Ich finde es irgendwo zwischen lustig und absurd, aber Brock Purdy, NFL Quarterback und Mister Irrelevant, lebt aus Kostengründen in einer WG. Es ist schon krass, dass er jetzt der Starter für die 49ers ist und wie wenig die somit für ihren QB1 aufbringen müssen - eventuell sogar über 5 Jahre!

Cost of living is ridiculous in the area he plays in.

I hope he becomes hometown gold like Baker Mayfield (was before the browns browns-ed around) and gets lots of endorsements from local (lol) businesses.

In the meantime the niners have the most cap space of any team in football (Davante Adams, want to come play for a winning team?) And have relatively few big contracts coming up (Brandon aiyuk).

We will see Sunday night vs the cowboys how good they actually are, so far they've properly abused lesser teams, but outside of 1 fluke game the boys don't seem to be one of those push over teams.

And since you like niners trivia, during the entirety (I believe) of our regular season win streak, the every team the niners beat also lost their next game as well, until week 2 of this season when the Steelers broke that streak. Niners don't just break a team down for their game, they break their ability to play football. Or they had a decently cushy schedule.

As a regular dude from center Europe, it's hard to imagine that considering his salary, he cannot afford his own place to live. But then, I got no idea how expensive that area really is.

For the 49ers, this of course is a dream coming true. Next to other factors, a of performing quarterback with no primetime contract has lead to success in the past 😎

That bit of trivia is gold. But the dynamics of momentum within such a large group of men along with statistical effects related to a schedule really make it hard to tell if the teams were trash, just in a bad streak or if it was just random luck. This is what I love the league for: all the experts are just fishing in troubled waters.
