Summary
As the 49ers and QB Brock Purdy prepare to face the Eagles in Sunday's NFC Championship, Andy, Ari and Max look back on Purdy's pre-draft appearance on the show last year. What did NFL teams miss about the former Iowa State QB that allowed him to fall to the final pick of the draft?
Can we then use those clues to try to predict which outgoing college QB might be a later-round gem in this year's draft?
Later, we have our first Random Ranking of the year. Earlier this week, Ari lamented that original (non-comic book, non-sequel) movies rarely get made anymore. He mentioned Primal Fear from 1996 as an example of movies that just don't get made now. So Andy decided the guys needed to rank their top five movies of 1996.

| 0:52.2 | Not often we do an NFC championship preview on this show, but there's good reason for it this week because one of our favorite guys to have covered in college is in this game surprisingly, along with one of our other favorite guys who we covered in college. |
| 1:08.3 | He's also kind of surprisingly in this game as a quarterback. |
| 1:16.5 | But we had Brock Purdy on the show last year in the pre-draft process. And I got to thinking, |
| 1:21.3 | you know, can we go through some of the stuff he said and see if he was dropping any clues about that this might happen? Because I, like, I remember when the draft happened and he was Mr. |
| 1:27.3 | irrelevant. I was like, oh, that stinks for Brock. happened and he was Mr. Irrelevant. |
| 1:27.8 | I was like, oh, that stinks for Brock. He's better than that. Like, he doesn't need to be the last pick in the draft. And then, R. You and I were sitting together in Vegas watching games. Remember that rooftop bar out there? Yeah. And Garofalo gets hurt. How can I forget? Garofalo gets hurt playing the dolphins and we're like, oh crap, Brock's going in. |
| 1:48.4 | He hasn't lost sense. |
| 1:50.4 | So it's pretty incredible. |
| 1:53.3 | And so I figured let's see what kind of clues he dropped. |
| 1:56.6 | And then also we can kind of use that to see if we can figure out who among these quarterbacks that are coming out, Stets and Bennett, Max Duggan, Jaron Hall, Jake Hainer. Like, is there one of those guys that could do this, do this next year? So it's so funny about that, Andy, and Max is the king of this. But I will say that if on this show we discover how to identify that beforehand, |
| 2:19.0 | we're going to make a lot of money as pros off. Oh, yeah. We're done. We're quitting the show |
| 2:23.5 | and the NFL teams are hiring. Like, we'll just have bidding wars. We'll continuously increase |
| 2:28.4 | the price. We'll call each other and collude and keep driving the price up as the NFL teams try to pay us more money. |
| 2:35.2 | I like it. |
| 2:37.0 | So, Max, you probably covered Brock in person more than either of us or anybody else to |
