00:00This is the president of Brockistan postgame party that we're having right now.
00:05Big time.
00:05And I was thinking about that earlier today.
00:07Like, it's a good day to be you as the president of Brockistan
00:11because he is untouchable at this moment.
00:15And I actually did the homework because you were asking
00:18how many more pass attempts before he can qualify
00:20to be the all-time leader in quarterback rating.
00:24And he needs 91 more passes.
00:26But, no, he cannot go 0 for 91 with no picks.
00:30Oh, so he's got to complete one of them?
00:32He can't even go 36 for 91.
00:34Oh, jeez.
00:35And he's going to have to still be somewhat good.
00:39Good on you for doing that math.
00:41I'll be the first one to tell people,
00:44I don't even know how the hell you...
00:45How do you calculate quarterback rating?
00:48I know that it matters.
00:50I get that it encompasses a lot of different pieces of quarterbacking.
00:54And, therefore, I think it is a piece of the discussion.
00:59But I don't know.
01:01Well, they have a quarterback rating calculator at profootballreference.com.
01:07So I just went to that and played with the numbers a little bit.
01:10It's basically attempts, completions, touchdowns, interceptions, and yardage.
01:15And there's a formula.
01:16But I put in 91 attempts with no completions.
01:19He would not be the all-time leader.
01:21And then I just did 36 completions because that would get him to 1,000 completions.
01:25Okay.
01:26If he's 1,000 for 1,500, he needs to be better than that.
01:30Oh.
01:31So he's going to have to complete more than half?
01:34Yeah.
01:34He's going to have to complete more than half his passes.
01:36And how many is he being completed?
01:38What percentage is he being completed so far this year?
01:4080.4.
01:41Oh.
01:42Right.
01:42I like his chances.
01:43But I'm not saying he's going to continue at an 80.4% clip.
01:48I think the record is like 70.
01:50Drew Brees set the season record.
01:53But he's off to a nice little start.
01:54I know that you said, like, good day to be president of Brockistan because nothing can be said.
02:00Like, nothing can be said.
02:00Well, believe it or not, and I know you'll believe it, there are still bleeders, if you will.
02:09Those who are going to just kind of spill out of the bucket of normal, if you will, and grip
02:19on to their takes.
02:20I did a little walk and talk on the way to the station today and gave just 45 seconds on
02:27Brock and the Niners.
02:29And I just want to read this comment that just came in from the underscore APG underscore sports mix.
02:38Okay.
02:40Stop the bitching, the Willard.
02:42I don't know why he called me the Willard.
02:45Because he's the APG.
02:48Stop the bitching, the Willard.
02:49It's the same thing y'all did before that Baltimore game where he threw five picks.
02:55It was actually only four.
02:57And then everyone jumped off the ship.
03:00I'm all for Brock's progression.
03:02But until he does this against the powerhouse teams consistently, and in this case, this year, Seattle.
03:12It's just par for the course, bro.
03:15We've seen this before.
03:16I remember Goo and Stanny calling him Joe Montana and that he couldn't get any better.
03:24This was before that first Eagles game.
03:27When he wins one, then we can start placing him above people of note.
03:32Right now, he's slightly above Jimmy and Garcia and below Joe, Steve, and Cap.
03:39Who, of course, also didn't do all of the things that you are now asking Brock to do.
03:47And, oh, by the way, I don't believe I put him ahead of Joe and Steve.
03:51The entire conversation came from me saying the 49ers are currently seeing their best quarterback since Steve Young,
04:00their best quarterbacking since Steve Young.
04:03Yes, salute to Colin Kaepernick, who had a run and went to a Super Bowl and, for me, would be
04:10the answer of what comes next after Brock
04:14in terms of a run of quarterbacking for the Niners and probably Garcia before that.
04:18Let's get Alex Smith a mention in here.
04:21That's the group.
04:22But, for me, this is, like, completely free from hesitation that right now the 49ers have their best quarterback since
04:29Steve Young.
04:30And I think that you can have that opinion.
04:33You can look at Colin Kaepernick and his run of success and say, yeah, Cap at his peak was something
04:39that this team
04:40and this league, quite frankly, had never really seen.
04:43But the overall body of work for Colin Kaepernick through 58 starts was not as good as what Brock Purdy
04:50has delivered
04:50in a close to similar amount of starts.
04:53Brock's got 47 starts, and his numbers across the board in efficiency, completion percentage, etc.,
05:00they blow away those from Colin Kaepernick.
05:02Now, Colin Kaepernick's rushing stats are among the best from any quarterback ever.
05:07And he was very successful with Jim Harbaugh.
05:10But I think when you say he's the best since Steve Young, you're not really going out on that much
05:15of a limb to me.
05:15It's not a limb at all.
05:16No.
05:17It's not a limb at all.
05:18Colin Kaepernick did not have Kyle Shanahan.
05:21Shanahan, shout out to everybody who had that debate six weeks ago about who you'd rather have, Harbaugh or Shanahan.
05:28Take the L.
05:30Take the L.
05:31And the same goes for those who through the years have said that Brock Purdy is not a $50 million
05:39quarterback in this league.
05:41It's fine.
05:42I get where the point came from, but take the L.
05:45Like, come on.
05:46What are we doing here?
05:47What are we really doing?
05:48Do you understand, you go to the gym four times a week and you won't be working out as hard
05:57as you need to work out right now to come up with a negative Brock take.
06:01What's the point?
06:02Why would you even go there?
06:04What leg do you have to stand on and why?
06:08Well, the leg that I think that the commenter, the leg that they are standing on, it seems, is when
06:14you go up against a really good defense, then we'll see.
06:16And, you know, Goo has even said Shanahan has a Mike McDonald problem because he was the defensive coordinator for
06:23the Baltimore Ravens when they threw five picks.
06:25Four of them were thrown by your guy, Brocky Poo, who was on his way to being the league's MVP.
06:30And then suddenly he wasn't.
06:32So I don't look at it in that way because, yes, Miami's defense is not very good.
06:37And guys were running wide open repeatedly.
06:40But that's just one game.
06:42The Rams are supposed to be this awesome sauce of the defense.
06:45Thank you for bringing that up.
06:46Like we're moving the goalposts.
06:47I was at all those fantasy drafts, too, where the Rams were one of the first three defenses taken.
06:53Seattle, Texans, Rams.
06:55Great defense.
06:56I don't want to hear Miles Garrett was hurt.
06:58Like, no.
07:00He was out there and he registered a big zero.
07:03So that's supposed to be one of the defenses.
07:05The Seattle thing, by the way, I could argue, Kyle Shanahan's not the only one with a Mike McDonald problem
07:11right now.
07:12It appears to be the NFL.
07:14The NFL has a Mike McDonald problem right now.
07:17They have lost their quarterback and their 2-0.
07:21And I think they've given up, like, 17 points, 20 points for the year.
07:2917.
07:30Yep, 17 points.
07:32Hello, they're awesome.
07:33They've won 12 straight games going back to last year.
07:35They're awesome.
07:36They're awesome.
07:37And I get, like, yes, they would be one of two other answers.
07:43To me, there's three candidates for who's had the best start to the year.
07:47It's the Niners, it's the Seahawks, and it's the Bengals.
07:50Oh, not even the Bills.
07:51No, because their defense looks awful.
07:54Vikings?
07:55Well, God, the Vikings.
07:58Both of those wins.
08:00Also backup quarterback in 2-0.
08:02But I don't think their offense looks very good.
08:05I just don't.
08:06But the defense.
08:07The defense is excellent.
08:08They've given up 25 points.
08:09And the Bills' offense is excellent.
08:11But I think, again, I'm talking about...
08:12They've given up 62 points.
08:13Who looks balanced and who looks like they've got a sustainable process.
08:17I know the Seahawks do, and they're stealing right now because they're winning without their quarterback.
08:22He'll probably be back next week.
08:24The Bengals look like maybe they have figured something out defensively.
08:28And the 49ers look awesome.
08:30Those, to me, are the three teams that, like...
08:33And again, I'm not saying they're going to go the furthest.
08:36The Bills are going to be a factor here, as are many other teams.
08:39But those are the three teams, I think, where the fan base can be most excited about how they look
08:45on all sides of the ball.
08:47The balanced idea, I'm with you there, because if you look at New England, for example, their defense has been
08:53spectacular.
08:54But they have a hard time scoring.
08:56Buffalo has probably the best offense in football, but they've given up 62 points, as mentioned.
09:01So, a truly balanced team.
09:03And the one that's kind of head-scratching is the Texans have given up 56 points in two games.
09:0828 a game.
09:10They're 0-2, only a game out.
09:12But they were supposed to, and I know every year is different, but their defense was supposed to be better
09:16than this.
09:16I'm with you.
09:17They're not just 0-2.
09:19They're 0-2, and they haven't gotten on a plane yet.
09:21Wow, yeah, you're right.
09:22These are two home games, and they lost them both.
09:26And yesterday wasn't particularly close.
09:28They shot themselves in the foot repeatedly.
09:30I don't think Nico Collins sounds to me like he's going to be back next week either.
09:35And that vaunted defense has too much...
09:38Like, that defense is kind of like what Christian McCaffrey was on offense last year.
09:42There's just too much on their shoulders.
09:44There's just too much on their shoulders.
09:46And whatever the Texans did offensively in week one against the Bills in a close loss, it did not carry
09:53over at all.
09:54That was, to me, outside of all things Charger, most disappointing performance of the day yesterday belonged to Houston.
10:04Yeah, to muster six points against a mostly porous Bengal defense, you can't have that as a thing.
10:12I didn't even realize, but C.J. Stroud threw it 55 times.
10:16Yeah, they couldn't run the ball.
10:17Right.
10:17They were down the whole way.
10:20Their score was kind of...
10:21They botched a field goal.
10:23They kept going for it on fourth down.
10:25Like, there was a bunch of trips to the red zone where they came away empty-handed.
10:29But super disappointing performance.
10:32Big step back for C.J. Stroud in his chase for a contract.
10:35Right.
10:36And you can look at other teams that were disappointing, like the Falcons, for example.
10:40Well, they're just not very good.
10:42Miami was...
10:43Right.
10:43And Miami, I think, is another team where, you know, you had Bradley Pinion just drop a snap
10:49when he was supposed to hold it and then kick it.
10:51He just flat dropped it.
10:53And so, some of those mistakes are chalked up to young rookies, but then there's mistakes like that.
10:59Before we go back to the phones, this is the...
11:01While we're on, the idea of the Texans haven't been on a plane.
11:04Okay.
11:05Another L for some talkers to take.
11:09You're giving out L's today, man.
11:10I'm giving out L's.
11:12So, remember the...
11:14Well, I know Australia didn't go well for the Rams, but...
11:19But, this is about week two.
11:23Who is going to be not as tired and have their body right for week two?
11:29This one to me was always, like, I didn't really understand it.
11:32I understand, for instance, you know, you and I are in our 50s.
11:37There's a reason that I...
11:39Two drink maximum.
11:41There's a reason.
11:42Because we're not ever doing a hangover ever again.
11:45I decided this about 10 years ago.
11:48Because if you do one now, you turn 40, you turn 50, you turn 60.
11:53Sometimes the hangover lasts three days.
11:55And I'm like, this is a bad trade.
11:57This is like Laurie Markkinen all over again.
12:00I don't want to do this.
12:02So, no.
12:03How about no?
12:04We're not doing that ever again.
12:08And so, you know, but that's now.
12:11These are people who are outside of Trent Williams, you know, and Kyle Juszczyk.
12:16These are largely people in their 20s and even those guys.
12:19They're in their 30s.
12:19These are highly conditioned athletes.
12:21The idea that the way you do your plane flight back from Australia would mess you up 10 and 11
12:29days later and that you figured something out that would put you ahead in week two over the other team.
12:37I never really understood it.
12:38The Niners showed absolutely zero ill effects of anything.
12:44They came out humming right away yesterday.
12:46And now they get a regular week while the Rams will have a short one and travel to altitude.
12:52And altitude, yep.
12:52So, like, just the L goes to the Rams on that checklist.
12:59It's every box.
13:01All of them.
13:03We'll see.
13:04We'll see how they come out.
13:05No, you lost.
13:07Like, even if they're good tonight.
13:08So are the Niners.
13:09You gained zero advantages with how you did Australia.
13:13You played poorly.
13:14You traveled poorly.
13:16You L'd.
13:18You L'd in all of the spots.
13:21Well, you L'd because you went out there and you took the L.
13:24And, you know, every individual, every team is different.
13:26So the 49ers just may have Dustin Perry, who is ahead of the curve as far as how to do
13:32it, how to travel.
13:32But also, you set your team up in a certain way where maybe they're better sleepers on planes than the
13:38Rams are.
13:39I don't know.
13:39It seemed a little bit nonsensical to me to fly out last minute and fly back and try to, you
13:45know, cheat the circadian rhythm, so to speak.
13:48And, you know, whether or not they have, we're going to find out tonight.
13:51But even at that, they don't have Puka Nakua most likely.
13:56Whittington is doubtful, which means he's going to be out.
13:58So even with the travel part put aside, the Rams come back without their best defensive player and two of
14:05their top wide receivers putting aside the rest factor.
14:10Real quick, the Puka Nakua update, before we go back to the phones, as of a half hour ago, there
14:18were tweets saying that he is sitting on the sideline at SoFi in a hoodie next to Cam Kinchins.
14:26And Jordan Whittington, who we already know is doubtful, was out on the turf testing his quad.
14:31And then 15 minutes ago, Puka was out doing his own warm-up and throwing footballs with people behind the
14:41goalposts.
14:41That was as of 15 minutes ago.
14:44So still nothing definitive.
14:47Obviously, this is 100% due 90 minutes before kickoff, which I believe, if my math is correct, is in
14:54about 15 minutes.
14:55Yeah, 350.
14:56Yeah.
14:56And everything is due at that point where, you know, you have your active roster, what is it, 46, I
15:02think, that you have to declare that are up, plus your emergency third quarterback.
15:06So, yeah, the actual definitive answer on will he play or won't he is coming up.
15:12But it seems like if he's already in a hoodie and it's 90 minutes or so before kick, you probably
15:18would be, I don't know, getting ready in your uniform.
15:20That was a half hour ago, the hoodie part, 15 minutes ago, he's up doing a workout.
15:26But, you know, the pregame walkthrough and all of those things, yeah, this is what you do.
15:31You go test it out and then you talk it out.
15:33So I don't take that as a good or a bad sign for his availability.
15:37But, yes, stay with us.
15:39We will know in 15 minutes or less what's going on with Puka Nakua tonight as the Rams host the
15:45Giants on Monday Night Football.
15:48One interesting wrinkle I just saw from Adam Schefter, and it has a local slant to it.
15:53Zach Ertz out of Monta Vista High School has signed back with the Philadelphia Eagles on their practice squad.
15:59Dallas Goddard got hurt and didn't come back yesterday.
16:02Right.
16:02That would be an indication.
16:04Sprained MCL for Goddard.
16:06That's going to take a minute.
16:07Right.
16:07But Zach Ertz has been re-signed by Philadelphia on their practice squad.
16:11Interesting.
16:12Interesting.
16:12And, yeah, the 49ers, boy, they, like, check in on George Kittle again.
16:17They must be feeling great about how he's doing because they didn't, with the loss of Jake Tonjes, I know
16:25they elevated Braden Willis, but they didn't really feel the need to go out and sign a new tight end.
16:31And then at halftime, you know, George hadn't really touched the ball.
16:34There were reports about kind of an animated conversation between him and Kyle Shanahan on the sideline.
16:40And then he went out and balled in the second half and had a touchdown catch and another long one
16:46over the middle of the field.
16:47So, again, another huge green checkmark next to George Kittle and his recovery.
16:54And, again, he only played 25 snaps because that's all he really needed to play.
16:59And I would imagine that there were some words exchanged at halftime, like, hey, how about I get a target
17:04somewhere along the way, Kyle?
17:06Maybe you can throw me the ball.
17:07And he had the big play down the middle, down the seam, and then the touchdown catch as well.
17:11But even at that, he only had to get out there for 25 snaps.
17:16Light work for almost everybody.
17:18Let's go back out to the phones.
17:20GPD's on the line.
17:21What's up, Grandpa Daddy?
17:22What you got?
17:25Hello, gentlemen.
17:27We love you guys, man.
17:28So, I love you both.
17:31We know that.
17:32And Kudos to the other Grandpa Daddy.
17:35You know, dibs.
17:36Love you, bro.
17:40I just want to say that if you look at this, this morning on the morning roast, they were saying,
17:49like,
17:49give me one word for this Niner game.
17:53And I said, I'm going to give you two words.
17:58Maturity and dynamic.
18:02Mark, again, I would like to be vice president of Pakistan.
18:09I'm getting a lot of applications today, GPD.
18:14My inbox is overloaded.
18:18See?
18:19I came up with that, bro.
18:21No one has to be vice president.
18:24I can't be your first choice.
18:25But anyway, love you, YouTube.
18:29Willard and the lady and the lovely.
18:32Love it, bro.
18:33Go to it.
18:34I'm impressed with the lovely.
18:38But you two are actually the analytics for talk show radio.
18:45Sports talk show radio.
18:47Analytics for sports talk radio.
18:49Everything you guys say and come up with is, like, spot on, man.
18:55And I just want to, you know what?
18:56I want to give you guys a shout out.
18:59And I want to appreciate you guys for what you guys do on the radio.
19:03Thank you for giving me.
19:05I drive so much from job site to job site.
19:08And by the way, my construction company is dynamic.
19:11And that's why I just had to go there.
19:14Dynamic and maturity.
19:16Bring, bring, bring, bring.
19:18Let's go, GPD.
19:20Trampot.
19:20Dynamic and mature.
19:22There it is from GPD.
19:24Every single thing we say is spot on, Dan.
19:29Analytics, Mark.
19:30That's right.
19:31I'm sure that's exactly what it is and how it comes out.
19:34You know, that's a stat that we're 100%.
19:36Like, unlike Brock Purdy, 20 for 22.
19:39I can't believe he missed.
19:40Yep.
19:41I was like, what are you doing, dude?
19:42What are you doing?
19:44Intentional grounding.
19:45Debo, you got to go ahead and snag that one.
19:47Yeah, that's on Debo.
19:48I had forgotten that he went 21 for 22 against Arizona three years ago.
19:53Until you brought it up, I had forgotten that as well.
19:54Yeah.
19:55I was just wondering where his 90.9% ranked all time.
19:58And it's not that high on the list, actually.
20:00It's like 35th or something.
20:03There have been a lot of games.
20:04Jared Goff has the record for 100% game with more than 20 attempts.
20:09But Brock's game, when he went 21 for 22, that's number five all time.
20:13And if you're a believer in QBR, yesterday's game by Brock Purdy was the seventh best all time.
20:21I could give you 1,000 guesses, and I bet you wouldn't be able to get the one guy who
20:28appears twice in the top 11
20:31as the best individual QBR games of all time.
20:36Yeah, and I just looked it up.
20:38The QBR goes back to 2011.
20:40So it's only been, whatever, 16 years of actual QBR being a thing.
20:46So I would guess Drew Brees if I had to, but I know that's not right based on your setup.
20:52Yeah.
20:52And by the way, like, it doesn't just go back to 2011 because 2011 is when it started,
20:58but then you can go back in time and affix the QBR to games that have already happened.
21:03So, like, for instance, when I look at this list right now, the top individual QBR games of all time,
21:10there are a number of them that predate 2011, including the best one of all time.
21:15And who was that?
21:16His name is Carson Palmer.
21:20Oh, wow.
21:20Carson Palmer, October 25th, 2009, in a 45-10 win over the Chicago Bears, 99.8 is his QBR.
21:31Brock's yesterday was 99.7.
21:33You have to continue the decimals out to sort of figure out who was first, second, third, whatnot.
21:39But Carson Palmer has both the first and the 11th best of all time.
21:44There's a different quarterback that appears four times in the top 10.
21:49Want to take one guess?
21:51Four times.
21:52Drew Brees.
21:53No.
21:54Drew Brees is not even in the...
21:56No.
21:57Drew Brees does not appear on this list.
22:00Lamar Jackson.
22:02Lamar Jackson has four of the top 10.
22:05Colin Kaepernick has the fourth.
22:07Wow.
