San Francisco 49ers podcast David Zizmor:

#1 David, some critics have said that 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy have said that Purdy is not worth of the $265 million five year deal he signed. That Purdy did not perform at a NFL top level. What is your take on such criticism.

#2 Purdy’s deal puts him in a tie for seventh highest paid player in the NFL and ties him with quarterback Jered Goff. Goff has a salary of $53 million per year. In 2023 Purdy set a single season record for passing yards at 4280 and threw for 31 touchdowns. Purdy’s numbers fell in 2024 passing at 3864, 20 touchdowns, and the 49ers finished 6-11.

#3 Critics continued to say that Purdy failed to elevate the 49ers and didn’t rise to the occasion in facing adversity and didn’t have the traits to live up to the leagues tip quarterbacks with some of the top contracts in the NFL.
