00:00 The whole Brock Purdy thing is confusing to me.
00:03 And I'm sure there's probably some Niners fans going, "Really?
00:07 Like this is okay.
00:09 Great."
00:12 Do you think Brock is the solution?
00:16 And when did you realize that he could play at this efficient of a level?
00:23 I think he's the solution on this team under his current contract.
00:28 Remember 10 years ago when the Seahawks really had a juggernaut, that Legion of Boom team,
00:33 and they went to back-to-back Super Bowls and really should have won back-to-back, but
00:37 Russell Wilson threw that interception at the end.
00:41 He was perfect for that team.
00:42 He was cheap, he was young, he was mobile.
00:45 He was a playmaker.
00:46 And Marshawn Lynch was really the engine of that offense.
00:49 I feel like Brock Purdy's in the same position right now.
00:52 If he keeps this up, one day he'll be making $50-60 million a year, and I don't know if
00:56 he'll be able to produce at that level, but he's making $900,000 a year right now, and
01:02 he's playing MVP-level quarterback.
01:04 So that's the biggest cheat code in sports.
01:08 You could look at him and say, "Well, he only does this, or he dinks and dunks, or he's
01:12 in and in and in."
01:13 But it's every week.
01:15 It's every week.
01:17 At a certain point, you just have to say it's not a fluke.
01:20 Maybe other quarterbacks don't get it done like he does, and maybe he's not your typical
01:25 quarterback, but it's so consistent.
01:27 It's kind of like a baseball player who doesn't make hard contact, but is always getting on
01:33 base with a blue pit or a CNI single, and it's like, man, if he could do it every year,
01:40 it's not a fluke.
01:41 Kind of like Jeter was that way, if you remember Jeter.
01:43 Jeter didn't really hit the ball that hard.
01:45 You think I'm like 12?
01:46 If you're in your 30s and you remember Derek Jeter, he didn't hit the ball that hard.
01:52 He didn't have power.
01:53 He was a slap hitter, but he worked forever.
01:55 I mean, I'm just saying.
01:58 Kind of like that.
01:59 Yeah.
02:00 Well, if Brock Purdy makes 50 or 60 million bucks someday, he's not going to be Mr. Irrelevant
02:04 anymore.
02:05 I mean, it is just amazing to me looking at this guy going, "I don't necessarily get it,
02:10 but I'm not going to hate on a guy for having success."
02:12 It's pretty remarkable to me that he's been able to do it the way he has.
