49ers Kyle Juszczyk tells funny story about Brock Purdy telling vets to ‘shut up’ in huddle

A QB's "shut up" does not come from intimidation or dominance. It comes the necessity of getting the play called on time. I'm sure he is not worried about who is talking or anyone's feelings. It is just to get the information out in an efficient way.

[curtthechameleon]

He's not demanding respect, that's what I respect him for. He's just being himself.

[geosync]

When he stood in there to take a crushing blow from a pass rusher to deliver an accurate pass down field I knew he had game. That takes nerves and skill.

[sawmillsam]

Awesome player coming through when needed and giving the fans hope for the playoffs!!
Go niners!

[erfanoz]

Ol' buddy never panics when the rush comes . Courage under fire . Love this rookie

[tuomasholo]

Brock is a quick study. He’s mastered the play book. Go niners.

[WillGGG]

What I like about Purdy other than his confidence and execution is his accuracy. He throws a deep ball accurately, something Garappolo has never done. He also puts the ball in a place where the receiver can run.

[Saxxin]

I hope he wins the SB. No rookie QB has won a SB. Imagine if the first one to do it was also a Mr. Irrelevant.

[penoyer]

ive been watching football for far too long to get too excited after 3 starts... but he's certainly going to make the last chapter of this season very exciting.

A true leader in the making. He is handling this like a 3-5 year QB with experience. He might not be the best arm, the biggest guy, but he has the qualities that can assist him in succeeding. This system fits him perfectly and all he has to do is manage it without turning it over and he will be looked at like the leader of the offense. I have been a 49ers fan since 1989 and there has been times when I have gotten excited about certain teams. When Steve Young took over, When Kaepernick took over and now, when Purdy has taken over. Think about it, only three times in the past 30 years have I been excited about a QB taking over.

[jordanash]

Kyle’s so well spoken. Bet you when he retires he’s gonna go into broadcasting

[TheOgrande]

Brock definitely have potential in the NFL. I believe he can do great things with the 49ers. He is humble. He have good work ethics.

[kevinher]

Brock's mindset is that action is more important than words/yapping.

[f.demascio]

Almost a year later and I still love this story.

[UncleSalty]

When another long time veteran talks about Purdy in such glowing terms, you know he is doing the right things. What a revelation late in the season!

[landdd]

Deebo & Kittle talking about one play
Brock: Shut up
everyone: respect earned.

[fmrscout]

His performance thus far, shows how inadequate the ISU offense was (in all aspects). He has that DAWG in him, but never saw greatness in college, due to having an inferior team around him. I know the comparison is highly controversial, but there was a QB a couple decades ago, that came out of nowhere, got picked in the 6th round, and is now.... the GOAT. I wish him all the best, and this comes from a fan of his rival school (Iowa). There's something cool about watching a former Cyclone, throwing to a former Hawkeye (Kittle).

[NinersOnTheGo]

I think the guys will all take a few 'shut ups!' from Brock the rest of the way if leads to a big prize at the end

[stevencahn]

Given how much Kitte likes to get amped up, it wouldn't surprise me if he has been on the receiving end of a few of those "shut ups" from BCB. I think Kittle took Purdy under his wing because he sees his rookie self in BCB.

You EARN respect, you don’t demand it.
