as for Geno. He is who he is. Slightly above average quarterback, he can show amazing talent and skill and then he can show his inconsistency and failure to produce and or epic mistakes under pressure. I'd argue on a better team Geno could look much better than he does, like if he played for the Niners with a way more consistent run game. But either way he's not a QB who can carry a team on his arm. He may be able to do so in spurts or even to finish a game. But I wouldn't rely on him to do so on a regular basis. He looks like a 12 year vet who is not a top 5 QB.
Purdy will not show his true capabilities until he gets paid and the team around him fades which could be amazing or he could be like CK (don't forget he at one point looked like gods gift to football that didn't get the respect he deserved). Btw I'm not saying Purdy is a bad QB, I'm just saying we've seen this story time and time again where a very good team appears to have an elite QB and you really don't know if they are until the other stars go.
People said the same thing before CMC went down, he's played without CMC and Deebo at times, dealt with injuries all over the offense. Give the kid some credit. If Geno was playing like Purdy you'd be talking MVP.
