00:00 Was Amy Trask right about Brock Purdy? People got really upset when she was when she said he was the
00:06 worst of the remaining quarterbacks left in the division around the worst of eight. She said he's
00:12 really good, but not as good as the other seven. Was she right? Okay, well, let's do it this way,
00:18 Iggy. There are four left. Okay, let's just make it a gang of four and see what he ranks.
00:26 I want to preface this by saying I know Amy very well. All those years she was with the Raiders,
00:33 and Amy and I get along extremely well. We often meet at this market called The Village.
00:40 Now, she's moved to the LA area, but she's up here, and we meet at The Village market over by
00:45 broccoli and any other stuff, and we always give each other a hug and how you doing and all of
00:49 that. She was around football a lot, but really in administration. She wasn't in personnel,
00:56 so I don't know the extent of her knowledge about players as opposed to contracts and things like
01:04 that. On the other hand, she's really smart, and she learns very quickly. I like the idea that she
01:13 came out and said something provocative. I love it. I don't say, "Who the hell is she?" I love
01:19 that she did that. I love people like that. There's four quarterbacks left. Let's take them
01:25 first AFC, Mahomes. Mahomes is better than Brock Purdy. I don't think there's a sane person
01:32 on earth who could say Brock Purdy is better than Mahomes, except his wife and his family,
01:39 which they're entitled. Brock Purdy wouldn't say that he's better than Patrick Mahomes.
01:44 If he thinks he's better than Patrick Mahomes, then he's not the guy I think he is.
01:46 Okay. We can agree that Patrick Mahomes, who is probably one of the greatest quarterbacks
01:55 who ever lived in the Montana Brady class, is better. Let's go over to the Ravens, Lamar Jackson.
02:05 I have misgivings about him in that I don't think he's a good pocket passer, and I question him as
02:14 a passing quarterback, but what a runner. In terms of a passing quarterback, he may not be as good
02:24 as Brock Purdy, although his numbers were very good last week. I think he had a 120 passer rating,
02:30 and Brock has something like 86. Although he may not quite over long haul be the passer,
02:38 that Purdy is, he is such a weapon from the pocket. He's better on the run. You're right.
02:45 He is the greatest weapon in the league, even better than Debo, who is a great weapon.
02:54 Not a great wide receiver. In my opinion, Josh Allen's a good weapon too. He is. Listen, Iggy,
03:02 I would have to say if I were choosing up a team and it was between Brock and Lamar,
03:08 I'd take Lamar. How about you? I would take Lamar. I would take Josh Allen.
03:12 The question is Goff. I think I would take Purdy over Goff because Purdy's younger
03:19 and more mobile, but Goff did play better than Purdy this weekend for whatever it's worth.
03:25 He did. What Brock is contending for is not first place, second place, third or fourth.
03:36 Do you put him third or do you put him fourth?
03:39 I put him fourth. If he wins this weekend, he jumps to third.
03:49 Again, his legacy and quarterback legacies to me ultimately are based on what you do in the
03:54 playoffs. Right now, his playoff resume isn't that great. If he beats the Lions in the NFC
04:00 Championship game, it's really good. Right now, Goff won an NFC Championship game.
04:06 He's been to a Super Bowl. He's accomplished more than Brock Purdy has in his career. Purdy has to
04:13 win this game to leapfrog. Goff, he hasn't done it yet. He could get Goffed.
04:18 It could be Purdy who gets Goffed and not Goff. I'm going to say Brock Purdy is number three.
04:28 I put Goff number four very close. I may be prejudiced because one, I see Brock Purdy a lot
04:37 more and two, I do love his story. I don't actually root for him, but I love his story.
04:44 Steve Young said they ought to make a movie about him or write a book about him.
04:48 Here's what I think. I think he's mentally tougher than Jared Goff. I don't think he's the kind of
04:56 guy who falls off in the second half the way Goff does. I think if he gets hit, it doesn't bother
05:07 him. If Goff gets hit, it does bother him. He doesn't play as well. He doesn't like it. I think
05:16 maybe across a whole 60-minute game, he's a more precise, more accurate passer. I feel that about
05:24 him. I think he's a better quarterback. Goff is one hell of an arm. I agree. I agree. It's a tough
05:34 one, but here's the thing. We're disagreeing. Is there a bet in this? I have one more thing to say
05:42 before we talk about a bet. You and I had always said the one thing that Purdy needs to prove is,
05:50 can he bring his team back? Did he do that? Do you think he did that against the Packers?
05:55 He did do it against the Packers. Absolutely.
05:58 So he answered, he checked that big box for me. No, I like him better. I like him better than
06:03 Goff. I do. So can we say, there's one thing, who wins the game, but we could make it more specific.
06:12 Who has a higher passer rating? Why don't we bet on that?
06:16 Okay. So Goff has a higher passer rating. You owe me a bottle of wine. And if Purdy has a higher
06:22 passer rating, I owe you a bottle of wine. Fair enough. Now, I owe you a Beaujolais right now.
06:28 This is a bigger bet. What are we betting on this one?
06:32 You want to go Nebbiolo? You want to go?
06:38 Okay. Nebbiolo.
06:41 Okay. Sounds good. Will you remember?
06:44 Yeah, I am. I will. I'm not trying to be down on Brock. I just, he wasn't that great against,
06:50 he was clutch, but he wasn't that great against the Packers. And everyone's like, well, it rained.
06:53 Okay. Well, I thought he had a very similar game against the Cowboys at home in the division around
06:58 the last year. And now I'm starting to wonder, is this just a playoff thing for Brock Purdy?
07:03 Because frankly, that was the deal with Jimmy. Jimmy would have great years. He would have
07:07 excellent numbers in the regular season and then the playoffs would happen and he would all fall
07:14 apart because it's different. It's a whole different season. So we have to see from Brock.
07:18 Yeah. I want to say, I admire your courage to go against the flow. I do admire that. And I think
07:25 your reasons are good. And I, so I think we have a legitimate bet.
07:29 Okay. I like a legitimate bet. Let's take some legitimate super chats. Josh Wyatt says,
07:37 if the Niners set the terms of the fight, do you think they can win on points or do they need to
07:41 knock the Lions out? I think they can win them. I think they can win a 12 round decision.
07:51 Every question has to be in boxing metaphor terms today.
