Future Pro Football Hall of Fame QB Drew Brees believes NFL teams can learn from how the Purdy situation shook out in San Francisco.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has taken the NFL by storm since stepping into the starting role during the 2022 season. Now, the 25-year-old signal-caller is generating headlines ...

Compare him to Jimmy Garoppolo. When Garoppolo was the 49ers starting quarterback from 2017 to 2022, his passer rating in the fourth quarter of close games was 104 according to ESPN. For all of his flaws, he was mentally tough. As opposed to Purdy, who melts down.

Purdy ranks fourth in the NFL in QBR (69.3), sixth in passing yards (9,075), first in yards per attempt (8.9), and seventh in passing touchdowns (61). However, the 49ers could choose to let Purdy play out the season and franchise tag him.

They can structure it similarly to how the Packers structured Love's extension. Technically, it's a four-year, $220 million contract worth $55 million per season. But the final season is not guaranteed and his salary cap number is $75 million. So they'll either cut him or extend his contract again before the final season of his current season.
