If that throw is a "dart" then Joe Montana is the 3rd best QB of just the 1980's.

dont see many 12-yarders that beautiful.

Anybody else keeping tabs on Iowa State?
They get Iowa at home Saturday. Win it and there's good chance they can start the season on a little undefeated streak.
When your college team does well it has a way of energizing people sometimes.
We shall see!

Purdy's critics keep ranking him lower than guys like Prescott, Love and Geno Smith (LMAO) because he "struggled with a depleted WR group last season" - but did he? Sure, he wasn't as good as 2023, but "struggle" doesn't match his 2024 output. What these guys are doing is looking at the 6-11 record and assuming it was the offense that struggled, and therefore that's all Purdy's fault, when the reality was that it was mostly the defense that struggled while the offense just didn't have the guys to bail them out.

It's the same thing with Brock. People simply can't get over the fact that he's not some uber athlete with a rocket arm. They see a shorter QB without the cannon arm and super fast speed and the draft bias comes out.

It's also why actual former QBs and coaches give him a lot more love than the hot take guys, because they know how the sport is played and that athletic ability, while great, isn't everything when it comes to playing this position.

They tried to put down Tom Brady for years and he actually had the SB rings to flex. He didn't get his flowers from most people until the 2007 season...ironically which ended in a highly disappointing SB loss to a defense coached by Steve Spagnulo. Hell in some cases people still knocked Brady until he won it with Tampa Bay, thinking he was a product of Belichick

Now as much as I love Brock I don't see him being Tom Brady. Partly because Brady had more physical traits(as a passer) but also because I think Brady had the insane Jerry Rice like drive to be the best that I don't think Brock has. It's not saying Brock doesn't have a drive to be great but Brady put football over everything else in his life. Brock isn't doing that nor would I fault him for it.

But Brock simply has to keep developing and growing. If he shows what he's able to do more and more people will have no choice but to give him his due. Hopefully it includes multiple SB wins as part of his resume as a 49er when his career is over and done with.

Interesting little factoid.

Yeah, I will never forget running into a Pats fan after Tom's first SB win. I said, "Oh hey, congratulations!." His exact reaction was, an actual sigh of frustration and then said, "I mean, that Tom Brady (sighs again), he's just got this average arm, he's just not that impressive with this throws, I don't see him being a long term guy at all." I just stood there puzzled and at a loss for words lol.

I live in the NE area, lots of casuals around here. Brady winning that year was definitely in part cuz of what the defense did but that roster on offense was crazy non special.

I actually ended up going to their SB parade that year cuz my gf at the time was a fan and wanted to go. I need to see another 49ers one ASAP. Hopefully Purdy will be part of several of them.

Nothing screams cool like wearing a Canadian tuxedo and dancing in unison with a bunch of beef cakes. Gosh, I hope Brock got done serious cheddar for this.

Stop watching FS1, their Niner takes are garbage. ESPN is at least a little more neutral.

Montana to TB12 is Helga to Arnold (from Hey Arnold).

In my mind Montana is still the GOAT. As much as Brady b****ed every time someone hit him too hard, makes me think he wouldn't have gone far in the 80's & early 90's. Brady has more rings but Montana was a warrior JMHO
