[@oozieneinmillimeeda]

Brock was actually 4th string and beat out the 3rd stringer Nate Sudfeld, who was on a $2mil fully guaranteed contract

[@Draconisrex1]

This is true!

[@justsomegirlwithoutamustach]

Yeah I think Brock was wearing #14 with no last name on his jersey at that point

[@larryjennings1946]

He was the QB3 behind Lance and Sudfeld. Garoppolo hadn't stepped on the field at this point.

[@TheCruz269]

No such thing as a 4th string QB

[@macmoore4314]

I went to the practice where Jimmy wasnt cleared yet. I watched Trey, Sudfeld, and Brock. Trey looked bad, I thought Sudfeld and that last guy looked good...come to find out 😂😂

[@Kaylynyang24]

Between 2015-2016, the 49ers' fanbase paid an anti-Jed York banner to fly over Levi's stadium. Shortly after that, Jed hired John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan to run the football operations. Say what you want about Jed, but he listens to the fans and we can see he has matured.

[@normaespinoza9143]

Yup, no 49er fan was a fan of Jed.

[@DJB6969]

They’re having Jim harbaugh on in the next segment to suck him off. The awareness of these guys is wild😂 no research at all. (For those that don’t know ole Jed fired harbaugh after however many winning seasons and playoff/SB appearance)

[@antonyzmolek1234]

[@DanielGonzalez-vo5ni]

I actually liked Jed not all his decisions but he did bring us Harbaugh in the 1st place not his fault we lost against the Ravens but its obvious he cares and has always put in effort

[@g.d.filmworks]

You shouldn't know what the owner looks like. The best thing Jef ever did for the bay is get out of the way. The faithful remembers when he first got the job, he was trying to be Jerry Jones

[@doop408]

Those Harbaugh days were so turbulent for Jed’s ego. Glad Jed has matured since then!

[@devestv]

Yes, I remembered those days. I am glad he did not turned out to be like Jerry Jones.

[@Flirken1]

Niners are the cowboys of the NFC west. Haven’t won a SB in 30 years and every year is your year to win it all and you don’t. Niners only have 1 SB since the salary cap was implemented.

Not too certain where this disgruntledness is from? Niners Faithful believe in the team(s).... We dont think we are better than you, we hope our team shows up and wins.... Isnt that how every fanbase should want to be? It always confused me when i was younger, how there were ANY browns fans left... The franchise is cursed

[@nickF_CA]

Being a SF fan having been thru the harbaugh era and now hearing someone say "never seen this owner" is hilarious 😂

[@squidusn71]

Yep, I remember. That was an ugly time. After JH was let go, Balke made Tomsula the interim hc instead of Fangio. Fangio probably would've been the next hc, but Balke got Kelley instead. I also remember the plane, lol, flying around with a banner that said, fire jed York. Then Jed came on the news and said that he's the owner and can't be fired, lol. Balke controlled Jed until his departure.

[@jurassicturtle3666]

After watching Jed's interview, I have a totally different view of him. He seems like a much wiser, more grounded person than back when Harbaugh was pushed out. Props to him for the success of the organization after accepting some hard truths about the way things were going.

[@vreel3366]

Baalke manipulated jed because he knew how to and jed was young.

Lots of Yuck Fork back in the day lol. He has matured so much since then, he's a great owner now

[@ClarenceBeeks64]

"Dump York" and fans wanting David Carr to start over Alex Smith was a very dark time for the 49ers faithful. Us real fans know how impactful Purdy is to the 49ers.

[@dsimpson530]

A lot of fans rolled up his dad's actions (Dr John York) with Jed's issues with Baalke and Harbaugh. I specifically remember he went to his uncle Eddie D for advice on how to return the family culture his uncle established in the 80's, and you clearly hear that from the players that they are a family

[@justaguy328]

Man, I remember those lean years lol. It was rough brother! haha

[@aldoinfanzon]

I think this explains why Shanahan was so chill after loosing Jimmy G in the Dolphin’s game of the last season, while fans got freaked out thinking the season was over

[@arieerkkila]

Also I think this explains why Kyle ran Trey into the ground as fast as possible. He knew it was a matter of time before Trey got hurt with those inside runs. Jimmy too considering his history.

[@darrylb9872]

@@arieerkkila This is a conspiracy theory, plain and simple. You have zero proof of any of these accusations.

[@doggpound9319]

​@@arieerkkila that's exactly what I was thinking, Jimmy is injury prone so the only problem left was getting Trey out the way so Brock could play.

[@shauncampbell4371]

They might be referencing the 0-10 start that prompted the trade for Jimmy G. The 49ers won 6 straight and finished 6-10. They locked up Jimmy to a 5 year $137 million contract.

[@ArrestedDeveloper]

I think the DeBartalo family owned the 49ers but Eddie DeBartalo ran it during they hey day. Their family were developers and would open casinos and such and he got caught up "greasing the wheels" of some politician to speed up the permitting for a Riverboat Casino in like Missouri or something. NFL made him get out so his Sister, Jed York's mother, took over.

[@vissermatt1058]

The team was originally bought by their Mall Mogul grandfather if i remember correctly? The ownership so to speak has been passed around like a weird family heirloom, the fact thst the franchise has had so much success over the decades is probably the weirdest part.

[@subversivevegan]

Jed has become a great owner. Rarely seen or heard except at appropriate times. Hire good people and let them do their jobs! PS: He learned the hard way.

[@TexasShaka]

Additionally Pat FYI. Jed is flying the WHOLE STAFF all the way to Janitorials to Las Vegas for the Superbowl. He Character crap load of jets to fly them.

[@aarondancil310]

Eddie Debartolo got caught doing some sports betting back in the day and gave ownership to his sister

[@philiphoffman4617]

Not sports betting

[@rgrey]

Eddie D was forced to relinquish to his sister after he pleaded guilty of failing to report a felony when he paid former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards $400,000 in exchange for a riverboat gambling license

[@jeffreypark]

He wanted a riverboat casino license in Louisiana. And getting anything done with the corrupt LA govt required making payments to the right people. He was doing what was normal in LA politics and the governor got caught and took Eddie down with him.

[@calebadams9337]

It was riverboat gambling and Eddie DeBartolo was trying to buy a Governor and the Governor exposed him. After the exposure, the NFL forced Eddie D out of ownership and so Eddie D kept a family owned strip mall and he gave the 9ers to his sister to avoid selling the team.

[@cmbells7736]

​@@jeffreyparkwow... nice virtue signal der buddy.

[@UTubePhoenix]

Jed York was the BEST thing that happened to the 9ers. We were screaming for the Yorks to sell the team and after they gave him the reigns: 1. New stadium* (even if it is in Santa Clara) 2. Hired Coach Harbaugh, with Kaepernick taking over from Alex Smith 3. Hired Shanahan/Lynch, and gave them the tools to shine. Jed doesn’t get enough credit because he sits back out of the limelight with the team’s success, but I remember when his parents were running (ruining) the team and putting Jed in front was the smartest football decision the Yorks made.

[@nadjasunflower1387]

yeah...he also had his goofs as well. you left those out. 1) Hired a GM in Balke who would then manipulate him in a power struggle with the HC. 2) fired HC who took you to the super bowl 3) spent the next 4) years one and done coaches creating a complete bottom feeder roster of " talent " No coach wanted this job when Kyle took it, even Kyle didn't want it because at that point 9ers was a dumpster fire, created by Jed. That's why Kyle's first contract was 6 years and extremely costly to make sure if Jed one an doned him, it would hurt the pockets. Give him something to think about before doing it. I give Jed credit in that he learned, got good people in his building and let them do their jobs.

[@dluxx7378]

Totally agree, as I said above we 49ers fans are lucky to have him as our owner. He wants to win and while he's made mistakes (Singletary/Tomsula/Martz) but he truly wants to win and not every owner does.

[@joshcaldwell7523]

His uncle was one of the greatest owners in professional sports history. You should learn a little about 49er history before saying wildly inaccurate things like that

[@JD_49]

That stadium is a billion dollar FU to fans and the team. doesn't provide a great home field advantage as the noise easily escapes, the fan experience is VERY poor hence why they have tried to see if they can modify it and put on a roof. That stadium should be on the list of why York sucks. The box seats are great and that's what he cared about when they decided to spend a billion dollars, not the team or fans

[@dluxx7378]

@@JD_49 York is a top 5 owner and you sound like a spoiled brat. The 49ers are one of a handful of teams trying to actually win every year, you should be thakful. Imagine being a MN, or a Chi, or a NYG, or a CAR, or a TN fan. Teams who care about making $ but not reeaaally about winning.

[@ericwilson8034]

What's really funny is that I have always been an Iowa Hawkeyes fan. I obviously knew Brock Purdy played for Iowa State because they play each other every year. I saw Brock Purdy in the pocket in the preseason games and I said to literally all my Iowa friends that he's playing in the NFL like a starting QB. You can always tell how they use their feet in the pocket. Truly a hardworking individual Brock is.

[@anthonystarke893]

49ers fans definitely know who Jed is. He's grown a lot from the Harbaugh fiasco. Many of us were not happy with him, but he definitely grew from that experience and has been awesome when it comes to laying out money with signing bonuses and doing whatever he can to help John and Kyle construct this team.

[@TheBigBigSean]

As a long time Niner fan, York is my age, he grew up with Eddie D and all those Super Bowl rings. He always wanted to just win the SB. So he got a lot of a flack early in his tenure as owner. From the Alex Smith over Rodgers, the Singletary hiring, to the Harbaugh tenure, he was always in the mix. But he eventually learned to trust his GM and head coach to take the reigns. He's now looked at as one of the best owners in the league by his fan base, we just need to seal the deal with one more win.

[@DanielGonzalez-vo5ni]

Pretty sure Alex and Singletary weren't really him as I recall he became Harbaugh was his 1st act in his current role

[@evflyguy]

Jed was probably most famous (or infamous) for when the Niners were slumping and people were calling for his job he responded publicly by saying, and I'm paraphrasing, "Ha! You can't fire the owner!"

[@brojob5102]

I think Jed York is a rare example of fans being wrong about ownership lol. When he first got the gig he certainly had an ego about him and things got rocky with Harbaugh and the ensuing clown show that the niners were until 2018, but credit to him, he has led the way in building one of the best rosters and one of the best cultures in the league.

[@EflowNivek]

Well tbf he was an absolute ass at first high on the smell of his own farts probably had a bit of Baalke the wormtongue in his ear, but he has since learned humility and stayed out of the limelight.

[@Noblewar]

I really believe Ed (Jed's uncle and legendary previous owner of the 49ers) has been playing a part of how Jed runs this franchise behind the scenes.

[@johnhoover3345]

Noblewar, I completely agree. I've thought this for a few years now. He sure ain't relying on his Mom or Dad for advice as to how to run this franchise. I'm sure there's a Hot Line straight to Eddie's office desk at home. "Hey Unc, this has come up, how should I handle it..?"

[@b-radg916]

I’ve thought that too. Denise and John were a disaster, and they should be the last people he asks for advice, but Uncle Eddie? ABSOLUTELY!!!

[@stewartlynton9942]

If they had moved him to the top of the depth chart and thrown him in week 1, would he have performed or drowned under the pressure like so many other rookie QB's have done in the past? He may have struggled the opening game or two and team leadership may have thought, "Well, maybe he isn't the guy" and dropped him too soon. Even just those extra few weeks on the bench practicing against one of the best D's in the league would've helped him immensely in getting used to the speed of the NFL if nothing else and coming in as an injury replacement rather than being promoted OVER the other guys comes with a little less pressure to perform immediately. Of course perform immediately is what he did.

Shanahan recognized Purdy was their best QB in week 1 of training camp. Purdy's first game was week 7, 2022 on the last drive, and York made a sarcastic comment about Brock's play. It wasn't until week 13 against the Dolphins that the legend Purdy began. So 13 weeks after training camp is really when York didn't even know what Shanahan already knew in week 1 of training camp. My point? Let people who know how to do their job do their job.

[@mikekun155]

The Niners as a whole have been a class act. Fred Warner has been on record saying when Purdy became the starter after Lance went down saying Brock would dice their defense up and that Brock would be just fine. CMC even said he picked up most of the plays quick because Purdy was helping him out. A rookie was literally helping an all world back pick up the plays. The whole team knew Brock had it but kept it classy This is going to be one for the books if Brock can actually carry the team all the way and I am excited to be watching it in real time.

Jed has been around and growing up with the Niners since he was a child. His Uncle Eddie D was the Guy for many years running things. He was tough on Bill Walsh at times but many players loved working for him. Eddie took care of his players. Eddie ran into some legal issues and had to divest from Ownership. Jed watched what his Uncle did and was asked to take over things at a young age. Being a Niner fan my whole life and watching from the outside I think Jed has handled this as well as anyone could. Being handed the keys to the kingdom at a young age could be recipe for disaster and it has been anything but that. Good on Jed.

i mean all he really had to do was beat out a college kid (who’s an unknown to us) and Jimmy G, and even then it wasn’t as if it was so glaring after that 1 week that they just scraped their original plan to begin with. still took a considerable amount of factors and luck for Purdy to get the job.

[@usofliberty]

The reason the team went from brother to sister was because the brother was forced to get out due to gambling accusations. He hired an idiot to manage the team and it drove the team into the ground for a long time. He finally fired the idiot manager and brought in Lynch but the faithful were flying airplanes around the bay with "FIRE JED YORK" signs hanging off the back of em.

Jed started off rough with the Niners, clashed a lot with Harbaugh in the early years, and a lot of fans were upset with him because they felt like he ruined a really great team with a great coach. He interfered a ton back then. We went through a lot of bad coaches and a terrible roster, but all credit in the world to Jed York. He hired Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch, gave them a ton of support through some really tough years, stayed out of the limelight, and let them build a fantastic culture. The fact that people don't know who he is shows that he subscribes to the same mentality the Niners have shown throughout the Shanahan years: no individual is more important than the team, and you only win when you put your egos aside, stay unselfish, and do your job well.

I will toot my own horn on this. I watched highlights of Purdy in college during training camp and told family members to watch his highlights and that he's a legit QB and I was stoked we picked him up. It was clear that the guy knew how to play the position. I guess NFL scouts have to evaluate based on physical comparisons to every other QB to play and if they don't have the physical characteristics within a specific percentile, then it negatively affects their scouting reports...?

Jed was given the keys to the castle way too young giving us the 2003-2010 drought, but he's kept the 9ers tradition intact from an owners perspective.

I hope if Prudy win the superbowl and get interviewed he should say Steph Best Quote " WHAT THEY GONA SAY NOW!!"

Jed York ran Jim Harbaugh out of town. I’ll give it to him that he learned and it worked out in the end but I haven’t forgotten what happened the last time he started talking.

[@RampageRich]

Jed is the nepo baby that we Bears fans wish the McCaskey's were lol

[@unreal2005]

Jed york was hated for many years after siding with the crappy gm trent baalke, over jim Harbaugh, and eventually, JH leaving the niners.

[@aradoran]

I wish the Steelers’ org would come to the same conclusion

[@gmedrano3720]

After Harbaugh left, every niner fan wanted him out. It wasn’t until he hired Kyle and John that he stepped away for a few years. I remember seeing him in the 2019 NFC championship game after they won and he handed the trophy to Kyle and stayed out the spotlight. It was crazy because I realized he’s been MIA for a while lol but then seeing him talk about everything kind of seemed weird. Talking about everything before the Super Bowl like the jobs done is weird to me but it seemed genuine. He’s excited but job isn’t done yet JED!

[@josegarcia-xd6lt]

Trust me as a niners fan we hated Jed York until he took a step back and let the John Lynch and Kyle take this team in their vision and direction.

[@gr8mtn]

Jed has really grown into this job. Wow.

[@christhebeard6284]

Jed was bad at first the whole Harbaugh/Jed York debacle was bad it humbled him. He learned and became a great owner.

[@TheGoldenBoot-cz1do]

It's not surprising a successful organization has a good owner behind it lol
