Isnt that what Shanys offense is? Who were the YAC bros and who was their QB.
Brock has been among the league leaders in air yards. It isn't Brock.

This is where the Mac conversation begins, he is playing with the same low level roster for 3 games and hurt last week ......more real world data. I dont see page after page of excuses for Mac cause they are not needed. Atleast to this point.
Lots of football left but if Mac continues to play well and Brock comes back and is meh........
Excuses aren't needed when you win...unless you're Brock Purdy apparently cuz we still have people bringing up his picks and the "near pick" aka game winning TD.
Thing after a loss people struggle with having nuanced conversations, it's hot take city. We had a guy in here legit claim Purdy's game vs the Jags was the worst game he's seen from a QB in a 49ers uniform.
Nobody was worried about Mac's fumble vs the Saints cuz we won. Nobody was worried about Mac's pick vs Arizona cuz we won.
So let's be honest - Brock has a bigger target on him because he's the actual starter and now a guy we signed to a big contract but why should that impact the actual analysis?
We'll never have apples to apples comparison at the very least until we see Mac play vs Seattle or Brock play vs the Rams this season. And even then obviously and hopefully the talent around them will be different in those games so we'll never have a clear this guy did this and this guy did that.
The mistakes Brock made in Seattle weren't the mistakes he made vs the Jags. That's why I think just looking at his 4 TD vs 4 INT stat line isn't telling of what actually happened.
But hopefully Mac continues to play well cuz we need him to keep winning. I just expect Brock to be much better than meh when he comes back.
Contracts equal expectations. Like it or not. You get paid and sometimes demand it because you are suppose to be good. You dont get paid for excuses and coulda shoulda woulda. This isnt socialism.
Comparisons are already happening and are relavent. Its about a direct comparison as you can get, thus far, with the same personel on the field. Seattle/Rams and Jax/NO/Turds all comparable.
Mac playing the way he is should give Purdy plenty of motivation......
