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

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.

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

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

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.

Dump York was a very real thing being said amongst the Faithful during the lean years. Jed has done a fantastic job with the team.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

“The cream always rises to the top” - Macho Man Randy Savage

Jed York use to not always be like that….He was the one who press the self destruct button to give Jim Harbaugh his walking papers. Then the whole team either requested a trade, retired early, etc

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.

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.

Not too long ago we were all calling for York to sell the team because of his handling of Harbaugh. Now he’s grown and lets the guys he put in place do their thing and we respect the hell outta him

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.

He wasn't always this way, we had some tough years back in the harbaugh era

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.

QB3 was Nate Sudfeld, QB4 was Brock

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!"

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.

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.

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.

Youngstown guy right here, they used to have their training camp here back in the day, and the 49 logo is (or at least was) on the debartalo building

Shout out Youngstown, Ohio!!!

My cow worker called it too in pre season he went to the training camps and told he like the purdy guy more then trey and jimmy I was like who tf is purdy

The show is Killing it as always. Thanks boys

Purdy Dawgggggggg

I saw him play for Iowa, he looked amazing there, too. He was just missed by the scouts.

Same situation in Pittsburgh

I'm happy for the 49ers and purdy. Excellent coaching. And great ownership.

Yes and cam talks about he got handed the keys, man Brock is a great qb

Watch this speech, then go back and watch his uncle Eddie Debartolo Jr (the best owner ever) and you will see that Jed is like him. He is genuine.... loves his people and team. He is also in his 40's so maturity has set in.

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.

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 was once reviled by the fan base for his issues with Jim Harbaugh. But lately I almost never hear from him. Which is perfect as he is the CEO of a FOOTBALL TEAM. You know who he should speak to? Product Licensers. Facility staff. Other owners. The League. The city of Santa Clara. Not the media.

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.

It’s hard to imagine that after only one week the head coach believe “he could be our guy”. Certainly doesn’t say much for all the “talent scouts” with all the teams in the NFL.

Jed has definitely seemed to have matured. I remember the dude wasn't so grounded back in the day.

Jed York and Paraage Marathe (the 49ers cap guy and literally the best in the business, look it up) went to Notre damn together and took over the team as a 32yo. Struggled initially obviously, but he wants to win and the only thing fans should want from their owner is a true desire to win, cause not all do. Im a fan as a 49ers fan.

Week 1 of training camp of last year ??? Jeez Jimmy and trey probably knew too

I’m old school, Vick as a Falcon is my QB and the Eagles since Cunningham my team but there’s just something special about how Purdy conducts himself that makes him admirable.

Love It Pat ThePatMcAfeeShow Bro Let's Gooooooooo.

Poor Nate Sudfeld keeps getting ignored. We paid him a couple of million to be the #2 QB if JimmyG got traded and, if not, the #3 QB.

That’s an owner whose learned how to let experts run the team. Woody could never

as they say: don't chase bad money with good money

One second yall are saying McCaffrey should be mvp then the next second saying purdy is carrying them lol. Media acting like the 49ers havent been to the superbowl in decades

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. So he has come along and I am glad he got outta the way.

Boy has he come along ways after the "Win with class" quote.

Jed wasn’t always the most likable, but to his credit, he is grown as an owner.

Brock Purdy's story is only growing!!

That's crazy bro

Jed has been way better at running the team then his mom and dad did after Eddie had the issues that cost him his team. Man those were tough years.

Jed’s uncle was the best owner ever.

EDDY DiBartolo never gave up

To say Brock was on a short leash is an understatement. Last year if he had one bad game, they might have pulled him. He just went undefeated the rest of the way until he got hurt and never gave it back.

Man, I remember after the Harbaugh days when we Faithful were begging York to sell the team 😂 his character development has been feature film trilogy level.

He’s a new minion for Eddie Dee

That’s exactly what an owner and GM should do,employ football people to make football decisions and let them do their jobs!!!🏈🏈

York tried to be the Jerry Jones type CEO during the Harbaugh years but since then and since Shanny he's been much more in the background.

It's kind of what happened with Parcells and the Cowboys with Romo.

Look at that sweater! Hawkey baby

mom taking care of jed. must be nice

Best 49er qb since alex smith.

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.

crazy how brock saved kyle from getting clowned on for the trey lance trade

The Faithful have known Jed since his Uncle Eddie would drag his butt through the locker rooms in the late 80's. He's been a fixture around the Marie DeBartolo complex for decades. The Niners have had all this success in recent years and you guys didn't even know what he looked like? That's hilarious. Go Niners.

As a 49ers fan for 40 years, yes, I knew exactly what Jed York looks and sounds like. And we watched Jim Harbaugh try and badmouth this guy and blame him for the complete s-strom he left this team in. And now we know the problem was, indeed, Jim Harbaugh. So, good luck, Chargers. You're gonna need it!

He is following in Eddie D's footsteps very well. Except the winning rings part. Hopefully he avoids riverboats and politicians better than Eddie did, lol.

"letting it play out the correct way" is playing your best player. what a chump

The opposite of what Tomlin did. He knew Mason Rudolph was the best QB on the roster, yet he gave Titty Kisser Trubisky and Tiny Hands Pickett chance after chance before he finally gave in.

now we know why kyle kept trying to hurt lance by running him.......

There was a time the fans wanted to put out a hit on Jed York. He learned his lesson and promised to fix it. There was a long clip on it. He definitely fixed his mistakes.

I give a lot of credit to Jed for his growth as an owner. He did act entitled and wasn’t a good owner from the jump. He learned from his mistakes and finally found a team of football people to run that side very well. He took a step back from speaking in public about things and lets the football people run the show. Now he’s become a very good owner. His ability to learn and adjust has changed Niners fans view of him. Good job Jed.

Always thought it was a little strange why they were running Trey up the middle almost every play. Now it makes sense.

Having Eddie DiBartolo in your ear is a huge benefit. He was the architect of the Bill Walsh era 49ers. I hated Jed when he fired Harbaugh, but I think he has grown a lot since then and I respect him now. Maybe he was a good CEO then, too, but I was too upset with Harbaugh's firing to see it. Glad I can be a 49er fan again since he hired Lynch and Shanahan.

Wait - you've been doing this show for - how long? - and this is the first time you've seen/heard Jed York?

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...? Watch his tape lol, the kid is clearly a good QB

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

This was cold to share though.

I'm pretty sure Pat is wearing a Citizen Tsuyosa, thoughts?

I remember when Levi's hosted the SB. There was a fan on a pregame show that said, "Shout out to Jed York for ruining our franchise"

The work of a team should always embrace a great player but the great player must always work.

You can't cheat to the #1 dept chart standing from the bottom without real talent. Brock Purdy is a rare finding!

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

Why would Pat bring up nepotism and then act like he doesn’t mean it in a negative way? No sense of bringing it up if you’re going to walk it back immediately

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

Jed York learned his lesson with Jim Harbaugh leaving… They tried hiring Chip Kelly, and then promoted Tomaula, but those were sad times for Niners. Kaepernick was booted, and there was a rebuild with Lynch and Shanahan. I haven’t heard Jed York’s name for almost 9 years, and that’s a good thing. Get out of the way and let football guys make football decisions.

Jed has really grown into this job. Wow.

Keep up the frank discussion. It may soon require more effort. Either way the result goes. Purdy is unreal. But also very real.

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

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.

Pat your the man and you have been behind brock the hole time.. 😮😂🎉

Building the future from the past in the present with a novel concept

Jerry Jones could learn something from the York family😅

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.

One of the best owners in sports 🌁🏈💯 we pay and take care of our players and coaches

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