00:00We've made a lot this week of other and former quarterbacks and what they're saying right now
00:07about Brock Purdy and to me there's kind of a few things that are changing the narrative if you will
00:15this year it's obviously impossible right now to keep your dukes up with regard to your Brock
00:22Purdy's a system quarterback takes that so many have thrown out through the years but this is now
00:29this is a train that is just running downhill that like and the former quarterbacks are going
00:36absolutely crazy over what they're seeing and I want to pick it apart a little bit because the
00:42comment that was made this morning on ESPN by Dan Orlovsky to me is probably the furthest we've gone
00:48yet we literally had Tom Brady earlier this week say he's a tier one QB like we got to talk
00:55about
00:55him next to Josh and Joe and Patrick well Orlovsky didn't call him tier one he called him Tom
01:02check this out listen to Orlovsky um this is from ESPN I'm not discrediting Kittle and McCaffrey and
01:11whatnot I don't think there's anybody in the league that could be doing what Purdy's doing in San
01:15Francisco right now Marcus the way it's getting done I'm telling you guys dude I'm just telling
01:21you guys the way that this thing is getting operated right now it is like watching Brady
01:27in New England how's that hit you the important one for me is there's nobody in the league who could
01:36be doing this with the 49ers right now and that Marcus Spears Marcus Spears the big side is struggling
01:44with that one yeah and I think a lot of people are struggling with it and it's hard to look
01:50beyond
01:50the three game sample which is three games and we can go back to last year and previous years yes
01:55Brock Purdy has been good this is not a brand new thing but I think a lot of the reactions
02:00that we're
02:01hearing from Orlovsky and from Kurt Warner and even Tom Brady himself and other quarterbacks they're
02:07reacting to the trajectory of his career but also these three games and so I'd have to go back and
02:13look at peak Tom Brady did he have a three game stretch where each of the quarterback ratings was
02:19around 130 or higher because that's what Brock is doing yeah who knows I mean for me actually what
02:25Orlovsky's saying here is not about the stats I get where you're coming from Brock has been awesome
02:32for three games he's been awesome for more than three games but this has been really really high
02:37level quarterbacking no sacks one turnover 10 touchdowns my god the efficiency is just it's through the
02:43roof so we all get that but I think what Orlovsky is saying here is he's not and by the
02:49way this
02:49commentary and back and forth does go on and Orlovsky is not saying Brock's the best quarterback in
02:57football it's actually what he's not saying what he said was I don't think anybody else could be doing
03:04this in San Francisco right now and to me I really translated what he's saying is this is flat out
03:12the perfect match you could not find a better person to be with these teammates in Kyle Shanahan's scheme
03:23right now so in other words he's not saying and he literally later said this he's not saying Brock's
03:30better than Josh Allen but if you stuck Josh Allen on the Niners right now Josh plays differently
03:38he's a different player he's a way more dynamic athlete but as Greg Cosell and so many others have
03:47said when it comes to the specifics of what we're watching Brock do with the Niners right now
03:53he's the best he's the best post snap he's the best processor Cosell said it's it's Purdy and Burrow
04:02and then there's a gap between the rest Mahomes Allen Lamar all of them and and so what I what
04:10I
04:11really took Dan to mean is with what you're watching the Niners try to do what their game plan is
04:18there is not a human being on planet earth that can do it better than Brock not the best quarterback
04:23it's the best situation fit execution etc and I think that a lot of that for me goes to Kyle
04:31Shanahan not that Brock doesn't get all the credit for playing well because he does but if Shanahan for
04:36example had Josh Allen as his quarterback would they run a different system I think they would the
04:43reason why that he's able to run this system with Brock and a lot of it now this year has
04:48become
04:48under center I think they're more than 50 percent now under center and I was looking at Brock's
04:53comments from yesterday about how at Iowa State and stuff and he's big on the uh and stuff oh he's
04:59like he sounds exactly ridiculous but he's had to learn from Kyle to play under center and so possibly
05:06as a result now Brock is able to execute a lot of these fakes the play action fakes and you
05:12know
05:12the boot action and the rest of it if you had Josh Allen would you have the same offense that
05:17is
05:17predicated on that sort of a of a play fake type of thing probably not but because Kyle has this
05:24quarterback who is a good processor he's great post snap he's great at executing fakes and delivering
05:30an accurate ball Kyle can run this system knowing that the quarterback he has is perfect for it I mean
05:35I think that what I'm noticing this year and I'm really excited by it to be honest with you I
05:41feel like
05:41I'm learning I think that the conversation is just moving to a higher place because it really
05:47if we all stop and think about it for a minute I think we could admit a couple of things
05:53the
05:54quarterback ranking thing is simplistic it's it's really based on a bunch of hooey it's subjective
06:01nonsense it does not make any sense whatsoever you're ranking a bunch of people who are doing
06:07completely different things in different schemes with different people so you might as well be like
06:13okay um why don't we rank uh Mark Willard and Dan Dibley and uh compare them to uh uh Larry
06:24Beal and
06:24Sal Castaneda who's ranked better if they do we're doing completely different stuff yep like yes we're in
06:29the media they're in football and they're quarterbacks but it's not it's impossible to compare and then the
06:38other thing that I really wish we would stop doing is and I this goes for coaches and quarterbacks and
06:45everybody stop with the whole like um take your resume to the final answer and go okay that now now
06:53we
06:53know who's better Matt Stafford won a Super Bowl he's better Matt Patrick Mahomes has won more Super
06:59Bowls he's better um but actually Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen and Joe Burrow are separate we don't
07:06hang that around their head because they win fantasy games for us um but Jalen Hurts won a Super Bowl
07:13therefore he's better than whoever Brock, Dak, Jared Goff we can play this game all along
07:20it's all sort of in my mind as you put it it's subjective simplistic nonsense I would much rather
07:31take this conversation where I'm hearing it go now and talk about the things that these players are
07:38doing the specific characteristics within the system of what they're asked to do and who is executing it
07:45better like there's no question if you look at it that way who's executing what they are asked to do
07:53better right now Brock or Josh Allen well Josh Allen turned the ball over three times last week
08:00so he's phenomenal but I don't get all like well Josh is the best because when he gets to the
08:07one yard
08:07line he's 250 pounds and he falls into the end zone amazing it's not amazing it's actually not amazing at
08:15all he's a great great player but I love that we're starting to push ourselves to like look at all
08:24of the
08:24things that are happening on the field and try to have some sort of an appreciation for that you can
08:32appreciate it and at the end of it and I can look at the Josh Allen example as a key
08:37one because he has
08:38to do a certain amount that the 49ers and their offense usually don't have to do because Buffalo's defense
08:44has been routinely poor and also the Josh Allen one yard keeper or the five yard keeper whatever it is
08:53he scores more rushing touchdowns than any human being outside of maybe Derek Henry in the NFL so
08:59that is part of their system their system is get the short yardage and give the ball to the big
09:05hoss
09:05and let him pick up the first or let him pick up the touchdown the Niners don't do that they
09:10have
09:10different weapons so every system is different and part of the Buffalo system is yeah Josh go out
09:16there and put 30 up and we might have a chance to win and he's brilliant at it he's brilliant
09:20but it's
09:20very very different than what we're seeing some of the other guys do
09:23you
09:23you
09:23you
09:23you
09:23you
