Brock vs Minnesota
- Thread starter JM4CY
- Start date
It's rough on little JM, but it's good to start the emotional scarring early if he's going to root for ISU. Always be vigilant and have the nutcup firmly in place.
It’s ski u mah. And that’s totally fine, apathy for college ball has totally set in for me.
first pick- bad
2nd pick- somewhat understandable
defense didnt do the niners any favors.
brock still is 2nd in the league in QBR and Passer Rating
The first pick was on the receive as much as on Purdy, he was throwing to a spot and the receiver did not get there. Its the same type of play that Purdy had been doing all night. The continually showed Purdy releasing the ball with the receiver still in his break and when he comes out of it, both the ball and the receiver are in same position on the field.
The 2nd was all on him, he rushed the pass on the scramble. Every QB makes mistakes, has poor games, the great ones shake it off and are unstoppable the next game.
As to Cousins, the type of play last night is what gets some many people, he was great, and then the next game he will suck. That is just who he is as a QB, and why the Vikings would be better off to move on without him.

He is above average in most categories and football is a team sport.
I hate to say it but the desperation time pick looked eerily familiar to Brock's Iowa State days
The man has been paid over $200 million dollars and has won nothing, he is not horrible, but he has also never been considered one of the top 5/6 QB in the league.
He is like the pitcher in MLB that is a 3rd starter, makes 35 starts a year, and finishes up 12 and 10 with an ERA of 4.25. Not the type of player you need to win Super Bowls, unless like you said, you surround him with great talent.
Haters gonna hate but I thought Brock played very well and, IMO, only made one major mistake. The second pick was in desperation time and I'm not really counting that against him. His D let him down.
But SKOL!
But SKOL!
How many of the "Top 5/6" QBs have won something? And how do you define "top 5/6"?
Dan Marino never won a super bowl but Trent Dilfer did. By the Cousins-hate logic, Dilfer is a better QB than Marino.
Are you really comparing Cousins and Dilfer to Marino? Trent Dilfer is the posture child for average QB that won a super bowl playing with a great defense, he was the just don't screw this up and we can win QB. The Vikings do not have that type of talent, they need more from the position, game in and game out. If Cousins could play like he did last night most games, they would have a chance, but he can't do that. He is great, like last night, then he is horrible.
Marino when he retired had led his to team to a Super Bowl and lost, but he also held basically every passing record in the league when he hung it up, he is in the HOF for a reason, he was that great of a QB.
Thanks for confirming that winning a super bowl is a team effort and not solely on the QB.
31 QBs dont win a super bowl each year.
Only 3 active QBs have a super bowl ring. You say Cousins isn't "top 5/6". How do you determine this? Wilson, Mahommes, and Stafford aren't coming to MN, so what new QB will take MN to the super bowl and how do you determine this? What metrics are you looking at?
My older son (mid 20s) my wife and myself were there last night. I am a lifelong Viking fan so had mixed feelings about the game. Wore a Vikings long sleeve and an ISU hat. Son did the same. Wife went all ISU. 2nd time at US Bank. My takes:
- 49er fans travel well and are very supportive, almost bordering on entitled. But Super Bowl wins might have something to do with that...Was impressed with the percentage wearing red.
- ISU was well represented last night by both sides. That was pretty awesome. A few ISU Purdy jerseys, a few Ray Gun shirts. Many 49er Purdy jerseys.
- Mostly kids wearing TOE Kittle jerseys. One adult in full hack gear waved a hack flag over the railing in our section (238).
- Pregame atmosphere outside US Bank is pretty neat. Huge fan experience setting with food trucks, music and games for all ages.
- I thought Purdy played well. Our seats gave us a great end zone view of the field and his touch and placement on passes is outstanding. The last Int might have been a poor choice, but the loss should not be pinned solely on him.
-Same with Kirk Cousins, thought he played very well as well. 49ers couldn't get to him and he made some great throws.
- After the game, I saw why there are fights in the walkways every Sunday. Viking fans talking crap. Get over yourself. Be happy with the win but head on home.
-Driving back to WDM, I saw the Chris Williams Iowa Everywhere/CF pick up. Nice ride.
- Did anyone else drive through the hail storm between Owatonna and Albert Lea about 1 AM?
Skol Vikings as well go 49ers from here on out.
