NFL got the Largest TV audience in a decade and how much that translated to sales of football items and 'new' young fans. Millions of additional $$$$ split between the NFL and the NFLPA. The business side of the NFL is fascinating.
I'm not really disappointed with anything at this point. The teams that are healthy at QB are winning. Those that don't have one are losing. Nothing new there.
The most interesting topic may be as the season moves ahead, the race for SC's QB and the fact that there are up to 8 decent qB's that may go in the first round this coming year. I wonder how many teams will outwardly try to tank starting about 1/2 way through.
Strangely, AZ doesn't seem to be heading in that direction.
All in all, I'm liking this year so far.

The Cowboys game should be interesting to see how their Offense does against a good Defense from Dallas.
NorthHawk wrote:Purdy is a good to very good QB who hasn't had to put a team on his back and carry them to a win - because the 49ers are so talented all through their lineup. He's also the beneficiary of a great HC who has developed a very QB friendly Offense from which a QB can learn. Combine that with great talent on Offense around him and Purdy should do real well in SF.
NorthHawk wrote:Look at how much Shanahan got out of those QBs. They won more games than we would expect and haven't done much on any other team.
I think Purdy is a good QB, and better than those listed, but he hasn't faced much adversity that had to be overcome by going beyond what we've seen so far.
As far as Shanahan's Offense goes, you just have to look at what happened after he left Atlanta. Their Offense tanked and the SF Offense started to come to life. He's a great Offensive coach and seems to know how to get the most out of
his QBs and game plan for their strengths as well as against their weaknesses.
NorthHawk wrote:Wow. SF sure looks dominant so far.
I hate to say it, but Purdy looks like a young Montana as he has a similar skill set. He's accurate and like Collinsworth kept saying processes real quick but doesn't have a cannon. We might have some problems for the next decade with Shanahan and Purdy on that team and with KS knowing how to get the most out of him. I still need to see how he handles not being in front and having to really lead the team a few times before he gets to the level of Montana, though.

Much more so than most teams drafting at that place.
Yeah he continues to disappointment me, I am very disappointed right now that the 49ers struck gold(no pun intended) with Purdy. If he continues at this pace he should be the league MVP with how efficient he is, and fast he can get through his reads. He probably won't get it because someone like Hurts of Mahomes would put up more stifling stats, but Purdy is a gem to watch. I hate him..
