Again, same premise. If Brock plays hardball and demands a 60+ million contract, is unwilling to finish out his current contract, then you have an option B stop gap until we find our long term solution.

yes, the team is committed to Brock. At least Shanahan, the most talented QB evaluator that ever existed, is. But we've seen contract talk fall apart with this team before. And if Brock and his agent start pushing, trade his ass and pick up a temporary fit like Darnold or Cousins and start looking for the next franchise QB…

Kirk is not an option B. He's not an option at all. His starting days are over.

He should absolutely be an option B. "His starting days are over" was a comment we heard when talks of Brady over Jimmy were rumored, and look how that backfired on us. Again, we can agree that Kirk Cousins is not the long term solution. He's just a cheaper alternative to Brock while we continue our search for a true franchise quarterback. Clearly you're starting to hear name like Darnold and Cousins being swirled around the 49ers because a lot of pundits are not convinced Purdy is worth the 60 million dollar contract that some fans think he's worth. We made the mistake of overpaying a semi-dependable QB in the past and it didn't exactly work out. So why make the same mistake, especially if Brock has no plans on taking a discount or if he doesn't agree to finish out his current contract.

Cousins would cost about 27m next year.
Darnold closer to 35-40m.

Both cheaper option than Purdy.

All 3 options likely stop gaps while we search for an elite quarterback…

Brandon Allen is also a cheaper option than Purdy. But he sucks so who cares. Same as Cousins. Darnold will never make it to FA

Don't buy Sam Darnold as the replacement for Brock Purdy. We had both of the QB's here last season and it was apparent who the better QB on 49ers was then. If he's so good why would Minnesota let him walk? And if they let him walk why is that? No thanks on Darnold. For fun, there is footage of the perpetual pessimist Grant Cohn saying Sam Darnold cannot be the starting QB of the 49ers. Now he is? He's just baiting for clicks. The 49ers aren't in a great position because they haven't been lucky enough to land Mahomes, Herbert, Allen, Jackson, or Burrow. But it could get a lot worse.

Darnold is destined to be a Las Vegas Raider.

Yep, total click bait drama posts. 🗑 Stupid s**t. Lolol.

This team is staring at a superbowl window that is slamming shut with maybe a crack of daylight showing thru. If you think they are going to do anything except try to secure the best available option at QB you are smoking something.

I've said it along, Darnold is one of those QB that can be compared to Nick Foles.. He shoulda been kept, especially as our BAD WEATHER QB since Purdy's Kryptonite is the weather..

but, I forgot to remember who our HC is.. lol

It's absurd to think it was realistic to keep Darnold following Purdy and the team's 2023 season, for both parties (The 49ers and Darnold).

BUT that bad weather Raven game shoulda been a flag.. at least convince Darnold to stay another year..

Damn even Rodgers name getting thrown into the mix. Says two things with all these rumors circling.

1) ppl are not convinced with Brock's abilities
2) ppl aren't convinced he's worth top dollar

thats 3 different speculated QBs in the past week. I still think if Purdy camp plays hardball and sits out for 60+ per, we cut ties by using him as trade bait and start looking for the future QB via draft. Bring a stop gap guy in to keep the team afloat (or best case scenario help Shanny sink the ship so we can fire that clown) until we find the "one"…

Well they were dumb enough to pay Jimmy G, so I wouldn't be surprised if they make the same mistake again.

I'm curious though... is Sam Darnold an upgrade to Derek Carr from a few years ago when he was with them? I see Sam have nice stats/passes but then throw the same WTF ints as Derek did back then.

Rodgers is cooked too. He's locker room poison. His MVP level play has historically allowed him to overcome his toxic personality and FO meddling but now that he's JAG he stinks like a 3-day old fish

Purdy's brain and Darnold's arm.

The "ppl" are clickbait specialists who do not necessarily bring any particular knowledge of football to the table. No one in their right minds would take any notice of their views when running a football team.

Someone who, like you, actually argues for the destruction of the current team in order that, in due course, a completely different team can rise from the ashes probably isn't actually a fan of that team.

Even if you are a fan, arguing that a team which has been competitive for quite some time should put all that aside and build a future entirely based on the possibility that they might sometime be lucky enough to find the QBOTF is painfully futile. Look at the decades it took KC to luck into Mahomes, for example. Or the history of the Cowboys post Aikman. And the years between Garcia and Purdy. And a lot of people at the time were as critical of Garcia as you and others are of Purdy. That being said, a chunk of the fan base was as critical of Steve Young ("like a deer caught in car headlights") prior to his Super Bowl.

I won't let Aaron Rodgers' vax smoke screen distract me from the stench of the tape. He's entitled to his opinion, but to say you aren't concerned with what we say is a lie… I mean it's the reason we are here.

It's a continuation of his hypocrisy that started with criticizing… pic.twitter.com/Ko0ogDFHnQ
