What do people think of Purdy and how the 49ers should handle his contract situation? Until recently I felt it was a no-brainer: give him a big contract, the only issue was how big. But this is three games in a row that he’s thrown a 4th quarter interception and is starting to remind me of what Bill Walsh used to say about Steve Deberg: “He’s just good enough to get you beat.”

5 years, $58 mms. a year. Last night's game was a microcosm of Purdy. He had the maximum 158.3 passer rating in the first half, second half (with two INTs), somewhere in the 70s. He's 14th in passer rating for QBs with at least 2,000 yards. That makes him average with average receivers.

Niners might want to force him to play the last year of his rookie contract. Maybe even franchise tag him.
