Brock Purdy, the young quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, impressed many with his performance in leading his team to the Super Bowl in his second year. Despite not securing a victory against the future Hall of Famer, Purdy left a lasting impression. However, his critics, who had labeled him a “game-manager” throughout the 2023-24 season, found validation in the team’s Super Bowl loss. Despite leading the NFL in passer rating and QBR during the regular season and securing the top-seeded NFC playoff berth, Purdy’s critics focused solely on his Super Bowl performance.
One analyst, Emmanuel Acho, stands apart from the critics. He believes that San Francisco should pay Purdy whatever he demands, even though he only has two seasons remaining on his rookie contract with the franchise.
Acho expressed his support for Purdy on FS1’s “Speak,” stating, “I don’t think you can find a better quarterback than Brock Purdy. I am willing to pay him whatever he asks for.”
In addition to his regular salary, Purdy would be eligible for substantial incentives. Last season, when he led the 49ers to the conference championship game, he earned $162,000, the same as his teammates. This season, for leading the team to the NFC championship once again, Purdy is set to receive $174,000, along with his teammates. He would also receive an additional $89,000 for reaching the Super Bowl. If the team had won the championship, Purdy would have earned $164,000.
Furthermore, due to his MVP-caliber performance, Purdy would likely be selected as a Pro Bowl quarterback. As a result of the Super Bowl loss, Purdy will receive $44,000, while Mahomes from the winning team will receive $88,000.
