Are Brock Purdy’s day in SF numbered?

[Hawkinaz]

So far the 9ers haven't signed Purdy to a contract extension which sends a very bad message to your QB going into his last season as a lame duck. It wouldn’t surprise me that Shanahan has so much confidence in his system he can make it work

It will be an interesting story to follow

I was a little worried the Niners were gonna nab Shaduer and let Purdy walk. Purdy is a solid guy when he's got a great team around him but once he get paid and you can't pay the other guys I'm not sure he's gonna carry a team on his back.

Or how about any QB. Take away all the star skill players and even the best of them aren't going to look great very often.

Patrick Maholmes?

Matt Stafford?

Josh Allen?

Jordan Love

Goff.

Matt Stafford?

The guy who has had elite receivers nearly his entire career?

I saw the Niners extended Kittle, making him the highest paid TE again.
I have to wonder that Purdy contract ext is dead.

This could throw a wrench in their negotiations with Purdy...

Niners, TE George Kittle agree to 4-year, $76.4 million contract extension

 

[IndyHawk]

I don’t have a link but I read that the analytics on Kurtis Rourke indicated he could potentially have the highest ceiling from the draft (qb). It’s always a rolling of the dice.

I really like Rourke; He did great considering he played last season
with a torn ACL.

Both these contracts were expected this offseason

If Purdy became available, would you take him over Lock, or Darnold?

Darnold was Purdys back up

Purdy isn't elite, but I sure hope they pay him elite $.

 

[gmor]

Purdy is elite? hmm

Maybe not elite, but definitely a very good, solid QB.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Overrated

They're between a rock and a hard spot with him. They have to sign him (at or near market rate), but there are legitimate questions about his ability to operate in weather conditions and/or without an elite supporting cast. He only went for 3800/20 TD's last year. I genuinely don't mind them locking him down.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I might be in the minority, but he doesn't scare me at all as a Hawks fan.

That may of been the assumed plan to the people including 9er fans looking from the outside until they drafted a Purdy clone. I will guess that the 9ers brass will hold off on a decision until Shanahan decides on Rourkes potential even.

It makes good business sense to pay Rourke south of $1 million vs north of $40 million AAV for Purdy

 

[Trackhawk]

We are back to the same, “is it Brady, or is it Belichick” question. (Not suggesting that either are near the coach/ player as the comps.)

I suspect the best bet for Purdy is to take something in the 40-45 APY from the Niners. Despite Shanahan’s tendency to get his QBs injured, it’s still the place that Purdy is likely to have his best chance at longevity. I’d be sure there is a lot of guarantee for injury money in that contract, though.


There is a huge drop off under 40, and above 45-50, the contracts are less about the quality of the player. The only QB north of 50, that I would take on his current contract, is Lamar Jackson at 52.

Lynch calls: "Purdy for Darnold + 1st 2025 + 2nd 2026", how should Schneider respond?

I concur. IMHO if you can get close to him - get your hands up - not even within sack range just give him something extra to think about - he will make errant throws.

He is a good QB - and makes some nice throws - I don't dispute that - but he does not strike fear into anyone.
