49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1
- Thread starter guitarchitect7
- Start date
Not to derail the thread. But me an a buddy had a conversation at halftime of the national championship game, could the Bears make the comeback in the second half? We ultimately determine it probably would have taken all half, but they could pull it out.
This. Most of Mahomes or Lawrence read/throws are what Purdy is doing. Could they beat him in a long ball contest? Sure.
Thoughts rattling in my head
1) 3 out of the 4 QBs left...you would say they have swagger...and not in a bad way. Burrow with his cigars in the locker room, Mahomes with his physics-defying escapes and throws. Don't know if Hurts has swag, but I do know when he returned from his shoulder injury, he wore a shirt to the stadium that depicted the front page of the Chicago Sun Times the day after Jordan returned where the headline announced "I'm Back." I wouldn't say Brock has swag, but I would say he has confidence. Sure, you see him celebrate after a TD, but it's more "Our team scored!", not "Look at me!" I feel like the most we would see from Brock would be a wry smile after pulling a patented Purdy pump to gain 8 yards plus with his feet. (Ohhhh, to see that next week at some point)
2) Lots of talking heads mention how Brock has not only played A LOT of snaps in college, but went through adversity at points during that time. As I stew on that, I feel like that's a chunk of why he's succeeding. It seems to be rare where the QBs out of the "big boy" football legacy schools are successful right out of the gate like Brock.
I probably could prattle on some more, but I'll just leave it at that.

Holy smokes.
First off, sorry about spamming the thread, but I NEED for this to happen.
No matter what happens from here on out for the 49ers.
Brock Purdy
George Kittle
Cy-Hawk game, Ames, IA
Show highlights of Brock and Kittle from this past season and playoffs between the first and second quarter.
Bring both of them on the field to thunderous applause.

Funny, the two times we've had College GameDay, ISU got shorted on the celebrity picker. First it was a total outsider (lol) in Eric Church, then it was hokeye shill Aston Kutcher. Well, we have a celebrity now. In fact, quite a few of them. Not only solid NFL/NBAplayers in Montgomery, Lazard, Niang and Monte Morris, but a legit NBA All-Star in Haliburton and now pretty much the story of the NFL in Purdy. Things are trending pretty well for ISU.
Slow that roll a bit...
How about we just show highlights of Purdy and let the Hoks worry about Kittle. I would be embarrassed if we honored Kittle in Ames.
Because we're not massive doosher's like you and your mouthbreathers out east.
Lol what? What game should we honor TJ Hockenson at next year?
Thinking Keith got a lot of grief. He very pointedly said IOWA state this time. 
This is why no one even remembers Kittle at Iowa. I looked up his college stats a couple years ago, very underwhelming.
So putting NFL teammates from rival schools on game day would be “honoring” our rivals?
Sorry, not following.
It’s 1 millions times better than putting B-list actor Ashton Kutcher (who I’m pretty sites dropped out of Iowa) on.
Saw this on Twitter, so I can't confirm its accuracy, but I believe it's true. It speaks to those who feel Brock didn't have such a great game last Sunday:
Brock was under pressure on 48.5% of dropbacks, most of any #49ers QB since 2020. Unlike his counterpart, he didn't turn the ball over once, and when kept clean he was 15-17 for 159 yards.
