Will Blackman, 12 years in the league.

He'll be on speak after us.

He calls himself the intern at Fox Sports as he continues to learn the trade.

He likes to suck up information, very curious type of person, Will Blackman.

I think that's why we get along.

So let me ask you this.

I made this argument earlier is that from Matt Hasselbeck sixth round,

Romo, Kurt Warner undrafted, Brady, Dak, Prescott, fourth round.

About every third or fourth year in this league, we find a quarterback deep in the woods.

And I look at Brock Purdy and everybody's dismissing it at it's Kyle Shanahan.

Well, Trey Lance isn't working there. It's the system. Skyler Thompson's not working in Miami.

It works with Tua. It worked with Garoppolo. And it works with Purdy. He led the NFL and passer rating in those eight games he played and didn't get hurt. What about this? Brock Purdy's a franchise quarterback. And every four or five years, we find one of these guys in the woods. Fifth, six, seventh round. When you watch him, do you see a franchise guy we need to see it again that's how that's

how that's how always is is when somebody does something well it's like okay we need to see it again

give us a full 18 you know let him actually see some legit adversity let you know now we have a full

year film on this guy.
