Brock Purdy Is Even Better Than You Think 

Who should be the 49ers' starting QB next season... Brock Purdy or Trey Lance?

BCB has four years of starting QB experience in college and was really the main reason Iowa State was relevant during his time there. He is easily the best rookie QB this season.

My first time watching this show. My opinion: the best breakdown I have ever watched.

Man look at their joy when they talk about him. They know how hard it is to play qb and for the last pick to have real success makes them proud

You’re opening comment is on point. So sick of people saying “all he needs to do is get the ball to the right guy.” That is EVERY quarterback’s job!!! He IS something special. Nice work.

Purdy has looked like a seasoned vet from the moment he stepped on the field. I first noticed it vs Miami when he took the liberty of calling a timeout to avoid a delay of game penalty. Usually it's Kyle who would call timeout in that situation. I've never seen Jimmy G take that kind of initiative, but here's this rookie in his first competitive game with enough situational awareness to avoid a delay of game penalty when most rookies would just be trying to make it through their first live action without getting killed. Fast forward to today and I'm convinced that Brock Prudy is no fluke. He is the best QB on the 49ers roster, he 100% deserves to be the 49ers starter for as long as he's healthy, and he's already one of the 25 best QBs on planet earth, with the potential to be top 5.

I was watching this kid in preseason and was most impressed with him.

Great analysis as always guys. Really interested to see if Purdy can keep up this high level of play. He definitely seems legit to me from what we’ve seen so far.

He also adjusts his arm angles when releasing the ball. Also when he slid with the ball extended in front of him is another nod to his situational awareness.

This "Scheme" Series Is FIRE, my Josh Bros 🔥 Not one single play -- NOT ONCE since Purdy was forced to take over have I said: "Uh-oh, we're in trouble now" The ONLY hesitation I had was "I hope they don't find something on tape that I'm not seeing" lol

I've watched plenty of talking head NFL analysts. Usually it's the same regurgitated and repeated sophomoric drivel. On the other hand this is my first visit to this channel and I have to say Mr. McCown brings an insight and expertise that I have not seen yet. He is on point with the important, relevant details that most of the RU-vid "experts" completely miss or minimize. I will be back for more analysis from this man. Excellent.

Shout out to Brock Purdy’s college and high school coaches too.

Good breakdown on how Brock is special. He’s been making plays that we’re supposed to be sacks. And when he moves out of pocket, it’s like he know exactly where to go. Crazy!!

Finally, someone giving props to Brian Griese. Jimmy was on his way to having his best season and Purdy is excelling. The main similarities for each QB: Brian Griese

Young Jedi!!! He just has it!

Great video! Always been a fan of Josh McCown, not really for his play but for his willingness to coach up and mentor young QBs. The perfect bridge QB for any team.

Excellent video guys, been watching football for over 60 years and the talent of Brock Purdy is elite. His eyes, touch on passes, location in stride of receivers, foot work, elusiveness, patience, and football intelligence is truly incredible! 49ers have struck gold with him and the opportunity for Trey to study as backup will pay huge dividends, similar to when Steve Young was waiting in the wings during Joe Montana's era. Awesome breakdown of his skill sets, just subscribed🏈⛏️⭐️

Football wasn't my sport growing up, so I love hearing the breakdown of the sort of games behind the game stuff. Watching without really knowing the technical side though, I just get such a sense of calm and collectedness from Brock that I think is insane for someone his age

Love this kid…

Wow! Josh did a great job breaking down film! This was awesome

DAMN this is excellent and i've watched Kurt, David Carr and others breakdown Purdy. Josh taking it back to the KC game, shit i forgot he even came in and got some reps in that game. Keep up the good work guys.

"This about to be dope." Indeed it was.

Best analysis of Purdy I've seen, by a mile.

I want to thank you both for uploading this video of Brock Purdy. Finally... someone is giving this kid his due props. He is "IT!" Yes, I noticed this kid in our pre-season when he played... his command of the offense and his leadership, was blatantly obvious in the pre-season. He stood out then to me and I was calling for him to play after Jimmy's first real start against the Broncos and how atrocious he looked. Yes, I'm a huge fan of Jimmy and respect him for everything he's been through with Kyle/Lynch and the Niners "treatment" of him during the offseason and training camp. That said, Jimmy's limitations are glaring. Then opportunity literally knocked for Brock Purdy and well damn... HOLY S#@&... this kid is seriously good and has the potential to be great - Joe Montana great, for my 49ers! This kid has every imaginable trait that makes him a complete winner. Everything from his actual football skills to his intelligence to his calm demeanor... this kid is unbelievable! He is well past being an unproven rookie or that damn b.s. title that does not apply to him - "Mr. Irrelevant." Kyle Shanahan has literally struck gold! This kid is it!!! Kyle needs to move on form Trey, trade him for a couple of picks... I swear, Trey Lance better not be in our building come next year's training camp. Bring back Jimmy as our #2, continue coaching up a completely forgotten but extremely talented QB with some bad college coaching - Jacob Eason as our #3 and ride the rest of the way and for many, many years to come, with Brock Purdy as our clear cut #1. Brock's "young" success is only the beginning... He has every weapon around him to make us consistent Super Bowl Champions for years, years to come! Yes, Kyle has a hard decision - but it is completely clear as to what needs to be done! Hopefully, Kyle does not mess this up! Again, thank you two - and specifically a former NFL QB for giving this kid his props in this video. Trust me, I've evaluated enough talent with all of my years coaching football... This kid is legit! He is IT!!! GO NINERS... BURY AND PUNISH THE FRAUD COWBOYS THIS SUNDAY... BURY THEM!!!

WELL DONE! Very thorough analysis of this remarkable young player🤔I did a "Doh!"😳when Josh Putnam remarked on his channel, that Purdy reminded him of Joe Montana! I'm old enough to remember Joe in his prime, and when you really look at how Brock moves, especially when he has to leave the pocket, he VERY MUCH resembles Joe at his best. This kid is no "flash in the pan". His team mates all like him, respect him, and trust him. Win, lose or draw, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Brock IS the presesnt AND the future of this great 49ers team.

Outstanding analysis.

He moves, identifies, and throws quick to the point where he looks exactly like Romo in a different uniform.

Wow didn’t even know Josh McCown had a podcast. Just subbed. Excellent analysis. From what I have seen most of the National media is still playing catch up to this incredible QB Brock Purdy. Most of them still think he is some sort of weak link in the Niners offense yet he is one of their best players and have elevated the Niners to become an elite offense. Absolutely incredible.

Nice seeing more tds than settling for field goals! (U’hem! Jimmy g)

Thank you for this breakdown. Kudos to both of you!

This reminds me of how Mahomes surprised the league as a rookie. Purdy stands right up there in that category.

Absolute gems of analysis & humans 🍻

Couldn't agree more. Solid content as always! 🙏🏼💪🏼💯👊🏼💥

"Well this isn't gonna be quarters, this is man to man. 'But what kind of man?' Josh, that's a great question..." got me WAY harder than it probably should've

Lets go 49ers! 31-17😌

This is great work, thank you. What I've been most impressed with is how well he quickly navigates the chaos around him while keeping his eyes downfield and throwing a strike on the move. He does this repeatedly every game and it looks so natural. I just watched another video from another "analyst" who is absolutely sure that Purdy isn't very good, and his reasoning is.. Nick Foles. Nick Foles is why Brock Purdy isn't very good.

Great piece guys. Love the insight from both of you. Do more of these. I love to learn.

Nice talk you guys. Real football. Reminds a viewer of Montana. The arm is good enough on 80% of the throws, his feet are really nifty, his football IQ is elite. Lance may indeed have more ceiling but not yet

Great video! First time viewing this channel. Thank you for all the great content!!!

I just subscribed👍 you guys have one of the best awesome channels and McCown is a Genius breaking down all Purdy's Plays

I graduated from Iowa State and no one knows what a great school it is. Brock Purdy is just a clean cut good young man who shows that ISU people can play in the sandbox with the best of them.

You know, I've been a Niner fan since the early 80's. I don't know much about scheme, or any football analytics. What I do love, though, is watching great players, like Montana and Young back in the days. With Purdy, I have feel that same magic like back in the golden years. He is amazing to watch. The throws and pocket movement is incredible to watch. My unprofessional eyes tells me that this kid is special. And, best of all, he is ONLY 23 years old! Extrapolate what he's doing now into next year and beyond. He's not Mahomes, but can you imagine what he can do EVEN if he gets to half of Mahomes' level? Ooof!! He will only get better in Shanahan's system. We are looking at a whole different Niner football going forward. I truly hope that he becomes the next Montana/Young. To think that this kid is a SEVENTH ROUND pick is mind boggling.

Fantastic episode guys, thank you for breaking down Purdy's play up to this point.

A real pleasure getting your take on the film. I’m just a small school varsity coach but Purdy’s guck feet and anticipation have a Montana feel. I’ve always thought part of Joe’s competitive excellence came from the basketball court

Coolest analysis yet. What a fitting thing to look into. Josh I remember seeing you play against the Niners as a Cardinal. You sound like you can really coach it up. Great vid. Thanks and Go Niners!

You are spot on. It probably didn't take long before the coaches realized that Purdy was the real deal.

I love your break down on the plays at hand and your ability to let a 3 year old understand totally what you are saying and what is going on with the quarterback and the receivers along with the defence and how they are being read I want to thank you two for letting me be a part of your channel that's why I just sescribed to it and I am a huge fan of your abilities to let me under stand what is happening in a very quick way thank you and God bless you all from the bay area California Larry vanbrunt jr.

He's Joe Montana 2.0, It's 1981 all over again! Same build, same skills, same athleticism, same game vision, same imagination, same fearlessness........Brock Damn Purdy? It's about damn time!

A lot of the things talked about definitely meet the 'eye test'. You see Brock making reads and not being careless with the ball. Then you see him make something out ouf nothing with his scramble abilities. For the first time in a long time, i do not feel nervous watching our offense.

Real fans along with Kyle already knew when we first seen him pre-season in his first year. He was something special. And if you watched his first interview after that game, he had the ball in his hand. He said Trey went and got his first TD ball and gave it to him. His mannerisms, how he spoke, how he handled the ball in his hands PAUSE, while talking. Had me torn between Trey and Purdy at that time, but as the both started to play more. purdy started to look better. So when Trey got hurt , it really shows everyone, how much ahead of his time he is.. he still has more growing up to do. He is only 24. He is going to get bigger , stronger,faster, smarter. He is going to be 49er for a long time. This is a new era for the 49ers. And it started the year before last.

Awesome breakdown. Thanks guys

love the videos with McCown. his insight is fun to listen to. he should make his own videos breaking down stuff on youtube if he already doesn’t. would watch them all day

At his young age brocks instinct and reaction time is at its peak. Coupled with his vision, accuracy and mobility hes a beast

Great breakdown guys!

McCowan, you are the first person that agrees with me. Brock Purdy is judged by his draft order.

7:45 What separation? That db is riding the wr's back, and Purdy makes a perfect throw into such a tight window. Unreal

Love the show guys

Love listening to you guys!

Josh & Josh, Excellent! Well Done! Best football education I have ever had in 30-minutes! Plus, now I know Brock Purdy is a genuine professional NFL quarterback with numerous strengths and skills! Bring on those Philadelphia Eagles! LET'S see how Brock rises to the occasion!

Great analysis, thanks!

Great breakdown! Thank you for sharing that wisdom!

I loce Purdy. Hes got grit and toughness and is very smart and quick. Cant wait to see his career.

Great analysis guys! Always enjoyed watching you play Josh, you were an underrated dude. I totally agree with your last take about the league always holding onto this perception of a guy based on where he was drafted. In some ways, I think that will always be a benefit to Brock because he will always be hungry to be better and go beyond his physical abilities to succeed, and that makes Brock a very dangerous player. Excited to see what's to come from the young guy. Keep up the great work! Subbed 😎

Awesome job guys! I would love to see some Sheme video of a WR. Cooper Kupp is the only one I’ve seen diagnose defenses in interviews but I know others do it. Would be cool to see it from that perspective!

This was a great break down 😎

Very good breakdown with a lot of detail and insight. I believe Brock Purdy will be the franchise quarterback going forward. I smell a quarterback competition coming in the off-season. Thank you for the great video!

Finally something to grab a beer and listen too

This was very impressive film breakdown. Obviously Josh McCown is very knowledgeable when it comes to evaluating QB’s and had a nice career, but I didn’t know he was good at this. I’m glad I ran into this channel and you guys have earned another subscriber. I am beyond excited about Purdy & it feels like my Niners finally found their franchise QB. This offense is so potent and it feels like Brock just has that IT factor. Good job, fellas! Go Niners!

"The Underdog Fantasy in real life!" Win, Lose or Draw, what Purdy has done is very impressive. Great analysis.

Purdy. He oddly reminds me Steve Nash coming out of Santa Clara via the great basketball hotbed of British Columbia and shocking the world. Purdy has the “it” factor. A perfect quarterback for the architect who is Kyle Shanahan. Reminiscent of the Montana/Walsh pairing. Great breakdown and content, guys.

Great break down on Brock!

Great JOB ! Best breakdown ever!

Brock Damn Purdy!!

Mcown breakdown was dope. Like how he keeps it real and definitely has the knowledge to know 1st hand Good video. Just subscribed

Great video! Easy to understand, and explained without using play and route names that mean nothing to most people. Cheers

One thing to note, Tom Brady, a late draft pick got his chance to play in virtually the same way and was successful in the same way. Also I noticed in Purdy's games, is he took a lot of hits that would have been penalties if they were done to Rodgers, Brady or Mahomes.

Ive got a lot of respect for this kid. He plays with a poise and confidence that far surpasses his years and rating/draft position, etc. He just looks so damn comfortable in an NFL pocket even under extreme pressure. He could be an even more extreme Tom Brady story. With all that said, Ive got nothing but respect for the kid but I am a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan. And not saying this to brag, just as a well known fact, but playing IN Philly for the NFC championship is going to be one of the most hostile, and visiting team handicapping enviroments that he will EVER play in for his entire career. I dont take the Niners for granted and I know its going to be a battle and this SF squad is legit. Great group of guys who Id have nothing against if they werent our present opponent. But if this kid manages to shine and excel in this games enviroment, he can win anywhere anytime. But what Im hoping to happen is that my Birds get at him early and ring his bell good a few times with a couple of early-game sacks and/or turnovers. That combined with the 12th man wreaking havoc on his play/audible calling ability, Im hoping 🤞he catches a sudden, severe and lifelong case of PTSPD (Post Traumatic South Philly Disorder)🤕🤢😩😫😵🛌🤧🤒and he just completely caves and comes undone under the pressure and we beat them in an uncontested rout.🤛💥👊💥🤜💥💪💀💀 I want him to have nightmares and flashbacks about it all off season. 😴💤😈😾👹👺😳😥😰 Thats my perfect world scenario. These Niners are so dangerous that I dont even want it close. I see this Niners team's potential as well as his individually as such a young upstart with lots of experience still to be gained making him even better. From an opposing teams fanbase who respects them, the smrt thing to do is hope to nip this opposition in the bud as as much as humanly possible and beat his mind, heart and soul so bad they he never forgets what happened when he played against us. This dude, and squad, is so good we need to take their soul for years to come in this game if we want the best and most maximized potential outcome. After that, I really do wish him and the Niners the best always and can even pull gor a squad lile that. Just not ever against my Eagles or in our house. Not going to wish you Niners fans any good luck because that would just be a lie on my part. 😂 However I can genuinly say 'Respect' to you all here and now. ✊🤝 Because there will be no such thing given come Sunday in the Linc. 😖🥊🆚To the death! ! (of a football season).👎🗡😠😡😤💀 And Go Birds ! ! 🦅🏉💚

This purdy kid definitely surprised everyone. Even his team.

How can anyone hate on this kid? Its amusing to hear all the bad comments about Brock.

Brock Prrrr 🥶🥶 Brock Sheisty 😈 Brock Cool 😎

Josh McCown's breakdown of Brock Purdy is excellent! I live in the Bay Area so I'm fortunate to have been able to witness his meteoric rise, but the mainstream media is pretty far behind actually analyzing his game as Josh has given us. I just told Larry Krueger, a local radio guy, on his 49ers RU-vid stream and he can't wait to watch it!

The Purdy doubters need to watch this on a loop.

Great video Josh’s!!!!!

Awesome breakdown and analysis.

At 23:26 you said Brock feels a 3 man pass rush. He can easily feel that out because iowa state runs a 3-3-5 defensive set to defend air raid offenses in the big12. He practiced against that for 4 years.

Beast play!

NIce analysis McCown!

Always thought Josh McCown was a solid qb but really good at breaking it down too.

Great analysis guys. Good to hear from someone who knows what he’s talking about.

Major props to brian griese. He is instrumental in having these guys ready

The only reason Joe Montana is still alive - they did not have a dominant O line - was the eyes and quick release. Three seconds and the ball is down field or you're sitting on the grass. Young did not have it but he moved more and still got his bell rung enough to chase him into a sane retirement. Think Purdy can be closer to the former than the latter.

I’m subbing. Nice analysis. Reminds me of jt O’Sullivans analysis

Brock Damn Purdy, He"s got game!

I think the metric the Niners care about is "who wins the most games".

Lets Brock and roll!!!

I was one of those who gave up on the season once Jimmy went down and Brock came in and I thought he ain't it but I WAS WRONG!! Brock is a Baller!!! Trade Trey and keep Jimmy if we can. If Trey was anything like Brock we would have seen it but no. Go Niners!!!

49ers 36 cowboys 26

Lionel here in Central California. Some of the things that brain trust for the 49ers I can't understand, what were they thinking. Giving away draft picks an unproven and inexperienced QB. Then trying to unload a QB that has done nothing but Win. By a stroke of luck he takes a major pay cut and ends up saving the 9ers season. Then he gets hurt. Now what you have is what appears to be a irrelevant rookie, but he has the poise of seasoned veteran. It's my opinion that he is a much better athlete that he's given credit for, which he takes advantage of. He's been an underdog before an know how to deal with it, because he has all the tools to do so. I see that he has a little Johnny Manzel style moves with Joe Montana poise and field presents. He's a student of the game, along with a great football mind. He does his homework and is willing to listen. This is a perfect plot for a great movie, that we are seeing in the making. The 9ers failure in Lance and discarding a really good QB in Jimmy G is beyond me. Brock Purdy to the rescue. After watching his high school and college story, I'm not surprised at were Brock is today. Can help but root for the guy. He's so well grounded and not full of himself like so many NFL'er. Just saying...

Purdy is QB 1 going forward!!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait to crush Dallas tomorrow

He’s literally 1 inch shorter then joe Montana 5:21
