Idk about you guys but I've been smiling from ear to ear all day. This kid is exactly what this offense needed. 4… nearly 5 touchdowns in his first postseason start. He creates, he targets downfield, he can escape the pocket, he protects the footbal… he does it all. Our future is incredibly bright.

So no "open competition" with Lance next year for you?

Why does it matter? What are you afraid of?

If it's so clear to you Brock is far superior to Trey any "open competition" will result in Brock winning it easily and being named the starter regardless right?

As someone who believes Trey Lance will be a good QB in the long run, if they called for an open competition... I'd just be wondering if it'd be a fair competition for Purdy.

But all in all though... Shanahan's not an idiot. He knows what he has in those two QB's, working with them day in and day out. It'll be fine whatever he decides.

So if Mahomes and Burrow have to go through an "open competition" next season, and they're annoyed by that, they are afraid? I disagree. Purdy has already earned QB1 status for next season. A competition is unnecessary and would take away first team reps that would prepare him for the regular season.

In Kyle we trust

The intelligent ones amongst us anyway

Except it would take reps from a guy who only started 5 regular season games. Reps matter right?

He's had 8 million reps in college and boatloads of reps the past 7 games and hopefully 3 more games right?

And he looks pretty damn good right?

The reps that matter are reps in games.. ie regular season and playoff games. Brock beats Trey out in the offseason he will get damn near ALL the reps in the regular season practices and obv all the reps in the regular season games.

Open competition and may best man win - Brock looks to clearly have the edge at this point as he is playing magnificently and I couldn't be happier about it. However nothing he is doing are things Trey is not capable of. Obv Jimmy can't do at all what Brock can which is what we have been saying for YEARS to you people with an absurd infatuation with a limited qb and a severe playoff liability. Glad Brock can show you what a real QB looks like.

Crazy to think Micah Parsons was drafted with our original pick. Imagine Parsons and Bosa together!

if only we knew of Purdy's greatness in 2021.

Oh well, hindsight is 20/20.

All of this.

The reps that matter are the ones in games, which Purdy has clearly shown he's superior. But you want an open competition during camp and preseason - and for Kyle to pick a starter from those reps, that don't matter. I see.

Comparing Brock to Mahomes and Burrow? Lmao dude. Mahomes is a champion and Burrow a #1 overall pick. We happen to have a #3 overall pick on the roster that got injured through no fault of his own - not like we have Zach Wilson on the roster playing like s**t for two years and looking non-functional.

Talk to me if Brock wins the Super Bowl. Which I desperately hope he does.

I'm down with whatever Shanahan thinks. If he thinks Brock has earned QB1 and no competition is necessary I'm good with that as he has seen more of both qbs in practice than you or I could ever hope to see. I want whoever Kyle thinks will be the best qb in the near term AND long term. If that's Brock let's do it. If he thinks it's Trey though he should go with that. I just want whoever will be considered the most elite qb five years from now not just in the current moment.

But I'm sure as hell not going by your thoughts and proclamations on the matter.

Very curious to see how the offseason goes.

The wonderful thing about Brock Purdy's situation is that he's on his rookie contract.

Wherever you stand, whether you think he's the next Great Franchise QB, A Really Good Guy for This Year and Next or just a back-up that's really lucky to have Shanahan/surrounding cast, at the end of the day... he's on his rookie contract for two more years after this... as is Trey Lance. Comparatively, to other teams, our total, combined cap hit for those two QB's will be, at a maximum, $12M, in 2024. Meanwhile, in 2024, other teams will have huge cap hits for their guys---Mahomes? $44M. Allen? $41M. Prescott? $52M. Stafford? $49M.

Even if you have the worst view of Purdy... that he's a product of Shanahan and his surrounding cast... With our low QB cap figure, you know what's awesome? Barring a complete collapse, Shanahan will continue to be here, and we can afford to keep that surrounding cast for a couple more years. For the next two years, if healthy, the worst-case scenario, we can still have Purdy Shanahan everyone else.

It's for beyond 2024 that we DO have to know if Purdy (or Lance) is a Franchise QB. Because at that point, you have to extend one of those guys to a deal that you figure is going to be at LEAST an AAV of $25M/year. At that point, whoever that is doesn't have the luxury of having superstars at every position. We have plenty of time to figure out our long-term QB situation.

So for now... just enjoy the ride and let the chips fall however they fall.

GREAT post! We have at minimum 2 more years to this ridiculous window and even after extending Purdy (or Lance, longshot) we could structure those extensions to keep the window open for 3-4 years longer.

This. There are teams out there that are desperate for one QB. We possibly have 2. I'm enjoying this ride, will enjoy an open competition next year, and will enjoy knowing that if our starter goes down next year, we STILL can make a run- for the next two seasons.

Purdy was a 2022 draft pick, unless this was a joke.

KS did come up with a chart this year that read TL > JG > BP

He done got it backwards.

Let´s say they don´t draft a QB in 2021 and take Micah Parsons, they would have drafted a QB probably in 2022 but certainly earlier than the 7th round.
And I´m not so sure Brock Purdy would have been the guy.
So in a weird way, they took the path that led to Brock.^^
By the way, knowing that the Niners used at least 3 QBS in 4 of the 6 seasons with Kyle, I´m super happy to have Brock and Trey in the QB room next year.

Brock has to win a SB to be compared to Burrow. Yet Burrow has not won a SB.

i wanna see brock start throwing better deep balls, he keeps under throwing his guys, its a constant theme now after 7 games

i dont think its lack of arm strength, i think hes just trying to be too fine with his throws, he needs to see it quicker and let it fly

Jimmy never learned to throw the deep ball. Rarely ever tried. You get better at stuff the more you do it. He'll get there.

If you have inside info that the staff says he's already earned it,....do tell.

Otherwise, our HC will determine who's earned what and what's necessary and what's not going forward. I don't think decisions about the 49ers really happen on public messageboards.

There is no need for nervousness here about it.
