Yea it’s not an easy decision because there is a lot that he does well but can you live with his limitations? If there was no cap, I wouldn’t care but he’s not going to have those stacked weapons anymore.
It's not necessary about winning multiple SBs, but winning you have the roster. Kyle doesn't fit that pedigree and never will. You can't have a Super Bowl roster for five years and not win it. You have to be a pretty slow in the head to think it will ever happen at this point.
I mean, he's objectively regressed in production from last year. I think it's mainly due to factors outside of his control, but he played better last year. I think what we've seen from Brock this year is closer to his floor than his ceiling.
I'm happy you told the GM to sign this cancer away from our team.
There is no such thing as top 10 QB money for a franchise QB anymore. You either get paid top 5 or you're not The Guy™ for that franchise. Dak's contract made him the highest paid player, Hurt's contract made him the highest paid player, Love's contract made him the highest paid player, Goff's contract made him the second highest paid player, Kyler's contract made him the second highest paid player, Tua's contract made him the 5th highest paid player. The only alternatives are 36 year old Kirk Cousins becoming the 12th highest paid QB and the team drafting a top 10 pick QB months later, or a journeyman Baker Mayfield on his 4th team in as many years becoming the 15th highest paid QB. Derek Carr might be an interesting example though. When he was in Purdy's position, he was made the highest paid player in the league, but years later he was cut and got his current deal with the Saints that made him the 15th highest paid I think.
Exactly. Especially when you see a team like the Vikings able to rehabilitate Sam Darnold's career by surrounding him with tons of weapons it makes you think if the 49ers could go with a cheaper so-so veteran and they look better versus a monster contract for Purdy. It'll be interesting how it plays out.
I was against all of those contracts for real. Paying them QBs that kind of money is the fastest path of being a middle of the road team for years.
I’d be looking for a new QB
Fair enough, as long as you're consistent and realistic.
Our team?
nicca I was clear with our rules and demands
we released @Bboystyle….. so he a free man and maybe he can say that but YOU STILL a prisoner in the Niner Gulag
I'm happy you told the GM to sign this cancer away from our team.
But he's also the reason we've whiffed on so many early round picks and he hasn't able to do much of anything with the OL in 5 years before he finally got it "right" with Puni. And getting production for late round or non drafted RBs is a moot point because he doesn't uses them if his main RB is healthy.
Of course, nothing is a guaranteed when changing directions/plans. And I understand the fear of losing a known asset for a complete unkown. But I think that in year 7-8, we already know what we have at HC and it's understandable that people believe Shanahan is never getting over the hump with this franchise. He'll get his ring when he's older and lucks out with a QB like Andy Reid.
McDermott and Stefanski have been in hotter seats than Kyle in the past 2-3 years. And I'm pretty certain that if LaFleur was choking away SBs and NFCCG with 4th quarter 10 point leads, there would be a contingent of Packers fans that would be calling for his head.
