Especially with that OL, WR’s, rb with two bad Achilles and a coach who refuses to change anything he does because his stupid schemes (which often get figured out in the playoffs) are so awesome (and frustrating when you watch another drive stall in the redzone and their idiot kicker misses a fg
While I'm happy for Brock Purdy I just don't see it. Jimmy was good enough with Shanahan, Purdy feels the same but younger. I don't see Brock being a top 5 qb. Top 10 yes, maybe fringe 5 but he is a product of his supporting cast and system imo. But again glad for Purdy
There's no doubt that some of that contract is back pay for what Brock was able to do on essentially a 3rd string back-up's rookie salary
Purdy has proven to a very capable QB, although as deep ball accuracy leave something to be desired and he seems to struggle against tight man coverage not elite
Just a new baseline for the mid league guy I'd guess. I'm jazzed tho, between him and Halliburton ISU has ascended to a producer of occasional stardom.
500,000 a year more than Herbert sounds about right. Trevor Lawrence makes 56 mils a year people. Why did people think Brock was gonna take Baker level money?
Go take a look at other QBs making that kind of money, then look at how many have the same stats, Super Bowl appearances, and NFC championship games. He’s right there with them.

This is unfortunate. Brock is a low ceiling quarterback who played to the top of his level for the last few seasons. It will never get better than what you saw the year they lost to the Eagles. He will not improve.
I have a feeling that they will have a season similar to last year's. This team has missed their window and will be subpar until major changes are made.
Amazing story, but the number of people they had to let go to afford this isn’t worth it. They aren’t a contender without McCaffery in his prime, which might be over.
Congratulations to Brock Purdy. After 2 NFC title games, a Super Bowl appearance and setting the 49ers single season passing record he will finally make over a million dollars this year
I feel like they are paying him retroactively since he has been getting paid almost nothing. His performance has far exceeded what he had been getting in compensation.
Are you sure Diana? Last time I checked, Erin Rodgers isn’t on the Vikings roster, remember his so vehemently defended your misguided story? You’re no longer credible!!!
He’s good. Deebo, Kittle, CMC, Aiyuk and Trent Williams are better than him. His “value” stemmed from him vastly outplaying his ridiculously low contract. That’s gone now, as is Deebo. Was last year’s play an aberration, or the new normal? We will see.
Deebo was absolute garbage last year and he was nonexistent in the Sb (like Aiyuk), deebo
Peaked in 21 and he dropped too many passes and was like 25 pounds overweight
He won 6 games last year, 20
TDS to 12 picks and looked mediocre for most of the season (if the Lions secondary hadn’t been depleted, he would even have 20’tds)… he is not that great
They were the 3rd most injured team. FTN Fantasy is weighing the players contributions for fantasy points. Holy crap man. At least understand what you’re posting
2024 was a sign of things to come for Purdy. Dude is a great player, but I am thinking the magic is gone. He's not new anymore.
D coordinators know him well. And he does not have Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson athleticism to mess the defensive coordinators off their game plans.
8-9 season in 2025.
He is not in my opinion. Just pointing out how Mr irrelevant became a franchise a means that scouts are clueless. He had a nice cast surrounding him and for the most part are gone.
Not with Kyle as coach, that bad OL, WR’s who either have a destroyed knee or are possession WR’s an aging TE (who will continue to decline because TE’s don’t have along shelf life and a rb who Kyle ran int o ground and he has twitter bad Achilles… and now they don’t have any cap

And zero fucks are given from this patriot about a guy making 265m to play a game while teachers live below the poverty line. Plus, the timeline we are on, there won’t be a season regardless. Fuck football.
Wow… Jalen Hurts gets paid a yearly average of $51M when he signed in 2023. When the salary cap was significantly lower… they did alright. Same with Mahomes
He has literally never been anywhere near elite. You saw his ceiling last season when he led the 9ers to 6-11 without all-pros at every level. That’s his future now
Remind us... has Brock gone to a Superbowl? Oh yeah, he did.
How many other QBs have taken their team to the Superbowl in their first 2 seasons? And didnt he lead QB stats in nearly every category during that run?
🤔
He shouldn’t be getting that type of money. NFL players should get paid by a hourly wage and that’s it.
I really hate how they give entertainers boats load of money then other important people.
Embarrassing
It boils down to numbers. Teachers and Daycare workers are vital to the country and should be paid a lot more, but there are millions of them versus something like 32 starting NFL quarterbacks.
The NFL rakes in billions yearly, mostly from TV contracts. Should the billionaire owners keep all of it? No, of course not.
The players, who do all the work, collectively get roughly half of league revenue.
So you think the billionaire owners should keep the money?
Note also that these "entertainers" are elite world class athletes, with skills that are exceedingly rare.
Even if there skills are talented, they should not have the same paycheck as billionaires because they aren’t significant in the world of politics and economics.
LOL wut? Their efforts generate massive economic activity that benefits the team owners, the people who work in stadiums, hotels, restaurants, TV, radio, etc.
The guys riding the bench do more work than some asshole like Elon Musk.
Their pay is linked to the income they generate for their employer.

It’s all or nothing in the NFL on QBs now.
I give him 2 yrs on that deal.
He’s good- he’s fragile and above average
It’s not an insult to him
tds and 12 picks that isn’t really good, if Jimmy put up numbers like that, you would complain
Sample Tier 1 starting QB:
Patrick Mahomes
Sample Tier 2 starting QB:
Kurt Cousins
Sample Tier 3 starting QB:
Brock Purdy
T1=$50M+
T2≈40M
T3≈30M that’s awesome money and he deserves awesome money!
That’s all I’m saying
He is a tier 3 QB

Never won a Superbowl and is being paid $265 million?
We value all the wrong things
This guy is completely overrated and now they screwed up their salary cap for five years
Niners got a bargain!
Before you say “yeah but the 9ers were injured” you should probably know the 9ers were the 3rd most injured team. The Lions were the first.
So Purdy went 6-11 with the 3rd most injured team and Goff went 14-2 with the most injured.
Awesome how you are incapable of seeing his on field value.
🤷♂️
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you disagree?
It's priceless.
Do you think talking heads are a source of truth?
Space up
We can argue or disagree forever. Or, as I prefer, until the end of the 2025 season. Let's see how each of our opinions ages.

Purdy had a 6-11 record and one of the worst redzone completion percentages in the league.
Stats don’t matter unless they lead to points
