Purdy has two more seasons on his rookie deal. By the time they start talking contract I would assume one way or another the 49ers will know his worth by then. IMO he's a product of their offense but I don't mean that as a major slight as in the NFL a QB still needs to make the right reads and put the ball where the receivers can catch it and he's proven to be pretty efficient. His limitations show up when the 49ers are in close games or trailing when he tries to make throws his arm can't cash. I kind of see some similar shortcomings that Garoppolo had in that the deep ball isn't part of their offense and it's more death by 1000 cuts until they break a long run after the catch but he seems a little more accurate than Jimmy Picks. I just look back at that Ravens game and the QB disparity between the teams was hard to ignore when two pretty equal teams were facing each other.
