Again, I said *I* don't need more evaluation time. I AGREEed to disagree on that. Now - your other pointless point - think about it. *IF* Purdy is the LONG term answer then the game plan should be to prepare the 49ers cap for Purdy's contract *impact* on the cap ahead of time in two years. Common sense to me.
No I didn't agree that he needs more evaluation time. It's not a matter of agreement, as he can't be extended for another year and he will be evaluated during that year. I stated this to you multiple times. Beyond that I specifically said to you I would sign him right now if we had to. Word for word.
I also agreed we would prepare to sign him now and tried to advance the conversation as it was completely beside the original point. I said we could prepare to sign him now (again in agreement with you) and if something happened next year (like poor play, major injury, legal trouble, whatever other possibility) we would have flexibility to pivot from that decision when it became time to actually sign him.
How about just acknowledging that you made up the idea that I thought he would be worse in two years and that you didn't understand I posited a possibility that he could be injured, not that he would be injured as a matter of fact?
