I now own a large brand new home and 32 beautiful acres of land for 25% less than what I sold my very small condo in S.F. for. Min affordable living salary I recently read was $135k. As much as my wife wants to move back home to S.F. it just doesn't make sense $$$ wise.
49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1
- Thread starter guitarchitect7
- Start date
And again, he's doing it at less than a million bucks a year. If you can have even marginal QB play for someone as cheap as Brock you take it. If you can get quality QB play while being able to spread money around to some veterans at key spots, you've struck gold.
Exactly. Having a reliable back up QB on a minimum draft salary for the next two seasons is great. Having that guy be a winning starter is like winning the lottery.
Now Brock has made it, breece has one too

That looks more like Glen Campbell.Now Brock has made it, breece has one too
Yeah, not a great likeness. It looks like they used one of those character generators from Facebook or something.
Purdy's roommate grew up with Mike Rose, who was Purdy's roommate along with Breece Hall at ISU.

Nick Zakelj describes what it's like living with 49ers QB Purdy
49ers offensive lineman Nick Zakelj shared what it’s like living with quarterback Brock Purdy.

He had skinny legs but was a great processor and an accurate thrower. Purdy is great at those too. People talk about him like he's so small.
6'1" 215 lbs. Purdy is roughly the same size as Drew Brees who was also a great processor and accurate thrower. You can play at that size. It's not that bad. People talk about him like he's 5'9" 165 lbs. He's simply not that small. It's ridiculous. He has plenty enough size and strength.
I don't even think Brees is 6 foot.
Purdy’s a little bit taller
Wiki has him listed like this.
Brees = 6'0" 209 lbs.
Purdy = 6'1" 215 lbs.
The idea that he's not big enough to play is laughable.
He has some Brees like qualities. Great processing pre and post snap. Quick decisions, get the ball out quick. Excellent mechanics to throw an accurate catacable ball. Purdy is more athletic running around and slightly bigger. He reminds me of a young Brees. If he can be that good they can win the Super Bowl. Maybe more than 1.
Those are huge shoes to fill. Brees has about every passing record that matters.
Who knows what passing records he will get? It doesn't matter anyway. Just meaning size height and weight, processing, quickly going through reads, making the right decision, getting the ball out quick, timing, great mechanics, throwing with excellent accuracy.
He does remind me of a YOUNG Drew Brees who was not yet prolific in huge yards and TD's at that stage. More mature and veteran Brees put up bigger numbers.
I'm just saying similarities are there. In the way they process and throw with accuracy and make great decisions.

If I could turn back time I would've interviewed hard with some of the big tech firms in Silicon Valley my senior year in Ames and slummed it for a few years with a bunch of roommates then moved back to the Midwest. 9 years into my career and I'm fine but I barely make more than my starting salary would have been at 1 of FANG corps.
