He is not the hero we deserve. He is the hero we need.

They suck at drafting, but they have a pretty good track record of knowing quickly when they messed up once they have a guy in the building(Joe Williams, Pettis, Sermon, Trey, Latu, etc)
This isn't Jimmy G where you make a decision after 5 games and then he immediately ghosts everybody. I trust them in this situation. They've spent 3 years with him
Definitely agree they have shown the ability to quickly correct. That's why when they inevitably sign Brock this offseason it will hopefully be with outs that allow them to correct as painlessly as possible should it become necessary.
There will be a way out of the contract if he doesn't perform, no doubt about it
A way out? Like the $60M+ dead cap hit in 2026 for Love. You can't give out huge contracts without losing somewhere to get out of them .
As far as building an elite team around Purdy, the FO hit on only 9 of 25 picks in rounds 1-3. My confidence isn't too high on them in the draft.
You don't have confidence in the Niners FO to draft, but you want to play hard ball with Purdy and likely have to replace him with someone from the draft?
WTF are you talking about ? Where did I say I want the niners to play hardball ? I said before paying him $60M , I'd like to see a bit more . You call that playing hardball? I hate posts that just make s**t up !

I would play hardball with Brock and let us assess him for another year before committing to him. He has been regressing and it makes sense that we need more time to evaluate him.

Gee you don't think missing your top O-lineman, top WR, top RB along with the multiple injuries to O-lineman and RB's have anything to do with it right? Let's also add in that George Kittle missed three games this season.

I understand your point but we really don't really know for sure. And we do have him under contract for another year so it would make sense to have more time to assess him.

But with the 49ers the chances are highly likely they will do a deal with Brock. I addressed the possibility of the 49ers signing other QB's if Brock were to hold out (which I don't see that happening) earlier in this post.

Yeah lets let the 49ers force Brock to play on his final year something they would not do with BA. Yeah good luck with that. No way if I were Brock I would play that final year and risk getting hurt and getting zilch after I had already proven what I can do with most of my top players around an NFC title game then a Superbowl.
The contracts "force" them to.
They can hold out the entire year, but then that gives the team an extra contract year, so.....
....you can blame this kinda contract stuff on the NFLPA maybe. Not the 49ers.
I know they can I am saying it will not happen.
You talked about how he will not risk getting hurt. Can you please shed light on his other options outside of taking less money?

Do with Brock what we did with Ayiuk. Find out if other teams are even interested and for how much. Bring in Cousins or Darnold as a backup plan if he holds out.
It's time we show Brock what a hardball actually is.

I strongly dispute that he has "crumbled" without his skill players. He has had an average, middle of the pack, season. Considering all he has been playing without, he absolutely should have crumbled. But there's not a single metric that says he's did.
Also, I'd love for you to elaborate on these "indefensible mental mistakes" he has made.
Not enough ppl recognize "time to throw" as not just being quick game play calls, but the ability to recognize coverage weaknesses, eliminate options that don't have a chance & getting eyes on "read" defender quickly to simplify game & get ball out!

Jordan Love had a great year after being a 1st round pick. That got him his extension.
Brock's situation is exactly the opposite. Why we keep bringing up 1st rd. picks like Lawrence and Love that maybe had tapped some of their potential for a year?
Why not more examples of 6th-7th rd. picks and the large extensions they got after coming off of a subpar year?
This would sure give much better context.
One. One great year. And his great year was not as good as Brock's.
We bring up examples like Love and Lawrence because Purdy has been markedly better than both of them both individually and team wise. We don't need an example of a 6th or 7th round pick for context. You do simply because you are looking for a POV that can't be argued against. Why not compare him to his peers?

He is going to get paid. There's no other option. If they refuse to pay him he will hold out and that will end the 2025 season before it begins. There's no viable Plan B. Sam Darnold at 30+M / APY? And for how long? How much GTD? Kirk Cousins who looks like a shell of himself the last 6 weeks? A reclamation project like Zach Wilson or Mac Jones?
It will probably be $50-55M APY and around $170M GTD.
Keep in mind Trevor Lawrence got $200M GTD, Dak got $231M GTD, Hurts got 179M GTD, Goff got 170M GTD, Tua got 167M GTD
I don't think any of those guys are clearly better than Purdy despite a few having better seasons.

You said he got to the SB,...got to the NFCCG. You didnt bring up any of these other positions when you claimed "Brock got there."
