Is Brock Purdy a $240 million QB?

[TJ8869]

The 49ers have a huge decision to make that will have a major effect on the fortunes of their franchise for the next 5 years. Purdy has been giving them $30 million production at QB for less than a million dollars a year. But now he has three years in and is eligible for an extension.

Niners GM John Lynch has made it clear they want to keep him, but Spotrac says his market value is somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 years/$240 million.

IMO it would be a huge mistake to pay him that much. He would go directly from being the most underpaid QB in the league to the most overpaid QB in the league.

I would trade him. Let someone else overpay him.

Sam Darnolds successful season says no. Purdy’s success was the sum of a good line and great weapons. I wouldn’t give him a high “wins above replacement “ number.

As a Broncos fan, who has been hoping for a franchise QB for about 8 years now, there's nothing like seeing fans of other teams suggesting they reward the QB that got them to the Superbowl by washing their hands of him.

Tebow Time was fun as ****. He won us at least 1 playoff game.

Purdy benefits from some excellent skill position players and a good offensive line. Shanahan figured out how to make Purdy good, he can do it with someone else. Mastery of Shanahan’s offense is Purdy’s top skill. He won’t turn around a team with a different offense all by himself

 

[Jimmy McGill]

To answer the original question. No.

But that being said, he'll get it.

Is Dak Prescott worth $240 over 4 years?

I hate Iowa State with the heat of the sun but at least Purdy has won a thing or two.

If they give Purdy almost $60M per year then it will be at least 5 years before they get anywhere close to the Super Bowl.

Look at the Bengals as an example. They had Burrow and Chase on rookie contracts and were getting great production at a bargain. They went to one Super Bowl and very nearly went a second straight time.

Now that Burrow got a massive extension they had to make cuts elsewhere on the roster and the defense in particular took a huge hit. As a result, the Bengals have missed the playoffs two straight years despite Burrow putting up MVP level stats.

The Bengals picked up Chase’s 5th year option, so his cap hit will more than double next year. It might be awhile before the Bengals get back to the playoffs.

No way San Fran ever wins a super bowl if they max him out

 

[TJ8869]

Purdy is at the same point in his career that Fields was when Chicago traded him, except that he has a better resume. Someone out there will be willing to overpay to get him. I would oblige them.

 

[lucas80]

Noles trigger alert.

 

[millah_22]

Tebow has done way more for me than the Noles on this board.

 

[95Hawk]

I get that. My point is more that NFL contracts have gotten silly and there’s not direct correlation between a large guaranteed contact for QBs (Daniel Jones and Dak stand out) and success.

John Lynch may be smart enough to see this but the rest of the league isn’t.

 

[ThorneStockton]

Wouldn't extend at that value. He doesn't seem like an idiot, he might realize he's got a good situation and would accept a much more moderate extension.

If not, let him play the contract out and then test the market. Could always tag him after too if he blows up and has a great year.

Got it. I thought this was his FA year. He wants a big extension with 1 year left on his rookie deal. He is best off taking a reasonable deal to stay with the Niners, and keep throwing the ball to Kittle, Samuel and Aiyuk.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

All you Chief haters can say whatever you want, but Mahomes has restructured his contract on numerous occasions to win.

Another thing to keep in mind is that since Purdy was a late round selection there is no fifth-year option.

 

[gohawks50]

The real question is who in any career deserves $240 for 4 years? I like Purdy and love football, but dam our priorities are screwed up.

I’m old enough to remember when Nolan Ryan became the first baseball player to earn a million dollars a year. It seemed completely outrageous at the time.

$239M, tops. Not a penny more

 

[Hawkstate1]

Purdy; the bigger the game the bigger the choke.

 

[Herky T Hawk]

The answer is probably not. He’s likely a product of a coach’s system with a bunch of high end tools to throw to.

But he possibly is, which means someone is going to pay something around that much for him.

I would suggest this isn’t completely true the year Purdy got hurt in the playoffs and the 49ers couldn’t move the ball a lick

The Niners are not going to start the negotiations at 4 years for $240 million. I would start him out at 5 years for $125 mill.

And then if I am Purdy I take that deal WITH MOSTLY OR ALL GUARANTEED MONEY so more Cap money can go to keep the other offensive players there

He will still be super rich by 2031

 

[TJ8869]

That’s because Garoppolo and Lance were also hurt and the Niners were forced to play their 4th string QB against one of the best defenses in the league. Until he also got hurt and the Niners had no choice but to put Purdy back in with a torn ligament in his arm, so he could repeatedly hand the ball off against an elite defense who knew he couldn’t do anything other than hand the ball off.

[dgordo]

There are maybe 4 QBs in the nfl worth that and Purdy isn’t one of them.

 

[onlyTheObvious]

I would let him play next year and then decided.

But then he’s a free agent and you’re bidding against half a dozen other teams.

 

[Brian_Fantana]

My guess is it settles in around $50m per year with around $160 guaranteed over 4 years. Is he worth it, I don’t know. He is great with a good cast around him and playing in that system. Is it so complicated a “decent” qb couldn’t do the same at 25% of the cost? Seems to me the system just requires a smart QB is a decently mobile and can make quick decisions. Not saying those are a dime a dozen; but seems you could find someone cheaper. That said, no Owner, GM or Coach wants to filter QBs every 2 or 3 years

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

I'll give my opinion on it when he beats Iowa.
