QB Brock Purdy, SF (2 Viewers)

The Niners are winning without him. He's not coming back until he's really close to 100%.
Yes, this is my concern too. Mac is playing well and the Niners are winning. So they probably won’t bring him back until he’s 100%. Who knows when that will be…
I think he’s pushing hard to play and the minute he tells them he can he’s back. I think they expected that to be this week but his toe just can’t get right.

I do not think the way Mac Jones is playing is slowing down his return in any way. Mac’s so beat to hell, he needs a break as much as anyone.

I do up to a point. I think they'd probably be pushing Brock out there if a hurt version of him was better than the backup. Mac is setting the bar pretty high so I suspect that's giving him and the team a greater degree of comfort in letting Brock get fully healthy.
 
17/26 for 152 yards 0 tds and a pick
27/39 for 359 yards 0 tds and 2 picks

I don’t understand where all this commentary on Mac Jones playing so well comes from. He had moxie and grit winning that game against the Rams, but wouldn’t say he’s leading this team.

For what it’s worth, FBGs have Purdy ranked pretty high this week currently. They’ve seen the same coach speak as us, but sometimes know a little bit more as well. Will be interesting to see what practice reports look like.
 
He'll be game to game even if the 49ers decide to start him because of all the money they gave him. At best, they start him while Jones' knee heals, maybe go 1-1 in those starts, then Purdy's toe has to get surgery. His season is cooked. The best asset Purdy has is his mobility, and with a lesser arm that is throwing picks inside the numbers that is now tossing patented Jimmy Garoppolo hospital balls, I mean it was a big mistake to give him all that guaranteed money to have him on an IR season that has Mac Jones doing more with less.

Purdy is not a franchise QB. He doesn't have the arm for one, now he doesn't even have the feet for one.

Putting your obvious dislike for Purdy aside, why are you so confident he is cooked this season?

Not to speak for @drummer but maybe it's because it's TURF TOE?

Lmao at thinking they know more than us.

And Macs #s might not be great the last two weeks but bottom line is the guy is i believe 4-1 affording them the ability to get Purdy healthy.

This is one of the worst takes I've seen. Wow

Yes, that was pretty bad wasn't it.

No it isn't, this current 49er team isn't the team that Purdy took over after Garoppolo had to come in and save it from Lance, then they signed CMC, Garoppolo got hurt, and the 49ers had a relatively good run of health until they didn't. A big reason is because they could afford players when Purdy was on a rookie contract. His last few games going into this season he is throwing picks over the middle of the field, he can't stay healthy, the offensive line is bad, the defensive line can't generate a pass rush, and Purdy is not going to be able to fix all that. He doesn't have the arm that even Jones has, he has more mobility but with a turf toe that has him sidelined.

With a defense that has been depleted, a defensive backfieild that is suspect, the 49er offense is going to have to put more points on the board than they had. Purdy is 1-1 in his only two starts this season with 4TDs to 4 INTs. Combined with Jones the 49er QBs 12 Tds to 9 INTS. They just can't get Purdy on the field yet, and if they do, he might suffer another injury that will cook his season.
 
Mark him OUT so I can make a roster move!

I’m thinking about Mac Jones over Trevor Lawrence in Superflex but I just can’t pull the trigger on that idea.
This might be the most annoying thing for me as a Purdy owner in multiple leagues. I keep getting roster locked when he goes back to "questionable" Tuesday despite knowing he will eventually be declared out.

How invested are the 49ers in Purdy? Anybody know?

Per my src in Bay Area,

based on the contract he signed in May, they sure look very invested in him


Brock Purdy has a five-year, $265 million contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers, which includes $181 million guaranteed and an average annual salary of $53 million. The deal, signed in May 2025, also includes a $40 million signing bonus and a no-trade clause.

  • Contract Value: $265 million over five years
  • Average Annual Salary: $53 million
  • Guaranteed Money: $181 million total, with $100 million fully guaranteed at signing
  • Signing Bonus: $40 million
  • No-Trade Clause: Included for the duration of the deal
  • Status: The deal was signed in May 2025, extending him through the 2030 season.

lots of guaranteed money in his deal, and I am not sure he can be easily traded

What is truly important in the contract?

Guarantees and dates of execution, right? And dead cap hits, right? I'm not pefect with reading contracts but I'm getting better, and I look only at guarantees and dates where stuff becomes guaranteed.

This is a diplomatic look at it.


A serious look at it tells you they might have a very reasonable out after 2026, according to some sources. Don't forget, these contracts aren't public so we only know what team, agent, NFLPA, and player tell us, and that's if they want. The dead cap is not that stiff after 2026 if they cut him pre-June 1st, according to Over The Cap. In practical terms, there's wiggle room on this, I think. The most likely is that his base salary is so big that you can convert it to a bonus in a restructure around 2028 or so. But I think they also have a reasonable out after 2026.

My n00b mind looked at no trade clause and figured that is a wrap, but I’m sure there are workarounds.

I'm talking release. The no-trade clause doesn't speak to that, really.

User "Hankmoody" did one. He was trying to get it going. I started working through the stuff this summer and up until now. I need a lot of work still.

 
Purdy has been very good for SF as a starter, why are talking about them getting rid of him?

Injuries or efficiency. They wrote the contract the way they did with a lot of salary and not quite as much in guaranteed money as comparable QBs.

They are about to be paying him a huge salary for a value that was approximated by a reclamation project costing them (right under their noses) 2 years/$11.5M, or something akin to it, running their offense just fine. There were a whole slew of people grumbling when Mac Jones nearly matched all of Brock Purdy's ratings and numbers without having the quality of Purdy's receivers when Purdy put those numbers up—and there were rumors Shanahan had really traded up for Mac back when he and Lynch traded the three first-round picks to get their QB. So now all of the sudden here's Mac for $5.5M/year slinging it; and people look at Purdy's huge base salary each year down the line ('28, '29, '30) and they began to whisper that Purdy's contract isn't exactly what Florio and the press machine made it out to be because it has a few outs where the cap hit isn't prohibitive and the money isn't guaranteed, so I think it's legitimate to ask.

Let me ask you this. If you found out Detroit had done something similar with Jameson Williams (they did) you also might wonder what was up with the team-friendly contract that didn't give a ton to the player but instead was a new contract with decent guarantees and an extension like Purdy got (only Purdy is probably going to get $115M guaranteed, which is really significant but the questions are similar), and you might further wonder why the team gave themselves all those outs without being on the hook for anything. Purdy's close to buy-your-own-island wealthy no matter what happens to him, and it can't hurt to ask about downsides and responsibilities.

Not to speak for @drummer but maybe it's because it's TURF TOE?

Thank you, someone said it. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills when reading Purdy news reports. The story sounds & looks like every RB/WR turf toe story ever. 1. It’s called something else, 2. Repeated this week/next week is the week reports, 3. Questionable tag & Sunday it’s the backup again. This might be an all season thing?
 
Kyle Shanahan on what he needs to see from Brock Purdy in order to be comfortable with him playing again:

“That he feels confident and ready to go based off how his toe feels… He has to let us know how good he feels. It’s hard to know what’s going on with the toe. The last time we felt like he was feeling pretty good, looked pretty good in practice, and then in the game a hit set him back 4 weeks. So it’s kind of a sensitive situation and hopefully getting some reps in practice will give him that confidence that it’s better than it was last time.”

Yep, I said this way back in the thread that it could be an all season thing. Or beyond that...
 
Was hoping Purdy would be back by now to help boost my 49er shares. It still blows my mind that out of all the skill position players on San Fran, CMC is the healthiest one.
 
Still think he’s a difference maker and will play against LAR
I think they should hold him out another week even if he's healthy enough to play next week.

I'd rather them not throw him back out there against the Rams after a month away...let him return with games against the Cardinals and Panthers in weeks 11 and 12.

Important division game......if Purdy can play, I would guess he plays.

I’d be very surprised if he’s not out there against the Rams.
