The Official Brock Purdy Thread

[Cameron Giles]

Lance traded to Dallas.

[mild]

Don't chase good money after bad. Sell now and be done imo.

This was sage advice. Shoutout to the Lance truthers... but it is officially joe-ver.

We will see how this turns out. Declaring someone's career Dead on Arrival at age 23 with what 4 games under his belt is not the smartest idea.

What if we add "and just got traded to his 2nd team on his rookie contract and officially beaten out by a 6th round QB?"

Here's a better question more appropriately levelled at where we are now at:

"Would you rather roster Trey Lance or Zach Wilson?"

Lance traded to Dallas.

At least SF recovered a 4th rounder.

This is the vote of confidence the Purdy nay sayers needed. SF willing to lose their investment in Lance for a 4th basically gain nothing. They are content and happy with their hit in the 7th.

Has shannahan named him the starter?

"Kyle Shanahan says Brock Purdy has always been unquestioned QB1 for Niners: "It actually blows my mind that there's confusion because I feel like we've said that 100 percent consistent since Day 1""

That doesn’t matter. The 3 1sts were a sunk cost. They recovered a 4th for a guy who they might have been forced to cut. If they put him on the PS someone would grab him for nothing. If they carry 3 QBs to protect a guy who has not shown a thing as a pro they lose the roster spot all year. Getting that 4th rounder was a big deal - look at what SF has done with day 3 picks. They hosed DAL in this deal. 4th rounders may mean next to nothing to FFers, but they have significant value to NFL teams. And now DAL has to surrender the roster spot to hold him.

It matters when you discuss all time worst trades in sports history

You know ESPN will do a 30 for 30 on it someday

Yeah, it was a bad pick. RG3 had at least 1 good season, but also a bad trade. Those trade ups rarely seem to work. Ricky Williams was another.

Imagine the pressure of Lance trying to learn the NFL and become the franchise QB of "America's team", with no experience. If it was a long shot in SF, it's a shot at the moon in Dallas, behind a proven, top 12ish, QB, in his prime. Lance will almost certainly be going in to FA after his 4th year with basically no time as a starter, after missing his final year of college. That would be 6 years. The odds are long that he'd be signed as a starter at that point, anyways. Almost non existent. He'd be a backup, getting a moderate deal.

Well, I guess that does matter if you care what ESPN thinks.

Zach Wilson, hoping he sits and learns behind Rodgers and can turn things around once Rodgers retires. More hope in that then Lance suddenly beating out Dak...

Why is this guys a$$ different places?

[FantasyFreak]

He plays well, but man, his deep ball stinks. He's missing throws badly there. He's so much better than Lance, don't get me wrong. The idea he's in the top tier of QB's, though is wrong, IMO. He's really hitting 2/3rd's of this scheme fairly well. The deep 3rd, he just doesn't have it there. He's missing easy points for an "elite" QB.

So while he is playing well, I'm going to say NO, to the idea he's elite right now, Mike. Congrats on the win.
