The problem with taking less is if other starting QBs who are performing worse than him get bigger contracts.

There are arguable some already making over $50 million a year on average.

Ask yourself, if you see a coworker who is worse at his or her job than you get bigger salaries or bonuses or whatever would you feel great?

Then we should just trade for McCarthy or draft one.
Why should we trade for a bust?!? Just cause he has a strong arm is not a good reason otherwise we would have kept Trey.

Seems like a broken record with the same discussion. Keep Purdy under current contract for another season.


How can you call someone a bust before they've played a regular-season snap in the NFL? Though the dude in the YouTube video is refuting that statement, for the record. Nice fact-check.

I liked the tape on Wilson coming out. I was pretty convinced Shanahan would have taken him if he was there. The problems with Wilson seem to be more mental than physical, though, and that's a concern. Maybe his humbling has changed some of that, but the last time we saw him as a starting QB, his attitude and mind-set were problems.

I grab the wrong link so fact-check this if you dare. Considering the number of bust QB in this league, the odds are that I will be right.

Besides, it would still cost at least a 1st round pick to trade for him since he is still essentially a hyped rookie, while others have already went thru the ringer in this league to be labeled a bust, so it would take alot less to obtain.

Give it up guys, Lynch confirmed that Purdy is the one.

I wish we were emphasizing signing Greenlaw instead of deebo. Greenland showed he still had it. Deebo did not, yes if he is on the team you know damn well he will start and get too many snaps. Maybe he can turn it back up ina contract year.

I'm not saying we should pursue him. Just saying you can't call a player a bust before he's played a snap. Busy suggests he has played and hasn't panned out.

Lol I did and have done so in every draft. It's call speculation, which many have done all the time. I actually called Trey a bust when he was taken 3rd overall, but wasn't on this sports forum at the time but on another forum that's been defunct for over a year now. If you were also from that defunct forum, you would know I called that pick out as well as foolishly trading so much to move up. I had Trevor as my top QB in that same draft to most likely become a star. Keep in mind, I am not a big cannon arm fan like most here and do my homework on QB prospects before speculating.

This last draft I picked JJ. Who was your bust pick or you just don't speculate?

It's the semantics. You bust once you have tried and failed. Until then, it's a reach, or a bad pick, etc.

I didn't scout the QBs this year, and don't watch much college football, so I didn't have strong opinions. I wasn't a Lance fan in that class when I did scout the QBs, though I liked Wilson the most (didn't even look at Lawrence as I knew that wouldn't happen). So obviously my eye isn't perfect. Though again, I think Wilson was the situation and the head rather than ability.

What they need to do is make Deebo take a drastic pay cut and just have him do KR and PR. No way should he be taking snaps away from young players anymore like Pearsall and Cowing.

Deebo has 1 more year on his contract and thought I read it would cost more towards the cap if we cut him than keep him. I don't think we will get a trade partner but it seems like they are going to keep him

Given that the only financially feasible way to get rid of him is to trade him, the Niners have no choice but to sing his praises as a "good player" and pray another GM is foolish enough to believe him and make an offer for him. they could cut him using a post-June 1 designation but we would still have to eat $5M this offseason, although we would come out ahead in 2026 by $12M.

Brady took less for years. It’s why his teams were so successful.

I do wonder if Purdy had married a super model, will he take much less like Brady. I know I would :)

He ended up with half of her money.

Lol no, Purdy is short, drives a minivan, and wears skinny jeans. Don’t think he’ll be getting super models any time soon.

Tom Brady doesn't wear skinny jeans? That would be a shock.

The more I think about this one, the odder it is to me. Purdy grew up in Arizona, played college ball in Iowa, and spends his free time driving a tractor on a farm. I'm pretty sure he wears boot-cut jeans. Tom Brady grew up in the heart of Bay Area suburbia, went to school in Michigan, and spends his free time hanging out with super models. He's considered something of a fashion icon in football and generally.

Plenty of areas to distinguish these two guys. On the "down to earth, Americana background," Purdy has him beat for days.

He just got married. Doubt he is looking to date anyone anytime soon
