QB Brock Purdy Thread

It's not about how you, I, or anybody other than ownership feels. If they want to pull back on cash spending, and they invest significant cash into a player that is quickly replaced by a budget free agent player, they are very likely to be miffed.

I'm with you there with this exception: I'd like to keep Shanahan around… the clear star of this organization.

They could always ask Brock to give the money back out of the kindness of his heart. He's an honorable man, I'm sure he doesn't want the money if he didn't earn it.

"It's not a knock on Brock. If he's not 95% healthy, why put him out there? If Mac wins a fourth game against a very good Tampa Bay team, then I would definitely leave him in at this point. I believe in… pic.twitter.com/1boFuS6uPe

I agree with this.

Insufferable.

Some people can't see past the tip of their nose. Brock is still a young QB and reps are very important. No need to needlessly feed a stupid controversy.

lol wut.... so have Brock out there when hes not fully healthy again??

Drafting Trey was a mistake but signing your starting qb isn't a mistake imo. The money you pay your qb doesn't decide how good your team is. That's a media/fan myth. If the qb doesn't cut it you just move on if you find something better

It absolutely does when you are one of the teams paying the QB top of the market money. Before the defenders come in and say his cap hit isn't bad for a few years or so; eventually you have to pay the piper. And there's a reason this team is in dead cap hell.

When you don't have money for free agency; which we already saw this year, and you constantly miss in the draft, your team will not be good. Luckily the arrow is up on the past two drafts so we at least have that trending in the right direction. Unfortunately; paying Brock what we did is trending in the wrong direction when we are getting same or better results from Mac at a fraction of the cost.

PS - No I'm not saying Mac is better; but I am confident in saying that Brock is not $200 million dollars better than Mac

We had a great roster around Jimmy. Eagles have one around Hurts. It's not about the qb contract. And if they suck just move on like Dan Jones and Russ Wilson

Lol extra onion and cilantro are the key to having those ripped quads.

Personally I don't have an issue with playing the hot hand.

I hope we're in a position where that situation comes up because I don't want to root against Mac while he's a 49er.

However as impressive as Mac has played I haven't seen anything from him that I believe Brock can't replicate but I've seen things from Brock I know Mac can't replicate. When healthy to me Brock is the better QB.

We've seen teams stick with the hot hand before but I can't recall many situations where a team pays their QB big money, he gets injured and then a QB on a short deal comes in and takes over the job.

The examples I can think of in recentish history are obviously Tom Brady who was in his 2nd season in the NFL and Kap who was also in his 2nd year with us.

Russell Wilson took over as a rookie from Matt Flynn but that wasn't really a move due to injury either.

I just find it hard to believe that everything Brock has on tape for this team that he's getting benched even if Mac is undefeated(which would be amazing)

We're 1-0 with Brock not playing the full game with that injury and has an impressive playoff resume under Kyle.

Bledsoe was 0-2 under Belichick that season and like 6-10 year prior(if that)

Alex was a tougher one but Harbaugh didn't have a lot of investment in Alex. No big contract lingering and offense was being held back how Alex was playing. Kap was on a cheap deal and offered some crazy options on offense.

It's so funny that everyone is doing a circle jerk over Mac. Completely predictable. The first two pic game he throws, he will get the mullen treatment. LOL. But, that might not be for a couple more weeks. We should enjoy the good times until then. As far as "replacing" Brock chatter, that's all because Purdy had a hideous game against the Jaguars. Until whatever happened there gets fixed, definitely slow walk Purdy back into the line up.

I feel like were doomed either way. Our oline has 100% lived up to its reputation. We could be starting Martinez week 15.

If Mac continues to play as well as he has, then no one is 200 million better than Mac. But let's hold our horses a bit. Brock had proven himself many times over. He's currently holds the highest passer rating in the history of football. That isn't meaningless. He's this team's QB, and ought to be until he proves otherwise.

I am worried about the OL but I also think getting our skill players back will help hide things more.

Trent unfortunately is starting his trend down but he's still solid, just not the best in the game anymore. I do think Colby is a bit in over his head right now. He did great vs the Saints but it's been rough going since then. To be fair he got injured so he may be impacted by that still. I think Puni is banged up as well. Brendel…same old.

McKivitz may have been our best OLman this year.

Just gotta hope the guys stay healthy and any OL mistakes aren't at critical moments.

I'm not sure what you mean by "critical moments". Every time our line gets beat that's a critical moment. Hence Mac and Brock both getting slapped around like rag dolls. Mac already broke a knee and Brock got stomped on. This will happen multiple times every game between now and the end of the season. Hit after hit nick after nick ding after ding. No clean pocket in 2025 sad to say.
