00:00Or stop saying that.
00:02And that leads me to Brock Purdy.
00:06The boss man was texting us very early this morning.
00:10I don't even know if the boss man sleeps anymore.
00:12Look, look, look, look, look.
00:14You're starting with Giants?
00:16Well, he's probably not happy about that.
00:19But we need to get that off our chest.
00:21There's a lot going on there.
00:22Just bookmark it.
00:23There's a lot of noise coming out of 24 Willie Mays Plaza.
00:27I like saying that.
00:2824 Willie Mays Plaza.
00:29You do, you do, you do.
00:31You know, 49, 49.
00:33They need to bar a little way.
00:34You know, Bonte, like Superman, will have his suit in his charger
00:38or whatever, the Tesla, whatever car you're driving.
00:40Like, and he will, like, spin into journalist mode the second.
00:44We are having a press conference today at 1030.
00:47Bonte's going to be like, da, da, da, da.
00:49Pull off the sweatshirt and go right into journalism mode.
00:52He prefers Bruce Wayne over Clark Kent.
00:54I do, I do, I do.
00:55You know what, you're right.
00:56I really do.
00:57He's got Alfred out there.
00:58Alfred?
00:59How about him?
01:00Is that Anna?
01:01Anna, is this Alfred?
01:02Oh, those are going to go in a number of different directions there.
01:06But we're going to just dip it in the bud.
01:07I like to Bruce Wayne.
01:08No, don't talk about that.
01:09Yeah.
01:10So, look, look, look.
01:13I had a video out last night.
01:15That was a horrible one.
01:16I'm so sorry.
01:17No, no, no, no, no.
01:18It's all good.
01:19I'm on my fly here.
01:20No, no, no, no, no.
01:21It's all good.
01:22It's all good.
01:23Anna, I love you.
01:24She's asleep.
01:25Trust me, she's asleep.
01:26She has a snorer right next to her.
01:27Look, look, look.
01:28I had a video out last night talking about Stafford and Purdy.
01:33And he sent us a text this morning.
01:355.05 a.m.
01:36And he texted us.
01:38It took Stafford 13 years to win a Super Bowl.
01:4113!
01:42He was the first pick of the draft.
01:44Purdy was the last pick.
01:46And has played one full season.
01:48There is way too much pressure on him from everyone.
01:52Everywhere.
01:53It just hit me last night.
01:55It's way too much pressure.
01:58Now, Matt's been in this market, I think, since 2017, if I'm not mistaken.
02:022017 winner.
02:05This is the way we roll with quarterbacks in San Francisco.
02:10This is the way life is in San Francisco.
02:14Did we all forget about Jimmy Garoppolo and the dialogue around him?
02:17Jimmy, what about Colin Kaepernick taking over for Alex Smith?
02:21You want to talk about pressure?
02:23Kaep, if you make one mistake, the Alex Brigade is coming after you.
02:28And they still came after him after losing the Super Bowl.
02:31Alex would have won that game.
02:32Yeah, but he wouldn't have got there.
02:33Yeah, he wouldn't have came, rallied from 17-0 against L.A.
02:36And he wouldn't have dropped 45 on Aaron Rodgers on a Saturday night.
02:39There's no chance.
02:40No chance.
02:41I'm afraid that it's going to have to be Jimmy Garoppolo that gets it done.
02:44Okay, so the Matt Stafford thing is interesting.
02:46Because I get where he's going.
02:47It takes time.
02:48But that's Detroit.
02:49Yeah, but that's where I'm going with this.
02:51When you're drafted by a team that goes 0-16,
02:54let me just read his record with that team year after year after year.
02:592-8.
03:001-2.
03:0110-6.
03:02Wow, what a great year with Megatron.
03:044-12.
03:057-9.
03:0611-5.
03:077-9.
03:089-7.
03:099-7.
03:106-10.
03:11Where I'm going with this is that at no point did anyone even think
03:15Detroit was ever a playoff team, let alone a Super Bowl contender.
03:21At no point did they have seven all pros on one side of the ball.
03:25Right.
03:26At no point.
03:27No point.
03:28No point.
03:29So when you think about Purdy, when you have a year like you did a season
03:33ago, franchise record for passing yards, four guys with 1,000 scrimmage
03:38yards, you're in the MVP running, you're a hot shot.
03:42You have all the commercials.
03:44Pressure.
03:45I mean, just wait for them to sign a new deal.
03:48This is nothing, folks.
03:50But also, what we've been waiting on a lot of us, how does he do without a
03:55superstar?
03:56People want to see it.
03:57They want to see what you do without a premium player.
04:00Since Joe Montana, my entire life, we have, yeah, but the quarterback for
04:08the 49ers.
04:09Steve Young.
04:10Yeah, but he's not Joe.
04:11Yeah, he can't get through the Cowboys.
04:13Yeah, but what's he going to look like without Jerry?
04:16But yeah, but what's he going to look like without Bill Walsh?
04:19Yeah, but he can't beat the Green Bay Packers.
04:21Exactly.
04:22Yeah, but he couldn't do it without Holmgren.
04:23He couldn't do it without Shanahan.
04:25Okay, then Garcia.
04:26Yeah, but he's not Steve.
04:28He's not Joe.
04:29Jeff Garcia never gets the credit.
04:31I know he said some things a few years ago, was kind of out of pocket.
04:34But you know what?
04:35But as a player, Jeff Garcia played his ass off, man.
04:38They had some moments.
04:39They went to two playoff appearances.
04:40I believe he threw for 30 touchdowns one year, and I know 4,000
04:43back-to-back years, Pro Bowls, back-to-back.
04:45Look, he was scrappy.
04:46That team was never the best team in the division.
04:48No, not even close.
04:49And then, obviously, Alex Smith.
04:51Yeah, but he's got, like, 8 million coordinators.
04:53He'll never be even close to Jeff Garcia.
04:55It took Alex Smith for us to appreciate Jeff Garcia.
04:58And then, finally, Alex breaks through.
05:00Yeah, but, I mean, he's thrown to Brett Swain, right?
05:02There's always this yeah, but when it comes to the Niner Quarterbacks,
05:05and there's always pressure.
05:06Like, this thing about Purdy, Purdy has established himself,
05:09and there are certain professions in life, Bonte,
05:13pressure is baked into the job.
05:16Let's just go sports real quick.
05:17That's quarterback job.
05:18That's quarterback.
05:19That's quarterbacks.
05:20You think Jalen Hurts is not getting pressure
05:22in Philadelphia right now?
05:23He signed a $200 million deal.
05:25We just played the sound, and Joe DeCameron said,
05:27they're going to revolutionize football.
05:29It's going to be, you don't even know what's coming.
05:31They're ready to run up and out of town.
05:33I mean, this is the person.
05:34Caleb Williams is supposed to be the savior of the Bears organization.
05:38Well, it's two games, and he's getting beat up.
05:40No, but you get what I'm saying.
05:41You don't think he has pressure?
05:42Big time pressure.
05:44Caleb has pressure.
05:45Deshaun Watson has pressure.
05:47Kyler has pressure down in Arizona.
05:50You know what I'm saying?
05:51Let's go outside of football.
05:52Justin Herbert.
05:53What about shortstop of the Yankees, Anthony Volpe?
05:56Hey, Anthony, you better not screw this up offensively for us.
06:01We're trying to win a World Series.
06:02Let's just think about Eric Judge.
06:03Once the postseason hits, your 15-plus home runs don't matter.
06:09Your RBIs, your triple crowd does not matter.
06:12You better win the World Series.
06:14Shaquille O'Toole is about to go 50-50.
06:17And guess what?
06:19It won't matter if they don't win the World Series.
06:22That's pressure.
06:24I totally agree.
06:25That's what happens at premium positions on premium teams.
06:28The guy who plays opposite LeBron on whatever team LeBron's on,
06:31LeBron has no pressure.
06:33You have all the pressure.
06:35If you fumble a little, if this team loses,
06:38even if you play well, you're not good enough.
06:40Am I wrong?
06:41I'll go Real Madrid.
06:42Mbappe.
06:43There's a lot of pressure.
06:44To continue to win Champions League,
06:46Champions League, I have to leave it PSG.
06:49Mbappe's got a lot of pressure.
06:51Now, you're going to think this is stupid,
06:52but I just wrote down professions in life where you join that profession
06:56and there's pressure.
06:58Police officer.
06:59There's pressure.
07:00And I know people have their feelings on police officer.
07:03There's a lot of responsibility.
07:06And every day when you're working,
07:07something can happen and someone is relying on you.
07:10Day one, immense pressure to not screw up and to keep our community safe.
07:15Tremendous pressure.
07:16Thank you for first responders in general.
07:18I would just throw them all in there.
07:19Police, firefighters, EMT workers.
07:22Every single minute of your job could be someone's life at risk.
07:27And I think about this all the time.
07:28You talked about hospitalization earlier.
07:31Working in a hospital.
07:32These people are God's people.
07:33These people are out here serving our community
07:36and some of the sickest, most vulnerable people in our society.
07:40You don't think doctors feel that pressure?
07:42Absolutely.
07:43How about a lawyer?
07:44A lawyer takes that job and they know this person's life
07:48and their livelihood is in my hands, one way or the other.
07:51Well, I'll tell you what.
07:52As you're listening to 95-7-the-game, KGMZ FM in AC1 San Francisco
07:56and Odyssey Sports Station, always live on the free Odyssey app,
07:59I'll just throw myself into this pool.
08:02There was a lot of pressure on me when I joined 95-7-the-game
08:07and pairing up with an absolute Hall of Famer in broadcasting.
08:12There was a lot of pressure to hold my own.
08:15There was a lot of pressure.
08:16There was a lot of people smirking.
08:18I had a person tell me, it's like, boy,
08:20those people don't think you're going to last two weeks, man.
08:22It was a lot of pressure.
08:23Waiting for your downfall.
08:24That's pressure.
08:25Pressure.
08:26Television.
08:27I had to replace the guy.
08:28That's a great point.
08:29I had to follow him up.
08:30Guys, been excellent in television for over 30 years.
08:33Hey, you're going to host Warners Pre and Pulse,
08:35follow up the guy who got you into business.
08:37What?
08:38That's pressure.
08:40That's a great point.
08:41There's pressure in all walks of life.
08:42There's pressure to perform every single day, 6 and 10.
08:44There's pressure to perform and get ratings.
08:46There's pressure on the boss man to keep the radio station afloat.
08:49There's pressure everywhere.
08:51But how much pressure?
08:52So you can't do anything.
08:53Pressure is a compliment, actually.
08:55If I'm Brock Purdy and I say, boy,
08:57there's all this pressure on me to perform at a high level,
08:59you know what?
09:00Fine.
09:01Because I think he embraces it.
09:02I actually think this young man embraces it and said,
09:04yeah, I was the last pick.
09:05I've been doubted.
09:06I damn near went through an entire draft without even being selected.
09:09I was already on the phone with teams thinking about,
09:11okay, I'm going to be an undirected free agent.
09:13Maybe I'll go sign here.
09:14I'll sign here.
09:15I'll sign there.
09:16So the pressure, he understands.
09:18If he understands the history of the San Francisco 49ers
09:21and the history of this fan base
09:23and the history of what has come with this organization,
09:26then Brock Purdy better embraced the pressure.
09:28Absolutely.
09:29He better embrace it.
09:30And you know what?
09:31There is a lot of pressure on him because we've got to think about
09:33how much money we're going to give you in the future.
09:35And now we've got to play without Chris McCaffrey, D. Bill Samuel,
09:38and we absolutely have to get back to the playoffs.
09:41My favorite is the Tony Soprano line of all the time.
09:44It's like, you don't know what it's like to be a number one.
09:46Right?
09:47When he says that to Syl, he's sitting there and he's like,
09:49do you know how difficult it is for me to be number one?
09:52Everybody wants to be number one,
09:54but a number two doesn't realize how difficult it is to be a number one.
09:59Heavy is the crown, Bonte, and if you want to be the king
10:01and you want to get through the crucible
10:03and you want to pull the sword out of the stone,
10:06pressure is baked into the job.
10:10It's baked into it.
10:11So to your point, they say we're putting too much pressure on Purdy.
10:14No, we're not.
10:15That's part of being the quarterback.
10:18When you take up being the quarterback,
10:20you're going to get all of the heat when the team loses
10:23and you're going to have to spread the praise around when your team wins.
10:27When I watch Cam Ward, and I'm going off a little here,
10:29but I'm watching Cam Ward and he's getting a lot of credit for winning down in Miami.
10:33And this is a kid in college who's just tearing it up.
10:35He went to Washington State and transferred to the U.
10:38And I listen to him and he goes, man, my offensive line's been protecting me
10:41and they're doing such a great job.
10:43And I'm just listening to this guy give praise to everyone.
10:45I go, wow, this kid gets it.
10:47I don't know if he's going to be a great football player in the NFL,
10:50but I know when it comes to his demeanor and understanding the big picture,
10:54boy, there's a lot of pressure to win at the University of Miami.
10:57I know we don't think so, but this guy looks like he's prepared for it.
11:01Tom Brady.
11:02Do you think Tom Brady knew there was pressure replacing Drew Bledsoe?
11:05There's pressure everywhere.
11:06Absolutely.
11:07And going back to LeBron.
11:08To me, I love this.
11:09But going back to LeBron and the pressure,
11:11you say there's always pressure on the guy who plays alongside LeBron.
11:14Well, LeBron's had the ultimate pressure from the day he was on Sports Illustrated.
11:18On the cover of Sports Illustrated as a high school player.
11:20Because when I saw that, when he was at St. Vincent-St. Mary's,
11:24I thought of Felipe Lopez.
11:26Now, Spadonia loved him, and I know who Felipe Lopez is.
11:28But he was a guy who attended St. John's, was from New York City.
11:32He was on the cover of Sports Illustrated dunking.
11:35He was like in the air like Jordan over the New York skyline in Manhattan
11:39as the next best thing.
11:40He's like the coolest cover ever.
11:42And it didn't work out for him.
11:43That's a 30-for-30 on Felipe Lopez.
11:45He's doing a lot of charitable work in the Dominican Republic
11:47and I talked to Mully about it.
11:49Because obviously Mully went to St. John's and he knew all about it.
11:52That was pressure.
11:53It would have been easy for LeBron to succumb to that pressure.
11:56Oh, we got a break. Bye-bye.
11:57Well, what was that, Levin?
11:59Let me end this on a good note.
12:01In the words of young Sanquin and young Guido, you're out there.
12:05Pressure makes diamonds.
12:07Let me cook.
12:09Don't worry about his hand, Bonte.
12:11Don't worry about that.
12:12He's giving me all these head signals, dude.
12:15Did he give you the Trump meme where Trump saw the guy across the way?
12:19I'm going to stop looking at you.
12:20I'm going to just look at Spadoni.
12:21Yeah, look at me.
12:22Pressure makes diamonds, Spadoni.
12:23I'm going to look at Dibbs.
12:24I'm going to look at the fat head of Shaski.
12:26I'm going to look at the fat head of myself.
12:27It's like in Superman 3 when Richard Pryor was at that mill
12:31and Superman grabbed a thing of dirt and he squeezed it in his hand
12:35and he pulled out a diamond.
12:36There's too many Superman references this morning.
12:39We've got Superman. We've got Sopranos.
