Brock Purdy’s Future with 49ers in Question After Struggles and Contract Speculation

The young quarterback faces performance issues, offensive challenges, and looming contract negotiations as San Francisco evaluates its options.

Brock Purdy's recent inconsistent performances, including a poor showing against the Rams, have raised concerns about his role as the 49ers' long-term quarterback.
The 49ers' offense has struggled overall, with injuries to key players, a lackluster running game, and questions about play-calling and offensive line protection contributing to the team's 6-7 record this season.
Despite his struggles, analysts predict Purdy could still command a record-breaking contract extension, potentially exceeding $60 million per year, though this remains speculative at this stage.
A potential Purdy extension may lead to significant roster changes, with high-profile players like Deebo Samuel and Javon Hargrave possibly being released to manage the salary cap.
Former 49ers coach Mike Martz has defended Purdy, attributing his challenges to insufficient offensive line protection and emphasizing his potential as a franchise quarterback.
