Surely this must have happened before unless something about a playoff game is missing in the statement. Fake edit, just looked at this year’s schedule: Murray and Stanford are in the same division, they played Mayfield, Lawrence, and Burrow this year. That covers the first round picks for 2009, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 and I did not look at the last 3rd of last season when Purdy took over. The last pick starting QB is the hard part of that pairing to find, first round picks are a dime a dozen.

Jared Goff was selected with the very first pick in the draft, no one was selected before him that year. Brock Purdy was selected with the very last pick of the draft, no one was drafted after him that year.

And they face each other Sunday as starting quarterbacks.

Sorry if I worded it poorly.

Secondary thought: who do you take if you're building a team? I was never real high on Goff and both he and Purdy are kind of "system" QB's that seem to need everything set up really well rather than carrying an offense. I think I'd take Brock Purdy straight up.

I think the only reason to take Purdy is contract considerations. Goff's shown twice that you can build a legitimate contender around him, despite his flaws, and there's still serious questions about what Purdy would even be if you took away this precise system and a roster of all-pros helping him out.

That is how I interpreted "overall" as well, but what is confusing me is that that statement true is for the examples I gave as well, but I must be interpreting the statement incorrectly since everyone is telling me so (without any playoff qualifiers).

Matt Stafford was selected with the very first pick, no one was selected before him that year. Brock Purdy was selected with the very last pick of the draft, no one was drafted after him that year. They played each other 9/17/23.
Joe Burrow was selected with the very first pick, no one was selected before him that year. Brock Purdy was selected with the very last pick of the draft, no one was drafted after him that year. They played each other 10/29/23.
Trevor Lawrence was selected with the very first pick, no one was selected before him that year. Brock Purdy was selected with the very last pick of the draft, no one was drafted after him that year. They played each other 11/12/23.
Baker Mayfield was selected with the very first pick, no one was selected before him that year. Brock Purdy was selected with the very last pick of the draft, no one was drafted after him that year. They played each other 11/19/23.
Kyler Murray was selected with the very first pick, no one was selected before him that year. Brock Purdy was selected with the very last pick of the draft, no one was drafted after him that year. They played each other 12/17/23.

It literally happened 3 games in a row earlier this year, so I was originally just trying to see where the novelty of that happening this game is (outside of Lions in the championship game). The hard part is getting a last overall pick who plays multiple games/seasons, after that every game is breaking some record because there have been 6 Mr. Irrelevant QBs in the Superbowl Era, and he is the only one that has actually played as far as I can tell without doing any research on the other 5, though I guess Chad Kelly took a knee once.

The novelty is it happening in the conference championship game of all places. Purdy is basically the only Mr. Irrelevant who has ever actually been Relevant.

It's a fair consideration. You're getting a majority of the production of a true elite QB for a tiny fraction of the price.

It's why the window for the 49ers is really this and next season, before he's extension eligible and you're having to pay him 40m a season and his value is gone.

The window for the 49ers is open for as long as they have Shanahan.

They made deep playoff runs with Jimmy G at quarterback.

Jared Goff has Ben Johnson calling plays for him and Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, and Jahmyr Gibbs to carry the load on offense. Let's not pretend he isn't getting help from his supporting cast as well.

How much of that was a mid QB, and how much of that was Jimmy G was hurt for a significant portion of his tenure? Trey Lance was a stupid gamble he made but I don't know how much of it was on the fact that they had a mid level QB vs they had Jimmy G

Depending on who you believe, Shanahan wanted Mac Jones and not Lance. Considering his love of Kirk Cousins that isn't really that hard to believe

He was desperately trying to trade 3 first round picks for Mac Jones.

And even after effectively throwing away three first rounders his team is still, once again, contending with a mid-qb.

Significant reasons that Shanahan hasn’t won a SB in his niners tenure are things beyond his control, injury luck, random bounces of the ball, the inevitability of Mahomes, etc.

E: 28-3 tho

Yeah, which is why he was reportedly trying to lure Brady out of retirement this offseason.

Dude has a system that can win with middling QB's and really doesn't want to be doing that.
