Think you're right 6. Man that's sad, for those of us who got to see Montana and Young, I truly think it's all a part of why the standards and expectations are so high of that position for a lot of 49er fans
Yeah, the last 20+ years have blown. There is a huge amount of the fan base, approximately 32 or so and under that the best qb we've ever seen wear this uniform was Jimmy.
unless you started watching 49ers football at such a young age - you maybe saw Jeff Garcia and then just horrible after that to above average, nothing grest.
thats why I'm so excited about Purdy, the way he played last season was probably the best football from a QB that we've had since young. He really showed a lot, like a lot, and I want to see if it was real or not. We have zero reason to think it wasn't real, but I understand the hesitation.
if Brock is the real deal, we are going to have a great 10-15 year run. 😍😍🤘
I think Brock has a command/leadership that few players have. He doesn't just go run a play, he wants to win every play. Sounds simple but a lot of guys just "run what the coaches call" and then the best ones have this intensity to where they want to win every single down. Get the troops in order and focused.
thays why when a position group on offense isn't focused or not playing well, I place a small blame of it in the QB for not getting those guys straight and focused. To me that usually means a lack of leadership - although it can come from other roles like a HC but I think every thing on offense starts with great leadership from a QB. That gets guys amped up and focused, you get far less of those sloppy unfocused performances. At least in my opinion.
so when someone says "the o line played bad, WR played bad etc" I look at it like "why wasn't the qb getting those guys focused?
it's not ALWAYS on them, I get that. But I think a lot of the time that just shows lack of leadership from the QB. An example where it wasn't like that was mahommes against the Bucs. I don't blame that in Mahomes cause he was super into it and trying so hard, but his guys let him down.
