00:00You're not mad at me, Grandy. You're mad at PFF.
00:04You're mad at pro football focus.
00:07I wouldn't say he's necessarily mad at anybody.
00:10I do think that he's feeling a little bit threatened and violated by your judgmentalism over his grades.
00:16We ask him to do something and he does a great job.
00:19He's fine. We just disagree.
00:21Wait a minute.
00:22He's coming down your road, Grandy.
00:23We're going to do Grandy's grades.
00:25You're going to grade his grades.
00:27Wait a minute. Why are we doing them?
00:29We're doing them so that we can just sit there and go, okay.
00:32The whole point is to discuss it.
00:35Oh, I get it.
00:36Yeah.
00:37And I already told you, I'm mad at me.
00:39I'm mad at me for not making a bigger deal out of this yesterday.
00:42That's my bad.
00:44You turned a lot yesterday. I'm surprised.
00:46I did.
00:47Well, I just let it go.
00:49I let it go.
00:50Yeah.
00:51I did.
00:52Adele Dazeem, I let it go.
00:55And then you circled back around.
00:57I did.
00:58You're wickedly talented.
01:00It's tough because we can't really spend four days of like, boy, wasn't that swell?
01:06Gee, this Niner team.
01:08We've done it for 12 years with Steph Curry.
01:10Well, that's because they've won four titles.
01:13And it's harder in a football week.
01:15It's easier to look at things and go, oh, that could have been better.
01:17And that could have been better.
01:18And once you look at the film, Mark, you have a little bit of a better idea.
01:21How does this hit you, Willard?
01:22So I grade seven different groups.
01:24One of them is quarterback.
01:25The lowest grade I gave out, B-plus.
01:28That's what I gave Brock Purdy.
01:29The worst group of 49ers was the quarterback.
01:32How does that make you feel?
01:33That's inflammatory.
01:34Probably the worst 49er that game.
01:36It's clearly incorrect.
01:38That's what I'm saying.
01:40That's why I would show up at office hours.
01:42No, it's not going to work.
01:44All I'm going to tell you is it's obvious to me that when you look at this situation,
01:49there's two ways to look at it.
01:51If you want to grade it based on its wow factor or how it popped,
01:55you're not going to give them an A.
01:57But if you want to grade the assignment that was given, it's clearly an A.
02:03It's clearly an A.
02:05And it's September, which means school is not that old.
02:08And you know what's happening all over the country?
02:11Week one, week two, and week three assignments are being given out.
02:14And they're freaking easy.
02:16And you should be able to get an A.
02:18And all you've got to do is do the assignment.
02:20But if you give out that week one assignment and it's like,
02:24okay, kids, here's your first math assignment.
02:27I want you to go home and review last year and do your flashcards.
02:31Remember, what's five times three, kids?
02:34And that kid comes back in two seconds and he's like, it's 15.
02:37And the teacher's like, you're right.
02:41But there wasn't a lot of pizzazz with the way you said it to me.
02:44So you get a B.
02:47Well, this is not as easy as five times three.
02:49You're oversimplifying.
02:50Actually, yes, it was.
02:52This is more of an algebra problem.
02:55And you've got to show your work.
02:56And he showed his work.
02:57And there was a couple of minuses where there should have been a plus.
02:59And so you get a little point there.
03:01That was an Ottoman game.
03:02You get a point there.
03:03And your feet were up the whole day.
03:05Your feet were up the whole game.
03:07You said it.
03:08I know.
03:09No feet up in the press box, by the way.
03:11You've got to sit properly.
03:12Come over to where I was sitting.
03:13Your whole argument here is just feeding into the Brock Purdy has an easy job.
03:18And he's a product of the system.
03:19He hasn't been asked to do that much.
03:21I'm talking about this game.
03:22I do think he's been asked to do a lot.
03:24Somehow, people seem to be forgetting what has happened over the last year.
03:28One of my favorite listeners who's always interactive on YouTube, Chicago Jason,
03:33he just said the only question I've got left is whether or not Brock Purdy can
03:37come from behind with a drive with two minutes to go.
03:40You didn't watch the Green Bay playoff game?
03:42That was six minutes to go.
03:43It's all the same difference.
03:45It's all the same difference.
03:46I get what he's saying.
03:47It's a final drive, and you need a touchdown.
03:50Can you go get it in a big moment?
03:52If you've got a buck three and no timeouts and you're on your own 30,
03:55that's tougher than when you have two timeouts and six minutes to go.
03:58How much time was left in Cleveland when you needed a field goal?
04:02Probably about three minutes, I think.
04:04I think it was even less.
04:06What did he do?
04:07Did he get him in field goal range or not in the driving rain against the top defense?
04:10Yeah, not close enough, unfortunately.
04:12Well, I mean, whose fault is that?
04:14I mean, he's the special teams player of the week.
04:16He gets an F for that performance.
04:18Yeah, he sure did that week, for sure.
04:20That's all I'm saying.
04:21That's all I'm saying.
04:22I'm not saying that this is true every week.
04:24I'm simply saying it's true this week.
04:26I thought Brock was fantastic in this football game.
04:30He was good.
04:31Because there were next to zero mistakes, and there were no big mistakes.
04:35There were none.
04:36And we're going to go to the phones, I know.
04:38But your analogy of an assignment, it was a good one,
04:41but it was slightly off kilter because it's not as simple as math.
04:45This is more of an essay.
04:47And he was asked to write a four-page, four-quarter essay.
04:50And it was good.
04:51Not the level of vocab you were looking for.
04:54And there was a dangling participle that was in there.
04:56So you get a B plus.
04:57Nice little effort.
04:58There was no dangling participle.
05:00That's what I'm saying.
05:01Yeah, Saubert almost died.
05:03One throw.
05:05Hospital.
05:06Jimmy G.
05:07It was a Jimmy Ono throw, according to my sources in the press box.
05:10Yeah, you were sitting with Bonte.
05:12Ooh, baby!
05:15Jay is calling, and apparently is working right now with a chainsaw.
05:19I mean, you want to talk about threatening.
05:21Good Lord.
05:22Ring-a-ring-a-ring-a-ring-a-ring-a-ring-a-ring-a-ring-a-ring.
05:26I give you a three for your chainsaw.
05:27Appreciate it.
05:28Hey, Jay, what are you doing?
05:29Give you a B plus.
05:31Oh, perfect.
05:32Hi.
05:33Hey, hey, hey.
05:36Yeah, actually, I'm trying to do some work for a girlfriend.
05:41Yeah.
05:42How's it going, Jay?
05:44Oh, man.
05:45No, I'm dealing with a dad that's like, no, my chainsaw is perfect.
05:51I'm like, dude, your chainsaw is not perfect.
05:54Well.
05:55And so that's what I'm, yeah.
05:57The question is, how will you feel when you're done with that work,
06:01and your girl gives you a B plus?
06:05I'll live with that.
06:06Okay.
06:07There you go.
06:08I will absolutely live with it.
06:11All right.
06:12What else, Jay?
06:14Hey, this is the thing, man.
06:16And I know maybe you guys see me on YouTube.
06:20Hey, look, Brock is awesome.
06:24He's awesome.
06:26He is really good.
06:29But he needs to keep doing what he's doing.
06:34And what Niners got to do is draft a QB every freaking year.
06:40Every freaking year.
06:43It's the most important position in sports.
06:48And think of the trade bait that Brock would bring to the Niners.
06:54All right.
06:55I want us to get over this thing about you got to have a franchise QB.
07:02You have to keep them coming in.
07:06This is the United States of America.
07:08There is so much talent in this country for legit quarterbacks
07:15that GMs and scouts will not put their name on.
07:23They will not do it because they got to pay tuitions.
07:26They got to pay for mortgages.
07:28They will not do it.
07:30Don't forget about Buffs.
07:32Jay, I love you, but I'm getting more confused every 10 seconds right now.
07:36Trade Brock party.
07:37Thank you, Jay.
07:38And, Jay, thank you, and good luck with the chainsaw.
07:40Like have you ever seen a Bears game?
07:43Because our entire lives they haven't had a quarterback.
07:46And, oh, by the way, I still don't know.
07:48Steve Stenstrom, no?
07:50Honestly, you cannot.
07:52Now, he had me at the beginning
07:54because I actually don't think it's a stupid idea to draft a quarterback every year
07:58because if you do, well, again.
08:00They're not really good at drafting quarterbacks.
08:02Well.
08:03This one, yeah.
08:05This worked out.
08:06C.J. Beathard, sorry.
08:08Trey Lance, we're going to trade up and stuff.
08:10Well, there was only one that was drafted to be a starter.
08:13Well, they didn't draft Brock Purdy to be a starter,
08:15so you don't get credit for that.
08:17All right.
08:18Then they're 0 for 1.
08:19And a ghastly 0 for 1.
08:21Absolutely.
08:22That's a strikeout with the bases loaded,
08:24and you forgot to bring the bat to the batter's box.
08:26Although they acquired a starter in a different form,
08:29and we had three years of debate as to whether or not that was a hit.
08:34Beathard was a third-round pick.
08:35I know.
08:36That's a pretty high pick.
08:37But it's not drafting to be a starter.
08:38It's not like we're going to get our franchise QB.
08:41Go look at who got drafted in the third round this year.
08:44Anybody who you thought was going to start?
08:46Well, maybe not immediately.
08:49That's not their plan.
08:50They could have gotten Mahomes in that same draft and didn't.
08:52Russell Wilson was drafted in the third round,
08:54and the Seahawks had spent a mint on Matt Flynn the same year
08:58because he was supposed to be their starter.
09:00In principle, yeah, draft a quarterback every year
09:03and draft him late and see what you have,
09:05but that does not go alongside the notion of shop Brock Purdy
09:09or get him on the move because I think that's what Jay was.
09:12I got a great idea, man.
09:14We could trade him.
09:16How high are you?
09:17How high are you?
09:18When they say buy high and sell low.
09:22Yeah.
09:23Yeah.
09:24That's what we're talking about.
09:25Sell high!
09:26I love him, Jay.
09:27Thanks for calling.
09:28Matt in San Jose.
09:30What's up, Matt?
09:34How you guys doing, man?
09:35We're good.
09:38I just had a really specific question about the B-plus thing.
09:42Tear it.
09:45If IU catches the ball,
09:47that is a spectacular play that would fit the criteria of something difficult
09:52that would qualify him for an A, correct?
09:55Speak on it, Matt.
09:56Granny, you want to take this call?
09:58Granny, here.
09:59Matt, talk to Granny.
10:01Granny, I'm going to turn my mic off.
10:02Go.
10:06I just think that the merit should fall on the receivers,
10:08and the skilled position group got an A, and he dropped the daggone ball.
10:13That's a good question.
10:14If it was a catch or not, I'm still calling B-plus.
10:17B-plus grade for Brock Purdy.
10:18That's tough love right there, Matt.
10:20That's good response.
10:21How does that play not qualify him for that criteria?
10:24Well, I'm just saying IU dropping the ball does not change Brock Purdy's
10:28performance in my mind.
10:29Purdy did everything right on that play.
10:31He put it on the money.
10:32His receiver didn't catch it.
10:34That's not on Brock.
10:35That's already factored into my grade.
10:37So you can disagree with my grade, but that doesn't change it for me.
10:41Got you.
10:42Okay.
10:43I personally give him an A-minus.
10:45I feel you on the no spectacular plays thing.
10:48He didn't throw any touchdown passes.
10:49I get it.
10:50But in a situation where you have somebody running for 146 yards,
10:54and you got Debo running for a touchdown,
10:57and you got a whole bunch of other things that are stalling drives that
11:00could give Brock the opportunity to qualify for this A in your mind,
11:05it just feels like the other position groups should take those to marriage
11:09than Brock.
11:10That's where I'm at on it.
11:13All right.
11:14Thank you, Matt.
11:16Do you have anything else to say for yourself?
11:19We just disagree.
11:20It's fine.
11:21Anytime your team kicks six field goals,
11:22I don't think your quarterback should be getting anything more than a B-plus.
11:25That's a great counterpoint right there.
11:27Thank you, Lucas, for your contributions throughout all that.
11:29You were magical.
11:30Say hello.
11:32There has been no answer for why the wide receiver group got no demerits
11:37for Brandon Iyuk's two drops.
11:39I made that point yesterday during Granny's Grades.
11:41I thought it should have been a notch down for the very fact that Iyuk had two
11:46drops.
11:47If it wasn't for Iyuk's drops,
11:48the skill position group would have been an A-plus.
11:51They were incredible otherwise.
11:52So those two drops drop you from an A-plus to an A,
11:56but Brock's like,
11:58I can't even find the awful mistake,
12:01took him from an A-plus all the way to a B-plus.
12:04He wasn't doing anything crazy.
12:07When you get six field goals and two touchdowns,
12:10I think it's hard to go into the A-plus category.
12:13You're not asking for an A-plus.
12:15You just said he would go from an A-plus to a B-plus.
12:17His definition is that you started an A-plus.
12:20He started a C as the baseline.
12:23You start at a C and then you work your way up or down.
12:26Then how the hell did the wide receivers get all the way to an A?
12:31How?
12:32Skill positions is tight ends and running backs and wide receivers.
12:36Jordan Mason ran for 150 yards.
12:38Right.
12:39And Brandon, you dropped a touchdown.
12:41And one other pass.
12:42Dropped another play.
12:44Right?
12:45That's one of a skill group of seven different players.
12:49Do you know that Debo Samuel was supposed to cut off that route?
12:52I'm betting he probably wasn't.
12:56Just saying.
12:57All right.
12:59Let's go to Will in the East Bay.
13:01Hi, Will.
13:02What are you doing?
13:04I'm sitting here watching highlights on another channel.
13:08How are you doing today, Will?
13:10Fantastic.
13:13You sound good.
13:14Thanks, Will.
13:15Hey, listen, I couldn't concur with you more, by the way.
13:18I think he deserves an A.
13:20Let me tell you something about system quarterbacks, okay?
13:25When you get to the end of the finish line,
13:28the greatest system quarterback of all time, okay,
13:32who had an incredible team around him on both sides of the line,
13:35won many NFL championships and the first two Super Bowls.
13:40I'm talking about a guy named Bart Stark.
13:42Now let me talk about production guys, okay?
13:45And we're talking about a great quarter.
13:47By the way, I'm a former season ticket holder, Raiders season ticket holder.
13:51So I'm very, you know, non-biased, okay?
13:54And astute and well-researched.
13:57Go ahead.
13:58Well, I don't know about that.
14:00Some stuff.
14:02Anyway, you got a quarterback named Dan Fouts who, God,
14:06for some reason I wish would have ended up on the Raiders.
14:09John Elway, we all know how close Al Davis got to him.
14:13And then a guy that sniffed a Super Bowl win but didn't win it
14:17and never got to another one.
14:19Major production numbers in Dan Fouts and Dan Marino, okay?
14:23My point is it's a catch-22, all right?
14:27You play a game like they played the other night, all right?
14:31And you got Brock with the hat on smiling on the sideline.
14:34You got Kyle Shanahan probably thinking,
14:36I wish I could bottle that game and I could have a game like that
14:40all the way to the playoffs and to the Super Bowl.
14:43They take it in a second.
14:44You know it and I know it, okay?
14:47And, you know, you got your haters in the derg and a nitpick
14:52and, you know, oh, you know, maybe it's time for a new.
14:56We got the perfect guy in there right now
14:59with the talent on this team.
15:01And, by the way, he is very able to step out of the box
15:05and be anything but a system quarterback, okay?
15:09He throws that ball before the receivers, you know,
15:12make their cut or their turn.
15:14He is very capable of that.
15:16In a sense of urgency, if he has to scramble,
15:19he can do that and get the first down, okay?
15:22And, by the way, Willard, I'm glad you stepped off that fence.
15:26I love it when you're edgy.
15:28Yeah, edgy Willard.
15:29Yeah, thanks, Will.
15:31Yeah, go ahead, Will.
15:32Bring it home, Will.
15:34Bring it home, Will.
15:35I love you guys.
15:36Love you too, Will.
15:37Anyway, that's all I got.
15:38Appreciate it.
15:39Thanks, Will.
15:40He wanted to say something to you.
15:41The history of the NFL with Will.
15:43Yeah, you kind of jumped him.
15:44It's okay.
15:45He wanted to compliment you.
15:46If it was that important, he would have led with it
15:48in his three-minute call.
15:51Will made some points there.
15:53He did.
15:54Dan Fouts, St. Ignatius High School.
15:56Correct.
15:57Left-marine Catholic.
15:58Couldn't hack it after a year.
15:59Oregon Duck.
16:00According to sources.
16:01Mark Randy.
16:02Yeah.
16:03It's not time for you to curry favor with the Grandy Man.
16:04I don't need to.
16:05I don't need to.
16:06There's so much in the bank there.
16:07I mean, we could fight every day for a year,
16:10and he'd still ding me whenever I asked.
16:13Did you just make that up that Dan Fouts started MC?
16:16No, I did not make that up.
16:18I believe he played freshman ball and transferred to SI,
16:20and the rest is ongoing history.
16:22It's not complete history.
16:23Do you believe that or do you know that?
16:24That he couldn't hack it?
16:25No.
16:26You said you believe that.
16:27Oh, no.
16:28Yes, I wasn't there with him.
16:29Freshman ball at MC.
16:30I'm not positive if he played freshman ball,
16:32but I know he went there as a freshman.
16:34Okay, great.
16:35And I always say that he couldn't hack it because
16:36the Marine Catholic looks down on St. Ignatius.
16:39And I won't mention Reardon because I don't want Chaskey to blow up my phone.
16:43I like Reardon.
16:44Is that still the case?
16:45The Marine Catholic looks down on that side?
16:47Yeah, the whole what's down on the, yeah.
16:49Well, not really.
16:50Okay.
16:51In football, they don't want to play us.
16:52And I say us because I'm an alum, Jared Goff and I.
16:55But a lot of the Marine kids who think that they're better than the rest of us by going to SI,
17:00no, you're just tacking on two hours in the car.
17:02SI took Tam behind the woodshed last week.
17:07In football?
17:08Yeah.
17:09There you have it.
17:10Hope you got there early, kids.
17:12I can confirm, by the way, sorry to cut you off there.
17:14Fouts attended Marine Catholic High School just north of San Francisco.
17:18I didn't doubt him.
17:19Not sure if he played football, though, is the real question.
17:21For his first two years.
17:23Oh, there you have it.
17:24There you go.
17:25Okay.
17:26Tony in Fremont is next up to Rip Mark Grandy.
17:28Hi, Tony.
17:29Thank you for calling.
17:30Thank you for taking my call.
17:32I work in the boonies.
17:33Can you guys hear me okay?
17:34Yes.
17:35You are loud and clear.
17:36All right.
17:37Hey, as a supervisor in an industry that's not cool like yours, we have to do performance reviews.
17:45And you get four in all of these different categories.
17:49You get four choices.
17:51Needs improvement, meets expectation, exceeds, and outstanding.
17:54And I always start with tell me what the expectations for your job as a project manager.
18:00And they list out all of these great things you have to do because that's your expectation.
18:05And I want to make sure no one gets their feelings hurt when they get a meets expectation when they grade themselves an outstanding.
18:15So I think this is one of those situations where the expectation for an NFL quarterback, there's only 32 start in jobs.
18:23You have to do something outstanding to earn that A or A+.
18:29Plus, did I hear right?
18:31He got an 88 out of PFF.
18:33Yeah, 89 actually.
18:3489.4 was the number.
18:36But Tony, that's a completely different grading system.
18:41Yeah.
18:42That's a completely different grading system.
18:45It's not like that at PFF.
18:54100 is the max grade.
18:56Understood.
18:57But as you know, it's not based on a grading system in the same form that Grandy's doing it like when we all went to school.
19:02It's not 90s and A and 80s and B.
19:04No.
19:05And if you look at the 49ers, I think we can all agree that the 49ers played a pretty good game.
19:09They did.
19:10Offensively, they only have two players who are above an 80.
19:13Trent Williams is 81.6.
19:15And he gave up zero pressures.
19:16Right.
19:17Dominic Pooney, we're all raving about how he played.
19:2079.1.
19:21So the grade deflation from pro football focus is such that Brock Purdy was number one among quarterbacks.
19:29So by a curve, if you grade it on a curve, he would get an A.
19:33I know, but if it were Grandy, he was the top guy in the league.
19:38PFF gives him an A+.
19:40Grandy, B+.
19:41B+.
19:42Yeah.
19:43I'm going to like Grandy.
19:44By the way, that's fine.
19:45I don't care who you roll with, but I'll say this.
19:47I can't believe I just said that.
19:49Tony brings up the idea that, quote, the baseline, the expectation for an NFL quarterback is that you do what Brock just did.
19:57So that's just meeting expectations.
20:00You know what I want to get Tony for Christmas?
20:02The Red Zone channel because you ain't seen anybody else QB.
20:08If you think that what you saw from Brock on Monday night was a flat line of meeting expectations,
20:15if that's the expectation of all NFL quarterbacks, I'd say there are about five in the league.
20:24Like, quarterbacking was brutal this weekend.
20:28You got dudes all over.
20:30Have you watched what slightly, apparently below meeting expectations is?
20:35Did you see Daniel Jones play football?
20:38Don't just cherry-pick the bums.
20:40No, but I could do this at all.
20:41Did you see Joe Burrow?
20:42Well, they had no weapons.
20:44So, Jamar Chase didn't play.
20:47How about Baker Mayfield?
20:48How did he play?
20:49He played great.
20:50He was fantastic.
20:51I'd give him an A, Tibbs.
20:52I'd give him an A.
20:53That's hard for you.
20:54He was fantastic.
20:55How was Justin Herbert?
20:57How is Justin Herbert ever?
21:00Has he ever had an A game?
21:02Well, he's going to have a down year this year.
21:04They don't throw the ball.
21:05Well, I had to go to someone who went to Oregon to really get under his skin.
21:08There you go.
21:09Well played.
21:10Justin Herbert is overrated.
21:12Justin Herbert would get not a very good grade because guess what?
21:16They ran the ball endlessly and they didn't even need to do anything through the air.
21:21And they have no weapons.
21:22Okay.
21:23He wasn't asked to do much and they won the game.
21:25Doesn't that mean he should get a good grade?
21:26No.
21:27No, that's not what I'm saying.
21:28Like, you're completely discounting, I would argue, all of the good throws he makes
21:33because you've seen him so many times.
21:35You've now decided that these are just run of the mill.
21:39And by the way, you want him to make a wild play?
21:42He did.
21:43He did.
21:44And Mr. Missy Camp blew the whole thing up.
21:47That was an elite, elite wow throw.
21:51And number 11 blew it up.
21:54Blew it up.
21:55It was a great route.
21:56If it wasn't for 11, that's not even available.
22:00Great route by old Mr. Missy Camp is what you called him?
22:04Mr. Missy Camp.
22:05Not John Mellencamp.
22:06Mr. I don't want to watch the tape because I'm scared of it.
22:10Wow.
22:11I think it was a horror film.
22:12Yeah, exactly.
