TecmoSuperJoe Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 If this was pre-salary cap, definitely Jackson over Purdy. Now, probably not. If Jackson had proven to be some savant in the postseason with more than only 1 win thus far, maybe. But my perception with this question will really change once the playoffs start if we're talking salary-cap era. The 49ers aren't in the spot they are, or will be for the next couple of seasons without that rookie-contract cheat code. Jackson is getting this praise after the win against the 49ers, as he should, but it's hard to turn immediately turn my back on the operation the 49ers have going for them right now. It really feels like a team in the pre-cap era. That's a crazy advantage to have when trying to win a Super Bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could maybe argue contracts and injuries, but he's got the next best resume after Mahomes imo (and Rodgers obv but age and recency). Resume wise, no doubt, but Lamar has been MIA as far as that debate goes since his MVP season. Would one year (particularly one where the “reigning” #2 guy is injured) be enough to vault one from out of the top 5ish into solid #2?

I was thinking the reigning #2 guy's case is built on two elite years, similarly to Lamar, except one has recency bias, but I think this is a fair question.

Forge Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Right now, because of Purdy's contract, I would not take Jackson over him. If we are just talking in a vacuum where everything such as contract is equal then I'm definitely taking Lamar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMcFife Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I do believe that coaches from the Shanny/Kubiak line prefer robot QBs who are extremely precise in going through their progressions over a talented gunslinger who will ad lib at times. They believe their scheme and playcalling are so advanced that they don't want the QB interfering with the process. And in many cases they are right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HerbertGOAT Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Nah, but it's the kinda situation where it's the tier of "even if this guy is better than my guy, my guy is my guy and it's pointless to trade". If my QB was Lamar, I woldn't trade him for Herbert, for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you probably have to put Houston in there as well right now. Contract and he looks legit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
