QB Brock Purdy Thread

I think it plays. What about you?

I agree with all of it.

And for sure the agent (who doesn't have many big time clients) is trying to cash in and build his portfolio.

End of the day, Brock can say hey man $47M per is a whole lot of cheddar and I'm good with that and the agent needs to listen.

If Brock was a first rd talent he would probably be about 3 inches taller, have more than one of the weakest arms amoung all starters and you'd hope he would have hands that allow him to not play poorly in any sort of inclement weather.

His god given ability is part of the reason why he was drafted later. He also didn't improve in college and played hero ball entirely too much (something that showed up a little more than you'd like this past yr).

The term elite is subjective. Same as all these rankings.

Brock imo needs more around him in order to maintain that upper echelon play. When you're tossing around a f**k ton of money to one guy, they makes things harder to continue to do.

So that's a yes then?

Hurts did what Brock didn't in the Super Bowl. He put KC away.

LOL

Your last few posts feel like you're coming in here to stir things up.

If you're here for a serious discussion tell me which plays Brock blew opportunities on to put up more points.

And then tell me what Jalen Hurts did the one time KC managed to get a free rusher in his face quickly(hint it rhymes with lick)

LOL

Last few? This is how he has been posting all offseason.

When it's one that's only played two real seasons and will be the highest paid contract in franchise history, I think I can see why they're not just gonna hand him a blank check.

Those other two guys got paid after have their best seasons. Brock is not coming off that….we b***hed about the roster BUT instead of trying to make sure that roster is where it needs to be, you'd rather give Brock whatever he wants and just have him go out there….just so we can complain about Brock not having a elite players at every position group and not playing like he did in 2023

I want SF to not just hand him whatever just because. Why do you have to follow suit with other teams and their bad deals?

So because SF doesn't give him $250M (or whatever it is) that's their fault for not having Brock's head in the game heading in 2026? Why doesn't he take any responsibility for that? If a deal doesn't get done, well he's half of the equation for that not happening.

They're not hypotheticals, they're real life scenarios that we've done with other players. I hope it doesn't come to that.

Show me where I said anything of the sort. I've always maintained through these discussions that the back and forth is silly considering the odds are they will get a deal done that will be team friendly in the end. Getting into the actual APY numbers is stupid because we have many examples of why that number doesn't mean much.

However I brought up Trevor and Love as most recent cases of QBs getting paid and you KNOW the only difference is the draft slot and the physical stature of those guys. Be honest with yourself. If Brock played the EXACT same way as his career unfolded but he was 6'4 and had a bigger arm there wouldn't be this hesitation to pay him.

As for not having his head in the game that's a risk you're taking by not paying him a fair offer. You can't control human nature. When you know there is potential for life/family life changing money and you don't have a first round salary to fall back on already that can mess with your head. Whether you're making more business decisions and not giving it that extra on a key first down, whether you're hesitant with the football because you don't want to make a mistake, etc...

Also I think it's hilarious that you mention how Lawrence had his best year and this dude was the prince that was promised as far as QB prospects go...and his best season is Purdy's worst in comparison...yet we think $45 million APY(which means cap hits are even less for the most part) is more than fair.

Hell I'd love Brock to sign for a vet minimum and get everything he needs from God. That's not realistic though. Yes the 49ers have more leverage in this case but not as much as people claim. The team 100% doesn't want anything to do with franchise tagging Brock in 2026. You want to talk about trouble building a solid roster? Bump Brock's salary up to $48 million and see how much we have to spend on the rest of the team.

That's like saying if Jauan Jennings was a 1st rd pick he would be making Justin Jefferson money lol.

If Jennings was putting up numbers relative to his peers, you would have a good point here. But he isnt, so you dont.

Your last line is the key.

Purdy has said on various occasions that money is not a big motivator for him. He lamented the cost of living in the Santa Clara area, as it was eating up his income faster than he anticipated, or words to that effect. I'm sure $47M would be fine for him, but so would $25M. That is just who he is. As long as he has his Tacoma, he is fine.

The tension is between his fellowship with other athletes and the impact of him taking less than market price would have on others that are looking for a big bag. In the same way that the foolish Dallas deal with Dak has pushed the market up, a $45M deal would tend to drive the market down. If that were to happen, not only would players tend to stay away from Strongin (Brock's agent), other agents would bad mouth him as well. Ripple effect.

Well I must have been right about something because Brock is being offered 45 and not in the 50's or 60's like some of you wanted. 😊

Anybody have info on how Brady was paid? I remember that Tom took some "team-friendly" deals in order to help the Pats (It helped him greatly that his then wife was a Super Model who cleared way more than him). I'm just curious if Purdy, who has been to a Super Bowl, and two NFC Championship games in a short time has a little bit of that hunger to win at a high level in him? To be great at it, you have to obsess, right? Is that Purdy's type? I am unsure. I think he comes off as hard as hell on himself, though. I say all of this because sometimes, as dj noted, money ain't everything. And, frankly, neither is assuaging the concerns of others looking for the bag. In the end, he can say, 50 million or less and the Niners will jump. The lone condition being that he wants to win.

They lockup my boy Dirty Purdy, yet?

I'm pretty sure I speak for everyone here...nobody wants him to sign for more money. If he could play for the vet minimum that would be fantastic and great for our team building cap number.

But the report came from LaCanfora, a guy who hasn't broken a story in years. Likely fed by Brock's agent, especially given the "lowball" comment he threw in there.

I don't like it but apparently this is going to be a bit of a media back and forth situation. In the end just because he was MAYBE offered $45 per doesn't mean that's what the deal will be when actually signed.

That is just a rumor. I have looked extensively, and all I find is one person quoting another. In fact, Google even linked comments made in this thread to that report.

Another writer summed it up thusly: "Reports have come out of thin air that the Niners have offered a $45 million offer to their signal caller."

Thin air, indeed. I'll bet the mortgage that the final number is close to the Jordan Love deal.

All I'm saying about the Super Bowl is that although you cannot pin the loss solely on Brock because of the other things mentioned as well, I'm just saying that he played very AVERAGE in that game.

I'd bet a lot of money that Brock's agent fed that to LaCanfora. Either that or he literally just made it up. I know the guy has tried to break news that was BS in the past.
