Thought Brock had "The Force" since the Miami game because there he played like Joe Montana--love Steve's analysis.
yes! i guess everyone doesnt see it. what i find funny...if you know what hes doing then why does your team suck?
Steve Young keeping it real. Brock is only 23(!) and he's already an ELITE processor. THAT'S the most important thing to being a QB in the NFL. Dan makes a great point that Brock had to spend 4 years in college throwing guys open when lots of these guys got to spend college throwing to future all pros. It taught him to throw with anticipation and accuracy because he doesn't have that cannon, that gun like the bigger guys have where they can rip it out even if it's a little late. What Brock has been able to do at such a young age is SPECIAL! This is not normal, I don't care how much talent is around you. At some point, people are gonna have to acknowledge that Brock Purdy is a top tier NFL quarterback
something trey could not do
I don't mean to do this comparison, I really dont, but it just fits what you're saying so well, and that is that couldn't you say this about Joe Montana as well... Joe was 6'2", 180 pounds, skinny, very small frame, and yet he was so smart and quick to process that his lack of an elite arm (which I always though was underrated, much like Brock's arm strength), and the elite athletic abilities (although he had excellent escapability and quick feet, again, remind you of anyone.. that's Brock!), all those things are at such a high level already that it allows Brock to be great, just as they did for Joe.
Again, I'm not putting Brock in the HOF already, but just talking about his physical traits, what he has and doesnt have, and how the league and media view him is very reminiscent of how they viewed Montana back in the day. Brock is also forcing these evaluators and analysts to rethink the position yet AGAIN, much like Joe did back in his day
Great post. Think back to the Jimmy G days. Jimmy & Brock were both fearless in throwing to the middle of the field where the LBs lurk under, and Safeties lurk over. Jimmy's much bigger, taller, better arm, but think of how many INTs from tips? How many INTs from inaccuracies? With Brock it's different. He's able to look a lot of people off, "manipulate the defense", and gets the ball on time and in stride to the cutting receiver. Therefore, size is not everything. Processing is everything. Anticipation, accuracy is everything. Height, Arm strength, or even scramble-ability are all over rated (which, surprisingly, these aesthetic things make up to a lot of draft criteria).
I agree except for the fact that Brock has an extremely underrated arm and athleticisim. Brock has the best deep game in football. The highest accuracy in passes over 20 yds. He also has elite short area quickness. His 10 yard burst is just under Lamar Jackson's, the main difference is after ten yards Lamar keepse going faster and Brock stays the same. Brock will never outrun guys downt he field but he can escape the pocket and throw on the move as well as anyone in football.
@@Zoomboomdoom414my dude, Jimmy has the better arm strength. And a legit 6'2. Brocks only 6 ft on a good day. But again, irrelevant body metrics
People discredit Purdy because of his weapons. But ignore the fact that he's doing this behind the #22 ranked OL.
Well, of course they do. Sports talk is mostly a cesspool. A breeding ground for fallacies. Haters will always find a way to justify their half-baked assertions.
Yes as a niner fan I’ll take the eagles oline over cmc any day
And that line just got worse
@@ains7327huh?😅 you might have to re elaborate that
@@abel6962 give me a choice between the eagles oline or cmc I’d rather have the eagles oline cmc is special no doubt but id take a dominant oline all day every day
May the force be with you Obi-Young !
Steve Young is awesome.
I like how Steve's byline is "former ESPN analyst" like that's his set of qualifications for talking about quarterbacks
Yeah. Some byline. How about Super Bowl winning, HoF former 49ers’ QB?
I remember when Steve Young was a new member of the 49ers. He was extremely anxious in the pocket on his first passing play. Almost without exception, Steve would look downfield and then break out of the pocket and run. I used to tell my wife, "Young is going to run on this play." Sure enough. It seemed getting hit calmed him down and then he would display his incredible passing ability. A great player and a legendary SF 49er - Steve Young.
I listened to an interview with Young where he actually said "Sometimes I needed to get hit to get my head in the game. Until I took a hit I wasn't focused on the play as much as I was anticipating the rush or getting hit." So ur statement totally makes sense.

@@chrisputnam4163 Right sometimes you aren't as sharp and awake as you need to be. Same for Brock too, lots of guys. Brock looked like a terribly slow processor until he got hit in the giants game for instance. The guys who win with the mental skills spoken on here, they can't afford to be a little less sharp some days but certainly will be. Seems hits can cure it often times.
@@ryanjacob3338Funnily enough, Purdy got sacked the very first play of his first game as a starter. He said it was a happy reminder that he was really starting. He was locked in after and scored 30+ on the Bucs😂
His last two games he set a passing record since 1950. Brock gets no respect because of his draft place and what he looks like. Accuracy, processing, reading defenses, speed all are important too. A canon arm is not everything if you are not accurate.
We got another baby-faced assassin in The Bay baby!!!
Yes!!! It's all about draft status. That's what's pissing people off and I love it! And! and! He he's not cocky. Bottom line... Ppl can't handle him and who he is... Oh let's chubba!!
Someone would nearly have to be on life support to not realize Brock Purdy is an excellent quarterback. Don’t overthink it.
3:01 Young’s ability to use the word “vicissitudes” correctly while dropping a candid assessment exemplifies why he’s the coolest NFL guy ever
I like when he debates Halloween and Christmas decorations with Tom Tolbert on KNBR.
He's an actual attorney
Didn’t quite use the word correctly but articulate nonetheless
Fortunate enough to listen to Steve Young’s weekly radio show on KNBR, flagship of the 49er’s. He is among the best in the business at dissecting and deconstructing football at the QB level. He’s clear, concise, and has such great insight that even those that don’t understand the game can follow what he’s saying and the point(s) he’s making.
Steve knows things.
49ers were 5-0 and Brock was a MVP candidate. He lost 3 straight and people said he’s exposed. He won 2 straight now we have a franchise QB. LoL I hate social media.
Let’s just say he’s 23 and still learning.
CRAZY HOW PEOPLE WHO PLAYER QB GIVE HIM CREDIT, but those people who have never played the position or even in the nfl hate on him
Master Young, like always wise words you said.
Meditate on this I will.
Steve Young, a fabulous football player and awesome person. As 49er fans, how lucky were we to have back-to-back HOF quarterbacks. I could be wrong, but I don’t think its ever happened before.
Favre/Rogers will be another pair
Favre/Rodgers. Unlikely but if Jordan Love somehow gets super good they could get 3, which would never happen again
Great way of describing his footballers talent the force ,GO BROCK GO NINERS ❤❤
SF was so lucky to have Montana and Young. Now they got Purdy, the future HOF
Calm it down lol
Not lucky smart, not like other teams didn't have the option to draft Montana, Young and certainly with Purdy.
@@ozzmoiseswe didn’t draft young. Buccaneers did
@@ThugPugz_ I know just saying the other teams had the opportunity and blew it
Top 5 QB nuff said and coming for that #1 spot.
Keep talking trash about Purdy, and he will continue to deliver W for 49ers! Thanks to those trash talkers! 😍😍
A lot of times you don't really know until you look around and all of a sudden you realize, yes, this is the guy. Great college players don't always translate to great pro players and sometimes, average college players turn out to be great pro players. Let's not forget, the guy who's generally considered the best wide receiver of all time came from a small Mississippi school and was not highly recruited. Of course I'm talking about the great Jerry Rice. Also, to Dan's point about Purdy "throwing receivers open", I would contest that this is a characteristic of a quarterback that understand the route tree of a receiver. He played quite a lot of college ball at Iowa State (a passing team) where he started 46 games so he's got quite a lot of experience at the position in a passing offense. Sometimes we throw the term "great" around a little too much, but one thing is for sure, he's Purdy darn good. Is he a product of a "system", yea maybe, but isn't every teams success a product of a "system"? Just sayin'
Wasn’t Jerry Rice a 1st rd pick?
I'll take Purdy over Hurts ALLL DAY !!
Steve Young...🔥🔥🏈🏈
lol. I figured that out in Purdy's third start. I hadn't seen that kind of high-level QB work since the days of Montana and Young. And that's not to discount 3x pro-bowler Alex Smith who, once he was away from Nolan & Singletary blossomed into a very good QB. But Purdy is better.
Don't discount 4x Pro Bowler Jeff Garcia either!
Purdy is elite
What's better than elite? Purdy
Brock is amazing!
Steve Young and Jerry Rice are my all time favs but now Christian McCaffrey has joined them.
This should not even be a topic of conversation at this point. Purdy has proven himself over and over, so it should not even be up for debate. Kyle Shanahan just needs to keep his cool and lose the attitude when things go wrong, otherwise, he will just ruin the confidence of his players. John Lynch has been doing an amazing job with all these crazy trades he has been making, so as long as they keep Purdy protected with a strong OL, everything should only get better and better.
He still hasn't proven if he can come from behind. Once he does that, then you can say he is there. So far it's been proven that he can't come from behind. That's a fact
@@johnmitchell8254 What are you even talking about? lol
@@johnmitchell8254he did it against the Raiders. Did his job against the Browns but the kicker blew it.
@@johnmitchell8254
So Brock missed the 41 yard field goal vs Browns?
@garthfarkley he was bailed out with the penalty that got him down field
The thing about Brady and Manning is that when they would go to the line, you could tell they were observing and processing more than other QBs. You could see it in their eyes that they already knew what was going to happen.
Purdy is so surgical and processes the field at an insane rate
@@BenDover-lg4wvthat actually works against him he is so good at it he makes it look easy so he doesn't get that credit
Steve is right - and what a great way of putting it.
“The kid has the force” because the force is hard to judge “that’s why they draft him last” . Blew my mind, it all makes sense now
Purdy Perfect!!!
Brock Purdy has a special gift that God gave him i just think that he's going to be awesome he's just getting started im glad he's a 49er
Ppl act like playing n brocks position is so ez. Just because you got the weapons, doesnt mean youll be able to throw the ball to them. You still gotta process the defense etc and still throw the ball to the correct spot etc.
And do it behind a below average OL
Steve Young Kenobi
😂😂😂
If you can’t watch the film and know Brock is elite , then you’re not cut out for football analyst.
first time listening to Steve Young 😮. Looking up for more.
its the FORCE
Purdy has shown promise and potential and it seems like hes in the right environment to reach it. He needs to engineer late 4th quarter drives in a playoff environment to be that guy. He also needs to bulk up some just to be able to take hits
Steve young is one of the greatest qbs ever. So when he says a qb is good, they are damn good
Young is also super smart. Not just an athlete.
Sometimes they should put a little more value at looking at a player's college footage. He was a top five QB in college most of his four seasons, I watched every game. He played head to head with Hurts and had the better game head to head. Sometimes just watching them actually play means more than measurements. As an ISU fan I would not have traded him for anybody those years, felt the same about RB Breece Hall. The rest of our roster was not as loaded as Texas and Oklahoma but I knew at those two position we had the better guy for our team...even when OU had Hurts.
Exactly. When the packers drafted jordan Love I immediately watched his highlights and I immediately was bummed that they wasted their pick.
That's a great point but I think it's because they're looking for the atypical prototype, as Young said, for quarterback. Gone are the daya where you have a poised pocket passer that's accurate at the short-mid range. Instead, the template is now having a QB that has that canon for an arm and who is a part-time running back.
As loathe as I am to admit it, Colin Kapernick is kind of the pioneer that engineered that type of QB.
@@Thalarian thats funny you say that. Yesterday when Jordan Love ran 30 yards against the lions on thanksgiving, I said to my family "as much as I hate to say it, Colin Kaepernick would have taken that to the house"
@@Thalarian
Yeah, using their legs but running to pass is the thing now. I can tell you having watched every game Purdy played in college and the pros that he is insanely intuitive at extending plays with his legs. Mahomes is probably the only guy better at it right now. He did have an all american running back (Breece Hall) but our offensive line was rarely great and both Purdy and Breece were figuring out ways to score points under lots of pressure.
Brock is the 1 QB that keeps getting better when he has bad games he learns from his mistakes focuses on film to learn what he did wrong, look when we lost those 3 games Brock made some bad reads & a lot of bad throws but he dialed in with the film and practice & now he is on another level each time he makes a mistake he learns from it he will be the best QB to step on a Nfl field cuz God is with him he believes in Jesus Christ the king of kings & this was his calling!
They we’re set 4th start last year. Fitting last franchise QB is giving Purdy the torch 🔥
I love that kid!
Great analytical description
When you're behind it's not just because of the qb but other players, they have to shift gears to the right speed for the qb
Steve young is so fucking smart I first found that out in the americas game documentary. True definition of a 49er QB
Also I love that Brock is getting endorsements from being Mr
Irrelevant 😂😂😂😂
Preach. Steve!
49er Faith!!! Have Faith in Purdy and THE BOYS!!!!! They'll giter done!!
If Young is giving u a G Pass he str8
Imagine if Purdy was black would everyone be throwing shade on him asking if he’s actually good? Whats the problem with Purdy that the media will watch a perfect game and still question his ability? Funny.
Exactly if purdy was black everyone would be kissing his ass
This isn’t about color you dip shii
I totally agree with your point. If he were black, no one dares to say Brock is not elite. Plus some analysts never play QB position but say and act like they know in and out of this position.
I love Brock. If he were black and the last pick out of Iowa State I think it would be worse. Honestly let's not even do the color thing because we're all human. I wish nothing but the best for Brock. We gotta not let petty shit like color come into play. That's low vibrational thinking
@@deontaylor1547 Sorry but that’s not true at all they would all be calling him an all time great if he were black
49ers and Star Wars, my two loves
If Steve says so, then it's law!
I think Steve Young would make a great GM for the 49ers...I mean dude is one of the greats, a communicator and also a highly successful business man.
Love the star wars references.
During the Niners' losing streak, suddenly there were all these critics saying "See, Purdy is not an elite QB." This is such a straw man tactic. Few -- if any -- ever called him an elite quarterback. Some offered the possibility that he might develop into one, but tempered that with the reminder that he wasn't there yet. What's important is that he's played better (and is more reliable) as a starter than Jimmy G or anyone else during the Shanahan Era.
What more duz he need to du BROCK #1 PURDY GoNINERS
Lmfao. Finally an actual honest breakdown of purdy
Steve Young was just an amazing QB to watch. Imagine Josh Allen's athleticism and Purdy's brain in one player.
Even tho purdy has amazing accuracy, if he had a mahomes or allen arm he would easily be the greatest qb ever. I’ve never seen a qb who’s this good at reading the field. It can’t be shanahan either. Trey lance couldn’t read a book
@@BenDover-lg4wv Only thing Trey could read is the new titles that he is getting traded to the Boyz hahaha!
National media purposely leaves off the most import pass stats when criticizing Brock...Yards Per Attempt, Completion Percentage, and 1st Down Percentage. Seems to be a "national narrative" when attacking Brock's level of play to leave these stat off the table? FYI he leads the league in all three!
I always said pros and college are different. Elite qbs in college hardly become elite in the nfl. The pressure is so much greater and diva receivers and fans put so much pressure on qbs to make the perfect pass. This is why arm strength hardly ever translates to nfl star qbs. It’s all about processing power and the ability to block out the pressure and confidence to let the ball fly. Mahomes has it, and I have to say purdy seems like he does too. The niners have always been my nfc team so I’m glad they found their qb.
I believe most elite college qb's could at the very least be effective pros. We call these young men "busts" when they don't make it. I would contend that there are few organizations in the NFL that can develop qb talent. Most of these promising young qbs end up playing for this perennial "bust" organizations. Take the Patriots for example, switch Mac Jones and Brock Purdy. Mac would be flourishing under the Shanahan system and it would be said of Brock "well we only spent a seventh on him. Football is the ultimate team sport and the qb is reliant on so many things outside of his control. A bad football team will have a bad quarterback. A great qb can elevate an average team to good, but a bad football team/organization is just bad and the qb can't do much about this.
I trust Steve’s opinion he is a legend he definitely knows so I’m Team Purdy 💯%
Yes !!!
I played in a golf tournament with John Brodie once and he mentioned there were times when he saw a play happen as he walked up to the line of scrimmage….not imagining it, actually seeing it. He also said he had talked to other QBs about it. Although they agreed they knew what he was talking about they hadn’t want to broadcast it, because it might sound too bizarre. I’ve heard fighter pilots refer to knowing the next move without thinking. Time/space as a continuum, is an open question in quantum physics. Could it be that it can be condensed in a small coterie of elite athletes. Sounds like Steve Young has peaked over the fence.
that's what athletes call ' in the zone ' hard to describe, but once you've done it. you know it. time / game slows down, you see everything as it's happening and going to happen, and then play accordingly.
@@nadjasunflower1387
"Flow State."
My ex was in SpOps in the Army, he described this feeling in certain very intense high-stakes situations.
Like Young says, there’s some people that just get a complete calm clearheadedness in scenarios where other people’s adrenaline would be off the charts. Yes, practice and reps help this immensely, but even then, there’s just those in that other group that have it from the start.
I cant believe hes only 23. Hes in his 2nd year and hes 4 - 1 in the playoffs. U can literally see him figuring it out on the fly and doing it so frikin well. His journey is so great.
Guys who reference to film is always consistent with their Purdy takes. The haters dnt even reference to the film.
Young also wanted the 49ers to hang on to Trey.
purdys superpoer is his accuracy
Steve is good his insight Ok . Brock does have the Force Ok.
This team with Brock on a rookie contract and all their weapons can achieve the impossible. A 3-peat!

Jets should listen to this BYU man !
Yes
Greatest since SY, and JM.. for the niners ..
shit if brock only plays 3 years.. he still be a HOF player weill all these stats hes braken he cant lose
we knew this already
I agree with Steve and disagree respectively. First of all I'm a huge fan of yours Steve. I played for the Modesto 49ers when you who won the Super Bowl. To mention the losses Brock pretty head this season without mentioning the concussion is a bit Reckless I think. I know it sounds like an excuse but if you have a concussion you shouldn't be cleared in one week. I'm also a professional athlete and in my profession if I get a concussion in a fight I cannot step foot in the gym four 30 to 60 days or I can lose my fight license and be fined. To clear someone for a concussion in one week is absolutely ridiculous and has to do with millions of dollars on the line. The concussion he suffered is obviously the main reason why he made some mistakes.. God bless you bro hope you're doing well steve.
And what took Steve off the field?
@@toddwilliams5905 exactly.
what does "throwing guys open" mean??
Steve Young said jeff garcia, then alex smith then kapernick 😂. We dont know yet
Reasons to me, that he was drafted last, or like an elite talent of Brady, going so late, is you cant teach or scout, access and accuracy. We didnt know of Bradys abilities till he had the chance. Same as Purdy. That A&A sets the best from the rest. Man, watch out, cuz for Purdy to show he has those assets already, hes going to be a beast. Arm strength can be trained. And he'll be even better once he gets stronger. But that A&A.....you have it (and know how to use it), or you dont and you get by on arm strength and reciever abilities, and become less than the best.
I’m confused this is still a question. I swear, I think we Bears fans sit back and watch this stuff more confused than anybody. Some of the complaints and skepticism these QB’s receive when if we had them, we’d be shotgunning 40 celebration beers every Sunday….smh
Watching fields and how slow he processes plays just makes you gain a big appreciation for Purdy. Liked the niners since they beat the cards to let us into the playoffs 3 years ago. That smack down of Rodgers in Green Bay in 2022 was great as well
Just like Neo in the movie the Matrix at the end . Brock realizes that he can do it now.
Brock Brock Prudy is San Francisco QB for the future 🎉
No,they have a great system.If they pay this guy beyond a rookie contract they are doing themselves a disservice.
playing smart is a far better skill than all the physical attributes. I'll take a 5'9" smart player over a 6'3" specimen with a cannon for an arm any day. I guarantee you that smart player will be more effective than the physical beast any day.
Yes Steve. This is the same way I deduce that Jordan love will never be great.
It's not that he can't throw it late. He doesn't have to
Brock Purdy is HIM
the only reason games are competitive in the 4th in recent years is the questionable officiating. bad calls and blatant no calls has turned the NFL into WWE
49ers struck gold with Purdy
Niner fan here do we have elite quarterback? Does the Niners have a quarterback like Joe Montana or Steve Young well, it’s not up to Brock Purdy he could be the quarterback but it’s up to Kyle Shanahan and how long he lets Brock play is he gonna do what he did to Jimmy Garoppolo you know let him play for 2 or years and then let him go doesn’t make any sense it just does. It depends on the coach.
Wait wait! WHY WHY WHY aren’t we getting Kap back!?!? 😂😂😂
can this offense come from behind we dont know. To do be in that position with this team would be a fundamental failure in this Shanahan system. when this team is right it's unlikely they will be in a position of being down 2 scores late in the 4th were the QB has to make up for the failures in the system of this team. this happened in that 3 game skid. but the team itself was not functioning as shannah team on defence.
Gee, he wasn't rehired by ESPN? Why?
Hoy is that someone intends to question a QB whit a SB Récord and MVP twice about his knowledge of the QB position…
It is absurd….
It’s better for Steve to say it than a regular fan boy.
Looks like a young Drew Brees.
no way ..better then dress better that dax.. how about joe montana oh your just to young to have seen it go watch montana highlights
@@mushroom_hatter Drew Brees is arguably the second best QB all time. I wouldn't take that as an insult at all.
@@quemaspana He's definitely in my top 5. Drew Brees was an elite passer and processor in his prime. He also played in an era that was incredibly rich in talent and processing power in guys like Brady, Rodgers, Manning, and somehow found a way to stand out and be prolific, so he gets extra brownie points for that in my book.
@@mushroom_hatter You need to put the crack pipe down.
@@laryjohnson5736 crack .. why dose it all ways have to be crack .. brees sucked .. or was a mid QB ..
When the nfl meets star wars
Brock does just enough to win games,,,and stays healthy so what more do you want.....just play the position
I would argue that he typically does more than he needs to to win games. Which is why they usually win by multiple scores. Game managers, like Jimmy G, do the bare minimum. On the other hand, Purdy makes great on and off schedule throws, is great at escaping the pocket and is really accurate.
@@ryanj3975 What is it that you think a "game manager" is? Jimmy was the opposite of a game manager. He was a gun slinger and the knock on him was he threw too many picks.
@@puckutubesux7356 A gunslinger!? That’s funny. The knock on him was not just the picks. It was his indeciveness, his inaccuracy, holding the ball too long, taking too many sacks and his almost inability to create off-schedule plays.
@@ryanj3975 You have so little football knowledge it's unreal. If we took the opposite of everything you said we'd have a smart fan. Jimmy had literally the quickest release in pro football, and the fastest measured since Tony Romo. You are simply objectively wrong. The 49ers' sack numbers went way down after Jimmy took over in 2017. Jimmy would frequently throw into heavy traffic, and sometimes get burned by it. He almost never threw the ball away. That's the literal opposite of a game manager, and the very definition of a gun slinger. You clueless newbs seem to think that "gun slinger" means throwing deep balls or something. Or that it means racking up a ton of garbage time yards like Vinny Testaverde or Drew Bledsoe because you get behind a lot in games. Alex Smith was a game manager. So was Jeff Garcia in his Eagles and Bucs days. Jimmy was a gun slinger playing in a balanced offense.
Man, the guy just started. It's too early to start criticizing him. He still has some growing up to do and a lot to learn.
