One year deal . ouch. Well on the bright side We saw what Brock Purdy could do in that offense. No reason Sam cant shine as well. Unquestionably, One of the better head coaches in the NFL as well as one of the better GM’s see something. These guys know football players.
I’m sure the $18 million he made last year will help soothe his hurt ego.
He’s being signed to back up Lance and purdy. or as insurance. They had 4 qb get hurt last year and miss time.
lance was hurt so they need insurance against that. Purdy may be fools gold and so they need insurance against that. Sam Darnold is absolutely the best 3rd strong qb in the nfl and if I’m him I’m not sure I do what he did.
i get that he’s not a top level starter but if it’s me? I decide whether I want to start in a crappy team and work on my CTE. Or maybe back up for a good team and preserve my health and collect a check for another 10 years. But get a chance to play a few games a year. I confess that I didn’t expect him to choose door number 3
What is his salary?
3rd string mattered last year for the 49ers. So if Lance's knee(or ankle) is still wobbly he'll likely play at some point. But this is where is career is. The last flicker of a possibility that he could be good in the league may have passed. I was as wrong about his league prospects as I was our Mike Williams 20 years ago. Sigh
3RD STRING! What an amazing fall. I called it but I still feel bad for the kid. IQ can not be faked.
He was a free agent this year right? So like you say the Niners spotted something they liked and took a chance. If he plays, this time he’ll have a good O- line certainly better than NY and Carolina so no excuses.
