San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The\u00a0San Francisco 49ers\u00a0look ready to make\u00a0Brock Purdy\u00a0their QB of the future, but they may need to act fast to get it done right.<\/p>\n
While the 2024 season has clearly been a frustrating one for\u00a0San Francisco, Purdy has been fine. Extending him seems like the most likely plan for the 49ers, but The Athletic columnist Mike Silver thinks the team needs to commit quickly.<\/p>\n
In a\u00a0recent Athletic podcast, Silver talked about a potential $60-million-a-year deal for Purdy. While he doesn\u2019t know if the number is right, he thinks the Niners can\u2019t waste time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would say yes and I think\u00a0Kyle [Shanahan]\u00a0decided that long ago. Like Christmas two years ago, honestly, when he was thrown in,\u201d Silver\u00a0responded when asked if Purdy was worth a mega extension. \u201cBut this is a new world, right? And so instead of having this collection of highly-paid, in-their-prime All-Stars, and a quarterback on the cheapest rookie deal ever \u2014 whether its [$60 million] or not, I don\u2019t know \u2014 I would just urge the 49ers, based on recent history, figure it out and do it quick. Like do it early. Don\u2019t make this a thing that drags out based on how that\u2019s affected them.\u201d<\/p>\n
San Francisco has seen what issues delays can bring, best evidenced by two of their most important players.<\/p>\n
San Francisco Stars Struggle After Holdouts<\/h2>\n
Holdouts are a natural thing when big contracts are being negotiated. They\u2019re not ideal, but they happen. However, the 49ers have twice been bitten by holdouts in recent years with DE Nick Bosa and WR\u00a0Brandon Aiyuk.<\/p>\n
Bosa held out for 44 days in 2023 to get his $170 million deal. While he still had a solid 2023 season with 10.5 sacks, that was a significant drop off from the 18.5 and 15.5-sack seasons he had in 2022 and 2021 respectively.<\/p>\n
Not getting negotiations until early September clearly mattered, as\u00a0Bosa\u00a0only totaled 1 sack over the 49ers\u2019 first four games last season.<\/p>\n
Aiyuk is an even better example, as his $120 million contract was followed up by a lackluster season and injury. Over the first four games, the 26-year-old receiver totaled just 167 receiving yards and did not score.<\/p>\n
His ACL and MCL tear only further highlighted his lack of a preseason with\u00a0the Niners.<\/p>\n
Purdy Regresses in 2024<\/h2>\n
In a season riddled by injuries, how much blame should be put on Purdy? He has clearly regressed, but he\u2019s been working without names like RB\u00a0Christian McCaffrey\u00a0and Aiyuk for most of the season.<\/p>\n
After 31 touchdowns and 11 INTs in 17 games last year, Purdy has 13 TDs and 8 picks in 2024. He\u2019s also averaging less yards per attempt (8.4 compared to 2023\u2019s 9.6) as well as averaging less yards per game with 246.1 passing yards per game.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no question that\u00a0Purdy hasn\u2019t been as good. It just comes down to why. In many ways, this season feels like a cursed one for San Francisco.<\/p>\n
But\u00a0the 49ers has a major decision with Purdy and he hasn\u2019t played at a high enough level to leave no doubt about a deal. Either way, the 2025 offseason will likely focus around Purdy\u2019s future deal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
