I loved this:) 😊 thanks

there's one dude on youtube that actually did see this coming, he did an analysis of purdy like 9 months ago

This is the truth.

In Shanahans offense, if you're accurate, mobile, tough, smart, don't turn it over, and can make plays at the quarterback position, you're going to be a star.

We'll see how Purdy does over a larger sample size, but I think he's been good at all of the above in the short time he's played so far.

People say he's just running the offense, but he's making some plays outside the structure when things have broken down. He's made plays under pressure.

When a guy pretty consistently does that + all the above, along with showing a clutch factor, I mean.. That pretty much describes a franchise quarterback.

I know it's still early, but these past weeks might be the best three game stretch I've seen for our passing offense in the past five years.

I'm hopeful Brock can prove to everyone he's the guy, and if not, hopefully Trey would.

...and the dumpster caught fire when Eddie got caught trying to buy his way into a gambling license and had to turn the team over to Dr. John York. Jed was later handed a toy with no instructions and it wasn't until he had thoroughly embarrassed himself that he finally wised up and turned things over to Shanahan and Lynch. (all well-known history)

"A toy with no instructions" - lmao, so true

Your comment is ridiculous. The team would be out of their minds not to TRY to extend Purdy for as cheaply as possible if he leads the team to a Super Bowl win. There are SEVERAL reasons.

You think a Super Bowl winning QB, who at this point, looks like an upgrade over two QBs making WAY more money than him isn't going to want to renegotiate?

Money in your hand has more value than money you may get in the future. Should Purdy lead the team to a ring, BOTH sides have incentive to renegotiate.

You can't extend someone on a rookie contract until their third year anyways so its not happening.

Yes, but I was wondering if it were possible to do a wink and nod move where they officially cut him and then sign him as a free agent. I imagine some sort of penalty could be possible.

You cut him, I'm pretty sure he goes through waivers

Ah sheet that's right forgot that one. I was under the impression that only applied during the season, but I think I'm mistaken on that.

It would be a dumb move to cut Brock and see if he survived waivers just to sign him to a better contract. How many NFL teams would be salivating to sign him before the waiver period expired. Yikes!

It's all hypocritical anyway, since he can't negotiate until after year three, as Phoenix pointed out.

But even so, unless he's putting up elite numbers, no one is going to pay him elite money—ESPECIALLY since he's proving that Jimmy's "just wins" has more to do with Kyle Shanahan than many around here thought. If he starts the next two years years, he's obviously getting starter money, but if he plays as he has been, he's not going to be getting trend setting money, nor should he, and going from making 900-something thousand, I don't think he'd cry making low end to mid range starter money.

Trey Lance is still an obstacle to him getting top dollar, and he'll have to successfully beat him off in camp going forward (something some have been trying to do to Jimmy for years).

Purdy won't have to beat Lance off in training camp if he keeps going the way he is.

He'll be able to pay someone to do it 😭

If somehow we make it to the SB..it's one I wouldn't wanna miss. Too bad prices are insane. Remember when halftime shows were pretty much just a marching band and didn't have foo foo halftime shows? Which I guess was somewhat bland but I can't stand halftime shows lol. I miss the more classy times of football & ESPN tbh

Many are saying "Brock isn't leading the team" - he is just distributing to talent. MAYBE

BUT, if a guy keeps "distributing the ball right" (check), not flinching under pressure (check), not making bonehead panic mistakes (check so far), playing tough taking hits to make plays (check), and making plays off schedule with his mobility (check) -- I can guarantee pretty soon the team is believing in and following THAT GUY.

Might be better to find a QB like that where we can spend less on him and be able to pay more for the players around him. Hate to spend 80% of our salary on the QB position.

With that comment, Daniel Jeremiah lost a lot of credibility with me. Just watching the joyous, relieved response from the players and Purdy kept balling, anyone should have recognized that this kid was leading the team.

At the moment Garoppolo went down, the spirits and hopes of every player on the team went into the basement. After all the hype about a Super Bowl roster, to lose first Lance and then Jimmy, despair was an accurate description of their emotions. They were a team without a QB. A team without a leader. Then as Purdy came on to do what he did, one player exclaimed later, "We have a quarterback!" It was not a slam on Jimmy. It was just the relief of recognition that "we have a guy." "All is not lost." Then to come in and play through pain to beat the GOAT, if that doesn't make him a leader, then Daniel Jeremiah needs to adjust his sights because he isn't seeing what 49er players are seeing.

I think Jeremiah was just somewhat piggybacking on his 'tractors vs. trailers' analogy. Some QB's pull teams and some others are just more for the ride. I think it's too simplistic of a narrative and puts him squarely in a corner with such comments.....but in general he is right. Purdy isn't asked to carry a team like a Josh Allen or Mahomes. BP has solidly filled in, and exceeded most people's expectations, and SF still remains totally relevant for a SB trip. The rest of the team is completely hyped up for the guy because they all know the season is far from lost....which is 99% of the time when you are on your 3rd QB.

That describes Brady to a T when he took over for Bledsoe.

Lorenzo Alexander talked about it on the radio here the other day, comparing the two situations and how NE won that first season.

Brady wasn't the biggest reason that the Patriots won their first or second SB. He played his role, got the ball to the talent on the roster, made the plays when they were there and did just enough that the defense and special teams could push them over the top.

It was a few years before Brady became the star QB that we know today. He was good, not great but with a stacked roster, good was all the Patriots needed.

Purdy doesn't need to be Pat Mahomes and put up huge numbers, just play within the offense, get the ball out to the playmakers, avoid dumb turnovers and let the defense and run game carry things.

I think you are missing Jeremiah's point.

He's talking about Purdy purely as a player not his leadership ability.

What he means is that Purdy isn't like a Herbert, Allen, Mahomes etc where they carry the team.

Same deal with Big Ben and Russell Wilson when they first came on the scene.

Well, Jeremiah should ask Toyon-Showinko about Purdy's ability to make a play on his own. That clip of Demeco Ryans and the defense responding to that play says it all, "Ballin man!" T-S's jock was still laying on the field after the game.

It wasn't an isolated example.
