I don't bother with much commentary, so I really haven't paid too much attn to whatever lame s**t ppl are saying. BP has said he doesn't pay too much attention to "outside noise". So why should we? Fk em. Let them hang themselves, all the better.

I guess that's one way of looking at it. They will hang themselves and end up looking bad.

I guess so. Just treat it like that? Don't care and just carry on?

Naa. That was the problem with Martyball. You win in the regular season playing conservatively, but when there's no tomorrow, teams pull out all the stops and take chances. You just can't get through the playoffs if you don't let it rip too, and he wouldn't.

I think his rap was very well earned.

He was snakebit. He once lost a playoff game 10-7 where his otherwise reliable kicker missed three FGs under 45 yards. There was always some ridiculous turnover, a bad call or something else that happened. I always felt bad for the guy because he seemed like a genuinely great coach.

Marty was (I think) a Great coach, great motivator, but he could never draft that franchise QB, and always had to get other team's castoffs (an aging Joe and Steve Bono, Elvis Grbac for example).

I hate to dump on a great coach, and to be fair to him, I wasn't old enough to see his Browns and Chiefs team and admittedly don't know what his rosters and gameday decisions looked like... but even though he was able to take multiple teams to the playoffs, I do question his 5-13 playoff records with three different franchises that he was the head coach of for 5+ years each stop. He was tenured enough at all three stops that he could've built each team to what he needed. If he failed to franchise QB, I can sympathize, because Shanahan took a couple years to find Purdy, but it does show the difference between a perennial playoff team and a Super Bowl winner. For him to not find that guy in all those years, so unfortunate.

But yeah... 13 playoff exits. Different teams, different personnel... but commentators would always make note of his conservatism in playoff games, to the point that he's known for Martyball. His career was a large enough sample size that something just didn't work.

Looking forward to what he has to say about Deebo jogging. Shanahan playing 4D chess.

That's honestly hilarious cause shanny noticed that on the film and turned it into a positive. Lmao he probably noticed DBs reading that on deebo to figure out where the ball may be.

The Gottlieb take that anyone with more impressive physical "prototypical QB" traits could just plug & play and match or surpass Brock's consistent performances misses the importance of ELITE processing and anticipation and the role it plays in his game. Brock is obviously physically adequate to play at a high level, but his best trait is his brain, his ability to adapt, and his feel for the game. Guys like Gottlieb seem to think all top level QB's (at least top draft picks) possess that in spades.

People with a muscle for a brain just aren't satisfied if you don't have superior brawn. If you don't have intellect, you don't appreciate it.

I have to defend guys like Gottlieb a little. He's just one of thousands of talking heads and fans that have been conditioned to believe that 40 times and stats are all that count. The NFL has made the combine a weeklong TV event where fans fall in love with big fast guys in shorts. The QBs with the big arm or the ones that run a 4.5 40 or better are hyped while guys like Purdy are barely mentioned. It shouldn't be surprising that it takes awhile for many of them to come around. Some never will. It may take a big performance in the SB before more people start seeing what we see every week.

I don't disagree with that... I mean it took me a while to shed the negative thoughts about Brock regressing or "getting exposed" on the big stage, but twenty plus games into his career is beyond "a while". The next bird to go down after MNF is a serving of Crow down the gullets of the haters and doubters.

I assume as a Niners fan you've seen nearly all of Brock's starts. The problem is most people around the country don't. They see a highlight here or there but have no idea how he actually plays the game. They still look at the fact that he's under 6'1"and doesn't run around like Fields or Jackson. In their minds he's still that undersized guy with limited physical skills that got drafted last. That's why I think it may take a few good performances in the playoffs where everyone sees the game before people start believing in him. A few good throws and maybe a game wiOKnning TD drive. Unfortunately, the reverse is also true. If he has a bad game in the NFC championship game or SB, the doubters will say "see I told you he wasn't really that good"

OK then. If you are going to espouse opinions on the national stage, perhaps you have an obligation to do the research first. It's your job.

Yeah, that's my overarching issue with some (but not all) talking heads. There are a lot of them who spout off opinions, but it's very clear that they don't actually do their homework.

One of the easiest ways I can tell an analyst hasn't done their homework, is when they start talking about how this offense can have the QB dump it off and one of the YAC bros can take off. But the reality is that Purdy's yardage by YAC is significantly lower--- he's making his money in the intermediate/deep area of the field.

These podcasters and radio hosts are just trying to get noticed and the best way is to broadcast a bad take. There are three names I'd never heard of until they made some stupid ass take, Adam Rank, the Ruiz Ringer guy, and now Gottlieb. Never knew who they were. They make some dumb comment, get talked about, and now I know who they are. That's a waste of space in my brain that could be used for something important.

"He was awesome, as he had been," Lynch said of the 49ers' quarterback. "We keep talking about this theme and you'll say, 'Man, he had an incredible game,' but that's just what he's been. He's been very consistently spectacular since he's been our guy." - John Lynch

Brock might have a bad throw, but he has yet to have a bad game. That is incredible for a guy with limited NFL starting experience.
