When you see a yards /attempt and note that is just a touch less than the best ever., Peyton's…well , it means that there are a number of Brock passes that are going a long distance. What is even more surprising, is to re-look at Brock's high school highlite reel, and you will see a number of passes going 40 -45- 50 yds in the air for completions
.
So this business about "game manager" and Brock throwing dink and dunk passes is just fooey stupid. Whoever hasn't noticed, Brock was throwing these long balls 4 yrs before he ever landed here. Look at his highlite reel and you will see those babies going down range…and they were on target.
It makes one wonder even more, WTF 31 teams were doing when they passed on Brock 7 times and we almost did, picking him as last guy in the draft. It sure looks like one heckuva lot of "scouts" , GMs, HCs, et al, flat azz missed the boat on Brock. It was there 5 yrs ago and before. Lombardi's chart above just shows what many of us fans have known for some time now.
1) this kid ain't no dink and dunk game manager.
2) Brock is a pinpoint passer and excels at throwing before the receiver breaks.
3).Brock's quick glance reads of Defenses are astonishingly fast and accurate and his in depth knowledge of where each receiver is at each moment of each play are almost not believable.
4) add in that he is what 23? Or is it 22? Doesn't matter. This is a young man playing like a seasoned 30 yr old all pro.
8 yrs of miserable health luck (all bad) has bedeviled us and has seemed as the worst luck ever. Well, we finally evened that out with relatively good health and a sensation at QB. JL and Kyle have managed to put 7-10 all pros on the field at the same time at 9 key positions…LT, LBs, DEs, DBs, QB, RB, FB, WR TE, plus depth on DL, PK, P, and other receivers. The old adage, "the pendulum always swings back"…is alive and well in 49er land.
