The offense looked better and more explosive with Purdy even without Deebo. Plus unlike Garoppolo, Purdy is a good scrambler and can improvise. So teams had to think that Jimmy was not that good.
Besides there was this weird rumor the Niners could re-sign Jimmy before his injury. Brock playing so good killed that possibility for Jimmy.
The real question for me is why the Saints paid so much money for Carr. The Raiders were smart on this one. They get a better fit for their system for half the money.
Don't forget jimmys bone head plays, no deep ball, and inability to throw the ball away
