But as rumors swirl about a reported $60 million extension, not everyone is convinced that locking in Purdy for the long term is the ideal move. Former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings is one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on <em>First Things First <\/em>with Nick Wright and Jennings cast doubt over the 49ers committing big money to Purdy, arguing that San Francisco might regret investing heavily in a quarterback who is yet to prove his mettle consistently.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWill they regret it? I think they will, simply because of what we\u2019re talking about right now,\u201d Jennings said. \u201cWith Brock Purdy, the challenge is going to be what we saw this year can be what we will see moving forward.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p>Looking to predict NFL playoff Scenarios? Try our NFL Playoff Predictor for real-time simulations and stay ahead of the game!<\/p>\n<p>Jennings\u2019 concerns stem from how Purdy performed in key moments, particularly in San Francisco\u2019s playoff run two seasons ago. While he was efficient and limited turnovers, critics argue that his success was largely a product of an elite roster and coaching scheme.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI didn\u2019t think he played bad, but he clearly didn\u2019t play good enough to where they were able to overcome some of those issues,\u201d the ex-Packer added. \u201cThey\u2019re not going to have all these guys moving forward once you decide to pay Brock Purdy. And even if you don\u2019t decide to pay him, you\u2019re still not going to have all these guys.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Is Brock Purdy worth the gamble in 2025? 49ers face huge QB conundrum<\/h2>\n<p>The 49ers have built their success around a stacked lineup, including stars like Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, and George Kittle. However, once Purdy secures a lucrative extension, San Francisco will have to make tough roster decisions, potentially losing key contributors.<\/p>\n<p>The argument against paying Purdy a top-tier contract is that his effectiveness has largely come from being surrounded by an elite group of athletes, rather than elevating the team by himself.<\/p>\n<p>Purdy\u2019s contract negotiations have yet to begin in earnest, but 49ers owner Jed York has made it clear that the franchise sees him as their long-term answer.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019ll do everything we can to make that work,\u201d York recently said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Still, the question remains: Is Purdy truly capable of carrying an above-average offense on his shoulders? While some believe his poise, decision-making, and efficiency justify a major deal, skeptics argue he hasn&#8217;t proven he can be a game-changer when circumstances aren\u2019t ideal.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the 49ers face a tough decision. Is Purdy worth a lucrative deal? Or will they find themselves in a financial bind, as Jennings warns?<\/p>\n<p>One thing is for sure: San Francisco has a lot to think about before making Purdy one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brock Purdy\u2019s stellar rise from Mr. Irrelevant to San Francisco 49ers\u2019 franchise quarterback has been one of the NFL\u2019s biggest storylines in the last decade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":35301,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;He clearly didn&#039;t play good enough&quot;
