If Brock Purdy is the Niners quarterback next year, that's fine.
00:07
And, you know, people, it's gonna, people probably would laugh because
00:10
I've bet Brock Purdy to win league MVP for two straight years.
00:14
I bet him preseason two years ago, which let's be honest, incredible bet.
00:21
Maybe he didn't deserve MVP, but he deserved it more than the
00:24
guy that won it in Lamar Jackson.
00:26
I bet him this year on a value shot, didn't work out.
00:30
The team wasn't good enough.
00:32
He wasn't good enough.
00:33
That's fine.
00:34
I can live with that.
00:37
But if Brock is their quarterback, the Niners can win games.
00:41
They can win a lot of games.
00:45
It's that if Brock is their quarterback at league breaking, record breaking money,
00:54
that is insane that you do not need, you do not need to be the best
01:05
quarterback in football to make the most money in football, but there
01:11
has to be a belief somewhere that you are a top five quarterback, or
01:17
could end up being that to reset that market borrow bright, obviously
01:24
that box people bring up Trevor Lawrence, Trevor Lawrence, the idea
01:29
was always all eventually he'll be top five Jordan love this past
01:33
off season, Dak Prescott, people do believe is a top five quarterback.
01:37
Not me.
01:39
Dak gets judged on a very friendly scale, but nobody thinks that Brock
01:44
Purdy is a top five quarterback in football.
01:47
Nobody thinks there's really a path for Brock Purdy to be a top
01:50
five quarterback in football.
01:53
So here's where Darnold comes in.
01:59
If Sam Darnold now again, watching his potential annual salary get cut
02:06
in more than half last night is available for a three-year deal,
02:15
60 million total, right?
02:20
Would the Niners rather that path giving them additional money to spend
02:26
elsewhere on a roster that keeps losing guys to injury, maybe they
02:30
need to get younger in some spots.
02:32
Maybe we need to swap out some bodies, right?
02:37
Or a Niners team that's just built on having stars at nearly every level.
02:42
Would they be more interested in spending 60 million total on Sam
02:47
Darnold than 60 million annually on Brock Purdy?
