Does It Make More Sense To Pay Brock Purdy Or Brandon Aiyuk

but what if the Niners don't make the playoffs has it does that even cross 49er fans Minds right now no should it no why because as long as the quarterback stays healthy and the head coach is here they make the playoffs is it just a quarterback and they win games they make the playoffs without mcaffrey see that's a great question because I keep asking these guys like we're talking a lot about about Brock pie and and you know the big questions on his year to me the number one question is how many more prime years do you have of CMC that's the number one question on to me Williams getting up there well Trent you know but like I I've seen left tackles Whitworth for example play high level late in their career at at an at an older age like Jason Kelly is a great example he played better football toward the end of his career but CMC is to me the engine of the offense because this is a run first team so if you're asking me like what has chain dramatically in two years it's adding CMC one of the greatest players he's literally walking into the Hall of Fame the second his career is over so we don't even it's fascinating it just accredit to Shanahan and Lynch what they've done with this organization that it doesn't even cross our minds anymore the playoffs are inevitable we already to believe we're a playoff team we already to believe that you know when the Niners sit out there thing to season ticket holders hey you want to sign up for playoff tickets get your playoff tickets already bought in right everybody feels like they're bought in but what if things do happen cuz this feels like like a lot of Michael Silver's wrting about in his Chronicle the last ends the last Dan the last run with if you've never actually been to the dance or won the dance you got to win the Dance Before It's the Last Dance is that what they they give out an award at the maybe it's the last ride the last ride with Debo and friends who knows but you can ill afford to lose Fred wer go forbid we lose Fred water for a period of time I don't even like talking that into existence there's any any n because they Super Bowl losser Super Bowl losers do have the hangover they do have the they do regress look at Cincinnati right so nine out of 10 times people would have said Cincinnati playoffs right and then they start the year with the calf injury with burrow and then he gets hurt in the middle of the year they had no chance and and their backup quarterback did play well for a couple of games remember Jake Browning they actually did get some production out of their backup quarterback and yet because the AFC so loaded they had no no chance they just had no chance to make the playoffs so yeah if you lose your your quarterback you're screwed nine times out of 10 the only guy that I could see them losing and it's almost a lock they don't make the playoffs would be Brock pie even more so than CMC because of all the positions I know the Shanahan family can find a way to offset production over the aggregate it's not going to be one guy it's going to be multiple guys it would be the running back position because of this family's history Josh dos ain't doing it for you I just don't I just think the drop off between per and joshs isend I'm kidding I I thought going into the year that the drop off between pie and darnold wasn't that much and then as the year went on I was like yeah I'm way wrong on that I want to amend my opinion uh let's get to uh let's get to daker and unle J real quick because I think this is fascinating stuff I really do with the schedule of what Brock P's going to get on the market I think I I guess my question is everybody everybody cool and giving Brock party 170 million guaranteed it's all fine to Dandy we have a cuz when the I when the conversation shifts to brand and I you gets oh let's get a couple second round picks for him it's all good we'll replace a wide receiver Lord knows it's been tough to replace wide receivers but we don't have a problem with Brock py at $170 million and we have a bit of an issue with iuk want generational money this is what's going to f what's jerck golf now the highest paid quarterback second highest paid quarterback I think burrow still has the highest yearly salary average so you guys are ready to give Brock pie top five quarterback buddy what's the alternative refuse to give Brad and IU top 10 wide receiver money it's kind of interesting to me well I mean what are there more of in the NFL good wide receivers or good quarterbacks there's really good receivers I'll give you that there's a lot of good a lot of good wide receivers but obviously not everybody can plays head a head system right well yeah but I'd say the same about quarterback he's what with jiby he didn't like jiby yeah but he didn't win with Nick Mullins he didn't win with CJ bethard he didn't win with Brian Hoyer he didn't win with t thought he could win with Nick Mel yeah Wells thinks differ he pivoted off that opinion quickly he thinks differ uh let's go to D real possibly W I just don't see what a better alternative is to not paying so jar G his deal includes 73 million a $73 million signing bonus the largest in NFL history wow damn damn go ahead taker floor is yours all right this is the way I'm just going to keep it 100% here people got to get real look at how many times we had to run to the left side because the right side wasn't doing its job and that goes back to before mcaffrey why did we have to keep uh KD up for blocking because the right side isn't doing its job Brock went to the NFC Championship then the Super Bowl with a very young right siiz which realistically none of us should have thought that it was even going to happen because when you get to the Super Bowl you're facing the best of the best and the way I see it if we get our right side bet if they take the next step or some of these draft picks pin out we will be even better and our counter plays will be effective effective on both sides so people questioning Brock to me they're just hating because what he's doing from what was expected he's a blessing and sound like disrespectful Daner is it okay for us to question whether or not we're comfortable with giving a quarterback $170 million we've seen it for one year Brock's been really really good I don't discredit his season he is a top three MVP candidate hell I thought this offense was as dynamic as in the offense I've seen it in 30 years but is it hating where we're just kind of like I don't know about 170 million when you know what that means for the entire football team what other quarterback has produced like he has the last two seasons for the 49ers under kle shahad for any team for any team Jimmy garoo had a pretty damn good 2019 I know I know we don't want to say I know we don't want to say this but Jimmy garoppo set out at least five fourth quarters in 2019 and D near threw for, been calling Jimmy Jimmy Garbo from day one I know all this he wasn't worth it from day one Brock is Bron go through all of his reads I know we're on the same side I'm just passionate about it because it's like really weird to me the effectiveness like Brock goes through every read Jimmy was known to go through one or two all right so we're cool we're paying Brock py 170 million that's 49 I'm looking at YouTube right now admin honored perie deserves 170 million period period period I guess there's no conversation there shashki I mean they're I'm not even hating I'm just asking asking a question I got no and there's people out there think I got a problem with Brock pie I told you guys last off season you know what I'm saying I forget that forget what they think I want to ask you this let's go down the path the the alternative path okay they are hesitant for whatever reasons to pay Brock pie now what's your alternative out of options right unless something happens well you could franchise you can franchise Stafford's unhappy in La what so you think they go a different route quarterback no no I I we don't know what shed ahead's thinking shahad pivots so damn fast he pivots so fast I've kind of come to the realization they don't really have a like backup like look if you're the biggest Brock hater on the planet okay I ask you what's the alternative then for the 49ers right is there is one right now there isn't one you don't get rid of good quarterbacks and look can you play the hey we'll franchise tag you hey we'll go down that route yeah but then all the money is locked in for that particular year and you can't wiggle out of it so even if they give him a 5-year deal with like two or three years worth of guarantees really it's like like the Jimmy G it's like a two or threee deal and I think he's earned that much as of right now so unless someone could present me with an alternative option right now or packway I think this is where they're going at this moment there's no alternative right because we don't know how this season's going to play out we don't know who's going to be available next offseason after the season plays out that's the beauty of the NFL we don't know how the schedule's going to play out we don't know what the parody is going to look like we don't know who's going to be strong in at NC West sh we we're all guessing this is all a guessing game right now but what if Stafford is unhappy the reports are saying oh he wants new money and blah blah blah what if he is unhappy chah head what's had Epiphany for him like oh Stafford's available let me go to the beach house or go have dinner real quick I'll get back to you 38-year-old Stafford reping a 24-year-old py hell they wanted they asked about to Brady last year he's 45 years old that feels Brady that feels a little crazy but but the report came out [ __ ] ahead told pie if Brady's available you're gonna be on the [ __ ] but I think it could be good for you to learn shed had told him that F Tell Brady out Brady's a little different and it because the elbow of Brock pie and the elbow but he still looked at still looked at it I don't know I who's had more great years Brock or auk by just had back toback thousand yard receivers thousand yard seasons I I think you could say both of them had great years bald out both of them had back tobacker highs so like and I know you've been you know pay auk pay auk pay auk pay auk it's just why are we reluctant on the quarterback no it's just but it's fascinating on the flip side of the way I'm looking at is why are we reluctant to play huk and not reluctant to pay Brock because to me the way I build the team the quarterback is infinitely more important than a wi but you but you need the weapons though if you don't have the weapons you're not going to ball out we don't know and we don't know if Brock pry could ball out yet without these weapons weapons don't win superl they don't can have use an exra weapon against Kansas City well that's obvious but I I watched if you took the the great teams over time they've had many weapons you know and whether it's Tom Brady Joe Montana Payton Manning Eli Manning look at their Weaponry changes over time and the quarterback is the constant so to me the way I'm building a team is on especially a run first team is head coach number one most important I want him to be the play caller who's his quarterback and then and then work out the rest that's fair that's fair I got no problem with that I got no problem with that but the the the victory all over BR and auk was just fascinating to me was like this is Brock pretty's number one guy like who you s the thread who is it coach Madrid who who had the threat if Brock py throws over 25 yards those was Bren auk he was all over that highlight package but I also think that if we look at the way the league is right now right Superstar wide receivers don't win championships they don't but you need them to at least have a threat or a superstar in the past game City they didn't have Travis Kelce they don't win that Super Bowl but they do have Travis Kelce who's a superstar tighted hybrid SL Wide Receiver right yes yes but he's also making $15 million a year Tyreek was looking for $32 million a year and you know it's bang better bang for your buck to pay a tight end one half of what one would great rece we all agree though Boles is the exception to the rule yeah but I also see like Buffalo's doing the same thing they they got rid of a high priced wide receiver and went cheap in that area like the way the model is now we've talked so much about like it's either rookie quarterback elite weapons on the outside or Max quarterback rookie or you know rookie deal players on the outside and maybe you pay one of those primary Playmakers maybe uh let's go to the lines Uncle Jean Uncle Jee in Oakland real quick Uncle Jean oh we got we got time here I forgot uh we got a break at 912 Uncle G what's happening you're on the roast hey guys so first off uh I don't know what you're on this morning Bonte but I'm willing to stand in a three-hour line at CVS to get some myself all right anyways Niners listen I know you've said uh a few times now that you keep going back to the Detroit game and and the and the Green Bay games the first halfs but it's not how you start the games uh Bonte it's how you finish them uh you know Mahomes first half in the Super Bowl was terrible all right and you might you could argue that one of the F worst first halfs maybe first half's Plus in the history of the playoffs and in a Super Bowl was was Tom Brady's against Atlanta all right and he had his miraculous comeback good point all right Detroit and Green Bay were miraculous comebacks and you put it all on bro on Brock pretty listen uh I I didn't think last year was our our year yet because we didn't have the experience okay I was still fearful of Mahomes and sure enough he came through all right this year is our year if we stay healthy and whole get auk get green law back we go 14 and three or no worse than 13 and four I can't argue that other than the fact that it was super bowl or bus last season we all identified this offense as the best offense the Niners would have since 94 I think most of us did 30 points a game they're going to blow people out you got all these weapons the best Weaponry they've had in years both wide receivers tight end running back and the quarterback with the head coach and they did it was a year hell let Steve Young tell it he joined Willard the divs the other day here's what Steve Young said about last year at the N chance with a Super Bowl the most pressure was last year right because last year the the Rams are down the the the whole division's down Seahawks are down the Cardinals are way down you know in the playoffs you play a packer team that's been middling the whole day you got a up and start Lions Squad you're like that's how we get to the Super Bowl and then you play a down year Chiefs team like of all the times that you're set up to do it that was it but since the Ravens at Christmas I mean we just weren't the same and you know we held Patrick Mahomes to 19 points you going have told me Patrick mes won't score three touchdowns we're not going to win that game like you know you're not going to walk over the backers not going to walk over the lions like things were Haywire from Christmas on and that's why last year was the time with the best roster in football to go get it done and the fact is it didn't happen that happens to happen to me I get that but now next year I think the ramps will be better I think the the you know Marvin heris will make the cards better the Seahawks will be better the Lions will be the Packers will be better like it's going to get better and uh and we're not we're probably not I don't know if we'll get better but hopefully we can stay the same and start and still beat the Reagan file with this amazing roster we have in the way that we Innovative deploy the guys in on offense then yeah great but I just what what just happened was a big miss it just was it was it was too bad that that's kind of where I'm at it was a big Miss and everybody's going to be better I'm not knocking Brock but if there's a little regression I don't want to say hey Brock's bad I'm not going to do that I expect a little regression last year was a was a fairy tale was a fairy tale type season for the 49ers offense so everyone giv last year was their window that's an interesting part of his of his statement what about the part where he said everything went haywire after Christmas would you what do you think of that when Haywire after Christmas well we talk about the playoff caves somebody's pointed me hey po you put it playoff those those are the big boys remember the Packers week right they also didn't play week seven 18 they played darnold a couple guys played some guys were mad that they had to suit up right I think auk was mad he had to suit up right no he was not mad about that he was mad he didn't get one more catch or something it waso who was mad they may have been mad someone was mad they had to play so they lose the Rams Haywire GRE law you mentioned ail citis you didn't know about Eric Armstead they weren't getting much of a pass rush he got hurt early in the Green Bay game shoulder and I remember the week of the GRE Bay game we thought okay they beat Dallas and they beat up on Dallas come on Jan loves coming to Levis and they G us all that they gave us all they could handle H had us very very nervous in the fourth quarter very nervous kicker misses a kick we all forget Carlson makes us a kick you know we can talk about luck margins and all that he misses a field goal which was a terrible decision at a Joes made a great run what did the Flor say about him he closes his eyes and praise whenever he KS basically coach I mean they Dro two pick sixes and it's not all on him but Greg Olsson you watched the game you heard Greg olon and Kevin Burkhart what did you tell me keep it real shasi after you call me watching that game what did you tell me after listening to that broadcast after I had six clips oh they were thoroughly unimpressed with Brock pie in that game but he made he he made a couple plays down the stretch and and came back and one show resiliency he was all over the place for three discredit for that all over the place the first play of the second half could have been a
