Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

They paid him because of his stats since he became a starter. He's first in YPA, 4th in Yards, 4th in TD's and first in QBR. 

And trending downward in all of them. They're paying in the rearview mirror. As the offensive pieces that were carrying Purdy fall to the wayside the truth is emerging. And yet they still paid him like he's an MVP candidate. They're fuged. I'll be shocked if Purdy hasn't peaked.

If Bryce is Purdy level in 3 years.. tag, trade and start back over

F that. Id rather have a strong team with a journeyman QB and try and catch lightning in a bottle.

Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried.

Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
