00:00If Brock Purdy is the Niners quarterback next year, that's fine.

00:07And, you know, people, it's gonna, people probably would laugh because

00:10I've bet Brock Purdy to win league MVP for two straight years.

00:14I bet him preseason two years ago, which let's be honest, incredible bet.

00:21Maybe he didn't deserve MVP, but he deserved it more than the

00:24guy that won it in Lamar Jackson.

00:26I bet him this year on a value shot, didn't work out.

00:30The team wasn't good enough.

00:32He wasn't good enough.

00:33That's fine.

00:34I can live with that.

00:37But if Brock is their quarterback, the Niners can win games.

00:41They can win a lot of games.

00:45It's that if Brock is their quarterback at league breaking, record breaking money,

00:54that is insane that you do not need, you do not need to be the best

01:05quarterback in football to make the most money in football, but there

01:11has to be a belief somewhere that you are a top five quarterback, or

01:17could end up being that to reset that market borrow bright, obviously

01:24that box people bring up Trevor Lawrence, Trevor Lawrence, the idea

01:29was always all eventually he'll be top five Jordan love this past

01:33off season, Dak Prescott, people do believe is a top five quarterback.

01:37Not me.

01:39Dak gets judged on a very friendly scale, but nobody thinks that Brock

01:44Purdy is a top five quarterback in football.

01:47Nobody thinks there's really a path for Brock Purdy to be a top

01:50five quarterback in football.

01:53So here's where Darnold comes in.

01:59If Sam Darnold now again, watching his potential annual salary get cut

02:06in more than half last night is available for a three-year deal,

02:1560 million total, right?

02:20Would the Niners rather that path giving them additional money to spend

02:26elsewhere on a roster that keeps losing guys to injury, maybe they

02:30need to get younger in some spots.

02:32Maybe we need to swap out some bodies, right?

02:37Or a Niners team that's just built on having stars at nearly every level.

02:42Would they be more interested in spending 60 million total on Sam

02:47Darnold than 60 million annually on Brock Purdy?
