Don't forget Aiyuk is also on a rookie deal. As I said in another thread, the Purdy/CMC/Deebo/Aiyuk group has about 1-2 more seasons before it gets broken up and the price tag of the overall groups goes up to over $100 mil instead of the current price(2023) of, and I am not making this number up, combined $17.1 million of salary.

If you watch 49ers games, pregame shows, NFL coverage, etc....it's fuging insufferable. The announcers slurp him, they spam graphics comparing him to Tom Brady and they just generally treat him as if he is a top 3-4 QB when he is VERY clearly not that. He's a middle of the road NFL starting QB on a team with the best offensive weapons in the NFL. That doesn't mean he is bad but he way closer to Derek Carr than he is Tom Brady.

Now that I think about this more, the 49ers are going to be VERY interesting to watch in the next couple of offseasons. Do they keep their high end weapons and let Purdy walk or do they let a couple of CMC/Aiyuk/Deebo walk to afford to pay Purdy?

In fairness, that would be short lived as we couldn't afford CMC's grotesquely large salary, Moore's top 10 WR salary and Lamar's top 5 QB salary WHILE also attempting to keep the likes of Luvu, Burns, Brown, Horn, etc. The only reason a team like the 49ers can have that embarrassment of riches is that Purdy is literally the NFL equivalent of being free and their best WR(Aiyuk) is still on a rookie deal. They have literally one more year of this(2024) and that core of Purdy, Aiyuk, Samuel and CMC will have to be split up due to insane cost.

100%. My skepticism has been high the entire time. And for all the seething Purdy fanboys, this is not a slight towards him as a QB. He's an NFL average QB in most aspects but his intangibles are obviously quite high. However....if you want to see a mess and the wheels come off, put him on the 2023 Carolina Panthers. He wouldn't be much more capable than Young or Dalton of elevating this team. Some other elite QB's would likely be able to elevate us(not all, to be clear). Furthermore, if you plop Purdy into some of the other elite QB's shoes/current situations, he isn't likely to exceed their results in almost any of those cases. In most he would be struggling because he doesn't have the embarrassment of riches.

Skepticism of Lamar was fairly high because of the spate of injuries in the two previous seasons. That's a very hefty price tag for a guy that then had questionable durability. Ironically, it's been other big time signings that can't stay healthy(Watson, Burrow, Murray, Herbert, etc).

When is the publish date for this? Advance copies available?

It's not really Purdy hate, it's media hate. The same way they made me dislike the Chiefs because of the never ending Taylor Swift spamming they cannot stop doing.

The media hype train on Purdy is bananas. It's reminiscent of Tim Teblow. He is a fine QB. He also isn't the second coming of Tom Brady that they are desperately trying to make him. He's surrounded by more and better offensive weapons than Brady had in his collective entire career.

It's like anywhere else, the dumbest are always the loudest.

I mean....there are only a few Huddlers here dumb enough to try and argue that.

Well, well, well.... The SaM dArNoLd, BrOcK PuRdY and cMc queefs all felled in one decisive blow. I did point out that the 49ers were 2-2 versus the AFC this year.....

Lol. Aikman parroting Tepper with the "PG" quote.

Did you have a stroke?

You must have me confused with your mirror.

Uh. No. You can blow them all you want but I am an actual Panthers fan, not a college fan in NFL clothing. So fug the 49ers.

Same as so many overrated media clowns before him. It eventually get old. The sad part is that it shouldn't be that way but the media hype machine creates a lot of this BS. Plus, again, 49ers = former divisional rivals. They can suck all the dicks.

You were saying?

LMFAO Amazing.

Ravens are a better team. 49ers just have a crazy amount of offensive weapons. But, being led by a middle of the road QB doesn't help.

Should have bet those three unders. Easy money.

Love watching him fail on the big stage after all this dumbshit media blowfest.

Boy this thread got vacated by a certain troll rather quickly....
