Purdy is more on the level of Steve Young. He can make plays with his legs, and will be a very good conductor of a well functioning offense, but when things start to break down, he's not going to carry the team on his own, in the way a super-elite QB can.
And for years I wished we just had a Steve Young level QB. So I"m not going to crap on Purdy.
A lot else needs to be fixed with this team.
And I know some will say "But Steve won a super bowl" yeah he did, when he was surrounded by all pros on offense and defense.
The 49ers would have won the super bowl last year with a Deion Sanders in his prime.
lol no he's not. Steve was a HOF quarterback who, after the 1994 season, was surrounded with minimal talent (except an aging Jerry Rice) and expected to bring home trophies. He still took the team into the playoffs every year except one.
Brock has the most talented roster around him in the league. For three years straight now. It seems like the rumors are beginning to be right. He needs all the pieces, all the probowlers to be clicking on all cylinders then he looks unstoppable. Take away a CMC or a Deebo or a Trent Williams in any given game and he becomes pedestrian. (See vs Cleveland, vs Minnesota, vs KC, etc). Can't keep saying that coordinator X has his number. He struggles when the stars aren't aligned unfortunately.
Steve had plenty of talent post 1994.
