That sucks for him - even though he plays for a hated rival, he's a great local story

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Him risking further injury to stay in the game after Johnson got hurt is going to earn him endless locker room credit. Niners got a gem with him.

 

[football karma]

given the trend for pass rushers to swipe at the ball vs tackling the QB --

im surprised this injury doesnt happen more often. the force of a NFL QB throwing a ball forward meeting a Edge players arm going the other direction has to be immense

 

[TRW]

That is a shame. Too bad for him.

The guy selected very last in his draft year has far better leadership skills than our QB who was the #1 overall draft pick.

No matter what the narrative, he was going back to the bench next year anyways. Trey Lance will be the starter if healthy. Too much invested

I very much doubt that had he stayed healthy. He showed more promise then Trey Lance ever did. JMO Heck even Lance can't stay healthy.

The UCL is a bad injury and a super painful rehab. It wouldn't surprise me if it takes a lot of time.

Agreed. I very much doubt Shanahan plays the lesser player because of draft position politics.

 

[Solar7]

Poor dude. It's not a guarantee he recovers from something like this either. Could go from being the darling of the league for a few weeks to out of football.

 

[Jttsaz]

Really sucks for him..he may never be the same and he is getting paid like the last pick in the draft...would have been up for a huge pay raise with guaranteed money at some point..

I'm not questioning which QB is actually better. I just know how these teams operate. There's no way that a top 3 overall pick that they traded a bunch of draft capital to get, was going to sit in 2023 for Mr Irrelevant. I think they realize, like I do, that Purdy's success was much more tied to that defense, run game and coaching than anything else. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if Ryan Lindley could have made it work. LOL. That last part was a bit of exaggeration but you get my point.

Tough break for him but He got his 15 minutes.
The league would’ve figured him out.

Matt Flynn and Scott Mitchell come to mind.

Those dude got paid, though.

Nah, he's going to Houston.

Nah, he's going to Houston.

Not so sure. I think with all the holes on that roster, they'd do better using cap money to sign multiple FA's and then draft a young QB to groom. I think it makes more sense for Jimmy G to end up in Carolina or Tampa Bay, with a team that just needs average QB play.

 

[QuebecCard]

Agreed. I very much doubt Shanahan plays the lesser player because of draft position politics.

(DeMeco connection?)

Had Purdy stayed healthy, Lance may have been a trade chip with the Texans.

And I wonder if Jimmy G, a free agent, could end up with the Texans, which throws a curve into the top of the draft.

I don't think you eschew drafting a QB because you signed Jimmy Garapolo.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

I don't think you eschew drafting a QB because you signed Jimmy Garapolo.

He's going to get really good money...probably not Kyler money, but still really good money. You don't sign him and then use a high draft pick on a QB.

 

[QuebecCard]

I don't think you eschew drafting a QB because you signed Jimmy Garapolo.

But do you draft one at the top of the draft?

Wherever Jimmy G goes, he's not signing a placeholder contract.

Yeah the interesting thing is today Shanahan said he thought it was highly unlikely Jimmy G would be back given they had Lance and Purdy. I immediately thought you don't know if Purdy will even play.

 

[Russ Smith]

Yep I can tell you most 49er fans thought it was Purdy's job to lose and were even dreaming up pipe dream scenarios to trade Lance and get some draft capital back
