He has done enough and even with the way he has played this season he still deserves it. Do you expect Brock to all of a sudden turn into Ryan Leaf anytime soon? Brock is on pace for another 4,000 yard season. And if all these other QB's who haven't done s**t in the playoffs got paid then no question Brock Purdy has earned it!!!
We can argue about how he's played, but it's really beside the point (for now at least). What he does over the next 9+ games, into next season potentially, is going to figure into contract negotiations.
Let's just say for the sake of discussion that he plays inarguably poorly for the rest of the year. In that scenario the team is not simply going to pay him like a top QB because he looked like one in his first 1.5 years starting.
I still disagree, because he's shown more times than he hasn't that he still can play. You're gonna discount 9 games over what he has already accomplished? Sure his poor play may factor in his upcoming contract but do you actually think by a lot?
You act like he's saying the team is going to offer him a $10M a year deal or something if he does play poorly.
the rest of this season will have a lot to do with how the negotiations go. I think it's safe to say that Brock is going to get a fat payday, unless he has a catastrophic injury, but how fat is the question - and his play will factor into that.
The qb market is dumb anyways. Lol guys like dak are the highest paid ever and Daniel's out here earning $40M or whatever it is.
Anyways, Brock isn't the problem and I expect us to be a much better team after the bye and we get key guys back. The injuries, special teams, inconsistent run game, poor pass pro, lack of YAC, mediocre red zone etc are all things that I'm hoping to see improvements in.
a healthy CMC can help with most of that but we will see.
