Wow. This is big. But I like this trade for 9ers. Get what you can and walk away from a mistake. They’ve done plenty of good. This won’t kill the franchise.
Nah, should have kept him for cheap insurance, it’s not sunk cost if he’s not costing you anything. People also forget he is literally younger than Purdy even though he was drafted the year previous. The kid is young, and has no snaps, he’s an absolutely unknown project right now… the same as he was when the Niners thought he was worth 3 firsts. So to turn around and ship him for a 4th is dumb in my opinon. Especially after last year. And that’s coming from a Niners fan.
He’s not unknown - they’ve got multiple years of Trey Lance in practice. We don’t get to see most of that but the 9ers staff do and they’ve decided he’s not good enough to start.
It is costing them millions of dollars a year. Trading him opens up that cap money for other players.
It’s not, it would cost them $940,000 this year to keep him. Should have kept him for that, and then if an injury happens to us at QB we are still okay and if an injury happens on another team and they are desperate for a QB we can get more than a 4th… a 4th after trading away 3 firsts is fucking atrocious.
Hahahahahahahahaha
Ahem. I meant to say as an Eagles fan this is hilarious

It’s obviously embarrassing for niners fans to have this opinion, but I get it. For the niners players to also say stuff like this out loud, into microphones, is pretty pathetic. Welcome to football in 2023, protect… your… quarterback

Ugh. Niners fan by marriage here. Not sure if I like any aspect of this saga.
Fuck them boys.
2 firsts and a swap for a 4th?
We’re really going to lose 2 previous starting qbs for a kid who’s already lost us a playoff game due to injury?
Is darnold really our backup?
lost us a playoff game due to injury
This is the shitiest of shit takes. “Damn that Purdy exceeding expectations in every possible way until he hurt himself, intentionally, in a playoff game.” 🙄
Wait, there are people who are mad at Purdy for the Eagles loss?
