The pressure is absolutely a huge part of it. It’s one of the reasons why being a starting quarterback in the NFL is, as Steve Young says, “the most impossible job in the world.” That’s exactly what it is. And that pressure is heightened to an even greater degree when you’re the starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, the crown jewel of west coast sports franchises. And yeah, it’s because of what Joe and what Steve did and the standard that was set here. And though the team has gone through a ton of ups and downs since then, that standard doesn’t change. That standard of greatness IS the 49ers, especially at the quarterback position. People can talk about “oh, that’s not fair” all they want. But as that old sage Yogi Berra said, “it is what it is”. And so yeah, it does take a rare dude to be able to shoulder that burden. Absolutely it does. But a truly special competitor wouldn’t have it any other way. The expectation is greatness and that’s also the acceptable range of outcomes for THIS franchise. Maybe other franchises and fan bases are cool with “pretty good”. This isn’t that franchise. This isn’t that fan base.
Most 49ers fans are young and dumb. Kyle can’t win with just any qb. If he could we wouldn’t be here today talking about Purdy. Did everyone forget about Tray Lance?

Ya but, Brock doesn’t deserve the bag. Most 49er fans believe Kyle can win with any QB.

Might be the dumbest comment I've read we do not think that
