Brock Purdy mentioned, “Honestly, man, I don’t think Jimmy and Trey get enough credit for what they’ve done. I’m just now coming on the scene where these guys have been here, throughout the offseason for Trey, and Jimmy coming in and leading these guys, and winning… So a big credit to Jimmy and Trey for what they’ve done, especially in the quarterback room, for the team, and I’m just trying to do my part in terms of where we’re at now in the season. So definitely not all praise to Brock and what Brock’s done. Those guys, they deserve all the credit.”
