Joe Montana attended the American Century Championship, where he complimented current 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and endorsed his record contract. Montana noted Purdy's consistent performance, particularly in managing expectations after a challenging rookie year, where he reached the NFC Championship Game. He reflected on past skepticism regarding the 49ers' commitment to Jimmy Garoppolo, who had a high-value contract after few games. Montana admires how Purdy operates within himself, avoiding the pitfalls of overreaching common among second-year players.
"So you throw a ball, and he'd see it before everybody else. Him and (Tom) Brady, the greatest of all time."
"He plays within himself. Usually you see in the second year - which he didn't really do much - is try so much to be better."
