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

$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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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.
