Would you pay Brock Purdy $55 million a year to be Saints franchise QB? [mod edit]

I brought back 10 years ago because of the age context you brought up.

I didn't say Purdy was a bad QB, so no need to bring up a bunch of bad QBs that couldn't bring the 49ers to the Super Bowl; not sure what the point of that was. Jimmy G. and Nick Foles both took their very well-constructed teams to Super Bowls too; does this mean they're suddenly great QBs?

Perhaps Carr was on his way to winning a playoff game with Jon Gruden, but Gruden got fired in what was set to be their best year together after a long rebuild of a very poor roster.

But I guess we are now back on the “It’s all on the QB and no one else” narrative. Nope, coaching doesn’t matter, roster construction doesn’t matter, injuries don’t matter, having a defense never ranked better than the bottom third doesn’t matter…nope, it’s all on the QB and QB only to break through all of that and also form a new organizational culture in general overall all by himself. 😂

If Derek Carr was 25 and his last 3 years we were in the NFCCG and Superbowl he'd have a lot more fans on this board and I'd have no problem giving him what Purdy is asking for.

We had Brees in his prime and a stacked superbowl ready roster multiple times throughout the 2010's and the closest we got was one NFCCG appearance. Any QB who proves they can make it that far in the dance multiple times deserves their money. There are at least 10 other teams in this league that have the roster to win a Superbowl but don't have the QB to lead them there.

Last paragraph is just ranting about stuff no one said. Shanahan isn't going to take a risk on a total unknown at QB after Purdy saved his job. He's already proven he can run his offense at a Superbowl level, what else are you looking for?
