I don't know if Purdy is a long term answer. I suspect he may just be a solid, dependable backup which is great given how often QBs get hurt. If he has to play for exended periods he's shown he's at leat capable of winning against good competition.
One of Purdy's best traits is the gunslinger mentality. He realizes that he needs to take some chances to succeed because he doesn't have the physical gifts that some other have. If he throws an INT on that TD pass to CMC, I'm not upset because he at least took a shot. Jimmy hasn't consistently shown the willingness to attempt those throws whether he just doesn't see them or is afraid to pull the trigger. As long as he can hit some of those TD passes I'll overlook the occasional INT.
Why do you keep making things about Jimmy, reading your post in this thread and the Trey Lance thread seems you're pushing hard for Purdy vs Jimmy. When the simple fact is, Jimmy won't be around next season. What's really discouraging is Purdy vs Lance. Talk about two QB's that will be here next season and how we'll have a $4 million dollar back up QB who they spent three 1st round picks on.
I'm not making it about Jimmy. I'm just using him as a comparison since he's been the starter for the past 5 seasons. I'm pointing out the different style of play. I stated in my posts that I doubt Jimmy will be around next year and Purdy is better competition for Trey.
I'm not in the mood to repost what you say, but you just admitted that you did. You're not making it about Jimmy but using him as comparison. As much as you people say what Jimmy can't do and how injury prone he is you would think that spending three 1st round picks on a QB in Trey Lance he would've he could've and would've straight taken the job from him. Now there's Brock Purdy who no doubt has outplayed Trey Lance and now there should be competition and expect Trey Lance to learn off Purdy, my god, how long are they gonna hold Trey Lance's hand before he starts to get it.
Lance was drafted as a long term project. It seems everyone on the team and in the fan base knew that but you and a few others.
You don't trade that many picks for a "long term project" when you have a winning team. We could have stayed put and drafted Micah Parson. Imagine this defense with him opposite Bosa. The Trey pick was a mistake. Doesn't mean he's a "bust" yet, he needs time to develop. But Jimmy/Purdy + Parsons is better than Jimmy/Purdy/Trey and it's not close. We've all but missed Trey's rookie contract window and he's still far from being ready to lead this team to a Super Bowl.
Yes, as a matter of fact you do. Want to know why? Because of JIMMY GAROPPOLO. That is why you do that. When you have a QB as good as JIMMY GAROPPOLO, you have the luxury of having your cake and eating it too.
I've wanted to say something similar. Can't remember exactly who it was that told me their biggest problem with Trey is the amount we gave up to get him. As if he refused to come here unless we spent a lot on him. Truth is the amount we spent on a raw, unproven prospect is a direct indictment of JG. It was the play at that position that needed an upgrade most desperately, and out FO decided that was the price they were willing to pay to do it.
