many echoes of Joe in his play. I can't wait to see Brock Purdy become who he is going to be and I can't believe he is our QB. It's like lightning in a bottle. One of the best things I've seen about Brock is his ability to learn and grow. I remember last year the spin move we saw in nearly every game. When Brock felt like he was in trouble in the pocket, he spun out and ran to have an open lane to throw. I kept thinking, someone is going to nail him from behind and it will either kill him or cause a turnover. I don't think I've seen Brock do that once this year. It's like that move has been erased from his mental playbook. Which means thousands of reps to create new patterns. That is what gives me hope that we have our franchise guy and that we get the opportunity to watch Brock grow as our QB. Like they are saying, he is him.

There will never be QB for the Niners as good as Joe. Brock will be our next HOF QB if he keeps doing what he does and wins Superbowls. MVPs and All Pro nods will come if he keeps balling and we are grateful to have him on our team. Brock is focused on winning the team awards such as NFC and Superbowl championships, team awards. He can care less about all the other BS, which is why he will be great. Plays with that chip on his shoulders.

I think last year when he spun out of the pocket, it doesn't look like he has a plan. He still does it this year sometimes, but seems to know somewhat what to expect, where his guys might be downfield. When he decides to run there's a purpose to it. He's not a chicken trynna avoid getting his head cut off.

Yeah I want all the 49er players to stack individual awards and the super bowl. I want it all. Lol I mainly want the super bowl though, don't care about the other stuff if we aren't in the chip

The mile run is still a run. They didn't change the rules or the way it is timed. Track surfaces are better but that's about it. Football rules have changed so much that 60% completion is rather low now. Joe's records and Steves numbers will probably be broken. Teams pass way more now and DBs can't knock guys down when they come across the middle. One record that Joe has that will probably never be challenged. Eleven TD passes and no NTs in 4 SB appearances. Can't get more perfect than perfect.

Super Bowl MVP would mean more than regular season MVP. NFL players for 2 things. Money and championships.

That's a good post and agree with you. I'm sure Purdy will be around for years and make his own legacy. And I will enjoy watching him play. So far he is doing great and he is still learning. Anyway good post Go Niners!!!!!!!

Brock will be our next legend. I think we win 3 or 4 with him, as long as he stays healthy. This team has been tremendous at drafting, developing, UDFA signings, Vet signings etc.

a great coach with a potentially great qb, while having a talented roster - is the recipe for sustained greatness. We are at least set up to compete for the next 4-5 Super Bowls

We're almost afraid to compare Brock to Montana in any way because of the blowback. But the more I think about how Montana played the position, Brock is very close to Montana in the way they function on the field. Sneaky athleticism. Able to move in and out of the pocket, avoid rushers, always keeping his eyes downfield for his guys, good sense of where the rushers coming from, anticipation, timing, accuracy with touch and catchable passes. Brees, yeah ok. Brock is even closer to Montana.

If the Niners win the SB this year he would do what Joe did in his 2nd year which would be a pretty good way to start your career. Really like this young man I think he is doing great!!!!
