It's way too early to give up on someone you gave up a small fortune to acquire In the first place.

the top 3 draft pick that the 49ers gave up even more for needs "developing", while a rookie that was the last pick of the draft is playing like a 5 year veteran.

That right there is the million dollar question. It would all depend on what teams thought about him pre draft and their current situation. That situation being draft pick allotment, QB situation, supporting cast etc.... also depends on what other QBs are available.

If a team like Baltimore moves off of Lamar Jackson I could see them being in play.

I honestly don't what what he could fetch. Also, not sure what my asking price would be. I definitely wouldn't just give him a way though.

It would almost certainly take a 1st. Or 2 2nds or 2nd and a conditional pick. 2nd and a player of interest.

Hell! I don't know. I do know I would listen to offers though

I think they have to listen to offers, but I think the prudent thing to do is keep him and hopefully he develops incase something happens to Brock.

After watching Brock, it's hard not to be mad that we wasted so much time on Jimmy now that we know how fraudulent he was.

As for Trey, sure Kyle probably set up some easy throws for him too, but the difference is of that Trey didn't have Kittle or CMC for his games. Trey was also always intended to be a multi-year developmental project, so I'm not surprised that he was still struggling to find a groove in this offense due to his lack of experience.

The difference is that Brock is a far better quarterback than Trey, in almost every way that matters. Trey is going to have to put in a ton of work to even be worthy of a legit qb competition next season.

I don't think you've seen enough of either QB to make such a certain declaration. They didn't even play with the same teams. If you took Kittle and CMC away, do you think Purdy would be doing just as well right now? I don't.

Purdy has played well, especially relative to the quarterback he replaced (it's likely we'd be 7-8 or 8-7 right now if Jimmy hadn't gotten hurt), but he's not perfect. He has the highest rate of batted passes of any quarterback right now. PFR gives him the lowest on-target accuracy percentage of any QB with at least 50 snaps. He's yet to throw for more than 235 yards in a game. He might turn out to be the guy, but it's way too early to crown him.

If you take Deebo out of those games that Trey played in this year and last year, does he find the success that he had? Kittle wasn't even very involved in the passing game until Brock Purdy. So who knows what kind of impact Kittle would have had on Trey's game? As far as CMC, he is a QB's best friend in the passing game. But Jimmy was able to win a lot of games in his career here witout him. Why do fans try so hard to defend a QB that has very little to zero impact on this team?

A QB who was drafted 3rd overall should have had more of an impact on this team after two years than a 7th round nobody QB. The fact that there is even a debate about it says more about Trey than it does about Brock. Trey has a lot of catching up to do. The cat has been pulled completely out of the bag and the excuses are going to run dry soon if Brock keeps playing the way he is.

Without CMC we were 3-4 despite having the league's best defense. The offense was pitiful and we headed to a similar season as the Broncos. So it's a bit disingenuous to act like the difference isn't massive between the two situations. Especially since Lance's only full game was in a historic rainstorm at a level not seen since biblical times. Purdy's peashooter of an arm wouldn't be able to get the ball past the LOS if a single drop of water fell from the sky, so let's not pretend he would have done better in the same situation.

It's just dumb to focus so heavily on Lance's first two years rather than the bigger picture. If the Packers were as dumb as the people here they would have traded Aaron Rodgers after two years. If the Bills were as dumb as the people here, they would have gotten rid of Josh Allen. If the Chiefs fans were as dumb as us, they would have complained about what they gave up for Mahomes after he didn't play in his first year. Luckily for those franchises they aren't as dumb as us.

Brock doesn't have a pea shooter - he actually has an above average arm.

Not all QBs progress at the same rate. Some Qbs look good from the get-go, whilst others take much longer to hit their potential. ( See Josh Allen )

His arm looks a little better than it did in college. Like others said, he's not gonna throw a missile on a 15 yard out route. All these NFL QBs can throw a football downfield, especially when the pocket it's totally collapsing in their lap…when you can step into it.

He's not gonna win because of arm talent. He's gonna win because of anticipation and his ability to handle pressure.

Imagine thinking a 21 yr old QB with 300 passing reps and hadn't played a season of football since 2019 was gonna just show up and being Mahomes? How about you give Lance 1,500 passing attempts and see if he has a better grasp of playing football? People with a narrative really gotta embellish how bad Lance played, like he never completed a football or some s**t lol. Give me a break.

Lance was never picked to be the dude day 1, that was clear as day when they basically redshirted his first yr…the Allen/McNair/hurts of the world don't happen if you don't let them play and develop.

not sure why it has to be hating on Lance to prop up Brock or vice a versa. Last I checked their both 49ers.

I think it's totally acceptable to root for Brock (see where that goes) and understand that Lance can still be the guy down the road. We have no clue. Overall we're in a good situation, yet a couple people in here want to take the negative route.

And, he's going to win because of his unreal accuracy.

A good QB will work with what he has got and do the best he can. With Shanahan as a coach designing plays it should be QB heaven. If JG was as bad as some people say then why did he win 70% of his games this year? If JG was so bad and Trey was so good why didn't Trey win all of his games instead of only 1 out of 3? Why is it that Purdy has won 4 out of 4 minus one series? Trey is a below average QB who did not make the most of his opportunities. He is not a winning QB but is somewhere around the level of Mullens to JG but still below JG. I am yet to see the evidence of him being better than JG let alone Purdy.

I wouldn't say he has "unreal" accuracy but he's been much better than what you'd expect. Either way he's been fun to watch

Why did Jimmy play awful in the playoffs and have one of the worst 4th QRs in Super Bowl history? Why are you comparing a 31 yr old QB with over 1,700 passing attempts in the NFL to a 22 yr old QB with 100 passing attempts? That debate isn't comparable and proves nothing imo.

Why are you even trying to debate Jimmy vs Brock vs Lance? Who cares? There's a multitude of differences between them and where they're at developmentally.

I am looking at the full body of work, not just Trey's 1.25 starts this season. We started off 3-5 last season and played very well down the stretch and went deep into the playoffs. Sounds like things are repeating themselves once again this season. To say that we wouldn't have turned things around again if it wasn't for CMC is a stretch of the imagination. Now that isn't to take anything away from CMC and the success he's had here. He has been great. But Kyle was also the one who turned Deebo into a star last season. To think that he wouldn't have found another way if we didn't acquire CMC is ignoring the fact that Kyle did the same thing with a different player the year before.

Just a collection of stuff. Our defense is lights out and we're hitting those downfield plays, which in fact opens everything (like we all said it would). I'd say the OL for the most part is doing much better now, then at the beginning of the season. I rewatched that WK1 game and they were pretty freaking bad. No team is the same early in the yr to now…and hell yeah CMC from a pass catching and scheme standpoint has been a big factor.
