Brock Purdy on why he took a team friendly contract

[GINeric]

Im still upset Dak took that much. He isn't worth it. He is greedy and selfish for doing it.

Other than Mahomes, name me the max dollar quarterbacks in the league who's worth what they're getting paid.... and are all these other quarterbacks not named Mahomes, greedy and selfish for accepting the max dollar contracts they are receiving???

Purdy did not put the team first. His agent definitely did not put the team first. They wanted $60+ million. We can dispense with Purdy’s a swell guy nonsense. The 49ers had some leverage in negotiations with Purdy. He had a year left on his current deal. He could be traded. He could be tagged twice. Dak could not be traded or tagged. Dak would have been a UFA at the end of the 2024 season. Jerry did not have the leverage the Niners had and paid for it.

Like I said, behind the scenes is a different story but in front of the media Purdy says all the right things while dak doesn’t

I am not going to blame players for wanting the most money they can get out of these billionaires. I blame the owners for approving out stupid contracts.

In my lifetime of experience in the workforce, I've seen people sacrifice or compromise themselves for two reasons, money is the major reason. They'll go anywhere, do anything for extra money regardless of how it negatively impacts their lives. Of course I'm talking about people that make good money either way.

It's so weird. Now I'm not talking about a guy who makes 50 grand being offered 100 grand, that'd be different.

Being miserable in a job is just not worth it. The sacrifice I see the most tends to be city/county/state workers. Most of them are miserable in their jobs but keep going to work just to get retirement. And the pay isn't great.

Some of these guys I don’t even know if they have a market..

Who would want Purdy?

I would imagine you're being facetious. Purdy is nudging the top 10.

li Manning made much less money than Tom Brady despite beating him twice in the Super Bowl.

According to OverTheCap

Eli Manning career APY = $14,530,625
Tom Brady career APY = $13,809,556

Bringing Dilfer into the conversation is embarrassing. Dilfer is an outlier in every aspect imaginable.

Use your head. Not your heart.

You hit on a good point. I've seen people miserable just to be at a location 15 minutes closer to home. I think my 8 hours at work is more important than an extra 10-15 minutes it might take me to get to that better place. I remember telling one guy, I wouldn't work here if I lived here.

Back in 2019 I took a 20k pay cut to get to a better place. But both positions still paid well. Because like you said, 50k to 100k, most people would make some sacrifices.

 

[Rockport]

Because he is a better teammate than Dak. That's why. Not everyone puts themselves first like the Dakster.

You’re never one to miss an opportunity to hate on the Dak and the Cowboys. Trigger happy.

That is BS
