My son (a kid) and I had the opportunity to spend time with him a couple times during his time at Iowa State. I can’t describe how absolutely genuine and what an awesome dude he is. He did something for my son after he got drafted and move to San Fran that he most definitely could have not done in the middle of trying to make it in the league. Sure the league can change you but I have no reason to believe it has. He’s simply a top tier human being.
49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

It’s so cool hearing how some of you now root for the 49ers and how passionate you are about Iowa state. Brock said that the fans passion for the program was a huge reason he chose Iowa state - you can see that just in this forum.
He has that cool story how he visited Alabama because they offered a scholarship, but Saban clearly didn’t even look into him before criticizing him. Then he went to Iowa state on a visit and was blown away at the passion of the fan base.
I’ve actually read up on the programs history and have followed them since he left. Haha I don’t have a “team” in CFB but I catch myself
Hoping you guys win each week. The program did really well while he was there and has had a handful of really talented guys get drafted. I hope Campbell can get another quality QB soon. You guys deserve it.

Just gonna leave this here. I know we've only played 1/4 of the season, but he is getting better and may very well go up. Some great company and hell of a start to a career.

Can you hope for a good Oline and some Dabo-level receivers?
@Tankle104 dont know if you’ve seen these highlights but it’s a fun watch. True freshman Brock comes in cold off the bench to replace the starter and absolutely torches a very good OSU team on the road.
Unfortunately Brock probably won't get National respect until he makes it to a Superbowl. And if he doesn't win it, subdued respect.
He's Kurt Warner all over again. He won a Super Bowl early and got respect.... but there was always this cloud hanging over him that it was still a fluke. Like he didn't deserve to have this. He wasn't from the system. Sucks.

I think most of us thought that Brock could be a good backup QB in the NFL and thought he should have been drafted a bit higher. But most of us had no idea how great his start in the NFL was going to be.
It's been really fun becoming a 49ers fan. Your team is fun to watch and honestly if they traded Brock, I'd probably still sort of follow them. But right now---a lot of us are following the 49ers closer than whatever team we usually support. Last year when he started his run, they'd put on the games on the big screen during timeouts in our basketball games. I have relatives that have never bought an NFL shirt that are buying 49ers shirts. (And honestly he wasn't even my favorite player on his Iowa State teams.)
And remember when the 49er's twitter account is tweeting out "Brocktober"....we came up with that phrase
You had me there for a half sec. I was about ready to call you our own Earl Campbell.
Tankle104..... you are a fabulous addition to this site!
Keep the info coming!

Many of us are now 49er fans due to Brock. They are a fun team to watch, and Brock is becoming such a remarkable national story. Just remember, we had him first!
If the 49ers were to make it to the Super Bowl, and were to let's say, be playing against my Chiefs (again), I honestly have to say I would be happy with the outcome regardless of who won. I could not say this the first time in 2020, pre Brock, and the Chiefs were able to come back and get that one.
I would be thrilled to see another Chiefs / 49ers SB!
A lot of common fans give a lot of the credit to the team and head coach, but Brock deserves a lot of credit too. Brock is in a great situation for any young qb, no doubt, but he’s also elevated the team. With jimmy G at the helm, niners averaged about 25 PPG. With Brock, that’s been elevated to 33+ PPG - the highest in the NFL. He also has the highest QB rating in the nfl since he became the starter last season (and highest this year right now).
Kyle shanahan (49ers HC) has a history of not trusting his QBs with too much freedom in the offense. He’s also only won with Brock & Jimmy G. Recently, he came out and said that he trusts Brock more than any qb he’s had since being the HC.. and it shows clearly in his play calling.
Brocks accuracy, decisiveness, anticipation, leadership, calm demeanor, and amazing ability to scramble has made the team much better than they were before. He’s fortunate to have the quality team and play calling around him, but they’re fortunate to have him too. He’s elevated the team and it’s obvious.

I’ve always liked the chiefs, as well. I liked Andy Reid back when he was with the eagles - Mahomes is awesome to watch too. I was sad to lose the super bowl to them but I’d rather lose to them than most other teams. I like the way the organization is ran. I’m big on ownership and how they treat the players.Many of us are now 49er fans due to Brock. They are a fun team to watch, and Brock is becoming such a remarkable national story.

Not me. I’m a Purdy fan, period. I’ve known too many Dbag niner fans to ever become a fan. Although this guy seems cool.Many of us are now 49er fans due to Brock. They are a fun team to watch, and Brock is becoming such a remarkable national story. Just remember, we had him first!
