Feel very bad for him. He was playing well. This not only is a bummer for this year, it’s going to cost him a lot of money.
I suspect Lynch is working the phones. Fitzpatrick, Newton. Or, Kaepernick? What a story that would be…. Dont think they can make a trade as deadline passed.
They have to pick up someone. Purdy and Eason is their part depth chart. And if the o-line continues to play as it did today, Purdy won’t last long.
Heck of a gutty win. Got some help with Tua being off.
Absolute bummer about Jimmy G. He was playing very well, and his absence takes this team from the top group of Super Bowl contenders and puts in the “very unlikely but not impossible” tier. Purdy played well given the circumstances and clearly falls into the “absolute gamer but lacks NFL tools” category; he also missed a few reads.
We did sign Josh Johnson, but that feels like a move to get another body in the QB room; not one that really raises our ceiling.
I’m not sure what else we can do though. We ride the D and hope Purdy and our arsenal of playmakers makes enough plays to keep us in the mix. The unsigned QB market looks awful. Newton is done, and after him it looks even worse. Glennon? AJ Mccaron? Carson Strong? It is truly slim pickings.
Maybe Andrew Luck will come out of retirement. I’d at least make the call. Fitzpatrick, Brees, or Rivers might be worth a call as well. But other then Luck, I’m not sure if any of these options are better then Purdy.
