00:00 Let's start at quarterback Brock Purdy 24 years old coming off a great season is he?
00:07 Bound to regress and then you got big Sam Darnold free agent may have a new backup next year. I
00:12 Feel like
00:16 Brock Purdy is in he's in the catbird seat right now Brock
00:20 You've done a great job. I mean, what else can we talk about?
00:25 It's not only
00:27 Did you lead your team in the most one of the hardest positions in sports let alone the team?
00:34 But you did it with grace
00:36 You never folded
00:38 We never saw any character issues from you any
00:41 inconsistencies of who you said you are as a man and what we saw on the field and as a person behind the mic and
00:46 right now I feel like you've got a feather in your cap because
00:51 Morally you hold the high ground on this team
00:56 Right now you're the purest soul walk in the lock walk in the halls of the 49ers locker room right now
01:01 You are without blemish you are without blame you have done everything that you do
01:06 they've been asked you to do and you need to stay that way because
01:10 That is currency Brock
01:13 it's social currency and
01:16 In this soup that you swim in for the 49ers
01:20 You need social currency by the boatload in order for you to get respected
01:25 For people to follow you and for you to be able to be protected against the media and your teammates. So
01:32 You stay the man that you are
01:35 but one thing that we need to do is start talking about the football side of things because
01:40 Personally, I feel like you're as perfect as perfect can be as far as the narrative of this football is because football team is concerned
01:47 Brock we gotta work on your health
01:50 As far as staying on top of your elbow. All right, that's an ongoing thing. Also Brock
01:55 accuracy
01:58 short to intermediate accuracy and
02:00 Decision-making needs to be something that I'm sure you're gonna look at but that's something that we would like to see
02:05 An uptick for you. I feel like throughout all different positions
02:10 Sit that pre-exit that predates you and the ones that are here now is that we there's always something about every position
02:19 That we specifically need to see and it may not be
02:22 something that some people deem is easy or some people deem as hard but it's just your personal cross the bear and
02:28 yours is
02:30 your processing and decision-making as well as your accuracy you've got to work on that and I
02:36 Feel like you'll be right where you need to be next year. That's how I feel about Brock
02:40 Yeah, I want to say Brock's trending up and that this position is getting better
02:45 you got a young quarterback who should be improving but at the same time like the book on Brock is getting better and
02:52 This is right where an unserious quarterback like Jimmy Garoppolo would start to get worse because he would stay the same and
03:00 the game plan against him would get more and more sophisticated as like
03:03 You know his past chart gets more and more defined
03:07 So again, I think Brock Purdy's an extremely hard worker who is honest with himself and the taxes weaknesses
03:13 But I think we saw it at the end of the season
03:15 teams were starting to figure out in zone coverage sort of anticipating where he was gonna throw and then in man-to-man coverage making it tough
03:22 For him to fit passes into tight windows with his lack of arm strength
03:25 So for him, I mean, he's not gonna get that that much stronger of an arm
03:29 But he needs to be careful that all that he doesn't start throwing a bunch of interceptions gunslinger Brock with the peace shooter arm
03:37 Sorry, I get you you're out there in a gunfight with
03:41 The least powerful gun out there gotta be careful you the main difference between him and Jimmy right now through their careers is
03:48 the interceptions and the mobility and
03:52 The interceptions could become a problem for Brock. They were a problem for him in college. So as long he's
03:59 Doesn't try to do too much and I don't think he will I think this would be something more when he gets paid
04:04 Once he gets $50 million a year, are you gonna start throwing picks?
04:07 But I think it's look he should be fine, but I just want to see him run more
04:11 I've been talking about it all week if he uses his mobility more
04:15 There's I think he has more playmaker in him and he can be even better more dangerous. I agree with you
04:21 I mean him being able to be using his mobility
04:23 more is something that I feel like
04:25 It's gonna be have to be a little bit more deliberate than it is
04:29 Accidental because I feel like that's in certain ways most teams were a little surprised by Brock's mobility
04:35 I mean, I think that's gonna be a part of his scouting report now that I do that
04:40 I don't think was there earlier in the year is
04:42 His escapability from the pocket how fast and quick twitchy is and how he can make you pay with getting on the ground
04:49 That's one thing about Brock that
04:52 Lamar found with being athletic is look bro
04:55 Can't nobody tell you to get down but you but once you start getting hit a couple of times
04:59 You'll start understanding when you need to get down
05:02 I mean at one point we were talking about trade the same thing with Trey learning
05:06 Nobody can tell you when to get down. That's something you got to feel so I do agree
05:11 It's gonna be something it's gonna be an element of his game that
05:14 Defenses are gonna be looking for more. I feel like at times during the season he picked
05:20 Perfectly, um, he picked situations in the game when it perfectly utilize it
05:26 But it's gonna be harder because like we said, it's gonna be more time on test. We have more film on Brock
05:31 So you're gonna get a more curated attack week in it. Yeah, that being said I still have
05:36 Confidence in Brock Purdy after this season what he did in the Super Bowl. I have a lot of confidence in him and
05:41 Another reason I think this position group is on the rise is I think probably Darnold will leave
05:47 Maybe he'll get a starting job elsewhere. Maybe not but I think
05:50 Maybe I'm hoping I'd like to see what Steve Sloak and Brian greasy can do in the draft again
05:57 They drafted one quarterback. It was Brock Purdy with the last pick. Give him another chance
06:01 Draft a backup. It could be in round seven. It could be undrafted, but I'd like to see what this front office can do
06:07 I think they might be ahead of the curve on what to look for in college quarterbacks
06:11 Get Sam Darnold. It ain't him
06:14 Bringing someone you so I think they could have a better backup next year. I like that. Yeah. Yeah, see what the super chat say
06:22 Errol Tolbert, I see a scenario where the Niners are 500 Club next year. What's your way too early prediction?
06:28 Mmm, that's a good question
06:31 That's way too early. It is way too early. We haven't even gotten the guys off the team yet. Yeah, I'm sorry
06:37 I was too early
06:38 Corey Soto people talk about purrs character name a top 10 quarterback in the league who doesn't present
06:42 Professional and who doesn't present professional and of character BP best be up on character because his physical traits don't allow for anything else
06:52 So you're basically saying he's supposed to be professional. Yeah
06:56 It's just remarkable in contrast to his predecessor Jimmy Garoppolo who wasn't particularly
07:01 Don't say Kenny Kenny 757 says my guys
07:06 Why is so difficult for the personnel to do the necessary things and improve and win?
07:11 Oh line keep EA and delegate OC duties to an actual OC
07:14 well, because the conversation is it's like think about a game of like
07:20 Telephone right the app the the object of the game is
07:24 It's supposed to get more and more difficult to get a message through with them with the number of participants on the telephone line
07:32 Yeah, when me and grant are talking one-to-one, that's a very short line of communication. We can say I like this
07:39 I don't like this. There's no motives and we can get straight to the crux of the issue. Well, you're dealing with an
07:44 Organization these picks last in infamy as far as a regime is concerned. So some people are politically attached to players
07:52 There's money that's been put on players certain players
07:54 There's an expectation around a guy that needs to get things done versus them pulling the plug on a guy
08:00 I'm just going to go get a new guy, you know, there's a lot of you know
08:03 There's a lot of human error in a way quite frankly why decisions are can't get
08:08 Succinctly made is um, because there's just motives
08:11 Yep
08:14 Pardon Diaz Patton Diaz says grant was good brother coach you a real one. Yeah
08:19 Ethan and says seems to me like the team is losing faith in Kyle
08:24 Well, I haven't been around the team in a few weeks, but it's hard to be super confident him
08:30 You
08:32 (upbeat music)
