Alex Smith is like Hayden Christensen to Star Wars; both obsessively ridiculed by many during their time but you look back on it now and realize they were FAR from the problem.
I love the contribution of all of these guys to this discussion, but it's amazing to see how Alex Smith has grown over the years. His experience is so unique because of all the expectations and the struggle he went through, but he carried such a spirit of generosity when talking about mentorship, teamwork, and empathy. I was so proud of him when he finally turned it around on the field, but I respect him even more after watching him talk during this panel.
Joe seems like a jerk. My brother and I saw he and Jennifer at SFO on an escalator and my brother was like “Hey Joe!” and he didn’t even look at us. I get not wanting to be bothered but there weren’t many people around and he completely ignored us. 🤷♂️ thought it was odd not to even acknowledge a fan.
Upward arrow. Stands to reason, Brock makes one more quantum leap with another year experience and a whole offseason to prepare for 2024. Window still wide open for this core group.
What a wonderful gathering of heroes, gladiators, as my history teacher always referred to us athletes in class who played for the school team (includine myself)...football an American sport, 49ers an American phenomenal movement in American history. The second team to have that relationship to our beloved country. (Patriots, the other team) David thanks for covering the event.
@@treyvonjackson9293Greatest professional victim of our time. I'm guessing the grift is getting a bit stale by now. Must be difficult to find new revenue streams when your entire past football life has been self-created drama and trauma. But let's be real, he would have been an awful addition to that panel. Everything is about him and what a victim he is of nothing. The rest of his life, especially when the money really dries up, will probably be miserable and full of regret. Especially being radicalized by that woman.
@@jmac6743Hahaha I thought I was the only one still salty enough about Kaep to rant about him.the last 2 seasons with him he was a parasite not only to the 49ers, but the NFL. He lost weight, accuracy, and his attitude was shit. They pay attention to how much time you are logged into your playbook and film study nowadays, and I learned his last season he spent less time on his playbook and film study than people in the practice squad.
Smith had so much pressure, lesser players would have crumbled. Garcia was so awesome, just wish he'd been given better tools. I think Brock will understand that come contract time. He'll earn big contract but he surprised if he does a Mahomes. Long contract which will aid the team medium/long term.
Thanks for sharing clip of such a great opportunity to hear from past and present QBs that have lead the Niners through out the recent years --brought back memories of witnessing truimph and struggle being a Niner Fan 😂 GO NINERS!😆
Love all these guys. Garcia and Steve were real gritty QB's. They got hit hard when QB's got hit and fought back. Love the stories about Candlestick Park. That was a real stadium. I miss that stadium. Smith was a great QB. Had he had a real good coordinator he would have been a HOF. Felt bad that he lost his job to kap. He was much better than kap, and would have won that SB against Balt.
I love Alex dearly, but I don't think he would have brought them back in the Atlanta game. I thought that in the moment and I still think it now, years later. Kap was a special QB who made the entire NFL recognize the value of athleticism at the position when they forgot about it with Vick. He struggled at some of the stuff Brock does so well now, reading defenses, finding open receivers and throwing with anticipation. Again, no shade to Alex at all, but the Niners have had some difficult decisions to make about QB's over the years, and I do feel people forget how good Kap really was because of all the stuff that happened after.
Steve mentions the ability to settle pressure and adrenaline. Takes me to the Detroit NFC CHAMPIONSHIP game, defense makes that 4th down stop everyone is screaming including the sideline. But look at Brock, grabbing his helmet. It looks no different than him being in a lunch line grabbing his chips and sandwich… it’s incredible. The calmness in his face I can’t even begin to understand how he calms his nerves like that. I honestly think a lot of it is his faith.
Steve Young- traded for (played in USFL) Jeff Garcia - undrafted (played in CFL) Alex Smith - 1st overall pick Brock Purdy - Mr. Irrelevant there is no 1 solution.
I love and appreciate these 4 QBs. But my absolute favorite is Joe Montana. I was privileged to watch him on the field and win 4 SBs (XVI, XIX,XXIII, XXIV) and 3 MVP honors. I will always love Joe and I feel the same with our current QB Brock Purdy.
I hope Kyle has that same Fire as his dad! What Steve mentioned about how he was mad at Steve for not throwing 8 TD's in the Superbowl is awesome. Can't wait for the season to start
I'm so grateful to grow up a 49ers fan. From Atlanta and just happened to jump on the bandwagon in 1989 at 7 years old. I'm a lefty and Steve Young was my absolute hero. These 4 men are such amazing role models and so many memories of life connected to watching them lead and play. Brock Purdy is so f*cking good.
Joe's departure from the 49ers was not amicable. Seifert thought Joe was a has been the last Superbowl year, and asked Joe to tutor Steve. When Joe said no, it's not my job Seifert went ballistic. Steve also thought Joe was being selfish by not helping him. Joe was not willing to help his replacement, and I don't blame him. Joe worked his ass off to help build the dynasty, and didn't get the respect he should have from the team. Joe to me is the GOAT. I was 24 when they won XVI, Joes legacy is what I see.
So much respect for Alex Smith, who's clearly been humbled by his journey. I stood on a table when he ran it in against the Saints, and gasped with everyone else when Aaron Donald piggybacked his reconstructed leg into the ground. I really appreciate hearing his perspective, and I hope he can find more outlets for his voice...coaching, mentoring, whatever.
Brock Purdy is THICK! Wow, he's a lot bigger than I realized. Standing next to offensive lineman makes him appear smaller than he actually is next to regular people. Baby quadzilla! 💪
Kinda wild, one guy who was picked #1 overall sitting next to a guy who was picked dead last and the situations they went into...great point by Garcia!
Jeff Garcia never had not even close to a defense the other 3 QBs had during their successful runs. Always wondered if Garcia would've won a SB with an elite defense
@@bnsuave Crap had ONE good game ... he was a poor QB, couldn't read a defense, couldn't find open receivers, and if his first read wasn't there, he panicked. The DEFENSE carried those teams while he was the QB. Alex led the team while he was the starter.
Respectfully disagree, Alice had a great defense but was a true game manager that held the offense back, that’s why he didn’t get his job back. That’s a fact. Kap had 2 good years, the year he led us to a superbowl with record performances in the playoffs and when he lost to the LOB in the NFCCG…That LOB team roasted HOF Qb manning in the superbowl, like big smackdown. After that year Kap lost Harballs and the league caught up with him, true…but Alice naver played to that level.
@@bnsuave Keep being delusional .... I'm sure it helps you sleep at night. Crap had ONE good game, and rode the defense the rest of the time. That GB playoff game was it - that was his best game, and he never came close to it after that. He also lost his job to BLAINE GABBERT. Alex should NEVER have lost his job to Crap.
You don’t have to get personal because we disagree. You like Alice for some reason, you don’t provide stats or any hard evidence. You don’t like Kap for some reason, I’m guessing because he respectfully kneeled to bring attention to police brutality against black people. Good day.
Not really sure about that. We saw with the Chiefs that Alex Smith couldn't get over the hump, and some of those Chiefs teams were more loaded than the Harbaugh-era Niners. Not to talk bad about Alex Smith given this event, but it was what it was at the time.
Sorry, Brock. I think Wilkes blew the SB in Feb. The D pressured KC all game and Mahpmes had difficulties. Going to a loose "prevent" D at the end was EXACTLY what Mahpmes wanted. He knows how to beat "prevent" D damn well. With a 4 pt lead, they should have kept the pressure on.
Yeah, kind of surprised they weren't there. I know with Kap there would've been controversy because the kneeling stuff, but if it would've been just about football, it would've been great to hear his story too and how he had to show leadership in light of some wanting Alex Smith to get his starting job back, and in light of where those Harbaugh-era Niner teams were. Regarding Joe Montana, it's weird. He still may have a problem with Steve Young from what I understand. But yeah, if we're talking Niner QB's, Montana, Young, Garcia, Alex Smith, Kap, and Purdy should all be there. Even Jimmy G despite the controversy surrounding him when he left the Niners.

Garcia had the heart of a lion. Dude went 100% every play. Would want a guy like that on my side in war.
Jesus
Yea Jeff was a bad ombre...
Jeff garcia was a dog. Dude looks like he could still rock! Gilroy, garlic country!!!
Thee Best garlic!!
Dude, Jeff Garcia is hilarious! He's a very animated storyteller!
Steve is so comfortable with his life and where he is , HOF status is so cool to see
Man Joe and Steve need to reconcile, enough is enough. These platforms needs to have Montana involved. Enough guys!!!!
Joe cool seems pretty sensitive.
He always asks them for money, Montana doesn't have the same loyalty. Every time you see Montana he's probably getting paid.
They’ve been at events together. Not many but Joe has a bunch of businesses he runs
It’s more that Joe was deeply hurt when the niners let him go & he has carried that ever since. Joe wanted to retire as a niner.
Joe seems like a jerk. My brother and I saw he and Jennifer at SFO on an escalator and my brother was like “Hey Joe!” and he didn’t even look at us. I get not wanting to be bothered but there weren’t many people around and he completely ignored us. 🤷♂️ thought it was odd not to even acknowledge a fan.
Each one of these guys gives great insight on football and life.
Steve young was my favorite QB. But what Garcia did made him my 2nd favorite all time. He was so scrappy and gritty on the field.
These guys were awesome
A fearsome foursome! Garcia had a surprisingly good career. Love 'em all!🤩
These guys, THIS TEAM, were and are AMAZING.....not cocky at all. This is why I fell in love with SAN FRANSICO and this team!!! NINERS FAITHFUL 💕!
I was here. very informative kinda TED talk from these great guys

Incredible interviews. Thanks David, Matt, Steve, Jeff, Alex, Brock, 49ers and all.
Jeff Garcia looking like the elderstatesman of the group lol.
Where’s Joe? He played with Dwight. 🤷♂️
Theirs one missing and is the greatest of them all!
Yep… I hate that they don’t include kaepernick in anything

And his coaches were horrible. Nolan almost destroyed him

Thank you Steve Young for bringing things back to why everyone was there. Further evidence of the character strength in the 49ers organization

That was awesome. Niners are in good hands. 😊🎉
enjoyed every single minute of that. thank you!

That's my team 😮. Go 49ers! So many great memories.

That was fantastic. Thank you for uploading! RIP Dwight. Go Niners!

Cmon dawg lol. No diddy
Thanks for posting this David! Much appreciated!
believe it was 7 oc's in 7 years for Alex, it's like learning a new language every year

I didn't listen to intros..so, I thought, "Who's the old bald guy?"... then he spoke, hey Garcia, lol
"They look pretty in shorts," what a great line. If he came up with that on the stage, he should trademark it.
What a great 81 minutes I just experienced.
Brock knows how to dress, he looks really good!
How come Joe wasn’t there?
QB1!!! Purdy!
Top 5 49ers qb just missing montana
And Kap..Kap>> Alice

Check out the footwear of each man.
I want Purdy's boots.
Almost had a heart attack when Garcia didn't notice Steve's fist bump. Can't leave that dude hanging.
I wish he would've asked Steve what the mindset was behind his shoe pairing, lol
warriors with comfortable shoes.
Alex Smith never should’ve been benched for Kaep
Alex would have won a Super Bowl if Jim Harbaugh knew special teams strategies
Not really sure about that. We saw with the Chiefs that Alex Smith couldn't get over the hump, and some of those Chiefs teams were more loaded than the Harbaugh-era Niners.
Not to talk bad about Alex Smith given this event, but it was what it was at the time.
JOE CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT 🙁
It's a cool group of quarterbacks but without Joe Montana come on now
Sorry, Brock. I think Wilkes blew the SB in Feb. The D pressured KC all game and Mahpmes had difficulties. Going to a loose "prevent" D at the end was EXACTLY what Mahpmes wanted. He knows how to beat "prevent" D damn well. With a 4 pt lead, they should have kept the pressure on.

Wheres Joe at!?
Rumor is that he wanted 100k to be there
@@jackiemjacksonjackson9611 Ouch!
Montana is better than Young and has the rings to prove it.
Young is great as well there niners let's love them evenly
I couldn’t hear anything
No Montana?
If I was kyle I wouldn't play brock vs the raiders week 3 pre-season
No Joe?
If Alex Smith started that superbowl in 2013 we wuda won
It was HARBAUGH!!! HE CALLED THREE PASS PLAYS!!! FRANK GORE SHOULD HAVE CARRIED THE BALL!!! OR QB OPTION PLAY
QB gold? Chubba Purdy will be in the draft soon.
It would have been great to see Joe, but Joe isn't that engaging tbh.
Some people are doers and some people are talkers. Joe is not much of a talker.
Steve Young.. And the 3 stooges... 3 blind mice... 3 noodle arms... 3 jokes .. 3 losers...
