Brock Purdy and why we don't need to draft a 1st round QB

If SF do well in the playoffs, there will be a million. Also I was very intrigued when I saw the thread title and saw that you were the author, as you're not one to get caught up in the Huddle's prevailing winds of the hour. But when I opened it, it made more sense lol.

I can't believe so many posters are AGAINST drafting a 1st round QB.  QB has been an issue for a while now and we can't just count on mid/late round diamonds or converting someone else's outcasts.  We aren't smarter than all the other teams in the league.  Just draft one we like and try to actually develop him.  We have solid OL now which is a nice first step.  

Dude, everybody knows the last pick in the draft is the best spot to get a QB!

The two teams playing last night are great examples of what a mediocre QB can do on a team with a strong running game, good OL, and good defense.

Wilson had these things in Seattle--moves to Denver, "Let's ride!" referring to the rail out of town.

Geno Smith comes in and succeeds.  Comeback player of the year.

In SF, Garrapolo is a good QB.  Good OL, defense, Running game.  He gets hurt, Purty is a good to decent QB.

A QB who was drafted late/undrafted and plays well does not disprove that drafting a QB in round one gives you a higher probability of success.  At least to rational minded folk. 

Shannonhan has worked with the following qbs:

RG3

Cousins

Matt Ryan

jimmy G

matt schuab

Johnny manziel

Purdy

Nick mullens

 

with the exception of johnny (who was forced on him) I would say he knows what the fug he is doing in developing qbs

    • Players these days don’t need the pay day of the Pro Bowl. Even the lower paid players are earning enough money to not want to risk an injury playing in a pointless game. Last year didn’t the winners take home around $100k and the losers around $50k? Sounds nice to most of us, but to them, I can understand why some turn it down or half heartedly it if they play.
    • MY HOPES. First, the ickey situation is super unfortunate.  I think try to get a reasonable extension that allows to cut if his recovery is bad.  Option being if Lewis or Hunt get hurt he can kick inside, however I think its reasonable to think with his lack of progress, and prognosis of that injury he may never be a LT again at the NFL level.  Nymen should return hopefully as well as brady and let the best LT win. We HAVE to cut X.  Its not even an option at this point.  Guy is simply put not an NFL receiver.  He can return kicks and stuff, but as one of our top 3 options, its no longer an option.  Best I'd say is see if someone is willing to give peanuts for him, if not, just cut bait or keep him at best on the bottom of the roster. Kinda addressed in first, but Icky could be a long term option at guard...maybe depending on how his recovery from injury is.  Try to resign mays, if not I'd be ok with taking a Center in the draft and sigh...letting corbett maybe play the position. LB, Get Rozeboom back, maybe not as a starter but definitely worth bringing him back and also Im a guy of the mind when guys perform well, rewards like attempting to retain go a ways amongst players to grow a positive reputation.  I always say, you cant have all pros everywhere, but continue developing Wallace, draft a LB on day one or 2, and try to find high upside players who might be better utilized in our system vs where they came from. Chuba, definitely rely on him coming back, if not see if Etienne or Brooks take off.  RB is not a position to pay a lot for in the NFL these days, utilize the depth we already have and grow from that.  If you do anything in FA, its a similar Rico signing, someone falls into your lap and you can pay a prove it contract. LASTLY, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, the big thing I want to see happen is a run at a big time Pass rusher this offseason.  I think we'll treat this as win now mode although I think our "win now" still is maybe at best an NFC Divisional...MAAAYBE championship game run.  That said, the rumors of Trey Hendrickson do make sense, although personally I'm skeptical on how well he'll perform in a 3-4 as opposed to 4-3.  Also wouldnt be surprised if there were significant trade proposal for Maxx Crosby.  We will see though, a move like that would mark a huge sign that we are attempting to win right now.
