Niners get it wrong again. This will be fun to watch

Don’t worry I am bookmarking this to remind you. 49ers will have at least one Super Bowl with Brock by the end of his contract. He won’t have a bunch of MVPs but he will have a ton of wins.

reply

$53M for Brock Purdy!!! 😆😆 this reminds me of Daniel Jones getting $40M and Giants fans saying

Well that’s the market! 😆

Telling you as bills fan I lived the life of a bad team overpaying marginal QB talent. It’s not a fun place to be.

reply

Ok sure Blok. The guy that took the 49ers to the NFC Championship in his first year and Super Bowl in his second year is just exactly like Daniel Jones. It’s pretty easy to criticize everyone else’s QB when your team has the reigning MVP but 32 teams need QBs. I am sure the NFL would be just an awesome product if 28 teams were trying to tank every year in hopes they get the next Allen or Mahomes.

Market rate for a good QB is now 50M but you seem to think if they aren’t top 5 the team should just blow it up and rebuild.

Meanwhile the Eagles just won the SB with a guy most people wouldn’t have put in the top 10 before last season.

reply

Teams and owners are complicit in this inflated QB market.

The niners fell apart when all of the high end offensive skill players got hurt. I think this proved Prudy isn’t good enough to carry a team on his owns

Purdy is good and I’m not saying the niners need the next super star but paying middle of the road QBs top 5 money leads to disaster.

And Hurts is good but Philly has an unbelievable roster. Great GM making great moves.

reply

The 49ers had the worst 4th Quarter defense in the NFL last year. They blew 3 games where they had over 90% win probability in the 4th. It wasn’t just Purdy.

Purdy didn’t have his best year but he also hasn’t played 3 full seasons yet. His game is still developing. He ran more this past year and threw deep more. That was his first year really facing adversity. I suspect it will only make him better.

reply

The pressure is on now. Contract like this over his head. No longer the under dog little darling. Fans will expect him to carry the team. No more excuses

reply

Definitely more pressure now. No doubt about that. We will see when all the contract details come out and how the cap hits are distributed and if the 49ers have any outs. I am actually surprised it wasn’t a bit longer but this gives them room to extend if things are going well and get the later cap hits lowered.

It depends on whether they find a bigger sucker to trade him to.

reply

NFL cap is confusing but I believe with the amount of guaranteed money he’s owed in the first 3 years it makes 0 sense for niners to trade him with the cap penalty they’d get

reply

That might be right. I've never been clear on when salary can be unloaded and when it can't.

Who should they have playing QB if not Purdy? There are only 4 elite QBs in the league and they didn’t have a top 3 draft pick over the last few years where they could have tried to draft a potentially future elite QB. So your idea is they should just sign some guy who isn’t as good for 35-40M instead of paying Brock 53?

The AAV doesn’t matter as the Eagles proved with Hurts. It is how you structure the deal.

reply
reply

That makes it look a lot more reasonable. He's at least not overpaid compared to some of his peers.

reply

Yea, he is probably in the Tua, Prescott etc range of qbs meaning 10-15th best range but that’s a significant amount of cap to pay for a game manager.

Like Goff is also a game manager but surrounded by elite talent. San Fran is in a retooling phase and their best players are getting old by nfl standards.

Will be interesting to see if they can replenish talent and hit on 2-5 round draft picks consistently

reply

He is a top 10 QB but not top 5. I am ok with the contract. It’s a bit more than I would like but the cap is going to take a big jump next year and the Eagles proved you can pay a QB well and still keep an elite team together.

reply
  1. Mahomes
  2. Jackson
  3. Allen
  4. Burrow
  5. Daniels
  6. Goff
  7. Hurts
  8. Herbert
  9. Love
  10. Stroud

Some interchangeability in the above but I’d take them all above purdy on an individual basis.

I think purdy belongs in tier of Stafford Kyler Lawrence Mayfield Tua Prescott etc

reply

I think Purdy belongs in with that Goff through Stafford group. I think Stafford's better than those other guys, but he's getting older and might be more injury prone.

reply

I think Kyler is better than purdy and stafford and has more dynamic upside but keeping him in the 10-15 area for objectivity. That list isn’t meant to be ordered but rather a bucket of guys interchangeable any given Sunday

reply

Would definitely rather have Goff, love, Herbert, stroud, or hurts over purdy or Kyler

Kyler has as much talent as anyone, but he's lacking pretty much all of the intangibles. I'd take Purdy well over Kyler.

Kyler has more talent than Purdy. He is not better than Purdy.

Purdy is better than Goff, Love and Herbert. Love and Herbert have more talent but neither has proved it yet. I would probably have Purdy around 8. I would also have Stafford and Mayfield in top 10.

reply

It’s risky business to keep hoping on cheap labor to overachieve

reply

He’s massively overpaid haha the market can be mis pricing QBs (Dak, Tua, Jones, hurts, )

reply

Hurts won a SB

reply

On pure talent hurts is overpaid

reply

Hurts brings a different intangible dimension leadership and competitiveness wise.

Also probably the strongest qb in the league short yardage wise

reply

The Eagles can afford it, because they draft so well.

reply

I am just going to leave this here for my friends @BlokchainB and @HardMoney.

reply

Those are impressive numbers. Purdy is a fun story regardless being Mr irrelevant

Wild they took Trey lance 1 year earlier in that trade up

reply

Purdy saved them after the Trey Lance debacle.

I am surprised it is only a 5 year extension
