'cause you don't wanna be stuck with that big Purdy contract.
That's a Purdy big contract.
You don't wanna be stuck with that and then not have the pieces around it.
They, they are prime right now.
They are a perfect situation to continue a veteran team and try this thing one last time.
I think the biggest thing, though, is gonna come down to Brock Purdy.
I still think we're not, we're not, we're still not sure what he is.
I feel like a lot of people are still judging him as Mr.
Irrelevant, and that's just not the case.
He's already earning that money now.
He's making over 50 million annually.
You know what I mean?

You know?
He, he proved, he proved that, Shanahan can make any quarterback look decent.
I mean, Mac Jones was battling injury and having some pretty good games.
So, you know, the problem is there's a difference between operating Shanahan's offense and maximizing Shanahan's offense, and we need to know if Purdy can actually maximize it this year
