honestly, this hasn't been the impression i've gotten. If anything during the Cowboy game, it almost seemed like they praised Brock's decision to go to Iowa State. Pretty much saying parents send your kids to schools like Iowa State. Where they will get time to develop their game instead of looking over their shoulder each year if they struggle.
Yes I have heard a lot of talk about "go where you can start/play/excel" rather than worry about being on the absolute best team. Playing time is more critical for a qb than any other position I believe.
I’d say that “improvement” has (far) less to do with the respective coaching staffs than the supporting cast on offense on each team.
Sure, Brock’s now going up against NFL defenses, but he’s really benifited from playing with a great oline, receiving core, and backs.
I’m so tired of hearing that. It’s the NFL. Everybody has weapons and good lineman.
Also look at the 4 remaining teams. They probably are 4 of the most talented rosters in the league. Others would maybe be Bills and Chargers but the Chargers are cursed or something lol.
There are quite a few teams that have below average lines. Including my Vikes. Sorry if you ‘so tired’ of hearing that too.
Things have sort of falling Brock's way, there is no doubt about that. Don't forget that the 49ers cut another QB from their roster to keep Purdy, so they had a pretty good idea he was better than they thought after a short period in camp. Honestly, I have been really impressed with some of the throws he has made. He looks like he has a little more zip on the ball than he did at ISU. Most of the media give him very little chance this weekend. We will see.
I think every team does have weapons. Every team has some good linemen. Most don't have enough good linemen or weapons. The 49ers have a lot of both, but the remain teams do too.
I don't know that he was lucky to end up on the 49ers. John Lynch has said that they were wanting to get him as an UFA, but didn't want to risk him going somewhere else, so they used the pick. There aren't many teams that would take a chance on a QB like that...undersized, below average arm strength. 49ers have the perfect system for his skill set and they likely knew it. Obviously, they didn't think he'd be playing this season, but you knew they really liked him when they let Sudfeld go. And, they didn't bring in a vet when Lance got hurt.
