It's not even 3 pm and you're already drinking?
So you think Brock is as good as Mahomes/burrow/allen?
I feel like folks need to drink with the stuff people are tossing out there
There are so many examples of "the best" not being the highest paid, the ever evolving NFL contract ecosystem is nuts.
I think Brock Purdy could pull off a Drew Brees level career....I think that is a possibility, but I think it is impossible to put Purdy into the conversation with. QB's that have elite physical traits, that also produce elite statistical results.
I think that reserving elite pay, for guys who can get elite results under the worst of circumstances is a very easy position to defend. It might not be historically accurate (since we can all think of guys who got the money when they should not have), but that is a sure fire way to protect a franchise from a mistake.
Brock, rightly has that product of the system label. I think Joe and Steve had it as well, but I think...Brock already has as many 3+ interception games as Joe Montana had in his career. I think things like that matter.
Personally I would not let Brock walk easily, but you really can't escape the reality that Brock needs a better line than he has to even get a fair evaluation.
