I'm not sure how playing against Tom Brady was adversity when the game was a shutout until late. Justin Fields put up more points against our defense in both of the games we've played against him.
Everything else you mentioned just doesn't seem like that big of a deal or is at least something that every NFL QB has to do. Not every QB gets to come in and play with this many weapons on offense that had been in-rhythm with one of the best play callers and the #1 defense. Not every QB gets to play 6 of their first 8 games at home and not even leave the West Coast until the NFC Championship game. Brock played well, I'm not knocking him, but I do find it absurd that someone would say that he overcame a lot of adversity as a starter.
lets wait and see how many more centuries it would take for another Mr Irrelevant to make roster, go undefeated as QB1, start for multiple playoff dubs, including a near 50 spot in postseason
the dude blew up his throwing arm and he went back into the football game
adversity as pick 262 is making roster, your career is on the line day 1 of rook camp and most picks that late don't make the team, they bounce from PS to PS then have careers selling insurance
