00:00 Brock Purdy had a lot at stake too. It wasn't just Steve Wilkes Brock Purdy had a ton at stake in this game
00:04 Three bad games in a row
00:06 He had to give a speech in front of the team essentially
00:09 apologizing for losing games and turning the ball over if he turned the ball over at all in this game and they lost
00:14 Would have been very uncomfortable for him and his future would have been a little murky. He didn't do that
00:19 Now his first touchdown pass look like he was about to get picked he threw that ball into a sea of hands and
00:25 It landed in Iuk's hand somehow cool. He's had a lot of bad luck the last few weeks
00:30 It's about time that look that luck evened out but
00:33 Just think about how much pressure Brock Purdy was under
00:36 Three losses in a row Trent Williams back Debo Samuel back Christian McCavery healthy. No excuses
00:42 defense playing well
00:45 Turn the ball over you throw that pick in the end zone after rolling left
00:48 It's code blue. It's meltdown time
00:51 instead
00:53 He gets an early lead in cruises
00:55 He throws three touchdown passes. He has a quarterback rating. That's nearly perfect
01:00 And so I guess we're seeing that Brock Purdy
01:04 Hasn't gotten figured out
01:07 He's not a bad quarterback when he has a lead. He's tough to beat
01:11 What he's trailing in the fourth quarter. I'm not really sure what he's gonna do. I
01:15 Haven't seen good stuff from him with no situations, but it seems like when this team is fully healthy
01:21 They're not gonna be in those situations very much unless they're playing. I don't know Philly or Kansas City
01:26 There was a ton at stake for Brock Purdy in this game and he rose to the occasion as much as anyone on the team
01:33 as much as Steve Wilkes
01:35 He was calm to rolling out pointing redirecting people
01:38 Brock Purdy is really interesting because
01:42 The big reason he's so successful is because he came into the league more developed than most young quarterbacks
01:50 He's more developed than Trevor Lawrence right now
01:52 Not as gifted but more developed plays the position better
01:59 Brock Purdy plays the position processes understand his cut understands coverages goes through progressions better than a lot of veterans
02:08 Which is why I always wondered how much better can he get because the whole Brock Purdy story is how advanced he is
02:14 He's advanced
02:17 but limited
02:19 because he's a little fella and his arm isn't that strong and yet
02:23 We see how he had response to adversity now three losses
02:28 six turnovers
02:30 He addresses the team he it takes accountability
02:33 He watches all of his bad play for two weeks comes out and has one of the best performances of his career
02:37 Seem calm didn't seem stressed at all, you know seem stressed Trevor Lawrence
02:47 I'm watching this game. I'm thinking I'd rather have Brock Purdy than Trevor Lawrence. Maybe I'm crazy
02:50 Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe you put Brock Purdy on the Jaguars that he would have struggled to and Trevor Lawrence would have been great
02:55 on the Niners, I don't know but
02:57 Brock Purdy was very impressive in this game got lucky a little bit but bounced back from a really bad spot
03:05 So credit to Brock Purdy
03:10 *Outro Music*
