Wow. This is big. But I like this trade for 9ers. Get what you can and walk away from a mistake. They've done plenty of good. This won't kill the franchise.

  While I do agree that a player of his pedigree who isn’t even out of their rookie contract should be a great insurance policy, he did get beat out by Darnold as the second string. Strictly from a cap perspective, paying a third string quarterback a first round rookie contract is not ideal.
  
  He's not unknown - they've got multiple years of Trey Lance in practice. We don't get to see most of that but the 9ers staff do and they've decided he's not good enough to start.
  
  It is costing them millions of dollars a year. Trading him opens up that cap money for other players.
Hahahahahahahahaha

Ahem. I meant to say as an Eagles fan this is hilarious

  It's obviously embarrassing for niners fans to have this opinion, but I get it. For the niners players to also say stuff like this out loud, into microphones, is pretty pathetic. Welcome to football in 2023, protect... your... quarterback

Ugh. Niners fan by marriage here. Not sure if I like any aspect of this saga.

Fuck them boys.

2 firsts and a swap for a 4th?

We're really going to lose 2 previous starting qbs for a kid who's already lost us a playoff game due to injury?

Is darnold really our backup?
- lost us a playoff game due to injury
  
  This is the shitiest of shit takes. “Damn that Purdy exceeding expectations in every possible way until he hurt himself, intentionally, in a playoff game.” 🙄
- Wait, there are people who are mad at Purdy for the Eagles loss?
