00:00Mean, is that really is that really the what we're gonna do Justin Herbert throws three interceptions all year
00:07Makes the playoffs in the AFC which is stacked in other words out plays Joe Burrow
00:14Works his way through the AFC West, which is no joke
00:18makes the playoffs then he gets to a
00:21January Saturday ball start bouncing off the tight ends hands and now we've decided he sucks, right?
00:29Is that really that's how we're gonna do this I
00:33Don't know man. And so yes for a lot of us
00:36I think what we saw this weekend our minds do go to how do you apply this to Brock Purdy and for a lot of
00:41people they thought that Brock made a
00:44Bunch of money over the weekend and I'm like, no, I think you just started thinking about it differently
00:49He already made that money right and the money is there and I do think that when we look at all these things
00:55We have to look at it more
00:56Globally, and it's not just the quarterback and it's very rare that a quarterback does everything nice
01:03Nice opener on a Monday
01:05Yes
01:05But it's very rare that the quarterback does everything and I think about
01:09Patrick Mahomes right now with Kansas City if they win a third straight Super Bowl
01:13It probably won't be because he goes out and throws for 380 and four touchdowns in a shootout. Nope
01:19This team is now built differently and it's built to where he makes plays on third down
01:25He makes plays in the red zone. He keeps the defense in a spot where they can support him
01:30They run the ball a little bit. They have a great tight end
01:33and so if he wins
01:35It's not really because of him like if Baltimore and Buffalo and I'm fascinated by that game
01:41It feels like it's gonna be a QB versus QB
01:44But it's really not like you just said
01:47Buffalo's got a great running back and so does Baltimore and so it might come down to things other than
01:52This quarterback against that quarterback
01:54But the net the networks are gonna bill it Josh against Lamar and we're all gonna talk about Josh against Lamar
02:00They're already calling MVP battle people
02:03They call the MVP ball, which is so stupid because all of this is complimentary football Brock last year was better than he was
02:11This year because well, he was better but also because of 17 other things better line better coaching better weapons
02:20McCaffrey healthy Iuke healthy Trent healthy all the rest of it
02:24And so if you want to just look at Brock versus Brock, yeah, he was better last year
02:28But this year they were better. And so I do think that coming off this weekend
02:33I'm more focused on that part of it like Justin Herbert
02:38He wasn't good, but they were just as bad as he was or worse, right? I could argue. Yeah
02:44Yeah, or worse, I mean so that's kind of the thing like these pinning the wins and losses solely on the quarterback
02:51I just think it lacks a lot of context. It's I'm not saying it's unfair. Look I get it. They make 58 million dollars
02:58So whatever boohoo, they've got to deal with Twitter. That's fine. I don't really care about that
03:03I do care about it though when as a football fan of any particular team
03:08You're assessing who you want as your quarterback
03:12This is the way I would kind of look at it because we do this where it's either okay a
03:19have they won a Super Bowl and
03:21Then the next tier is kind of like do you feel like they could win multiple Super Bowls?
03:25And then the next year is do you feel like you can win a Super Bowl?
03:29And then there's the guys where you're like, no, I don't think they could win a Super Bowl to me Brock is at minimum
03:36He's in the they can win a Super Bowl, right? He's having the one my gosh he came
03:41I don't know how to like measure this but seemingly inches from winning what he would play
03:47He went to overtime of a Super Bowl and had a lead in overtime of the Super Bowl
03:54So like he's at minimum one of those guys
03:57And if that's how you feel if that's the category you put him in and I'll give you other names
04:02So it won't be so damn offensive because when I use the word elite six months ago, I'm still getting tweets about of course
04:08but if I'm gonna put him in the same boat as a Jared Goff as
04:12A Jalen Hurts, these are you know?
04:14These are other people who have been to the Super Bowl and lost a close game Joe burrow
04:19I would put yeah burrow I burrow they went to the Super Bowl, but he's clearly better than Brock
04:24I would put him at the same level as Matt Stafford now, right?
04:28Not necessarily who Matt was ten years ago, but who Matt Stafford is now
04:33I put him a tick above the Baker Mayfield's of the world who he's just too careless with the ball
04:41We saw it again last night. Sam. Darnold's an interesting one
04:43yeah, they might they might make it to the Super Bowl like if they win tonight and
04:49They have a good enough team to where Sam Darnold might ultimately go down among the Nick Foles
04:56Brad Johnson and
04:58Bill for category if Minnesota wins a Super Bowl
05:01I would argue it's gonna be because of a defense a running game a wide receiver
05:07I don't think that he's gonna be a guy who goes out there and throws for 370 and wins the MV
05:12Yeah, I don't he's allowed to yeah, and maybe he's done that some this year
05:16They win it it's gonna go more in that category than it will in the category of you know
05:22Mahomes or Alan or these guys who were in the MVP race
05:25He's hard to assess because I actually think that the likelihood is is he's not gonna win the Super Bowl or even go to the
05:32Super Bowl
05:33I think he's got a good shot to win the game tonight
05:37And we'll get to that. We can't wait, but I'm hot. No, you're not
05:44That's true because you I lost the first race the first three
05:47Whatever
05:50You've only won two in a row cuz it's scheduling
05:52Yeah, heat him up dog you picked five you lost three
05:56But anyway anyway a couple of two games under 500 a couple of bad not bad beats bad picks
06:02I don't wear it the NFC has the look in the moment. It has the look of Philadelphia at Detroit in a couple of weeks
06:10We'll see if it happens, but it has that look in that feel
06:14And and and we'll be able to assess after that, but I just think in general
06:18This is the way I come out of the playoff weekend
06:22And we wonder how you like how did this weekend maybe reassess or change your thought on?
06:27Brock Purdy and the 49ers 8 at 8 9 5 7 9 5 7 you can weigh in on that
06:32for me, it's this like
06:35You've got to expand your view on who you want as your quarterback. I don't think you can function in the NFL
06:42I know you're supposed to strive for greatness, and you're going for the Super Bowl
06:46That's all true, but if you're only satisfied with Lamar or Josh
06:52Then I'd argue you're likely to spend the next hundred years
06:55Looking for a good quarterback. It's okay
07:00To have one of the next guys that is a good thing. That's not a bad thing
07:06You don't have to have the best guy in the world at the position
07:12You can have one of the top 12 guys at that position, and I'd argue. That's a good thing
07:19It is therefore worth the money that it costs and we all know what it costs
07:25It's on the Niners to structure it in a way, so it doesn't hamper what they're doing long term
07:30And it doesn't hamper their ability to put people around them
07:34And I believe they can do that because that's what they do they do it very well
07:38Yeah, and but if you want one of those guys
07:41you're lucky to have one of those guys one of those guys a guy who can go out there and
07:47Play well enough in the playoffs to win you the Super Bowl and Matthew Stafford's a great example where he was good in Detroit
07:53For a long time, and he was probably a top eight or a top ten guy
07:58He put up good numbers
07:59And they weren't usually very good and then he went to LA and he had a great team around him
08:04He was experienced and he won the Super Bowl and that's okay to have that guy and you look at the other Super Bowls around him
08:11And it's my homes my homes Brady my homes Brady it went Brady
08:18It went my homes Brady Stafford my homes my homes. That's your last five
08:23So Brady is number one all-time my homes is number
08:27Five or six. I mean some people think he's number two, okay, wherever
08:32That dude and then outside of that you had Matthew Stafford got in for Matt Stafford is probably all-time
08:39He's probably top 30 maybe top 25, right?
08:43Sure, he's Matt Ryan with a ring
08:45So if you think that Brock Purdy can be a guy good enough to win in that spot
08:50and he was as you mentioned an inch away a play away an overtime period away a
08:56coin toss
08:58Handled correctly away, whatever that was. He's that close
