In all that was the reason you can't pay Purdy top dollar...between scheme/playcalling, line and QB limitations when the offense gets into 3rd and long its a train wreck.
I don't know you tell me but with all that nonsense you wrote I'm pretty sure it didn't happen very often since we only had so many LTs to lose and Juice had 31 targets all year long.
Here's a thought. Pay the first QB who has been playing consistent football in the regular season and playoffs and actually didn't hurt you during the playoffs, when you don't have a real option to replace him.
Pay him and then you know...look to improve the OL you're putting out there with him? Learn from the mistakes you saw happen this season and go into next year better prepared for what you're likely going to see?
That's what smart teams do. This desire by fans to swap QBs because "you can't pay him elite money when he's not elite" is nonsensical.
49ers are picking 11th in a draft that doesn't appear to be very strong at the position. You gain nothing by letting Brock play next year because if you're expecting the price to go DOWN, you're basically rooting against your own best interests which while you as fans have 0 skin in the game...Kyle and John most certainly don't want his price tag to go down next year.
And this is what some of you simply need to get through your heads - you're not making the decision. Kyle and John are.
He saved their ass from the Trey Lane disaster and for all the talk about his regression he put up a season that wasn't anything terrible. It was bad for HIS standards but when the whole team save like 3-4 players regress from the year prior, good luck having great numbers. Kyle didn't exactly help Brock much either for the majority of the year. We saved the easy button until injuries really killed the OL and we were almost out of contention. Why...good question.
Either way the solution forward is simple. Pay the guy who has won you a lot of games and clearly knows how to run this offense at a high level and make sure you set him up for success by building up the team around him and making the key changes coaching wise to give him that easy button all year.
