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.
