Not gonna lie, he looks pedestrian without star players. Could barely complete a pass.
I joked that the 49ers were going to play his reps from this game on repeat as they present him with a low ball offer of a contract after this season.
But the thing is if we think about it here is what he went out there with
OL:
2 out of 5 starters on the OL from last year and they were easily the two worst ones.
Puni looks to be a great find and a potential starter but it's a job he's also able to secure because 2 guys ahead of him got hurt.
WR:
Best WR was Cowing who is projected to be our WR5 if we get Aiyuk deal done.
RB:
Schrader is likely at best our RB4 if not RB5 behind CMC, Mitchell, Mason and possibly Guerrero
TE/FB:
No Kittle or Juice out there.
Now I've seen people claim Dobbs looked better with those guys but one thing to remember is QB play is based a lot on chemistry and trust in your guys. The majority of the players out there last night aren't guys Brock gets a lot of reps with. Dobbs has gotten a lot more reps with those guys.
Dobbs also went up against more 2s and 3s on the Saints defense, while Brock and his 2s & 3s supporting staff went up against NO's starting defense. That defense locked down the receivers on pass plays rather easily. Brock went checkdown or threw it away on most plays. The one where he said "screw it, it doesn't count" and chucked it being the exception.
I personally don't mind that he attempted that pass - again, it doesn't actually matter - but of course it's now some referendum to those who want to always dwell in the misery of "the WORST is always the only way to think".
Not worried about Brock at all.
Tom's 75% winning percentage vs Brock's 78% winning percentage says it all.
