QB Brock Purdy Thread

Yes the NFL gets revenue from many surces. When networks pay the leafgue more to broadcast, they typically raise their rates to the viewers. Ticket prices go up all the time in response to increased costs. Salaries are part of that cost.

The idea that one team can't take a stand is why this continues. Teams can't get together behind closed doors and decide to stop paying big money. That's collusion. That's why I said it will probably take a meeting between the owners and players association to reach some type of agreement. It would bein the players, owners and fans best interest if they did.

Aside from the obscene amount of money they're paying some players I'm concrned that it's going to hurt the game overall. Football is the ultimate team sport and paying too much to 5 or 6 players doesn't allow you to keep talent at key positions . There's no reason they can't develop a pay scale with a min and max for each position like other unions do. The idea that every guy must make more than the last guy is crazy.

I completely disagree, Tickets do NOT go up in response to player salaries increasing. Player salaries go up in response to ticket prices going up.

If the team increases the price $X the team gets 100% of that for a year or so, then the player gets (48%?) of it going forward.
The teams can keep revenue the same and never give players a raise, but then they never get that sweet 52% of the increased revenue.
The league is choosing to get 52% of $10b rather than $5b, the players are just along for the ride with 48%.

Teams have a cap so why not have a cap on players.

...because the Player's Association will NEVER approve any plan restricting an individual player from negotiating the best deal they can get.

yes it would be a tough sell. one thing i would like to see for the good of the game, is an 18 game season, with 2 preseason games. 2 preseason is enough imo. the season should have an even number of games. 17 gives some teams more home games than others. i understand they even that out over 2 years, but it's still not balanced every season. another idea i had, is you can cap player games. so players can only play 16 or 17 games. they would have to be inactive if they have played a max number of regular season games. that would help ease concerns of an 18 game season. just some ideas

I'm on board with only 2 preseason games. That makes sense.

An 18-game schedule has been rejected by the Player's Association in past discussions.

Keep the season as organic as possible. Mandatory inactive restrictions will never fly. Never. Competitive pressure in key games at the end of the year is too great.

We are required to pay for those games, so yes please eliminate them! Preseason games are no fun.

from front page below, 14th sounds about in the ball park and the contract should be around there also, in my opinion. this is why i suggest 5 years $205m,

Ranking season is here, as the NFL offseason inspires endless lists and debates. Around The NFL writer Nick Shook recently joined the fray, ranking all 59 quarterbacks who started during the 2024 season. So, where did San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy land on the list?

Shook placed Purdy at No. 14—just behind his former backup, Sam Darnold (No. 13), and others like Geno Smith and Jordan Love.

While some might brush off offseason rankings, Purdy's spot is noteworthy as he negotiates a contract extension. There's little doubt he will secure the biggest contract in 49ers history. The real question is how his annual salary will stack up against the NFL's highest-paid quarterbacks.

lol. In no universe is Geno Smith better than Purdy. He's better at getting drafted higher, that's it

Only thing about preseason is it eliminates opportunities for some young players to show off and try to make the team where they may not get as much practice time or maybe are more gamers than practice guys.

This is the final, post-Super Bowl LIX rankings of every quarterback who started a game during the 2024 NFL campaign -- based on play from the regular season AND the playoffs. Here are my rankings, 1 through 59.

yeah i don't like geno's game either. and it's not just being a division rival. i like kyler and stafford more than geno. geno is the worst QB1 in the division in my opinion. i would put him like 35th. borderline QB2. the wr talent in seattle props him up.
