I was a fan before Joe and those were some tough times. But what a pleasure to see Montana start and grow as our QB. That first year was painful, but there was something there, you could feel it. This kid Purdy has that fire in his belly. His growing pains may not be a difficult as '79, but there will be mistakes and a learning curve. In all my years of watching football I've never seen a perfect game although a couple of Joe's Superbowls came close. It's great to watch the games again and know we always have a chance to win.

He does have that fire in the belly, I noticed it in the Miami game. Just somethin was there. One of my favorite memories was watching that 55-10 wipeout in XXIV. I would say that was close to perfect as a game could be..for us anyway lol.

Purdy has played well but I haven't really looked at the other offensive rookies so I can't compare him. His small sample size could work against him. If he had played all season and the Niners had this same record, he would likely be a shoe in.

He wasn´t gonna win the ROTY trophy anyway. He played only "6" games. They won´t vote for him for that reason.
It doesn´t change the fact that he´s clearly the best offensive rookie this season.
A rookie playing like that in Kyle´s offense, talk about a performance.
He would go in the first round if there was a re-draft. At least he would be a top 50 pick.

I'm sure he would rather win the SB too.

Has a Rookie(any position) won Super Bowl MVP?

This fan base was split a couple of years ago. Many posters on the webzone wanted an upgrade to Jimmy G and the other posters thought we should keep him and build the roster around him. I was in the camp that we should look to upgrade from Jimmy for a multitude of reasons, injuries being one of those reasons. Many posters have called me a hater of Jimmy g for not agreeing on his value to the team, but that's never stopped me from repeatedly saying I've always rooted for him to succeed, I really like him as person, as a leader, and I wish he could have won the super bowl with us. I've wanted to see a 49ers win the SB since I was a kid. That's always been my motivation for my stances on players.

But everything we've seen so far from Brock is exactly what this offense was lacking IMO. The camp that wanted to see better QB play is getting just that, and I feel like the results are proving that camps argument was justifiable. It's not the player most expected it to be, but Lance being that guy was never my main concern. I and many others wanted better QB play, period, and so far, he's improved our redzone offense, he's able to avoid pressure, he's able to run for first downs, he's much better at play action, and he's more accurate throwing deep (IMO).

Those are the same things we all wanted to see Lance provide to this offense, but unfortunately, we have only seen some flashes but it's nowhere near the same level consistency that we're seeing right now from Purdy.

I don't think it's fair to say after 6 games that Purdy is a better player than Jimmy. I do, however, think it's fair to say that Purdy is playing better than Jimmy... since becoming a 49er. Because we don't know what a 2017 Jimmy G would look like with this offense. I think that's an important distinction to make in fairness to Jimmy.

I see this situation as a win-win. I'd be happy if either Brock or Trey becomes our long-term franchise QB. I like both players skillsets and their personalities off the field. I think we'll need both going forward with how often we lose players to injury. Hopefully Trey and Brock both get better if they do have some sort of competition this offseason. I'd also be fine with naming Brock the starter if he performs at this current level in the playoffs.

Great post, Water!

I, too, endorse this post. Well said.
