I agree. He's very good. Best we've had since Garcia to be honest. Clutch ? No way. If I have 2 minutes left on the clock and I have to pick my quarterbacks to make that final drive, Brock doesn't qualify top 5.
I wouldn't pay him 60m this offseason….
with that said, I'm still a huge fan and enjoy watching him. He's a really good quarterback, just not elite.
Honestly, I feel like there's a bit too much recency bias with this clutch stuff. I think Brock has been a lot more clutch than some give him credit for. 3 of his 6 playoff wins he was credited with game winning drives.
While he missed Aiyuk against LA, he hit Bell in the hands to setup a game winning score or more time chewed off to seal it. Bell screwed us.
Last year he drove us down for the game winning FG against Cleveland. Moody missed.
I do think he deserves blame for the ending against Arizona and then Minnesota last year (although he was playing concussed at that point so may not even be fair to include that one). But no one is gonna get it done every time.
